So, I’ve been on a mission to get my hands on a top Prada bag, you know, the real deal, not some cheap knock-off.

I started my hunt by hitting up the local mall, checking out the high-end stores. I figured, might as well see them in person first, right?
Stores that I visited
- First, I walked into the Prada store. I saw a bunch of the classic Galleria bags, which are pretty nice. I learned that they are made of that Saffiano leather that’s supposed to be super durable.
- Then, I visited a few other stores that sell designer bags, hoping to compare and maybe find a deal. I noticed some Re-Edition 2005 Nylon Mini Bags, which looked stylish and trendy.
After not finding exactly what I wanted in the stores, I decided to browse online. I spent hours scrolling through different websites, reading reviews, and comparing prices. I even checked out some resale sites, thinking maybe I could snag a deal on a pre-owned one.
I found out that the most expensive Prada bag is the Brandy Top Handle V2, going for over ten grand! Definitely out of my budget, but hey, a girl can dream, right?
After all that searching, I finally settled on a Prada Buckle Flap Nylon Backpack. It’s got that classic Prada look, and it’s practical enough for everyday use. I ordered it online and waited impatiently for it to arrive.
When it finally showed up, I ripped open the box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, my very own top Prada bag! It was even better in person than in the pictures. I’ve been using it ever since, and it’s held up great. I know it’s a real bag from prada. It’s totally worth the splurge!

And for if it hold its value, I think so.
