When you see a petite quilted flap bag with a chain strap that is intertwined with the same material as the bag itself, it’s difficult not to think only of Chanel. The Prada Printed Chain Shoulder Bag didn’t immediately cause that association in my head, though. Rather, my first thought was, “Ooh, nice print.”
Whether or not you like this bag probably hinges largely on whether or not you like Prada’s famous patterns, which are always sharp and interesting, as opposed to girly or traditionally pretty. I love them, no matter how difficult they may make it to fit a bag like this into a wardrobe. During warmer months, I think I could make it happen, though.
Pattern appreciation varies quite widely based on personal taste, so it’s just as likely that you’ll disagree with me on the relative merits of what we see above. And that’s fine, because the more people don’t like it, the larger the chance that it will go on sale eventually, and I need it to go on sale so that I can buy it. Enjoy this bag as I might, I’m not paying almost a thousand dollars for something that isn’t leather, no matter how much it might spruce up my spring whites. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $980.
I love the clasp and the chain and the idea of this bag, but almost $1k?! Wow. (iPad)
Very beach appropriate. I can totally imagine a white summer dress with this bag….pretty! (iPad)
I love the print but the pushlock looks kind of cheap, imo. (ipad)
I lvoe the print but I agree with “kmroboto”: the bag (maybe for the shape) looks really cheap. I would liek thta Miuccia uses this print for some bags more “sofisticated”….

This print is so cute for spring (ipad)
Gotta have this one! Prada definitely made a winner 🙂 (iPad)
I agree with the feeling that the print is nice but the pushlock looks cheap. (ipad)
not feeling the print (ipad)
Loving the print and design, not so much the price/value (ipad)
This would be 2 cute for the summer… (ipad)
Not really a fan. 🙁 (ipad)
not loving it (ipad)
i actually love this print also and would see it as a great addition to spring/summer!
To be honest, it looks like a mish mash of different bags.
The pushlock closure is reminiscent of Marc Jacobs and Coach.
The shape and chain strap reminds me of Chanel.
Not feeling the handbag period. And that’s an astronomical amount of money for a nonleather handbag.
(iPad)
i wish there was a different print (ipad)
while the bag is cute, it’s far from original. The pattern and colors remind me of Pucci (that’s the designer that first came to mind when I saw it) and the pushlock looks like a cheap, imitation of a MJ pushlock. I like the idea of the woven chain strap, but wouldn’t pay $1k for it. (ipad)
Too wild of a print for me, but it could liven up a solid black dress. Still a fan of Prada.
Oops. Forgot (ipad)
it’s cute and fresh… perfect for spring! (ipad)
A bit too busy. (ipad)
very chanel-ish but print is cool..(ipad)
I’m not sure what it would go with…but it is cute! (ipad)
I don’t like the print or the design of the bag… Hate hate hate that clasp. (ipad)
Not for me. The pattern might work on something else, but I don’t like it for a bag. (ipad)
It looks like something you could get at Wal-Mart. (ipad)
Too little for too much money(ipad)
Gorgeous 😀 (iPad)
I think it’s adorable. It’d be so easy to throw it on in the summer months or in the winter to brighten your day. (ipad)
whaaaatttt??
this, is prada? (ipad)
it looks more chanel-ish to me.. (ipad)
It looks perfect for summer and the beach. Well, other than the pricetag. (ipad)
The print screams “Groovy”…that era is over. Nope! Next!!1! (ipad)
funky print (ipad)
very diff for Prada (ipad)
I agree, $1000+ is too much for non-leather (ipad)
Even though it’s expensive, I still want it! Love prada (ipad)
The pattern is surprisingly attractive to me..but I definitely agree that 1000$ is too much for non-leather…(ipad)
Very cute! But, I agree the price is a little too high for something that isn’t leather… (ipad)
It’s cute, but it doesn’t look like a Prada, and it doesn’t look like a $1000 bag. (ipad)
dont like the print, looks funny (ipad)
looks like a bag that you would take to hawaii and stayed in hawaii (ipad)
On the fence about this one… (iPad)
I really like this pattern and I’m not usually a big fan of white, so that says quite a lot!
I love the print (iPad)
Looks like a great bag for Summer. Love the colors! (ipad)
This is definitely a summer purse. Its not bad but for the material and one maybe two season use limitations it is also overpriced. (ipad)
The pattern actually appeals to me! (ipad)
prada is a pain in my wallet (ipad)
I thought it would be cheaper (ipad)
nice but I would rather go for another Prada item (ipad)
Why does this reminds me of Chanel? (ipad)
I so agree with @Justine reminds me of Chanel also..and it looks lame (iPad)
I don’t like the Chanel look either (it is just too similar), but I do love Prada prints
wohooo shoot..
that is spectacularly gorgeous!! anglina jolis bag i love it must see how beauty full collection leather bags
That is So cute! (ipad)
I don’t like that handbag. If I want a handbag like that I can go to the mall and pick on up for $20.00. (ipad)
personally i “see” Chanel right away. The print is pretty, but I don’t like the bag. I’m helping you find it on sale, lol! (ipad)
cute, but I its too Vera Bradley-esque for me
Cute colors, but not a bag I’d want in my collection. (ipad)
Why does this reminds me of Chanel? (ipad)
@Jennifer: My first thought was Vera Bradley too. This bag is just meh. (iPad)
I agree with a previous commenter that it looks like Vera Bradley too much. It looks very inexpensive to me from this picture. (ipad)
ok, I am actually liking this bag. it’s interesting to look at and I like the silver hardware it has going on. Amanda, you called it, alot of people don’t like it so hopefully it will go on sale soon and it can be ours. 🙂
Interesting… (ipad).
If I lived in Florida or Hawaii…. (ipad)
Very pretty, though it reminds me of Chinese lacquered trinkets, in a not too good way (ipad)
If you look from it far away, it kinda looks like the water color Chanels (ipad)
not loving this bag…a bit too busy for me (ipad)
I like the bag and the print, but don’t care for the chain. (ipad)
Yes, please. 🙂 (ipad)
Love this one. ( ipad )
Whoa – that is a lot for something that’s not leather. (ipad)
Love how bold the print is (ipad)
I wouldn’t pay that much for non leather either. (ipad)
Not really a fan of that pattern for a handbag. (ipad)
Very fun bag! (ipad)
What is Prada thinking? This one will be seasoned and hit the sale table quickly.

ewww…pass(ipad)
I like this bag. It’s happy and cheerful. Not too many colors. Just enough. (ipad)
this is the most unprada bad ive seen.. haha not my thing. dont think id wear it if it was free! (ipad)
looks cheap. and kinda tacky
I like the shape, but not the pattern. (Ipad)
Attending Sabo Thomas making classes will surely allow you to learn how to make your personal jewellery. Nonetheless, if you are like attending classes on jewellery making could be more of a hindrance for you than an edge; you shouldn’t hesitate to review on your own.When you will decide to look at up Thoma Sabo Charms jewellery producing as a significant hobby, with all the goal of making money from the jawhorse, one of many questions that would probably pop Thomas Sabo Charm in your head is actually you ought to require a class on jewellery making.
its kinda cute (ipad)
I don’t like it very much. (ipad)
I actually really like this bag. Not sure i’d spend a thousand dollars for it, but it would be a fun wardrobe addition. (ipad)
not really feeling all the graphic on this item. (ipad)
Love the style but it’s too busy – ipad
it look likes its for an old lady
Like the print. Agreed, it looks a bit like chanel but the print is fun. I can see it look spectacular with a simple black dress (ipad)
It’s just ugly. (ipad)
