haha, yes

 

[softgrey]

that's pretty f***ing adorable...i have to admit that the little robots are pretty appealing...

thanks for all the info and tips darling... what would i do without you...?!?!...

sometime you have to tell me about the botox on the balls of the feet... i am fascinated by this and keep thinking about it...

helena...i just remembered something...reiss has done a great multi piece key chain...all different colour leaves in leather...it's GREAT!!!...don't know why i didn't get it...

have a look and see what you think...

I hated these at first, now I think I want one. I have a few Hermes leather charms (they are actually cheaper) but they aren't nearly as cheeky cute as the Prada ones. If i get one it would be one of the robots . I can always use it as an actual keychain after the season....

^you have a large birkin right?

they would look great on a birkin imo

 

[MJCouture]

I dont have a Birkin anymore actually--but yes they would.

I have the skull and the robot trick on my Birkin.... I want all of them... they're so impractical, but so fun...

ok, although I still think they are lovely, I am not prepared to pay over £100 for a keyring. That is a bit obscene. I would feel too guilty. I will make do with a cheaper version. (I actually already have a cool stripey cat on one of my bags). I was just being overcome by the serenity & seduction in the Prada boutique.

they're already on ebay...and everything goes on sale eventually

 

[helena]

yes but someone above said they are going for $300 on ebay(was it you mike?). I suspect that will calm down but only once i have got over it....such is the fickleness of fashion....and the cleverness of ms. prada. oh i wish I was stronger.

Have to admit I do love the Prada charms, I bought the bear

But anyone noticed how similar they are in concept to the Luella charms from S/S 04 (the season before Prada did them) - these were surely the inspiration, the motifs are the same, robot, skull, heart . . .

Also Marni were known for charms before

Of course the Hermes have been doing their fruit charms for years . . .

Well, you know Prada has been "inspired" by so many other designers

SO ugly and stupid. And grotesquely overpriced, naturally. Those can't cost more than a few bucks to manufacture. Spending over $50 for one of those is insane.

 

[mdankwah]

the mens keyrings cost £115

 

[purechris]

Faust--those are the ones I was looking at. The store didn't have any keychains though, just the figures. I bought a panda bear robot with tiny panda operator in its head. So cute. I was obsessed with pandas when I was a child. It's on the mantle next to the 3 Schlumpfs that I found last month (another childhood obsession)

cute robot

 

[Theory]

I heard they have been wildly popular and have sold out in many Prada retail stores.....nice, but a bit too gimmicky for my tastes....I have a few Prada messengers and the idea of clipping these *tricks* onto the strap seems to border on *OMG here's my $150 Prada trick* ......but they are cute and a decent way to funk up a bag, although I'm sure you can find something on the LES for $10.
