The Prada Saffiano Lux Tote bag is extremely high quality and the leather pick is made in such a way that makes the bag durable. I have bought the bag for a year or so now and never have any big scratches, damages or even maintenance need. I am a very careful person, but looking at other bag I owned, some have few bad scratches that I wished they never had.
The Prada Saffiano Lux Tote is a very comfortable bag en there is even enough room inside to carry a few extra books if you need to. The bag is made of soft, stamped leather. The ‘logo prada’ is printed on the top and center of the bag (which I think is the most important thing when you buy a bag that cost more than thousands of dollars).
The bag comes in colors like Black, White, Caramel, Black, Graphite, Green and even Copper. I think the color black or white is beautiful for the first pick (if you are buying for the first time), these two colors are GORGEOUS and match any style. But IF you have already few black or white colored bags, then picking another color is better. I recommend caramel or argilla.
If you look carefully at the bag, it is actually made for career woman with a busy life style. I am not saying that the bag cannot be an everyday use, IT CAN. However, if you buy the medium size, then you can take your Apple Macbook or your A4 documents with you. I love the idea of having an Apple in the Saffiano Lux bag!
The bag is priced start at price around $1,800. I think it is an excellent price for the value you get. But then you need to pick one that you truly love.
What do you think about this bag and which colors would you pick?
Wow, I’m so glad there is always info from here. The coco rider looks nice too, but not sure if it is available in Malaysia. But still prefer easy flap that similar to classic flap :p
Have you seen the crave bag yet? It’s introduced since the last season, check it out here: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-cc-crave-flap-bag-presenting-our-new-love/
I think you will have more chance hunting this one.
I saw the crave but I don’t like it. I prefer easy flap than the crave bag 🙂
Oke, lets us know if you can find it =)
Hi, I’m new here. I would like to get my first prada or chanel bag. Do u think prada saffiano is better or chanel flap bag? I like both but I don’t know which to buy….
Hi ST,
First it depends on your budget. The saffiano is cheaper than the Chanel classic bag. (except if you choose seasonal bags like the easy bag). If this is your FIRST designer bag (or first Prada or Chanel), I would recommend the a classic version:
Priority 1: Chanel classic flap bag
Priority 2: Prada saffiano tote
But if you want to pick between Chanel seasonal bag or the Prada saffiano, I would recommend the saffiano first. You can find more prices here of Chanel classic bags: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-bags-prices/
So what do you think?
Hi Alex, thanks for your reply and suggestion 🙂 Both are my first designer bag. My budget is around 8k MYR or less. Not sure if the budget able to get any Chanel flap bag (not classic). How about the saffiano? Do you have any idea what is the price? For the small/medium tote? Thanks 😉
The saffiano tote is in your budget, you can get one for €1,500 EUR. 8k MYR equals to 1,800 EUR. I saw that you got the price of the easy flap. Do you like the easy flap?
Yeah, i like it, cheaper n similar to classic. Chanel flap is always my first choice but its always so expensive.
Hi ST, I want to introduce to you another bag. It’s also within your budget: http://www.bragmybag.com/chanel-coco-rider-bag/
