Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this Prada Re-Edition 2005 bag for a while. You know, the one inspired by that iconic mini hobo bag? It’s been popping up everywhere, and I finally decided to go for it. I mean, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid rock it, so why not me, right?
First, I spent a good chunk of time browsing online stores. I saw that the bag had become super popular, with the #PradaReEdition hashtag blowing up on TikTok. This just made me want it even more! I noticed that Vestiaire Collective had some second-hand options, which was tempting. They were all labeled as “Brand: Prada” and had these random numbers like “21.02 – 4,” probably some kind of inventory code or something.
Then I checked out Bergdorf Goodman’s site. They had it listed as “Prada Re-Edition 2005 Leather Shoulder Bag” with free shipping, which was a plus. It was also tagged as “Prada” and “Shoulder,” which is pretty obvious, but I guess it helps with searching.
ShopStyle had it too, from a bunch of different retailers, starting at $2. Seemed a bit too good to be true for a real one, so I moved on.
Next up, I looked at Saks Fifth Avenue. They listed it as “Prada Re-Edition 2005 Satin Bag With Crystals,” and it was in stock with free shipping and returns. The “Brand: Prada” and “In stock” tags caught my eye. They also had a thing about signing up for promotions, but I wasn’t really interested in that.
I also found a listing for an “Authentic New Prada Re-Edition 2005 Nylon Bag” that came with a clochette, card, and dust bag. The estimated retail price was $1, which seemed a little off, but maybe it was a typo.
After all that searching, I finally decided to buy it. I found a retailer that I trusted and made the purchase. It took just about a week for the shipping. It arrived nicely packaged, and I was so excited to open it! It looked perfect, and I felt that the quality justified the price. Many of these Prada bags are considered classics and can hold their value over time. It might even become more valuable as it ages. I learned from a luxury resale report that the black Re-Edition shoulder bag was the most purchased bag of 2022!
Now, I carry this bag everywhere. It’s the perfect size, and it goes with pretty much everything. I get compliments on it all the time, and I feel like a million bucks when I wear it. It’s definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made in a while.
