It’s almost unfair to sit here in the doldrums of November and be forced to look at Prada Resort 2011 handbags, and days like today make it all the more clear that fashion’s season cycle is set up to make consumers (and bloggers) continually want what we can’t quite have or use. Even if Prada’s python- and crocodile-accented linen bags were available today, I wouldn’t have anything to do with them. They’d just sit next to me on the couch while I complain about the weather on Twitter. Under lots of blankets, of course.
But one day, the sun shall shine again and I shall leave the house without a coat, I know it, and for those days, one of these little bags would be a fun thing to have. I don’t think I could ever justify spending Prada amounts of money on linen or straw, but if money were no object, I’d love to have all three of these bags for the imaginary midwinter cruise that I’m going to be taking in my head. Wait, never mind, not an imaginary cruise. I don’t want to get stuck at sea and have to eat my imaginary Prada bag to stay alive. It’ll be an imaginary flight to the Bahamas instead.

I lvoe these bags…Miuccia ever surprised me. My favourite is the last one and I believe that the first one is just right for the beach, not anything more!

by the time summer gets here and these will be appropiate for wearing, I`ll get my hands on one, but who knows how many other gorgeous purses will be on the waiting list… 🙂
These are way overprised. They’re nice, but not worth anything near that price mark IMO.
Cute! Especially the one with the blue accents. Agree with Graciella that the price might be an issue.
“..and i shall leave the house without a coat..” – your writing makes me thankful for the amount of sun i perpetually get from where i live 🙂
Ehh…don’t really like these. All these good elements are mixed together to create something that does not quite work.

I only really like the green one. I agree they’re overpriced, I’ve gotten nicer bags from there for much much cheaper. They’re not even all leather! I think they would be good for summer events though.

Sometimes I feel that resort wear means eccentric grannies on vacation somewhere hot (ipad)

NOT REALLY INTO STRAW BAGS (ipad)
WONDER WHAT WILL BE NEXT FOR PRADA (ipad)
Not that interested in these… (ipad)
I saw a Prada handbag in the Nordstrom catalog in December. It was a Prada calfskin denim handbag, and it was sold out everywhere. I got put on a waiting list, but does anyone know how I could find one.
It is actually called the Vitello Shine flap shoulder bag with Vachetta lock, calfskin in color avio, which is denim blue!!
If only I had a resort to take these with me. (ipad)
Well, have seen similar design bags when I was in Thailand in 2009.
So for me, it’s not new and really over price!!
