Hi everyone!

(if you don't want to read the whole thing--basically I can only have one: pre-owned Prada that can be used professionally, or full-priced Celine for now).

I recently bought the Prada BN2274 in Camel off Yoogi's Closet. I don't think I would use it day to day because I still attend classes as a student, but I had a 10% off coupon and I felt like I would be losing out if I didn't purchase it. (does that ever happen to anyone?!). It's a beautiful bag, but I think most if its use will be after I graduate. I would still use it on weekends, but I mainly bought it for future use; I am just scared of not finding it at this price again.

However, of course I had to stop by Neiman Marcus today and of course I had to walk by Celine and of course the SA was super nice and let me try on a Trapeze:p. And it was LOVE. It is just a stunning bag. It would cost more than the Prada but now I'm thinking of returning the Prada and saving (a long time) for the Celine? Again, I don't know how much use I would get out of it since I'm mostly in class or in the library. It seems a little silly to spend so much on a bag that I won't use much now and potentially may not use in the future either.

Which do you prefer on me? I feel like the Prada has more lasting power, and especially when I graduate it would be used much more than the Celine. Plus the price difference is pretty steep. But the Celine...:loveeyes:

Thank you in advance! Sorry for the huge photos, I'm not sure how to resize on Photobucket.

I have both and I wanna get rid of both but mostly because I like smaller bags and I don't like rigid bags. I will sell them but here is my imput:
Prada is more organized it has more pockets
Prada is more of an immortal design and will last years
Prada has great repairs and is more affordable
Prada even has sales!

No doubt
 
I vote Celine, it looks so good on you. Much as I believe in bags being for all ages I do think this particular Prada has a "mature" feel to it and the Celine is more youthful.

Does Prada have good customer service for repairs? I noticed one of the buttons on my lux tote snaps open when I'm using it, so the opening of the bag ends up widening :/
