am considering this bag, BL0838 in bluette color. actually im not sure if theres this color but thats what the salesperson told me. but when i search online, it seems like they dont have such color, but only cornflower blue??
would you know is bl0838 do have this color, bluette color?
and would you know if we were to buy an item from prada italy, and have it exchange for the same items but other color in other country, is it possible?
Hi Charlene, I do not have experience in Prada, but I know this works in Louis Vuitton, you can buy in Paris and then exchange it in anywhere around the world as long as it is in their boutique. But if you want to return it, this can only be done in the same boutique you bought it. I belief this is also the same with Prada.
The BL0838 is also available in bluette color!!
Keep us updated, thanks for informing us about the Chanel natural chic flap bag, aren’t you going to hunt for that one too?
thanks for the information! i just checked with prada SG, they said i have to top up the difference even if it is the same item. =(
but is the bluette color available in italy, any idea? cos i search the estore, they dont even have the color but in SG, theres this color.
i have actually 2 chanel bags in mind, cc crave and easy caviar but i guess they are almost impossible to get it in italy. thought of the chic flap bag too, but i kinda feel like im buying that for the sake of buying just because i want to buy a CHANEL branded bag. hahaa. chanel 3 is a bit out of my budget.
but i will still ask my friend who is going to italy to keep a lookout for the cc crave and easy caviar, before going to prada to look for bl0838. but i guess my problem for it would is there bluette selling in italy. >_<
Hi Charlene, this color should be available too in Europe as it is also available in the US. They don’t post everything on their site, because its an e-store.
I am not sure if they have the Easy Flap Bag, because this is from the previous collection, you will have more luck hunting for the cc crave.
May i know what is the price for BN 1336 nylon now in Paris and also the Prada Saffianoo tote bag? I’m travelling in Nov.. Is it cheaper in Rome and whats the VAT for both countries?
You get more tax-refund in Rome than in Paris. Saffiano totes will be priced €1.200 – €1.400, depending on the leather and color. And the B1336: €1.850.
Hi Pay, the BN1801 should cost you now €1.420, so you still need to deduct the VAT of 12% at the airport if you NON-EU Citizen, don’t forget that oke? =)
Can I know is it all prada price increase ? Do they have store or outlet in Hungary? Wat is the exact price for BN1801? Because the price seem like a big different with the one my friend bought in Greece
Price depend on the resellers. The BN1801 is priced at €1.420 and it should be the same in Greece. I am not sure about Hungary, I don’t think they have a boutique over there, but resellers.
Hi, great website you have..
I am planning to get BN2316, do you have information on the price and color available in europe? And how much tax refund i can expect? Thank you very much 🙂
Hi, I’m thinking of getting a prada tessuto Bn1407 or Bn1336 as I’m only 5″2 I’m afraid bn1336 is big for me? And do u know both models price in Italy? Thanks a lot!!!
I don’t think the bn1336 will be too big for you, but you can try it out at the Prada boutique. Please read the comments of Purelove’s journey in search for Prada tessuto, her comments will give you an indication about the stock. (suprisingly limited)
The saffiano tote bag is a great bag, it holds and has a great style. I haven’t heard anyone using the bag shaper, it’s the first time I heard that. But are you planning to get the Saffiano?
Yes I do plan on getting one! I’ve been eyeing the Saffiano bn2274. However, the prices are kinda throwing me off. The Neiman Marcus website sells the bags but their prices are different from the Prada online store: $1810 vs 1995. Or maybe I’m reading the dimensions wrong, what are the dimensions to the Prada bn2274?
Must be the upgrade version. I don’t have record about the B1407L, they have just released it. It’s the same like the BN prada saffiano tote, they keep making new ones, but then better. The overall style was still the same.
Hi Purelove, forget about the Fuchsia mini, maybe try another color or the Prada Tessuto Gaufre. I just talked to our favo SA of Dior and they told me that you can’t find the small in Fuchsia mini in Rome and Paris. In these two cities, only the large version is available.
Aww … that’s sad …
Oh God ! Ok then I’ll need to concentrate on Prada Tessuto Gaufre …
But I really have to thank you .
You’ve been so helpful ! 🙂
And saves a lot of my IDD calls to France and Italy !
There are so many numbers in my phone now that I don’t know which one is which ! LOL !
By the way , you really know me well , you mentioned that i won’t like
Biarritz much as the black versions now are not so … appealing to me ,
I prefer the ones with the , hmmm … how shall I describe ?
The black ones with ‘sparkling dust” effect instead of the normal flat black canvas coating .
Hi Purelove, yes to be honest I find the black version too boring, not something you like. But you should focus on the Tessuto Gauffre bag. Now that they have in stock, you don’t need to worry much anymore right? Just give the order to your sis =P. Keep me informed about your purchase.
Not easy finding the Tessuto Gaufre bags , apparently the ones that I wanted are all out of stocks !
Like BN1336 and BN1336M , BN1407 and BN1407M , BN2393 .
Personally I would prefer the ones without the M as the hardware makes the bag stands out .
Now the latest one BN1407L , I finally knew what’s the difference !
The zipper is not hidden like BN1407M , it has a huge gold zipper from left to right . Err … not very pretty in real life .
I’m seriously knocking my forehead now ! LOL !
The SA told me there is a BN2475 , is it bigger than BN2393 ?
Knock!
It’s a upgrade version, they always change one thing. With the saffiano tote, they added for the new BN a shoulder strap and less hardware.
I notice with Prada, the higher the BN goes, the bigger the size.
How long will you sis stay in Europe?
Dear sassy.bag
I see lots of tweety birds @ @
Lol!
My sister is in Milan now. Will be back to Paris for her flight home on Monday, 10 June.
Me and my quests for bag. . .
Hi Purelove, finally your quest for the bag has been fulfilled. LOL. When she gets back, you have to upload the bag to the forum to show me.
Dear sassy.bag ,
On 9 June 2013 , there are a 3 Tessuto Gaufre models circling my head , saying ‘pick me , pick me’ .
All at Paris CDG airport .
On 10 June 2013 , I’m devastated .
My sister could not purchase the bag when she arrives at Paris airport from Milan she could not go into the duty free .
She also could not purchase the bag when she departs home as she is in a different terminal , she could not go in the duty free area in a different terminal .
The staff could bring it over , but she can’t pay with credit card , only cash .
She has cash not more than 50 Euros .
Could not withdraw using the credit card as I would need to go to the bank personally to obtain a pin number , the banks are closed at that time in my country .
I am dead …
Your sis do not need to go into the duty free area. She can buy the bag in a boutique and have the tax refund claimed on the airport. This takes only a hour or so in total max.
This is really a sad story. And now? Is she coming back with empty hands?
There are ATM’s in the airport right?
Dear sassy.bag,
The Prada bags that I was looking for is all out of stocks in Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice and Milan boutiques 🙁
I finally found them at the Paris airport store.
Called up and reserved the bag.
Unfortunately, when my sister arrived from Milan , she could not enter the duty free area.
She also could not enter when she departs for her flight home as it was in a different terminal.
The SA said she could only buy the bag in cash, he was helpful enough. She could not use the credit card as she is not in the store.
Unable to withdraw any cash, as I would need to go to the bank personally to obtain a pin number, the card was a supplementary from me she is still a student, could not apply for her own.
Bank was closed at that time in my country.
She indeed returned home empty handed…
It was a very sad journey, but I’m grateful I had you with me all the way.
My deepest gratitude for all your kind efforts and guidance.
Thank you very very much sassy.bag 🙂
Hopefully, there will be another chance…
and I will ‘bug’ you again, LOL !
Hi Jess,
I am really sorry to heard that. You know, were were really excited about you, getting your dream bag. And especially because you had so many opportunities to buy. OMG, we made back-up plans, contact boutiques and…
So many things went wrong, no words to describe your experience.
Oh and yes, she was not able to withdraw cash out of the machine anyway. I had similar experience, it was €1,000 EUR a day. I still can’t understand why the SA couldn’t have it paid through creditcard.
But you can bug me anytime. =D
I read some reviews on the web that says Prada is pretty cheap in Korea – any idea if it’s true? A double zip Saffiano is USD1650.
Also, Prada has opened an outlet store at Paju Lotte Premium Outlet -outskirts of Seoul. Any idea about prices there?
Outlet always sell at lower price, but to find the bag you want depends on the luck. In Europe they have a Prada outlet in florence, if you are lucky enough, you find a bag cost €1,000, price at €400.
Hey girls, do you have any information about outlets in Milan, Italy as well? I really “must have” Prada small Saffiano and I dont know the outlet price and where to find it. Thanks for answer.
Outlets are always full of suprises, but unfortunately I heard that they don’t have saffianos in outlets and sales. Still, you never know, you might want to check it out.
Thank you Alex. Really? Thats a pitty. So can you tell me, what types of Prada are in outlets, if you know? And prices as well. I am going to Milan in september. Thanks a lot.
Radka, this rotate, it hard to say. But if you are lucky enough, you can find a gorgeous bag for 40% less than the retail price.
Hi
May I know what is the price like for prada tessuto gaufre bn1336m at the prada outlet in Florence?
Thanks 😉
I really can’t say how much you will be getting, you have to be lucky. For example: I heard someone has spotted the Prada Tessuto Vitello Daino Bag for 315 EUR, which is really a nice price.
I will be traveling to Florence,Italy this weekend and would like to know if you have heard of the outlet called “The Mall”(http://www.outlet-firenze.com/) or The Prada Outlet located in Florence? If so, are they worth going to?
hi thank you for the above articles, its helps ..i would like to buy the prada handbag but i am not sure which one to buy first.. as this would be my 1st prada handbag i want it to be very special. should i go for gauffre or saffiano or vitello.. and what color should i buy.. i went to the store and have tried everything on but in the end i end up not buying any.. due to confusion.. but one thing for sure next would be channel handbag wuhuu.. can you help me with my first prada handbag pls..
Which one is more attractive for you? Gauffre, Saffiano or Vitello?
If you read all the comments here, it’s all about the saffiano bag. The style is simple gorgeous. It feels chic, it’s practical and the material durable. If you want something to carry on day, night, weekend and that matches most of your outfit, go for the black.
I’ve been reading you website for quite sometime… thanks for helping me making a good decision for my first designer bag… I’ve bought PRADA Saffiano Lux bn1786 for Christmas same like Kristine… absolutely love it… worth every cent that i spent… everywhere i go people seems to envy it… next is i’m aiming for Chanel maxi flap…
love love love…
yes yes yes yes!!! Thanks for dropping a sweet comment like this. It gives me power to keep the site running! Congratulation on your new saffiano bag! It’s a gorgeous piece. I am curious, why are you going to choose maxi instead of jumbo or medium?
Thanks for your kind advise. Actually I’m thinking to get a chanel bag too, I’m the confusing to go for classic jumbo flap or medium/large, what do you think? And sadly that chanel just increase their price, do you manage to get the new price? Thanks
To be honest, I haven’t heard any price increase yet. The medium is the most famous pick, but have less space. The jumbo is a bit heavier, comes with a ‘double’ flap, have more space and you can easy structure your stuff inside. Picking the right size sometimes have to do with your height and personal preference. How tall are you btw?
Actually my friend was told by a reseller here (malaysia) that chanel price was increased, we have no idea how accurate the news is… Hope the price can hold till next month as I’m getting my friend to help me to get a chanel bag during her vacation in France for the coming mid of April.. I’m only 157cm, just adore the jumbo classic bag thought my height should go for medium right… 😀
Did you tried the jumbo on already? I have seen girls with your height carrying a jumbo and I think it’s cute. The size between jumbo and medium is just a tiny difference, as long as you don’t walk around with a MAXI!! =P
Thanks for your advise… Need some “professional” advice from you on the sizes… I’m 157cm,48 kg… Should I go for bn1801 or the classic size bn2274?? Thanks again 😀
My honest opinion: The bn1801 will be better for you considering your height, because bn2274 is bigger. I have seen some people purchasing bn2274, only to end up changing it back to bn1801. But you should try both sizes to see which one feels better.
Hi, I’m thinking to get one too, still not yet make up m mind shud go for double zip or single zip, appreciate if u could provide some suggestion.. N which colour did u pick?
If this is your first Saffiano Lux Tote, I would say go for the black. Black matches almost all outfit and you can carry it every day. My color priority are:
1. Black – match almost all outfits
2. Caramel – The saffiano lux tote is a chic bag and when it comes to chic you need to choose a color that matches the chic style. Caramel gives a calm, assertive feeling. Excellent for work (especially were formal clothes are compulsory )
3. Argilla – a bit mushroom color. Good match with formal clothes too or clothes with darker color. The argilla is an elegant mixed with chic color and matches almost all outfit too.
I haven’t heard that the Saffiano tote have a single zip. Most people who own this bag have double zip.
Thanks dear, is really help a lot…probably will go for the black one.. Yes they do have strap with single zip in medium, if I’m not wrong the item code is bn1874.. The size is between bn1801 & bn 2274
Hi Vialan, I saw that the double zip is a bit more popular than the single zip. I did some diggin’ and have read somewhere saying that single zip doesn’t hold it’s shape as good as the double zip. You want to take that in mind when purchasing.
Do you have an idea which size you are going to buy?
Hi,
I would like to buy my first Prada handbags. Which one should I buy ? As I would like to have a classic one for my first collection. Thanks.
The Prada Saffiano Lux Tote of course =D
Hi there! Would like to check if the double bag comes with the shoulder strap? I’m considering between the double bag and the lux tote! 🙁
Hi Kate, yes it does:
Removable, adjustable shoulder strap; 20 1/2″ drop
Hi,

i have actually 2 chanel bags in mind, cc crave and easy caviar but i guess they are almost impossible to get it in italy. thought of the chic flap bag too, but i kinda feel like im buying that for the sake of buying just because i want to buy a CHANEL branded bag. hahaa. chanel 3 is a bit out of my budget.
but i will still ask my friend who is going to italy to keep a lookout for the cc crave and easy caviar, before going to prada to look for bl0838. but i guess my problem for it would is there bluette selling in italy. >_<
Hi Charlene, this color should be available too in Europe as it is also available in the US. They don’t post everything on their site, because its an e-store.
I am not sure if they have the Easy Flap Bag, because this is from the previous collection, you will have more luck hunting for the cc crave.
Hi i am planning to get Prada Gaufre Tessuto Totes small size in milan. May i know how much is the price in EU and the tax refund? Thanks so much

Hi,
May i know what is the price for BN 1336 nylon now in Paris and also the Prada Saffianoo tote bag? I’m travelling in Nov.. Is it cheaper in Rome and whats the VAT for both countries?
Thanks
You get more tax-refund in Rome than in Paris. Saffiano totes will be priced €1.200 – €1.400, depending on the leather and color. And the B1336: €1.850.
My sis going Italy coming dec 2013, I was ask my sis buy prada bn1801,may I know the price in euro??? Thx
Hi Pay, the BN1801 should cost you now €1.420, so you still need to deduct the VAT of 12% at the airport if you NON-EU Citizen, don’t forget that oke? =)
Thx for reply , now increse price. I though €1290
Can I know is it all prada price increase ? Do they have store or outlet in Hungary? Wat is the exact price for BN1801? Because the price seem like a big different with the one my friend bought in Greece
Price depend on the resellers. The BN1801 is priced at €1.420 and it should be the same in Greece. I am not sure about Hungary, I don’t think they have a boutique over there, but resellers.

Hi Catherine, the BN1801 is priced at €1.350 + tax, your refund will be around 12 – 14% OFF.

Hi, I’m thinking of getting a prada tessuto Bn1407 or Bn1336 as I’m only 5″2 I’m afraid bn1336 is big for me? And do u know both models price in Italy? Thanks a lot!!!
I don’t think the bn1336 will be too big for you, but you can try it out at the Prada boutique. Please read the comments of Purelove’s journey in search for Prada tessuto, her comments will give you an indication about the stock. (suprisingly limited)
Just wanted to tell you I love your posts!
Did you buy a bag shaper for the Saffiano bag? Does the saffiano leather hold things really well?
The saffiano tote bag is a great bag, it holds and has a great style. I haven’t heard anyone using the bag shaper, it’s the first time I heard that. But are you planning to get the Saffiano?
Yes I do plan on getting one! I’ve been eyeing the Saffiano bn2274. However, the prices are kinda throwing me off. The Neiman Marcus website sells the bags but their prices are different from the Prada online store: $1810 vs 1995. Or maybe I’m reading the dimensions wrong, what are the dimensions to the Prada bn2274?
33 x 23.5 x 14.5 (L x H x W in cm), why not order from the Prada online store?
Dear sassy.bag
I called up Prada in Rome. The SA said there is a new Prada Tessuto Gaufre model B1407L.
Do you know the difference with Bn1407 M?
Thank you for your kind assistance
Must be the upgrade version. I don’t have record about the B1407L, they have just released it. It’s the same like the BN prada saffiano tote, they keep making new ones, but then better. The overall style was still the same.
Hi Purelove, forget about the Fuchsia mini, maybe try another color or the Prada Tessuto Gaufre. I just talked to our favo SA of Dior and they told me that you can’t find the small in Fuchsia mini in Rome and Paris. In these two cities, only the large version is available.
Dear sassy.bag
Aww … that’s sad …
Oh God ! Ok then I’ll need to concentrate on Prada Tessuto Gaufre …
But I really have to thank you .
You’ve been so helpful ! 🙂
And saves a lot of my IDD calls to France and Italy !
There are so many numbers in my phone now that I don’t know which one is which ! LOL !
By the way , you really know me well , you mentioned that i won’t like
Biarritz much as the black versions now are not so … appealing to me ,
I prefer the ones with the , hmmm … how shall I describe ?
The black ones with ‘sparkling dust” effect instead of the normal flat black canvas coating .
Thank you so much sassy.bag 🙂
Hi Purelove, yes to be honest I find the black version too boring, not something you like. But you should focus on the Tessuto Gauffre bag. Now that they have in stock, you don’t need to worry much anymore right? Just give the order to your sis =P. Keep me informed about your purchase.
Hi sassy.bag
You are going to knock my forehead !
Not easy finding the Tessuto Gaufre bags , apparently the ones that I wanted are all out of stocks !
Like BN1336 and BN1336M , BN1407 and BN1407M , BN2393 .
Personally I would prefer the ones without the M as the hardware makes the bag stands out .
Now the latest one BN1407L , I finally knew what’s the difference !
The zipper is not hidden like BN1407M , it has a huge gold zipper from left to right . Err … not very pretty in real life .
I’m seriously knocking my forehead now ! LOL !
The SA told me there is a BN2475 , is it bigger than BN2393 ?
Knock!
It’s a upgrade version, they always change one thing. With the saffiano tote, they added for the new BN a shoulder strap and less hardware.
I notice with Prada, the higher the BN goes, the bigger the size.
How long will you sis stay in Europe?
Dear sassy.bag
I see lots of tweety birds @ @
Lol!
My sister is in Milan now. Will be back to Paris for her flight home on Monday, 10 June.
Me and my quests for bag. . .
Hi Purelove, finally your quest for the bag has been fulfilled. LOL. When she gets back, you have to upload the bag to the forum to show me.
Dear sassy.bag ,
On 9 June 2013 , there are a 3 Tessuto Gaufre models circling my head , saying ‘pick me , pick me’ .
All at Paris CDG airport .
On 10 June 2013 , I’m devastated .
My sister could not purchase the bag when she arrives at Paris airport from Milan she could not go into the duty free .
She also could not purchase the bag when she departs home as she is in a different terminal , she could not go in the duty free area in a different terminal .
The staff could bring it over , but she can’t pay with credit card , only cash .
She has cash not more than 50 Euros .
Could not withdraw using the credit card as I would need to go to the bank personally to obtain a pin number , the banks are closed at that time in my country .
I am dead …
Your sis do not need to go into the duty free area. She can buy the bag in a boutique and have the tax refund claimed on the airport. This takes only a hour or so in total max.
This is really a sad story. And now? Is she coming back with empty hands?
There are ATM’s in the airport right?
Dear sassy.bag,
The Prada bags that I was looking for is all out of stocks in Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice and Milan boutiques 🙁
I finally found them at the Paris airport store.
Called up and reserved the bag.
Unfortunately, when my sister arrived from Milan , she could not enter the duty free area.
She also could not enter when she departs for her flight home as it was in a different terminal.
The SA said she could only buy the bag in cash, he was helpful enough. She could not use the credit card as she is not in the store.
Unable to withdraw any cash, as I would need to go to the bank personally to obtain a pin number, the card was a supplementary from me she is still a student, could not apply for her own.
Bank was closed at that time in my country.
She indeed returned home empty handed…
It was a very sad journey, but I’m grateful I had you with me all the way.
My deepest gratitude for all your kind efforts and guidance.
Thank you very very much sassy.bag 🙂
Hopefully, there will be another chance…
and I will ‘bug’ you again, LOL !
Hi Jess,
I am really sorry to heard that. You know, were were really excited about you, getting your dream bag. And especially because you had so many opportunities to buy. OMG, we made back-up plans, contact boutiques and…
So many things went wrong, no words to describe your experience.
Oh and yes, she was not able to withdraw cash out of the machine anyway. I had similar experience, it was €1,000 EUR a day. I still can’t understand why the SA couldn’t have it paid through creditcard.
But you can bug me anytime. =D
I read some reviews on the web that says Prada is pretty cheap in Korea – any idea if it’s true? A double zip Saffiano is USD1650.
Also, Prada has opened an outlet store at Paju Lotte Premium Outlet -outskirts of Seoul. Any idea about prices there?
Hi Pat, may I know where you read that?
These are the chinese sites: duty free in seoul
Prada outlet Seoul
Prada outlet Seoul
the prada outlet at seoul is paju lotte premium outlet. Opened mar12
Cheers
Patty
Outlet always sell at lower price, but to find the bag you want depends on the luck. In Europe they have a Prada outlet in florence, if you are lucky enough, you find a bag cost €1,000, price at €400.
Hey girls, do you have any information about outlets in Milan, Italy as well? I really “must have” Prada small Saffiano and I dont know the outlet price and where to find it. Thanks for answer.
Outlets are always full of suprises, but unfortunately I heard that they don’t have saffianos in outlets and sales. Still, you never know, you might want to check it out.
Thank you Alex. Really? Thats a pitty. So can you tell me, what types of Prada are in outlets, if you know? And prices as well. I am going to Milan in september. Thanks a lot.
Radka, this rotate, it hard to say. But if you are lucky enough, you can find a gorgeous bag for 40% less than the retail price.
Hi
May I know what is the price like for prada tessuto gaufre bn1336m at the prada outlet in Florence?
Thanks 😉
I really can’t say how much you will be getting, you have to be lucky. For example: I heard someone has spotted the Prada Tessuto Vitello Daino Bag for 315 EUR, which is really a nice price.
I will be traveling to Florence,Italy this weekend and would like to know if you have heard of the outlet called “The Mall”(http://www.outlet-firenze.com/) or The Prada Outlet located in Florence? If so, are they worth going to?
Yes, I heard about the florence. I also heard that you won’t find any spicey things (good stuff). Are you going there?
Yes, I was planning on it to find some good deals. So it’s not worth going to?
You could try, it’s a good experience, but do not expect anything spectacular. Is it nearby btw?
what do people think of the pumice prada color?
I think the Prada saffiano pumice is a great bag for the summer, goes great with casual.
hi thank you for the above articles, its helps ..i would like to buy the prada handbag but i am not sure which one to buy first.. as this would be my 1st prada handbag i want it to be very special. should i go for gauffre or saffiano or vitello.. and what color should i buy.. i went to the store and have tried everything on but in the end i end up not buying any.. due to confusion.. but one thing for sure next would be channel handbag wuhuu.. can you help me with my first prada handbag pls..
Which one is more attractive for you? Gauffre, Saffiano or Vitello?
If you read all the comments here, it’s all about the saffiano bag. The style is simple gorgeous. It feels chic, it’s practical and the material durable. If you want something to carry on day, night, weekend and that matches most of your outfit, go for the black.
Oh yes, which Chanel are you eyeing on?
I’ve been reading you website for quite sometime… thanks for helping me making a good decision for my first designer bag… I’ve bought PRADA Saffiano Lux bn1786 for Christmas same like Kristine… absolutely love it… worth every cent that i spent… everywhere i go people seems to envy it… next is i’m aiming for Chanel maxi flap…
love love love…
yes yes yes yes!!! Thanks for dropping a sweet comment like this. It gives me power to keep the site running! Congratulation on your new saffiano bag! It’s a gorgeous piece. I am curious, why are you going to choose maxi instead of jumbo or medium?
Thanks for your kind advise. Actually I’m thinking to get a chanel bag too, I’m the confusing to go for classic jumbo flap or medium/large, what do you think? And sadly that chanel just increase their price, do you manage to get the new price? Thanks
To be honest, I haven’t heard any price increase yet. The medium is the most famous pick, but have less space. The jumbo is a bit heavier, comes with a ‘double’ flap, have more space and you can easy structure your stuff inside. Picking the right size sometimes have to do with your height and personal preference. How tall are you btw?
Actually my friend was told by a reseller here (malaysia) that chanel price was increased, we have no idea how accurate the news is… Hope the price can hold till next month as I’m getting my friend to help me to get a chanel bag during her vacation in France for the coming mid of April.. I’m only 157cm, just adore the jumbo classic bag thought my height should go for medium right… 😀
Did you tried the jumbo on already? I have seen girls with your height carrying a jumbo and I think it’s cute. The size between jumbo and medium is just a tiny difference, as long as you don’t walk around with a MAXI!! =P
Thanks for your advise… Need some “professional” advice from you on the sizes… I’m 157cm,48 kg… Should I go for bn1801 or the classic size bn2274?? Thanks again 😀
My honest opinion: The bn1801 will be better for you considering your height, because bn2274 is bigger. I have seen some people purchasing bn2274, only to end up changing it back to bn1801. But you should try both sizes to see which one feels better.
I just got the Prada Saffiano Lux Double Zip Tote for Christmas and I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
Hi Kristine, congratulations!!! I really adore the Saffiano Lux bag. Which color did you pick?
Hi, I’m thinking to get one too, still not yet make up m mind shud go for double zip or single zip, appreciate if u could provide some suggestion.. N which colour did u pick?
If this is your first Saffiano Lux Tote, I would say go for the black. Black matches almost all outfit and you can carry it every day. My color priority are:
1. Black – match almost all outfits
2. Caramel – The saffiano lux tote is a chic bag and when it comes to chic you need to choose a color that matches the chic style. Caramel gives a calm, assertive feeling. Excellent for work (especially were formal clothes are compulsory )
3. Argilla – a bit mushroom color. Good match with formal clothes too or clothes with darker color. The argilla is an elegant mixed with chic color and matches almost all outfit too.
I haven’t heard that the Saffiano tote have a single zip. Most people who own this bag have double zip.

Was this helpful?
Thanks dear, is really help a lot…probably will go for the black one.. Yes they do have strap with single zip in medium, if I’m not wrong the item code is bn1874.. The size is between bn1801 & bn 2274
Hi Vialan, I saw that the double zip is a bit more popular than the single zip. I did some diggin’ and have read somewhere saying that single zip doesn’t hold it’s shape as good as the double zip. You want to take that in mind when purchasing.
Do you have an idea which size you are going to buy?
