I was looking to get my first
Prada bag, I am a LV girl. I saw the Saffiano Lux Tote and fell in love with the classic design. I have a bunch of hand held bags, but love the option of a detachable shoulder strap for shopping. While crusing the Prada website I saw the BN1801, and thought this would be my bag. I went to a Prada in NYC an saw it in real life. It was beautiful, but kinda small for me. I am 6 foot tall. It was the only Saffiano Lux with a strap. I went home to think about it. I decided to cruise the web to see if they ever made a larger version with a strap and came across the Saffiano Lux Executive Tote on the Neiman Marcus website, but was not loving the shorter handles.

Today I went to a Prada in Queens, in the nasty rain, and wanted to see if they carried the Neiman Marcus version, they did not, but to my luck the sales associate told me a larger version came in of the BN1801, the BN2274! I was in heaven! It was the perfect size and not too far ooff my budget(DH is paying half for my birthday!). The price was $1810.00 plus tax. The size is aprox 13.5in w X 9 h X 5.5 d. Handle drop length is about 4.5-5 in. I do not see this bag on the website yet, was told they got them in the store yesterday. I am so happy I wanted to get the perfect size for me. I will post photos shortly!
