Has anyone noticed denting on their BN2274? Is there any way to repair/avoid this from getting worse? I lost my original dust bag but I keep mine in a very nice pillow case (sounds crazy but it's the best I could think of) and I always make sure to lay it flat in my closet when I'm not using it but somehow it's developed dents and creases in the leather. When I first bought it, it was so structured and now it looks sad. It's Argilla and so of course there's color transfer on the handles because I only wear black but that doesn't even bother me as much as the denting.

I bought mine about 6 months ago but in that time have used it maybe about 6 times. I noticed when I took it out the other week that the leather on the front looked 'wavy'. I asked others on here how they store their bags and it seems to have made a difference. I used to store it up right but I took it out and had it flat on its back for about 3 days straight. Since then I've also used it once and the 'waves' seems to have gotten better. Mine is in cammeo. Not sure if this helps since you already store it flat but I thought I would contribute!

Thanks for the tip. My BF got me a Celine for Christmas so I'm going to let the Prada rest for a week or two and see how she's feeling then :D

Also posted on main page, but did not get any replies...

I received a beautiful daino pocket hobo for Xmas, but the shoulder strap is too long for me...drop of about 9 inches and is non adjustable-- just one long piece of leather with gold clasps at both ends to attach to bag. Does Prada sell shorter or adjustable straps? Or can a cobbler cut the leather to shorten it? The bag was bought from Saks, so if anyone has a good SA there (or Prada boutiques> who might be able to help, that would be great.

Does anyone have tips on dealing with some major scuffs on Prada nylon? I know it can't be repaired or restored really, but is there anything I can do to it so the scuffs are less noticeable? I'm talking about scuffs that are now pretty much light grey on black nylon. Thanks!

My cream/powder foundation spilled all the inside of my saffiano double zip, and i am way too scared to clean it, the material and lining inside seems too fragile? any suggestions

Just found a small yellow mark near the bottom of my saffiano bag. Argh anyone know what I can do to fix this? I tried the moisturizer thing but it didn't work, going to try a leather cleaner when I get home tonight :(

I am thinking about getting a saffiano leather bag. The leather seems so tough and impervious!! Is dye transfer from clothing still a big concern with saffiano leather? What about cleaning and upkeep?

Just sharing on how I clean my Prada BN2106 Tessuto Saffiano in Rosso.

I recently noticed that the corners of my bag became dark because of everyday use.

I mix 2 drops of baby shampoo with 15ml of water. Dip a cotton ball then gently scrub or spot clean your bag. After cleaning, dip a clean cotton ball with plain water to rinse the water-shampoo mixture from your bag. Hang your bag to air dry.

Simple, right :)
