I have always been a prada bag person but it is so hard to get the original unless I leave the country,why dont they have an outlet in different regions in Africa….I guess they think they dont have a market here…HOW WRONG.

I realize that I am posting months and months after the last posting, however I am wondering if any of the Prada Fairy owners have been carrying their bags for a couple months now without issues? Just wanted to get some updates on how the Fairy Bags are holding up?

Thanks so much!

I live in North West England, where it rains ALL the time. I have had my Prada Fairy bag for about 6 weeks now, use it on weekends because my job is very dirty and I would NEVER take it to work, and I have never had any problems with bleeding or anything like that! I adore my bag and it’s my first designer purse (‘I’m ususaly a shoe girl)! I recommend this to anyone!!!

Can anyone tell me how much the prada fairy clutch retailed for? the oversized one, not the little one?

just scanning through the posts to keep myself out of trouble as i await my first ever Prada bag. i had coveted many styles, but the fairy pushed me over the edge. i plotted and planned until i got one from ebay. i don’t even care about the bleeding or the cost. i live in a place sans Prada and will have to rely on online authentication. i’ve been reading enough here and elsewhere that i feel comfortable enough believing my own eyes when i see the bag. as for the bleeding problem, all of the posts are very helpful. i especially like the idea of getting the bag treated to prevent running. i don’t imagine i would carry such a bag in the rain even if it didn’t run! however, it is a tad disconcerting to hear of bleeding *without* rain! from the timing of all of this i think the bag i’m getting might be second generation. sorry to ramble. i’m just so excited. i’ve only wanted two – okay now three – major designer bags in my life. the fairy will be two down with one to go…tell me blog members – is this a sickness? oh well, i guess it could be worse. could be drugs…i’ll be sure to report in when i get my bag!

I’ve been carrying the Prada Fairy Bag everyday for about a week now (admittedly I don’t own it, I borrowed off lovemeandleaveme.com), but I haven’t had any problems with it. I think this one is from the second batch of deliveries. It’s absolutely STUNNING though, I get compliments all the time, just wish i could afford to buy it.

I am writing to ask Markella (who posted her comments on 3/17) for updated information. I have bought one recently. It is really a stunning piece of art. However, after the purchase, and read through all the information from this blog, I am worrying if the pricey bag’s good looking can last long. Still strugging if I shall make the exchange within the next few days. I suppose Markelle has been using the 2nd batch product which is an improved version. I wonder if Markella could kindly let me know if her bag is still in good (bleeding free) condition since her comments on 3/17. Many thanks.

Hi Kirsty
I’m a Melbourne girl too and I am wanting to buy the Fairy clutch. Have you been happy with it? Have you experienced any of the bleeding problems that people have spoken about? I am a mum of two little ones so the occasional spill etc is a fact of life at my house and I’d hate to accidentally ruin my new clutch. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi, all. I have the Fairy bag and, yes, mine has bled a little bit but I don’t really feel like it mars the bag. Honestly, before I read all of this stuff I just thought that the illustration must have been like that. It’s got such a pattern that the blue could easily be a part of it, and be meant to be that way.

To me, it’s a badge of merit. At least it shows it’s real…like wearing linen and getting wrinkled.

I have the Prada Fairy bag and I just adore it! I would never consider carrying a deer skin bag in the rain anyway, so I do not think their advice about the leather being extra delicate is upsetting. I was sad to hear about the bleeding issues as I think this bag is stunning, but I went ahead and purchased one anyway as I just love it so much and I am just planning on being careful with it. I also have a Louis Vuitton Stratus PM and a Motard Biker, both of which are also delicate leathers so I am planning on treating the Prada Fairy the same way. For those considering this bag, it is truly amazing in person!
