Anyone who would pay that much $$$ for a handbag deserves what they get. As H.L. Mencken said, “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public”.

I have (2) of the bags and I absolutely LOVE them!!! I haven’t had any problems with mine what-so-ever and I am rather rough on them. They are both show stoppers and I always get compliments on them.

Is this why so many people have this bag discounted? To get rid of them?

Cory: Finally, a comment from someone who actually OWNS the bag and not someone wishing for it. I have been dying to hear a review from an actual bag holder: I’m getting my bag on monday and I’m a bit skeptical after reading your review I’m getting nervous b/c they won’t let me return it after 10 days and the sales girl assured me the bleeding problem was corrected. Is it that bad when it’s wet? I’m certainly not planning on wearing it in the rain but i’m human and anything can happen. What exactly happen to your bag?

excuse me that is a total load of rubbish. no prada bag is made in china- maybe you should do some proper research before putting out false information. in fact prada is made in italy.
the only prada that is made in china is the fakes!!!

Some of this years Prada collection should be limited edition. How many of these Fairy bags are they making? My Gucci bomber jacket from the 2007 Runway collection was one of eight only. This bag should have been likewise.

To Cory,

I’m planning to get my fairy tomorrow and I also reside in Singapore, is it really bad when it caught the rain?
Seeing that you got yours a month ago, do you think this month’s batch is any better?

cheapest labour does not mean they are not human with carefulness!!! The labour is cheap because of economic reasons and exchange rate difference! Please respect those people who are doing their jobs just like you!!

Hey you guys,pls be careful when saying “made in china” with a meaning of “poor quality”. These bags have quality problems because they do not use proper production procedure, not because they are made in china!! Respect is important, especially when you are eating, drinking, wearing, using many many things made in china! Chinese are doing their jobs, just like you!

it’s true. my fairy bag bled after i was caught in the rain. i brought it back to prada singapore (that’s where i am) and they took it back to verify with prada milan if it could be salvaged.

today i called them and they told me to come get a 1-for-1 exchange. it seems my bag was the first batch and they all bleed when in contact with water (!!!!). but it also seems i’m the only customer to complain. they also told me that the second batch is more sturdy.

i’m not sure if i want to get another fairy bag. think i’ll go down to prada and check out what they have….

and it was my v day present this yr!!!

ihave3birkins – when you pay so much for a bag you don’t expect it to be THAT high maintenance!!!
if the clasps are made of good quality stainless steel no way it would rust after a month. :p
Just cos it’s designer doesn’t mean we should make excuses for obvious defects – the contrary really, because it’s designer we shd expect much more quality and not bleeding fabric!
horrific.

That’s terrible! I used to have a grey Prada shoulder bag that my aunt got me, and to my horror after about a month or so the metal on the clasps started to rust and the fabric suffered from weird bleeding green stains. I would assume this was due to the humidity of the weather in Malaysia. I got this bag about… 10 years ago, and I’m surprised to find out that Prada still faces these kind of problems with their latest products. I would take a picture to show you, but I gave away the bag months ago.

Yes, it is true! Most designer brand garments are made in China … or Mauritius or elsewhere. This includes the bags, shoes, etc.

Now if you want a true one-of-a-kind work of art of the finest quality, commission it yourself from a small scale artisan who WILL lovingly handcraft each piece unique to the client’s wishes using the finest quality materials. That is the true meaning of “designer couture”: Custom made to your measurements, your taste, your needs.

So-called “designer labels” are just a marketing ploy to justify paying $3K for a $200 handbag.

If we create a market for artisanry, it will survive. If we don’t it won’t. There are only a few true artisans left. After that, everything will be made in the country with the cheapest labor.

Ah don’t think that’s true, they are still selling the bags.

Oh, wow. That’s horrible. Yeah, the bag is hand-painted but Prada should have done better job in coating the surface at the first place. I don’t think the Fairy bags come cheap either. Pheeew, Thank GOD I’m not into Prada bags .

Three Prada stores told me that any bag that is defective can be returned for a full cash refund. Only a handful of bags may run, but still don’t wear your bag in the rain. It is hand painted! If your bag is showing signs of the coated surface flaking off then it may be one of the bags affected and you may get a refund or a new bag. With a 100% guarantee, what is the concern?

Also, wait lists are still over full. It seems only 2 or three bags were known to have been returned in the whole country.
