I am wanting to purchase my first designer bag, and I am stuck between the Neonoe and Prada Re-edition 2005.
I love the Neonoe, as I love the black leather with the monogram canvas. It’s a very beautiful, carefree bag. However, there are some cons holding me back from purchasing it, which are:
- there is no zipper. I live in a city where it rains majority of the year, so I don’t want all my contents inside getting wet/ruined.
- fits awkward crossbody. i am only 5’2, so it hits too low on my body.
- it doesn’t sit flat against my body. when walking around in crowded areas or using public transit, I am scared of people hitting/scratching my bag.
Whereas, I love the Prada Re-edition 2005, because it’s a care free, waterproof nylon bag. It can be worn crossbody, and it has a zipper. There are also many different ways to wear and style the bag. However, it seems to be more of a “trendy” bag with the huge crossbody strap. I also do not like how Prada bags quickly drop their value, in case I do want to sell my bag in the future. Overall, I just want to be able to wear my bag for years, so I am not sure if this style will fade out in the upcoming years.
Would you recommend the Neonoe or Prada Re-edition 2005? Did anyone else have the same concerns with their Neonoe, but ended up being totally in love with the bag? Please let me know of your experience! I am also open to suggestions for other bags, as I prefer carefree crossbody bags. Thanks!
(Note: While I do like the Speedy B25, I do not like how common it is, which is turning me off from getting it)
