Oh my, what a gorgeous color! Great choice. How do you like the Embleme bag? I know it's a new purchase, but I've been liking it more and more and I definitely prefer it to the Celine box bag, especially considering the price difference.Hello Prada lovers,

My new travel set; a Prada duffle, toiletry pouch, and cosmetic bag. Love the unexpected blue interior of the pouch!

Prada has been farming out work to China for well over 10 years now. Initially it was only certain bags, but now they farm out most of their bags and accessories to China, Turkey, Romania and keep the high end items made in Italy. The bulk of the smaller nylon pieces are pretty much all made in China. They've also stopped using the monogrammed lining in lieu of either plain nylon or no lining at all in the nylon items.
And yes, the prices are obscene. Prada keeps cutting corners on things like the inside rectangle logo tag, among many other details. The prices are ridiculous for what's become a Walmart bag with a designer label.
There are some lines that have always been made in India because of the level of craftsmanship they offer the Madras pieces. When Prada began farming out to China, I was done with new Prada. When I buy an Italian bag, I want it made in Italy. I only buy vintage Prada pieces or the few from 8-10 years ago that were made in Italy and still had the Prada quality I first fell in love with. These days, I'm only collecting vintage LV items (before they started shipping out their work to the US).
Edit: My that was a pretty good rant for not even having had my first cup of coffee yet.

Beautiful color! Is this biliardo?
Hi All! Showing my latest Prada addition! I think this bag completes my Multi Pochette addiction
Gorgeoussssss bag! Werq
Thanks! I just uploaded photo comparisons between this Prada bag and the LV Multi Accessory Pochette. Check it out in the Bags Bags Bags forum! =)
Love it. The larger single bag looks so much better than the two LV Pochettes hooked onto each other.Hi All! Showing my latest Prada addition! I think this bag completes my Multi Pochette addiction
I agree! Looks wise, Prada did it better. I feel a LOT more comfortable wearing this bag compared to the LV MPA. Plus, the little Prada pouch actually fits my car key and CC size access card! =)
Yikes! I had no idea some pieces are not made in Italy anymore. Made me run to my latest addition to check for the "Made in...".Prada has been farming out work to China for well over 10 years now.

Thanks for the information!
Bought the gloves. Then saw the boots in the same design... Had to do it!
My photography skills are lacking so included some stock photos. Both are gorgeous in person. And excellent quality, made in Italy.
These pieces are going to be staples for years to come!
