For some reason they don't bother me...and they're great for people who object to leather/animal skin bags

^ that'd be fine, if they weren't so overpriced, then. I mean really, it's nylon.

I actually like them. Isn't that what they're known for is mostly the nylon bags. You can spot a black nylon with the triangle a mile away and know its a Prada.

 

[PrincessImp.]

^ I know what you mean.

But at the end of the day, they are just nylon.
I honestly think that they are overhyped and overpriced, yes they are a good alternative for people who are against leather, but with the prices, it seems like you are paying more for the name than anything else.

I rather just get a plain generic nylon bag and save my money for something else

but the nylon is nicer than the nylon on a drugstore bag. I have one I use as a diaper bag and it's durable, stylish (at least compared to other diaper bags) and looks brand new. I do agree the bags are overpriced, but what designer bags aren't?? people are willingly paying $1000+ for balenciaga bags that fade after a couple uses and chloe paddingtons that have chipped hardware. and so what if it's nylon -- unless we're talking about exotic skins, you're not paying for the materials but for the craftsmanship. people don't seem to have a problem shelling out $$ for gucci monogram bags. I'm personally bored with all prada bags, not just the nylon. does anybody remember the quilted nylon bags? it's been a long time, but I seem to recall they came out before the regular nylon bags. I had one and loved it. I wonder if it's in the attic somwhere . . .

i remember the quilted ones. those were f/w 2003. i wanted one!

i don't mind the basic classic nylon bags, but the more they tried to get creative with the nylon, the less i liked them. i have a small messenger square bag and really like it

 

[Eclecticbagz]

don't like these bags, AT ALL...i can't imagine someone paying full price knowing that they're all over the internet at discount shops which have really cheapened these bags...doesn't bluefly carry these?

 

[Ceptuouse]

i agree with pucci_mama there horrible

 

[Loupdeloo]

I love the mid-sized messenger bag. I agree that they're COMPLETELY overpriced, but I think they're stylish and utilitarian.

 

[metal-on-metal]

I think in a somewhat ironic way they might be back. I think they're funny, but also 'quiet' and utilitarian which means they're on the right track as far as trends go.

mine was from around 1990!

 

[Kimkhuu]

not a fan.....

Aren't the zipper tags and the buckle straps on these nylon bags leather? If so, they can't be a vegan bag solution!!! I have the small back pack which I use when I'm dressed down and it's snowing - or when I am with friends who have very hyper kids who give everything a good mauling - it's fine for those occasions. I think that if the bag is clean and in good condition and worn with the right clothing it can look chic.

 

[justlucky]

I like the orange shopper that was posted above as a bag to thrown around and not be too careful with, but for nearly $800, no way.

 

[travis_nw8]

don't we have to blame the black nylon bag for bringing prada to everyones attention?

 

[Organic]

can anyone tell me about this bag?

what season it is, in particular? possibly what it retailed for? thanks
