Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this Prada Galleria Saffiano leather bag for a while, the small one. It’s just so classy, you know? I finally decided to go for it and buy the dang thing. I did some digging online, looked at a bunch of sites, just to see what was out there price-wise and make sure I was getting a real one.
I went to several shops, and I carefully checked all the bags. First, I touched the leather. I learned that Saffiano leather is treated and embossed. It’s different from full-grain leather. And also checked the thickness, since that changes depending on what the bag is for. I learned that real Prada bags have really neat stitching. It’s small, tight, and all the same, and it goes a little upward, and the thread color is almost the same as the bag’s color.
Then I looked at a bunch of Galleria Saffiano bags, some on sale for like $778, which seemed too good to be true, honestly. I compared the stitching, the way the leather felt, and the inside of the bag. This one has a really nice inside, which is the main reason I wanted this specific Prada bag, and not another one. The one I chose has an adjustable strap, ranging from 110 cm to 120 cm, with a drop length between 55 cm and 60 cm.
I finally found one that seemed legit. It looked right, felt right, and all the little details matched up with what I’d read about real Prada bags.
I ended up buying it, and I’m so happy I did! It’s definitely an investment, but I’ve heard that these bags hold their value, some even go up in price over time. So, not only is it a beautiful bag, but it might also be a smart buy in the long run. Plus, it’s a classic style that won’t go out of fashion. Win-win! I finally bought it at a reasonable price!
