Prada is synonymous to luxury, and is one of the most well known status brand in the world. It has attained its status by being regularly exposed in fashion shows and other high profile luxury events such as award shows, celebrity functions and so on. In addition, celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Uma Thurman has bee seen carrying Prada bags.
Due to the nature of the Prada brand, its products are usually only available in upscale departmental stores, which are in turn located in upscale shopping districts.
Prada is also well known for its creative and unique designs. For example, let's consider the recent, widely popular, Gaufre leather collection. This series of bags, made from genuine leather, has the Prada logo located boldly in front. It comes in a variety of colors, like black, white, brown, and even orange.
The lowest end model retails for about six hundred dollars, while the high end models cost as much as over two thousand dollars. The higher end models look more sophisticated and upscale in design, compared to the lower end models, which tend to adopt a simple look. They come with golden buckles and detachable straps.
This entire collection is designed to be robust. Made from high quality leather, it has the capacity to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, making it the ideal bag for the modern busy women of today.
For anyone who likes to follow what is happening in the fashion industry, he or she would have observed that the trends are constantly changing. Perhaps at a much faster rate than before. But trends are also cyclical. What is in today may be out tomorrow and vice versa.
You choice of the ideal bag ultimately depends on a few factors. For one, are you a trend setter or a trend follower? If you are a trend follower, then just observe what the top models and actresses are carrying. If you are a trend setter, perhaps something a little different will suit you better. Regardless of which side you are on, Prada will have something for you.
If following trends is not one of your hobbies, then the safest choice would be to go for classical designs that are trend resistant. These designs are usually simple, not too loud, and can withstand the test of time. The Gaufre leather collection that we just mentioned is a good example.
So far, we have been discussing about Prada as if anyone can afford to own a Prada bag. Maybe that is not possible a decade ago. But today, internet enterprises are able to offer authentic Prada bags at steep discounts. Steep discounts meaning up to 60 percent. For a Prada bag that usually retails for 2000 dollars, one bought online can cost as low as 5 hundred dollars. That is huge savings!
But price aside, we all know what that means. By lowering the price, more people can afford Prada bags. There is simply no excuse for not owning one. For every Prada fan out there, it's a dream come true.
