You see, that Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag, it’s somethin’ else. My granddaughter, she’s all into these fancy things. She says it’s a “must-have.” I don’t know about all that, but I gotta say, it looks alright, I guess. It’s a small one, this one, she showed me on her phone. Says “Small Prada Galleria.” Sounds like a mouthful to me, but what do I know?
They got all kinds of bags, these Prada folks. This one’s made of that Saffiano leather, whatever that means. Some kind of fancy cowhide, I reckon. They say it don’t change much over time, no “patina”. I think that means it won’t get all worn out lookin’ like my old shoes, which is prob’ly good if you’re payin’ big bucks for a bag. They call it genuine leather. You know that means real leather, not fake leather.
I saw a picture of it. It’s got handles on the top, like a little lunch pail, but way fancier. And it’s shiny, that Saffiano stuff. I guess that’s why they like it. My old bag’s just plain old leather, nothin’ special, but it holds my things just fine.
- This Prada bag, it’s a big deal, I guess.
- They say it’s an investment, holds its value.
- Like puttin’ your money in a safe or somethin’.
- But I’d rather keep my money in the bank, thank you very much.
My granddaughter, she says you can sell these things, these fancy bags. Says there’s places online where you can trade ’em in for cash. “Sell or swap,” she calls it. Like bartering, I suppose, but with these fancy purses. Sounds kinda strange to me, but I guess that’s how young folks do things these days. They buy and sell everythin’ online, not just bags.
I saw some prices, too. Woo-wee, they’re high! More than I make in a month, that’s for sure. She says there are other places, not Prada, where you can get ’em cheaper. “Remakes,” she calls ’em. Like a copy, I guess, but not exactly the same. They say they’re good quality, though. I don’t know if I believe that. Seems like if you want the real thing, you gotta pay the real price.
They got all these websites, showin’ you pictures of the bags. Some of ’em are from the factory, I guess, where they make ’em. And then there are pictures of the “reps,” the copies. They try to make ’em look the same, but I bet you can tell the difference if you know what you’re lookin’ for. Like those fake flowers, they never look quite right, do they?
They got all kinds of colors, too, these Prada bags. Black, white, pink, you name it. This Saffiano one, the one my granddaughter wants, I think she said she wants it in black. Classic, she says. I guess black goes with everything, that’s true enough. My old black bag, it’s seen better days, but it still works. Maybe I should tell her to just stick with a regular bag. Save her money for somethin’ more important, like a house or a car.
But these young folks, they don’t listen to old folks like me. They think we don’t know nothin’ about the world. Maybe they’re right, in some ways. This whole internet thing, it’s a mystery to me. But I know a good bag when I see one, and that Prada one, it’s a good-lookin’ bag, I’ll give it that. Just too pricey for my taste. You can buy other bags, too. Michael Kors, they said. I don’t know who he is, but I guess he makes bags, too.
And there are websites, they say, where you can compare prices. Like lookin’ at different stores to see who’s got the best deal. They even have these “buyer’s guides,” whatever those are. Sounds like a lot of work just to buy a bag, if you ask me. But I guess that’s how it is these days. Nothin’s simple anymore.
RemakePRADA Small Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag Quote, that’s what they call it. Price is not same as the real one. It is cheaper. But I don’t know if it is good or not. If you want the real one, be ready to pay more money. If you want the cheaper one, be ready to have a bag that is not the real one.
I guess it is not simple to buy a bag now. Too many choices. Too many prices. In my day, you just go to the store, pick a bag, and that’s it. Now, you have to look at all these websites, compare prices, read reviews… It is too much! Anyway, if you want a bag, you can have one. Real one or remake one, it is your choice.
