Prada Handbags

The last few seasons Prada bags have not been hit bags in my opinion. The fall 2006 Prada bags are completely hot and flying off the shelves. Since my birthday just passed, I may very well need to take myself birthday shopping. The Prada Napa Gauffre Antic Satchel combines a removable shoulder strap with double top handles with rings and a signature black pleated Napa leather. The pleated leather is beautiful on this bag. The hardware is silver metal and the measurements are 10″H x 17 1/5″W x 6 2/5″D. Simply divine! Buy it through Saks 5th Ave for $2450.

While most of us continue to sweat in this summer heat, the fashion world is releasing their fall bags already. What can I say other than I’m looking forward to the leaves changing colors and a bit of a breeze. First, we will dive into the Prada Fall Handbags.

First take a gander at the Prada Shearling Tote w/Fox Trim. I know the animal lovers out there will not be head-over-heels for this bag, but for Fall it is casual cute. This cinnamon brown shearling tote is meticulously adorned with decorative appliqués and trimmed with white fox trim. Sizing up at 12½”H X 15¾”L X 4¼”W the tote is finished off with double handles and adjustable tabs cover top on the sides. Available to be pre-ordered for a hefty $2375 via Saks.

Next we have the subtly chic Prada Cervo Antic Satchel. This satchel is designed from supple brown deerskin which is antique finished along with goldtone buckle detail on the handles. There is also a goldtone signature logo on the front, a detachable Prada ID tag, and a detachable shoulder strap. This strap will come in handy for the days that you need some relief from carrying the handbag with your actual hands. Measuring 9¾”H X 17″L X 5″W, this bag is also available for pre-order through Saks for $2450.

Rounding out the bunch, although there are many more, is the Prada Cheetah Print Hobo. This hobo lets us know that animal print is not out, quite the contrary, it is being seen all over the place for fall. This hobo features a cheetah print on calf hair and shows off a buckle detailed shoulder strap along with extended side tabs. There is a detachable ID tag and this wild hobo closes with a magnetic snap closure. Measuring 11¾”H X 15″L X 4¼”W, can you dig it? Buy it through Saks for $1850.

So many of us ladies adore David Beckham and secretly have a crush on his wife (I know I do). Anyone else notice how Victoria’s style is always amazing and she always looks like she has the hottest outfit on? I would be lucky to wear an outfit that is that stylish and hot one day out of the year. Her style does not just end with clothes, but her bag collection is to die for. So before all of us ‘peons’ find out about new and hip bags, people like VB carry them, or better yet, David Beckham carries them Thanks to Lv_Addict on the forum for finding this hot new over-sized Prada Handbag and finding the man of the hour sporting it. I must admit; David, you do look good with your Prada man bag.

So let’s see, after red, comes white, so after white must come BLUE! Blue has always been one of my favorite colors. I always loved that my eyes were blue growing up and I actually think that is why blue became my favorite color. Ha. We haven’t seen much Prada around here in a while. Although their nylon line is simple, I still do like it. The Prada Nylon/Leather Buckle Tote is a smaller tote size (4″H x 11″L). The body of the bag is blue nylon and trimmed in leather. On either side of the bag there are pockets, which give a fun feel to the tote along with the buckle detailing. Opening up the zip top you will find a large central compartment. This is not a haul everything everywhere bag, but it will do the job and be easy to clean. Buy it through Saks for $815.

Hilarious what stuff you can stumble upon when you’re up late browsing the web. May I present:

The world’s coolest Prada bag you’ll ever see:

Props to the Ice Chef and his amazing ice sculptures and carvings.

Kate Winslet was seen with a hip bag resting on her hip, a simple Prada Nylon Bag. Many handbag enthusiasts are not totally enthused by Prada Nylon Bags, yet Kate shows us all that they are still hip and durable. These bags may be completely simple, but they are totally durable and easy to clean. While I can say that the bag is simple and easy to throw on, Kate’s clothing choice is a bit shoddy. Oh well, not like I am always looking chic; but she could have forced a smile on that beautiful face eh?! What are your thoughts?

I’ve been getting some requests lately to talk more about Prada. I would love to if Prada only make more bags and had a website that was a little more helpful than a simple bump on a log. Until then, I will stay on the hunt for more Prada bags and will let you all know when I find them. Right now let’s take a look at center stage. The Prada Jute/Snakeskin Hobo is here in time for summer. There is a bit of glitz with the gold snakeskin on the top and bottom sides but the bag is toned down perfectly with the woven jute body and tan leather trim. Oh the strap you will find buckle details. Prada finishes this bag off with its logo on a wooden plate smack dab in the middle of the front of the bag. Overall the hobo measures 11¾”H X 15″L X 4¼”W and is readily available through Saks for $1490.

When I see a bag with straw, it shouts out sunshine and pina coladas. Right now the warm spring and even warmer summer is just upon the horizon and it is all I want to be thinking about. To get me in a sunshine state of mind is the Prada Straw and Leather Frame Bag. This frame shaped bag shows off a woven straw body and is accented with white leather trim. I love the frame shape of the bag along with the buckle details on the straps and logo plate on the front. Closing up there is a double zip closure. Overall the bag measures 8½”H X 13″L X 4″W. Can’t you see it paired with a perfectly cute flowered summer dress and a rockin’ pair of shades?? Yay for summer. Go on and buy yourself a little piece of summer love for $1160 via Saks.

I realized today that when I am sick looking at bags actually makes me feel better. Odd, I know, but the truth nonetheless. I have been stuck in bed all day sick and browsed bags and other things on my ‘want’ list that I can not afford. I ran into a Prada bag that I have never seen before, and was strangely drawn to it. The Prada “Paglia Skipper” Shoulder Bag mixes an interesting combo of green woven straw for the exterior along with snakeskin accents. Perfect for a night on the town, this bag includes a snap closure, inside zip pocket, link chain strap, silver metal hardware accents, and is lined in pink leather. The bag seems so simple to me, yet so elegant at the same time. Measuring up at 12” wide x 6” tall x 1” deep at base, this bag is available through Smart Bargains for $899.99.

Long necks are sexy. Hence the sexiest neck animal is the giraffe. Because of their uniqueness, giraffes always intrigued me. Prada knows how cool giraffes look, so Prada has jumped on the animal train and designed the Prada Giraffe Pony Hair Medium Tote. The giraffe brown and tan pattern is made on pony hair with the infamous Prada insignia on the front of the tote. Chic enough for everyday use, the tote has a zip top closure and is accented with gold-toned hardware including the d-rings at the sides and the buckles that are with the double handle straps. The bag also shows off calfskin and logo jacquard lining with zip pockets on the inside. Our long neck friends Prada bag measures approximately 14” wide x 11 ½” tall x 5” base depth and can be purchased through Bluefly for $1112.
