I just bought my prada bag on FEB this year at Paris,use less than 5times and now I found out the handle lining was come out...anyone know can it be repair or exchanged??im from Singapore...
My 2274 after 2 months of use..the trimming at the top cracked and a hole at the bottom left corner.
I used to be in love with Prada bags but now I am never going back. I went into the Prada 5th Ave store to exchange my Saffiano Lux Tote because there were several defects on the bag (bad stitching on the straps and tacky glue like substance around the gold hardware on the handles). After much waiting and major attitude from the manager named Diana, I manage to get a new bag. When I get home and inspect it further I realized there was a HUGE hole in the fabric lining! AND she made me sign the bag off as a final sale and now I can't even return or exchange it.
If you are planning to get a Saffiano or ANY prada bag do not go to the 5th AVE store. They are extremely rude and reluctant when you try to return a DEFECTIVE item. I would try to steer clear of any Prada things! Their lack of quality control is astounding
I totally agree! Prada after-sales service lies right at the bottom of the pit! Seems like whichever country you're in, their staff are in denial of their deteriorating quality and non-apologetic about it.
Thanks for your reply.May I know even purchase outside Singapore,repair will be free?
I'm so sad to continuously read about Prada's quality issues. I want so many of their bags, as I love how classy and polished they look. I'm so in love with the design, so I keep telling myself that the quality might not be that bad.. but it's hard to ignore so much evidence.
Another problem that I have is that I don't have a Prada store in my country (in EU) - do you girls know what happens if I buy it online or in Italy - if it's defective will they accept me sending the bag by post?
I have inspect quite a few BN2638 Saffiano Lux Tote, I noticed many new ones doesn't have their zippers fully zip until the end. If both of the zippers doesn't bite till the end, isit really consider as a defect??I had the same issue with my zips! I went back and was allowed an exchange. I had to look at 4 different bags before I found one that had both fully closing zips.
Mine was bought in Milan, and i got it repaired last year at Ion boutique. The staff said that the repair is free within two years of purchase and chargeable thereafter.
I assume you brought your receipt with you?
