Okay, so, here’s the deal with that Prada bag, the Small Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag. I’ve been eyeing it for a while, you know, just window shopping, not really planning on buying it. It’s a pretty penny, as they say. But the official flagship store had a remake version, and I thought, “Why not take a closer look?”
First off, I hit up the official store. It’s all fancy and whatnot, makes you feel like you need to dress up just to walk in. I spotted the bag right away. It’s smaller than I thought, kinda cute, actually. They call it the “Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Special Edition Bag,” which is a mouthful, but it’s basically a smaller version of their classic Galleria bag.
Now, this Saffiano leather, they make a big deal about it. I inspected it real close, and yeah, it’s leather alright. Supposedly, it’s treated and embossed, which is different from full-grain. But honestly, it just felt like good quality leather to me. Not a leather expert, though.
- The sales guy, he was all helpful and stuff, showed me the different colors.
- They had the classic black, a navy blue, and a few other colors I can’t remember.
- I tried on the black one. It looked pretty sharp, I gotta say.
They’ve got all kinds of these Prada bags there, by the way. Big ones, small ones, like this Galleria, some shaped like buckets. You name it, they got it. This one, though, it’s supposed to be special. A remake, they said. Like a new version of the old one, but keeping it classic.
Trying It Out
I carried it around the store for a bit, pretending I owned it. It felt good, I’ll give it that. Lightweight, even with my phone and wallet inside. It has those little compartments inside, which is handy. You could fit your essentials in there, no problem. I even tested the zippers a few times. Smooth. No snagging.
The Price Tag
Then came the moment of truth. I flipped over the price tag. Ouch. Yeah, it’s a Prada, so you expect it to be expensive. But still, it’s a lot for a small bag. I started thinking about my old bag at home. It does the job, holds my stuff. Is this Prada one really worth it?
The Verdict
In the end, I didn’t buy it. I walked out of the store empty-handed. Not because it wasn’t a nice bag. It is. It’s beautiful, well-made, and I can see why people love it. But for me, at that price, I just couldn’t justify it. Maybe if I win the lottery. I heard that Prada bags don’t really hold their value, but they are well-made. So, there’s that.
So that’s my story about the remake Prada Galleria bag. A nice little adventure to the store, a bit of daydreaming, but ultimately, a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are the ones you don’t buy. Or something like that.
