which would you choose?

I am looking at 2 bags on ovrstock.com- a red miu miu in crackle leather? and a gauffre frame bag in grey- which would you choose? ( is more wearable/classic?)

I would go with the grey gaufre. Prada gaufre bags are gorgeous!

 

[redrobin1977]

will that light of a color hold up?

 

[redrobin1977]

and is the price ok?

I would be very cautious to buy from Overstock, as there are authenticity issues.
Try Bluefly instead, they have a lot of gauffre's too! Good Luck!

I didn't know overstock has current authenticity issues?
Either way, to the OP, I'd be very careful with a light gaufre. The lambskin on this bag is prone to color transfer and scratches. I have the same exact bag but in light pink. The color was faded and it had scuff marks on the corners when I got it. The bag has stayed in pretty much the same condition because I hardly use it. Don't get me wrong, though. I love my bag, but it is delicate so it warrants a warning.
As for the price, the retail on this bag was $18xx. However, I believe it was part of the previous sales and I'm willing to bet that if it was, then it was sold for much less than $1200 overstock is asking for.
But then you have to factor in how much you really like this bag (is it something you're willing to pay $1200 for?) and how often you'll see it in the secondary market.
I prefer this bag over the Miu Miu.

yeah, i like the look too but was scared of that. If I spend that much for a handbag, I want to use it and not feel bad. Really not sure about either

 

[redrobin1977]

did not know about overstock?

Love the Prada gauffre - but I agree it's a light color and you really can't use it as an everday bag - I've seen the Prada in Black & Red that would be great for everyday.
I've ordered from Overstock and haven't had any issues.

Definitely the PRADA----no contest!

 

[nataliam1976]

Id rather get the gauffre, but if there is no other, more practical colour, go for miumiu

I haven't heard anything about Overstock either...I've bought from therefore..I like the gauffre better too but yes...be careful about color transfer..
