are you repairing it through prada directly? how long do they take? any issues or hassles or is it an easy process?

thanks!

I purchased via Neiman's and they are coordinating the repairs. I vaguely remember phoning Prada some time ago, and I think their repair process is a bit lengthier.

I would say call each of them and weigh your options.

Mundo, here are some before and after photos.

They cleaned and re-dyed the bag. And then re-sealed all the seams. I am very happy with the results, but I will probably not buy another Prada. Nonetheless, I have accepted that I will probably have to perform this maintenance every so often.

How much did you have to pay to get them resealed? I've had mine for about a year. Though I just have used it a total of about 3-4 months. No issues yet buy just wondering since I bought mine at neimans also.

I think it depends on the vendor used. I didn't have to pay but I did ask the cost. It was $175 for all services I received.

HI LADIES!!! Just wanna ask if prada calfskin leather is durable? :( feeling so paranoid after knowing that the saffiano polished leather is more durable instead. May i know does the skin torn off easily? ):

I have no advice on how to clean this purse! I have been wearing my caramel colored Lux for 1.5 years. Recently took it into Neiman Marcus for servicing as I am having issues with the seam seals peeling and involuntary thread pulls. They will also have the servicer clean and re-dye the Lux as well which I think will help the faded spots where some of the color has rubbed off. All of this is being done by an authorized Prada repairman.

You ladies may be interested in finding one locally!

Whoa! I'm not sure if Australia has such servicer?! It sounds nice to have such a service and not worrying so much about the cleaning? :o

Update: Worn the bag a few times and the seams on the handles are starting to crack and peel already.

I am ready to rid of this purse! This is madness. Heading to Niemans later this week or next to discuss next steps. No more Prada for me!

Wow, that is so disappointing. I haven't experienced this but I have only had mine for 3 months. This makes me question keeping mine. I am going through the same issue with my ysl chyc cabas :(

I hope you don't have the same issue as me. I am officially crossing Prada and NM off my luxe lists
