Thank you! It's surprisingly substantial for a straw bag. It's lined with leather trim and easily accommodates all the essentials I carry in my larger bags. (Sorry to gush, but I never thought I'd be able to find this bag after it sold out last year!)
Bellarte. I'm not sure if it's underrated or just a new brand.. But they are beautiful and pretty affordable for someone with my budget. Haha
And now I found a picture of the bag:

Henri Bendel bags are amazing! The West 57th line is outstanding and my personal favorite The A-List totes
Firstly - Furla Candy bag. I get why some people would not like it given the material and/or the fact it is see-through. However, once you feel the bag - it is actually quite sturdy, sturdier than you would think. It is also hassle-free -- water-proof, and easy to clean. I just have one, a magnolia-rose/pink croc-embossed variation.
Next - older Prada models. It seems everyone goes gaga over the saffiano bags (those who are not complaining about its quality anyway), but once older Prada models enter the picture, there is little to no appreciation, other than that from the established Prada experts. This is strange considering the older models had much better quality, and better craftsmanship, than the new models (like saffiano bags). It almost seems like people just want the "It" or "in" bag, and it's not about true appreciation of beautiful and quality handbags from a designer/brand. I am in no way a saffiano hater, since I own one and I still love it as I have not experienced quality issues (yet?). However, I am sharing my feelings as to why I feel the older Prada models are underrated.
First picture shows my Furla; next pictures show my bags which are older Prada models. I love how the Pradas have leather lining. The first two bags are quite similar since they are both from the Prada Berlino leather line. The last one is my Prada Python/snakeskin bag.
