So, I decided to get into this whole “remake” thing, starting with the RemakePRADA Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Mini-Bag, the “Original order” one. Heard it’s all the rage, you know.
First, I started digging around, trying to figure out what this Saffiano leather is all about. Turns out, it’s real leather, but they do something to it, like a treatment and some embossing, to make it look fancy. They say it doesn’t get that old leather look, that patina thing, over time. And there’s this other type called full-grain, but this one is different. And the thickness changes, I guess, depending on what they’re making. Probably thicker for a bag and thinner for something else, maybe a wallet? Learned that cleaning it is also a bit of a process, had to use a damp cloth, nothing too rough or it messes up the surface.
Then, I went ahead and ordered one. I’d heard about Prada, a big name since 1913, making fancy stuff, so I figured, why not? This Galleria bag, it’s a classic, they say. Simple, but classy, you know?
Waiting for it to arrive was a pain, like waiting for water to boil. But when it finally got here, I ripped open that package like a kid on Christmas. And there it was, this little, shiny bag. It’s small, for sure, but it’s got that “expensive” look, I guess.
Holding it, I could feel the leather, all textured and stiff. It’s not soft, but it feels strong, like it’ll last. I checked out the inside, the lining and all. Pretty basic, but neat. It’s got that Prada logo, a triangle thing, which I guess is a big deal.
I started carrying it around, just to see how it feels. It’s okay for the small stuff, like your phone, keys, some cash. But don’t expect to fit your whole life in there. I did get some looks, and some folks even asked me about it, saying how nice it looks.
So, I’ve been using it for a bit now. It’s a nice little bag, definitely different from the usual stuff I carry. It is kind of a statement piece, I suppose. Would I get another one? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s been an interesting experience, getting this RemakePRADA bag and seeing what the fuss is all about.
- Pros:
- Looks fancy.
- Feels durable.
- Gets attention.
- Cons:
- It’s pretty small.
- Kinda pricey.
- Gotta be careful cleaning it.
Final Thoughts
In the end, it’s a neat little bag. If you’re into this kind of thing, you might like it. It is not for everyone, but it’s definitely got its own charm.
