Just say you are paying more so that the workers can have a decent wage except at the same time I know their bosses are also robbing us blind. I try to buy from more reputable companies which means I save my pennies for most purchases. Mainly small choices for me, like paying $100 for jeans made in the us vs $50 for jeans made in china </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-872469 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 13:40:04 +0000 Mander 872469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's much nicer than what I was imagining, Caro!</p> <p>When I first started taking an interest in fashion a few years ago, I found myself stuck with a long layover in Heathrow airport, which is sort of like being trapped in a luxury goods shopping mall. I wandered into the Prada store to see what all the fuss was about and I have to admit that I was really shocked that utilitarian nylon bags could cost so much! The ones they had at the time seemed like 80s gym bags, not even any leather trim, and I thought they were hideous.</p> <p>But this one is pretty nice looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-870086 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:02:43 +0000 Sarah A 870086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is lovely and the bag is sleek. Bonus short handles. I think this suits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-870034 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:54:12 +0000 Deborah 870034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro glad you added the picture. This is lovely. The black one shown above somewhere is what I was thinking off. The colour makes this bag. And the shape is quite sleek. I can see you carrying this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-870029 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:16:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 870029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah. I've added a photo of the one I think I'll buy if I go ahead. It's<br /> - big enough for everyday<br /> - a really nice royal navy<br /> - amazingly light<br /> - long enough to wear across the body</p> <p>I think it will work with dressier day clothes &amp; also with jeans. My life is fairly casual but I do wear a lot of jackets/coats - or I will if autumn ever arrives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-870021 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:49:33 +0000 Deborah 870021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, I like Prada bags and am not bothered by wearing the logo, but I wonder if this bag you are looking at is 1. Interesting enough and 2. Smart enough? I admit to loving the nylon bag so take my bias into account but somehow this just doesn't look smart enough for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-870007 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:26:52 +0000 Caro in Oz 870007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mo - those bags look great but they are more travel bags/luggage than I'm looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869994 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 07:15:23 +0000 Mo 869994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, got it. The phrasing tripped me up I guess. I have had a nylon bag by Nine West that was so durable I wore it straight for almost 10 years. I still have it, but have moved on to my leather Fossil. I have heard Bagallini nylon bags are awesome (a flight attendant friend of mine swears by them). <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baggallini-Big-Sydney-Black-Size/dp/B003J35XUM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Baggalli.....B003J35XUM</a></p> <p>Happy bag hunting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869868 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 03:32:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 869868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.</p> <p>Mo - My question was more one of quality rather than how I would be perceived. I can see why people feel paying a lot of money for nylon is not worth it but in my experience (&amp; I'm not in the USA so I have fewer options) the other non-leather bags I see look either way too casual &amp; travel bag -ish or worse still the quality is really poor.</p> <p>The Prada nylon bags do seem to be lovely imo - but I just wanted to canvas other opinions.</p> <p>Spiffy - thanks for that I did actually look at some of their bags but I want something I can use everyday with jeans &amp; dressier outfits (tall order I know). The ones I saw were way more casual than this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869762 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:30:38 +0000 Spiffy 869762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at Marimekko bags? Their aesthetic is very different from Prada but they're very well constructed and made out of canvas with minimal metal hardware so they're very light. </p> <p>Their big thing is pattern but I have seen some comparatively subtle patterns from them AND they are all machine washable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869749 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:26:54 +0000 Raisin 869749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know Prada bags, but for me as long as they don't have giant logos like LV or Coach then I can usually find one I like. It's more about the style, shape and color for me. I don't like obvious branding on bags (or anything really). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869671 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:57:00 +0000 Tina.b 869671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prada makes gorgeous bags! I'm eying up a navy blue briefcase for my husband at the moment. In general their labels and logos are very subtle, which I appreciate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869619 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:19:00 +0000 Anonymous 869619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Prada bags, but wouldn't pay that kind of money for nylon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869532 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 23:51:41 +0000 unfrumped 869532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No poison but hate logos. The good thing is I could never recognize a designer bag without one. I have a consignment-store Kate Spade tote that I love but it has a small name plate that still makes me nervous--though I bought it anyway--and threaten to tie a ribbon over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869489 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 23:07:34 +0000 Sarah A 869489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dont know the Prada line (except that it is really pricey &amp; likely awesome stuff) , but I really like a nylon crossbody for functionality and light (empty) weight. I dont carry much but some of the bags are so heavy empty as to cause a problem.</p> <p>I like the cross body typically for my back issue, however when my particular lower back injury is flaring up I do find going to a hand carried bag (usually in the crook of the elbow) is preferable so I have a few of these available too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869469 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:43:46 +0000 Mo 869469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bag illiterate - and totally okay with that. Just curious about the post question and how it relates to your bag needs. Are you wondering how others would perceive you carrying a Prada bag? Again, I'm so not bag aware, so maybe my question is stupid. I'll admit I have NO idea what a Prada bag even looks like lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869413 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:58:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 869413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny Zapotee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869381 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:19:27 +0000 Anonymous 869381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only poison Is that I don't own one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869378 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:17:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 869378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana &amp; Mia.</p> <p>Thistle - I'm with you on logos. I think the designers should pay me to wear their advertising not the other way around:) The only exceptions I've made are sun glasses - Chanel with the interlocked cs &amp; a pair of boots with "SEE by Chloe" stamped into the leather. I think I can cope with the Prada badge - I can always turn it towards my body:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869377 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:16:14 +0000 JennyK (NC) 869377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle - me too. If you want me to display your logo you need to pay *me* to wear it. I don't want to pay you for the privilege of advertising for you. :-)</p> <p>As for the nylon bag, I can see the advantage of having something so lightweight. I'd have a hard time spending that sort of money for a nylon bag though. I guess I would think that a very well-made nylon bag could be had for significantly less money, but maybe I'm thinking of nylon in the wrong way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869370 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:09:04 +0000 Thistle 869370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really know anything about the brand, but I tend to have a poison eye for logos. Getitng over it slowly, as it is so hard to find a good bag without the darn logo on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869349 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:00:11 +0000 Mia 869349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of nylon ones from the 90's that are almost past using they are so worn. I have a small cross body and a small bucket bag. They were fantastic for travel as they packed flat and weighed nothing. The cost per wear on mine is pennies as I have used them for 10 years or more on a regular basis. </p> <p>I have been wondering if the quality is as good as it once was but I can vouch for the older ones. I am off to Italy soon so I will keep an eye out for the re-issue of these type of bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869338 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:55:40 +0000 Diana 869338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I have a nylon (with leather trim) MZ Wallace bag and I like it a lot! I also have a Longchamps Le Pliage tote which is always a good, lightweight choice that holds a ton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-love-or-have-poison-eye-for-prada-bags#post-869330 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:52:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 869330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone.</p> <p>deb &amp; kkards - thanks for the links, lovely bags.

I loved it. It was all nylon (this was about 14-15 years ago).
