Okay, so, a while back, I decided I was gonna get myself a Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag. The large one. Yeah, it’s a bit of a splurge, but I’d been eyeing it for ages, and, well, you only live once, right?
First thing I did was hit up the internet, as one does. I needed to know everything about this bag. I checked out forums, you know, places like PurseForum, reading what other folks had to say. Some talked about the Saffiano Lux Large Double-Zip Tote on Saks, and I was like, “Is that the same thing?” Turns out, it kinda is, just a different name for a similar style.
I saw some folks mention they got theirs from some TS a few years back, but I wanted mine fresh from the source. So, I started saving up. It took a while, but I was determined.
Doing Some Digging
- Read a bunch of reviews.
- Compared the large and medium sizes.
- Looked up what “Saffiano” even meant.
Finally, the day came. I went to the store, and there it was. Beautiful. I tried it on, walked around with it, you know, the whole shebang. It felt good. Really good. It was big enough to fit my small laptop, which is a huge plus for me ’cause I’m always lugging that thing around.
The sales lady was super nice. She told me about how it’s a classic, how it’s been around for like 17 years, and how it’s not gonna go out of style. And you know what, I believed her. It just had that timeless feel, you know?
Made The Purchase
So, I took the plunge. Swiped my card, and it was mine. I’ve been using it for about six months now, and let me tell you, it’s been great. I take it to work, I take it out on weekends, it just goes with everything.
People notice it, too. I get compliments all the time. And yeah, it makes me feel a little fancy, not gonna lie. It’s like what they say, it’s an investment, like buying good land. It’ll last you.
So, if you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. If you can afford it, and you want something that’s gonna make you feel good and last a long time, this is it. It’s a good crop, as they say. A really good crop.
