Prada bags

[kahlua03]

Sa hk sis walang numbers or labels ang items. But I once emailed the customer service manager of Prada, simply out of curiosity regarding items sold in hk outlet.  I buy there often, thus my concern whether I am being sold substandard quality. So the cust svc manager in Asia called me upon receiving my email. He is based in Singapore. Here's what he said: "The items we sell in hk outlet (Space) are off-season but not substandard. Items, however, are all handmade and in cases of slight damage, this will be verbalized to the buyer before purchase. Those items will also have further discount." Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag sis. Hehe

Ano price range ng nylon bags sa HK outlet? Iniisip ko kasi kung sulit ba dayuhin..

Nanghihinayang ako na 1 lang binili kong bag when we were in The Mall in Italy.. last ko kasi pinasok ang Prada so medyo paubos na budget at that time.. Hehe..

Hi sis any experiences buying with Ms. Marga of Canon e bags prime? Legit ba yung mga second hand nya na prada?

^ Sis, rule of thumb when buying designer items - authenticate the items involved no matter how reputable the seller is - before purchasing. $5-$7 lang siya for online authentication. Saves everyone time and trouble. Sa dami nang lumalabas na fakes ngayon, mahirap na. Wala naman sigurong reason para tumanggi yung nagbebenta to give you pictures of the bag for aunthentication.

bagaholic_chewy: the nylon tote bags nasa 36k php na if I remember it correctly. The leather ones are around 50k and above. I bought mine at 55k php. Wallets are at around 23k. Still cheaper in Italy. But if I want another Prada dayuhin ko na lang ulit siguro yung outlet ok naman stocks. I saw the moroccan blue in calfskin sa greenbelt nasa 91k same ng nakita ko sa outlet for around 55k lang din. Kahit mamasahe ako pa-hk at bumili ng bag may sukli pa. lol

^^ sis, yan ang worth dayuhin talaga if you're in europe. the online sellers here must be earning real good amount of money if they source the pradas from space in florence. a friend recently got back from europe. medyo out of the way daw lang daw si outlet especially if you are on a tour. pero ang mumura grabe! 

[m_lim]

yes dadayuhin mo talaga at mahal ang train from florence to space outlet ha! mga 5t pesos roundtrip. tapos taxi ka pa.

so i guess that explains yung mark up ng online sellers. kakapagod rin magbiyahe at magbitbit ng madami!

No need naman to go to Space mismo. Sa The Mall, me malaking Prada outlet na din. Nakahiwalay pa kaso ang Space. Me bus from Florence direct to The Mall and vice versa. Parang nasa €6-8/pax/way lang yata yun.

When we went to The Mall, una ko pinasukan ibang stores kaya pagdating sa Prada, budget for one bag na lang natira.. hehe.. hinati ko din kasi shopping budget ko nun kasi namili pa ako sa Milan..

[vhanya]

We went to The Mall. One whole luggage full of designer goods nabili ko lol!! I didn't stay long in Prada. We only bought wallets, 1bag and shoes for hubby. Nagbabad ako sa Tods, Fendi, Valentino, BV and YSL

i want a Prada wallet and I saw one pero hindi ko alam kung tunay meron ba ditong marunong tumingin?  Please pm me so I can send the pic. TIA!

[karla1o]

yup mas ok kung mismong store kung gusto mo perfect quality!

pero if you don't mind may konting defect. sa outlet ka bumili kesa sa resellers.

kasi ang mga resellers sinasabi nila cheaper than orig price pero di nila sinasabi na galing outlet. meaning, hindi perfect quality.

tiningnan ko nga prices ng resellers ng prada sa IG and FB. doble pala mark up nila.

thanks for this sis! really helped me to decide
but what if the seller has this pre-order thingy? sure kayang hindi na sa outlet store niya bibilhin?

[m_lim]

^i think di na natin masisigurado yon. chambahan kasi sa outlet kung meron don mismo yung pinapahanap ng client (swerte ang seller kung ganon!)

[googoo]

More affordable talaga sa europe.  I got leather bags for 37k or less.

[khriseeee]

I got the bn1713, vitello daino leather tote for 35k lang

[sdee]

hi mga sis! meron ba dito galing lang sa hong kong prada outlet ano ano kaya ang available nila? meron kaya sila vitello daino available dun and around how much kaya siya sa outlet? TIA

[divamom]

Has anyone bought from designersunglassesgoodies.com ? They claim that they source their bags from Space Outlet Italy. Thanks!

will be in rome this summer and planning to buy a prada bag.. I was advised that its much better to buy prada  leather bags than the nylon ones? But I think, depende din kung saang place ka? because here, malamig  kasi kaya siguro sinabi na mas ok ang leather? ano ba ang disadvantage ng nylon? thanks

[khriseeee]

^leather is natural while nylon is synthetic. I feel the same way, for the same price I'd rather get leather. Depends on the leather and how you treat your bags as well. Nylon is pretty much low maintenance - spill proof, washable, etc. Whereas more care is needed for leather.

I just think leather looks so much more luxurious and if cared for well will last years

Which is why even though I love the gaufre bags, I cannot justify paying the price when I can get an all leather bag for the same price.
