In spite of the fact that I’m generally willing to give Miuccia Prada the benefit of the doubt on almost anything (those ill-advised, open-toe Miu Miu cowboy boots from a couple of seasons ago are a notable exception), I wasn’t really feeling most of Prada’s Fall 2014 runway bags. Most of them were decked with huge, ungainly chains and little else, and many of you were similarly unsure whether they’d translate well to retail. Good news: they have!
Pre-orders for Prada’s fall runway bags are now up at Bergdorf Goodman (as well as for a whole load of non-runway options), and the results are mostly quite good. There are far fewer chains, and the bags that have had them eliminated entirely fare the best, especially the elegant top handles. If you still want a chain in your life, there are some smaller, mostly metallic options that meet your needs, but they’re not the highlight here. Check out a selection of the bags below and shop the full selection via Bergdorf Goodman.

No, thank you!
Wayyyy overpriced for the simplistic design and materials. I’ll pass on this collection.
Yeah! I just don’t understand how this price point is justifiable. What about this purse makes it $4 grand?
Agree!
nothing impress at all …
Well maybe if they were priced in the 1500-3000k range they’d be more attractive, but at this price point… they are very underwhelming…
Yes way overpriced. In general I find Prada overpriced. I saw a gorgeous wallet that was perfectly priced but it was the only one in its color in the only store and got sold out. Instead Prada brings out such crappy bags – why not focus on the real gorgeous stuff and produce more of those? The two Prada wallets I have LOVED have never been in stock, while they have ample stock of the crappy overpriced bags. Although I did give in and bought the Double Bag, even though it is ridiculously over-priced only because my color of choice was getting sold out.
I read the comments first and thought, how overpriced can they be? But yeah – I think the flap satchels are beautiful, especially the yellow one, but I won’t be making a purchase at this price point.
I’m shocked with the price points!
Boring with a capital B
As many have mentioned before me – what’s up with the prices?! The price hike they had over summer turned me off a little but this has changed that completely. For those prices, might as well buy Celine. Def will not be purchasing.
Maybe following LV’s strategy of trying to be more exclusive?? I suspect Prada doesn’t want to be seen as the “poor cousin” of LV.
Way overpriced! Coach has better priced and similar options.
Please don’t compare coach to prada. Why not compare coach to chanel then
Not appealing at all..disappointed
start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this – 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link,

6 years ago I was able to afford a Prada bag without thinking twice about it. I love their quality and still cherish the bags I bought plus one wallet 9also excellent quality). Nowadays, with my paycheck still (almost) there, where it was 6 years ago, but bag prices increasing every year, I don’t even think about buying Prada. I guess their top-customers can keep them in business, while normal folks like me drop out of the luxury market
Whilst overseas last year I purchased a Prada Wallet at
their Space Outlet in Florence. The
wallet I purchased was Article No. 1M0506, Material VIT.DAINO 1 and the colour was Mimosa.
I started to use the wallet three months ago and during the normal course of usage the
wallet soiled so I cleaned it with a damp cloth with water, the colour
transferred to the cloth.
I contacted Prada in Melbourne and Sydney and they advised
that the wallet was dyed naturally and this happens and that when I purchased
the wallet I should have been advised and I should have been provided with a
booklet. I advised them that I was not
told that this might happen nor was I provided with a booklet.
The Prada Representative
said that I need to look after my wallet, I told them that I only use it
as a wallet and it remains in my bag.
She then told me that I should clean my wallet with a dry cloth, I
explained that if I tried to clean it with a dried cloth it would not get the
grim off.
The Prada Representative contacted the technician in Italy
who confirm that the wallet was dyed naturally and could not help any further.
I requested a refund of my money or a replacement wallet,
none has been forthcoming. I also asked
them to put something in writing to me and they have refused.
The wallet retails in their Australian store for
$720.00.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY PRADA…
