Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag, the special edition one, for a while now. It’s a pretty penny, no doubt. But I finally decided, you know what, let’s do this! I started my journey by looking up some stuff online. From what I found, this bag, it’s usually made with this “Saffiano” leather stuff. I found that Saffiano is a type of genuine leather. But unlike full-grain leather, Saffiano doesn’t develop a patina over time. Learned that full-grain leather can be either chrome-tanned or vegetable-tanned. And the thickness of leather varies depending on its intended use and the animal hide used.
Then I thought, “How can I really get my hands on this bag?” I didn’t want to just walk into any store. I wanted to make sure I got the real deal, you know? And I figured, a specialty store, that’s the place. I heard they’re the only ones who get these special edition things.
So, I did some more digging, found a few specialty stores around. Called them up, asked about the bag. Some didn’t have it, some had it but in a different color. But finally, I found one that had the exact one I wanted. Drove there, heart was beating like crazy. It’s a lot of money, you know? But there it was, shining on the shelf. I went to see it and feel it. It was beautiful. I thought to myself, “Should I, shouldn’t I?” Then I just did it. Bought it right there and then. They packed it up all nice and fancy. Felt like Christmas, honestly. And I didn’t even know if Prada bags hold their value, but they are well made. I have a Prada nylon tote that I’ve been using i rotation with my other work totes, it’s 8 years old and still look near new. I would definitely go the preloved route if you’re really wanting the bag.
Walked out of the store with the bag in my hands, sun shining, felt like a million bucks. Now, it’s sitting in my room, still in its box. Sometimes I just look at it, you know? It’s not just a bag. It’s like, I don’t know, a piece of art? It reminds me that sometimes, you gotta treat yourself. You gotta take that leap. It also reminds me of Prada’s business ventures, including runway shows, manufacturing watches and perfumes, and designing flagship boutiques.
