Steve Madden has a good looking dupe for $79! I stumbled upon it on the website yesterday and planning on ordering to see how I like the style before going for the Prada. The Steve Madden dupe also has different colors!
OMG GIRL YESSSSSSSSS. OMG OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU. It’s legit going to be your new GO TO. Especially with just the chain!! Ahhhhh I’m so glad you got it!! ♥️♥️✨✨✨✨
I am loving this bag more and more. I’m on fence too for a nylon bag but all reviews including yours all shows happiness. Lol Now i’m debating on the black or beige KEEP! Looks good on you
I was the exact same! But I’m totally in love with how easy it is to wear and style. I’m glad I bit the bullet. I think if the price were to go up any more, it wouldn’t be worth it but as of right now.. it’s palatable.. expensive but can be justified 😆 I think the beige is gorgeous! But I know I’d get a lot more wear out of the black ☺️ thank you!! 😘❤️
Oh yay twinning!! 🤗 it’s so cute right?! I think I’ve decided to keep it - I can see myself wearing it so many different ways and getting my cost per wear down 😆
Hi Natalie! I don't wear luxury bags, just more affordable bags like Guess, Calvin Klein, etc. And i think you could return the bag and buy the similar leather one. Because of my budget i'll go for the Steve Madden one, but, i think you have the enough budget or save for buying those you luxury items you really love so i think you should keep it 🙂
Aww thank you for your sweet suggestion! 💕 I have a huge soft spot for luxury handbags so I’ve saved in a lot of other areas and I decided to keep it now. I’ve been using it every time I go out so I know I will get my cost per wear down on it ☺️ thank you so much for watching and commenting 😘❤️
You should totally keep it. If you’ve been wanting it for awhile, have the $$ for it, and think you’ll get a lot of use out of it, then definitely keep!
I think you should check out LV Boulonge. The ascetic is similar to Prada, but it can dress up and down better than the re-edition. And it fits a full size bottle water (fits more than pochette Métis).
Oh it does have a very similar silhouette to the Prada! I do love monogram, but I’m not a huge fan of the look of the leather corners (I’m very particular 🤣), and also the one thing I love about the Prada is the thick cotton strap. But I can definitely see the similarities between the two bags!
Hello! Thank you for such a thorough video. I’m considering buying this bag but I’ve been hearing things about the leather piping/trim wearing down or getting tacky. Are you experiencing this issue? And aside from that, are you still enjoying this bag as much as you did when you first got it? Thank youuu!
Hey there! 🤗 I haven’t had any issues with the piping, but I have only had it for less than a year. I don’t imagine the wear would be that bad if you take care of the bag. I still use mine so much! It’s a great, carefree bag that goes with pretty much 90% of my wardrobe 😆 I love how versatile it is and how it can be worn casually and also slightly more dressy/cute as a shoulder bag with the chain ☺️ I did a separate video on my channel shortly after this video showcasing all the different ways you can wear/style it 😍
I am considering this bag too so thanks for sharing! Keep it! And LV online in the USA doesn’t come with a shopping bag 🙄. ETA would love a comparison with the Pochette accessories, that would be very helpful. Also does it fit a mini pochette?
Thank you! I’d love to do a comparison between the two ☺️ I just tried putting the mini pochette into the bag and it fits with ease! And still with a lot of room to fit my phone, card holder and coin purse 😍
Is the Prada bigger than the Pochette accessories? I’m looking for a multifunctional catch-all to put inside my work bag. The PA is a good size but maybe I like the practicality of the re-edition (nylon, multi-straps). A comparison would be great!
They’re very comparable in size! The Prada seems to be slightly bigger in depth so I think it would hold more. But I would be happy to do a comparison between the two! ☺️
The chain doesn’t as the clasps are really small. But the clasps on the fabric strap should have Prada engraved on them. I purchased mine straight from the boutique so I that’s how it should be!
Oh no! 🙁 maybe they only provide an electronic invoice because it was purchased online? I’ve heard others who didn’t receive a box either 😩 you can always go in store or call the customer service line to ask for a box and receipt!
Oh the alabaster pink is gorgeous! But it depends on what you wear and your style. I think the black would go with everything, but the pink would be a statement in itself and go well with your outfits if you wear a lot of light coloured clothing ☺️
It looks great on you! But I couldn't justify the price for a nylon bag. I will probably put the money into the empreinte multi pochette which can be worn causually and formally
Oh the empreinte multi pochette is so pretty!! But I’m not a fan of the strap - how you can only wear it two ways 😕 but the braided chain strap is gorgeous!! 🤩 and it’s also much better value than the canvas multi pochette!
Hi I had this bag paid 1150 U.K. sold it 3 weeks later. I didn’t think it was worth the money but as I got in store couldn’t get money back sold for 700 so doesn’t hold value I have to be on the don’t keep side 😬 it looks so cute tho I fell for that good luck with what ever you decide x
Thank you so much for sharing! Yeah unfortunately Prada does not hold its resale value 🙁 I have decided to keep it with the intention of using it and getting my cost per wear on it, and never reselling it. I have already worn it a couple of times and feel like I have made the right decision.. but only time will tell 😅
Congrats - beautiful!! I’ve ordered many LV items in the last 6 months online and I have not received a single shopping bag. They were all perfectly wrapped in a box with a bow. I’m in Canada.
Aw that’s so annoying! 🙁 I wish they would be consistent with their packaging. I’ve heard others in the US don’t get any ribbon or sometimes the box comes crumpled 😣
@@helloxluxury hi. I got the mini today. Basically the same but without the strap and pouch. I found when the zip is undone it looked extremely wavy. I live about 20 mins by train outside of London so I went too the prada store and they showed me 3 others. All slightly wavy when un-zipped but no where near as bad as the one I returned. Do you think it’s because of the shape of the zipper that when undone, it looks like that. All videos I’ve watched don’t look like it. But that man who served me said he assumed that’s what it was.
@catherinescanlon1465 hmm it may be because the zipper is too long or it wasn’t sewn to the exact measurements and so it’s slightly bending/wavy when it’s open. If you’re unhappy with it, can you return or exchange for another? It’s an investment and a bag you'll use a lot - you don't want to regret it!
@@helloxluxury I looks like yours did it slightly in the video. I made the journey and they had 4 others. All doing the same. But not as bad as the one I returned. So the man assumed that’s one it must do as the zipper isn’t one that goes straight. Even prada didnt know 100% Xx
Oh maybe it’s an Australian term? I had no idea! Haha they’re essentially sneakers. We refer to running shoes as “runners” and casual everyday shoes as “sneakers” (I hope that makes sense) 😅
Yeah these should come in with the full packaging set since it’s all part of the unboxing experience that you’re paying with the price edit: oh god it’s $2,550 in SGD now which is close to AUD 💀💀
The LV bum bag is also beautiful! I think that is more of a trendier bag though, and there’s only a few ways to wear/style it. Also, all that vachetta leather worries me - but that’s just me! 🤣
I have this bag and love it so much!!! It is so care free and easy! I hope you keep it :) I have been eyeing the new Balenciaga Le Cagole XS shoulder bag in black, but not sure if I can justify having both in my collection…. They seem so similar. We will see 🖤🖤 great video!
Such a cute bag… it brings me back! I see the pink square Chanel bag on your shelf… do you have a vid on that bag. I’ve been eyeing it. New here and just subbed. I invite you to my channel to check out. Hope to see you soon! 💖
Thank you so much! 🥰 I would love to stay connected! And yep, I’ve done a review of my pink chanel square mini - it would’ve been one of my earlier videos ☺️💕
Possibly! Although it’s been around for a couple of years so it’s becoming a classic - not to mention it was around back in 2005, so I guess it’s an old school classic 🤣
I LOVE this bag! You’re so lucky! I’m not sure if I can justify the price for a nylon bag, but I think I would wear it a ton!
Thank you! Haha it hurts spending so much on a nylon bag, but it’s super versatile and I think I would definitely get my cost per down with it ☺️
Cost per wear is worth it congratulations babe
Steve Madden has a good looking dupe for $79! I stumbled upon it on the website yesterday and planning on ordering to see how I like the style before going for the Prada. The Steve Madden dupe also has different colors!

Thank you Maggy!! You inspired me to get this bag and I’ve been loving it! 🙈😆💕
I been so obsessed with this bag, I been watching UA-cam videos and stuff like and I’m saving up now to get it, hopefully I get it by summer ✨✨
It’s a great bag! I’ve been using it almost every single day since I got it - you will love it! ❤️
Ah!! I have to keep reminding myself I don't need this bag!! 💕🙈💕 congratulations lovely ! 💕
Thanks babe!! 😘🖤✨
I am loving this bag more and more. I’m on fence too for a nylon bag but all reviews including yours all shows happiness. Lol

I love Prada. And, I love this bag. Great find!!!
Thank you!! ☺️❤️
love it .. i just received mine yesterday .. It is very small but that makes it look even cuter .. I say keep it .
Oh yay twinning!! 🤗 it’s so cute right?! I think I’ve decided to keep it - I can see myself wearing it so many different ways and getting my cost per wear down 😆
I love it !! Plus you can wear the chain as a necklace!!!
Such a versatile bag! 😍
Keep it! I love my vintage mini and found it one of the bags that I reach for all the time!
Thank you for sharing! I think I am going to keep it 🙈💕

Keep it! And style it as edgy as you can. It would totally go with sneakers and dress down days. Cropped tops. Jeans. The works. Great video!
Thank you so much! I think I am going to keep it! 😆🖤

definitely my next wishlist bag! ☺️
I love it! 😍 I hope you can tick it off your wishlist soon too! 🤗
I have the Saffiano version and love it. Definitely think you should keep it 😊
The saffiano version is beautiful, especially with the gold hardware! Thanks hun! 🥰
Hello! Thank you for such a thorough video. I’m considering buying this bag but I’ve been hearing things about the leather piping/trim wearing down or getting tacky. Are you experiencing this issue?

Wish the nylon version came with gold hardware
That would be a cool combo! I think they would definitely sell more if they had two hardware options for the nylon! 😆
This bag is amazing! Really good option besides the LV multiple pochette
I agree! Thank you so much for watching ❤️
I am considering this bag too so thanks for sharing! Keep it!
And LV online in the USA doesn’t come with a shopping bag 🙄.

Hi! Did you notice a difference in shininess between the the the strap clasp and the metal chain?
Hello! 🤗 I don’t see a difference - the hardware is all shiny!
@@helloxluxury thanks for the reply! :)
Def a classic bag! Love!
Thanks hun! 😘
beautiful bag i love it!
Me too! Super versatile 😊
Keep it! It’s worth it based on everything you’ve described!
Aww thank you! Haha I know.. I rewatched the video and noticed how I was talking about it.. I think I will keep it 🤣❤️
Does the chain have the Prada logo on it because mine didn’t come with the logo and a few people I know have logos on theirs?
The chain doesn’t as the clasps are really small. But the clasps on the fabric strap should have Prada engraved on them. I purchased mine straight from the boutique so I that’s how it should be!
I have ordered one from Prada just arrived today I can’t believe it no box just dust bag and I didn’t see any receipt 😢.
Oh no! 🙁 maybe they only provide an electronic invoice because it was purchased online? I’ve heard others who didn’t receive a box either 😩 you can always go in store or call the customer service line to ask for a box and receipt!
Such a cute bag darling. Also, a very carefree bag as well. A great year round handbag. ❤ You can probably use wax paper to make the zipper smoother.
Thank you so much hun! 🥰 I’m so happy I bit the bullet and got it. And thank you for letting me know about using wax paper - such a smart idea! 😄❤️
@@helloxluxury You're welcome babe. Enjoy your new cutie. ❤
I just bought the alabaster pink one, and it don’t convince me.. I don’t know if I should change it for a black colour :( I’m so confused
Oh the alabaster pink is gorgeous! But it depends on what you wear and your style. I think the black would go with everything, but the pink would be a statement in itself and go well with your outfits if you wear a lot of light coloured clothing ☺️
Hi! Could you show some photos of both sides of the entire nylon strap?
Hello! Sure thing! DM me on Instagram helloxluxury ☺️
It looks great on you! But I couldn't justify the price for a nylon bag. I will probably put the money into the empreinte multi pochette which can be worn causually and formally
Oh the empreinte multi pochette is so pretty!! But I’m not a fan of the strap - how you can only wear it two ways 😕 but the braided chain strap is gorgeous!! 🤩 and it’s also much better value than the canvas multi pochette!
If this bag came in navy with gold hardware I would buy it. Love the strap!
I think it does, but in the leather version! 😍💙
@@helloxluxury I looked and saw only black and beige with gold hardware…I’m in the market for a casual navy bag so I will have to wait :)
I kinda want one now. Looks cute!
Haha it’s super cute and versatile 😍 I think I want to keep it! 🙈
Hi I had this bag paid 1150 U.K. sold it 3 weeks later. I didn’t think it was worth the money but as I got in store couldn’t get money back sold for 700 so doesn’t hold value I have to be on the don’t keep side 😬 it looks so cute tho I fell for that good luck with what ever you decide x

love it I have it and I want another one.. Keep!!
That’s what so many people have said! It must be an amazing bag if you want another one 😆 I can definitely see it’s appeal 🖤✨
@@helloxluxury it is and so easy to wear 😍 you will love her I have same one same color
Is this the mini?
Hello! Nope it’s the original size ☺️

What’s runners ? Xx

Oh yes trainers are another term for it! Gosh, who would’ve thought there’d be so many variations 🤣 haha
Actually in the US you don't get a shopping bag when you order on online from Louis Vuitton.
Aw that’s disappointing! I wish luxury brands would be consistent with their packaging worldwide! Surely can’t be that hard 🤣
You don’t get a bag here either (U.K.)
Do you still use this bag?
Yes I do! It’s so practical 😍
Love it!
Thank you! 😘
Omg stooooop I don’t want to want this bag haha 🖤 just kidding! Awesome bag😍
Haha I was the same! I caved though 🙈
Wow. ❤️❤️❤️
Nice sharing friend 👍, supported. Hope to see you around and be connected.
Thank you! 🥰
Yeah these should come in with the full packaging set since it’s all part of the unboxing experience that you’re paying with the price edit: oh god it’s $2,550 in SGD now which is close to AUD 💀💀
Agreed! Wow over $2.5k now 😩 hopefully you can find a steal on the preloved market 🤞🏻
Is this bag still on trend?
It’s probably not as trendy as it used to be last year but it’s definitely still popular and loved by many! 😄
@@helloxluxury it’s a nice bag. I’m deciding between the Prada 2005 or the LV bum bag.
The LV bum bag is also beautiful! I think that is more of a trendier bag though, and there’s only a few ways to wear/style it. Also, all that vachetta leather worries me - but that’s just me! 🤣

I think this is your first time buying a trendy bag? 😱 you usually go for classics/safe bags 😱
Possibly! Although it’s been around for a couple of years so it’s becoming a classic - not to mention it was around back in 2005, so I guess it’s an old school classic 🤣
😂
Take a shot every time she says saffiano leather
🤣🤪
Ahh I want this bag. It's so perfect. 🤍
It is!! 😆🖤✨
