Love how you styled this bag! I am def getting this bag as my next luxury purchase 😁 love the gold hardware and saffiano leather!! I feel it goes from day to night so seamlessly and is so versatile ❤
Hi Torri! Congrats on the new bag!! The clochette is too cute with the re-edition print! Gold accents are the most gorgeous on black bags! TFS and keep connected soon!
I got my bag in December and worn it twice. It wasn’t until the second time wearing it I noticed the smaller chair was a different gold compared to the rest of the bag, so happy to know it is normal!
About Prada Re-Edition 2005 Re-Nylon ... I love this chic, discreet & well-designed bag. 🤩 I call her Prada Cinderella ... because - like the character in the story - she's clean, decently dressed ... but modest. In addition, her posture is not firm (as in the saffiano leather version) ... and the leather label never fits properly. I also find the wide nylon strap disproportionately wide (relative to the size of the bag) ... as well as the mini purse for coins & cards. Which is kinda extra ... as if Prada had added it to the pack - to comfort the buyer that she was paying over $ 1,000 for a nylon bag. 😃 With them all, the owner of the bag looks like a loaded mannequin ... on which several leather goods exhibits are displayed ... due to lack of space. 😃 This Prada Cinderella ... like the future queen (in the story), is hardworking & serves 3 mistresses: Prada Group, replica makers & "dupe" makers. So, she deserves an up/grade. 💗 Last summer, I started to work on an up/grade of this bag - using a replica (quite decently made). The first thing I did ... & Cinderella get ... was to add the "crystal shoes." 🤩 And, because she serves 3 masters ... I gave her 3 pairs of Swarovski crystals shoes. 💗 Then, I removed the wide shoulder strap & put a long silver chain (120 cm) ... to which I attached a device (absolute novelty) for adjusting the length. I used the same type of chain to replace the "chunky" chain used by Prada ... to "rhyme" with the one used for the shoulder port. I strengthened her posture ... so now she's straight & arched - just like the saffiano version. I repositioned the leather label (which was sitting idle). I added a triangular Prada logo on the 2nd side as well: the logo is now on the outside - whether the bag is worn with the zipper puller on the front or back. Also, I changed the inner lining (too sober). It's fuchsia now. 💗 Finally, I made a dust bag for her (has a shoulder strap ... so, it can stay in the bag when it's used & be used as a shopping bag - if needed). Now she's ready for the royal ball. 🥳 P.S.: Check my IG for photos + comparison with the original design.
Thank you! The strap does adjust. I'd say it drops down an extra 5 inches when the strap is fully extended. I don't know of any longer straps that can be purchased for it though
I feel you! I contemplated it for a while and definitely had to save up for this one. I ultimately decided on it because of the gold and less people go for this vs the nylon
