This season Prada is showing us what drama means by way of their latest handbag line up. The Prada Fall runway handbag collection includes tried and true classic leather bags with bags that are opulent, eye-catching and quite spectacular.

Prada Tessuto Ricamo Tote ($3695) – With all the sequins on this bag it would definitely weigh a ton if it were leather. However it’s made out of black nylon. It features floral embroidery that is embellished with sequins all over the front of the bag. The double handles are leather and a detachable shoulder strap is included. The size is generous at 16 1/2″H x 15″W x 7″D and the gold hardware definitely stands out. This bag is made to be shown off so if you get it, keep your outfits simple and streamlined.

Prada Velluto Jacquard Tote ($1450) – There are two versions of this bag, Ebano or “midnight” (shown above) and Ruggine L “rust” (almost like a dark red leopard print – not that cute I must say). I prefer the Ebano colour as it is not as ‘loud’ as the other. This tote is embellished with a floral print velvet jacquard pattern with nylon insets and leather trimming. It’s a large bag at 15″H x 14 3/4″W x 7″D so you won’t have to worry about not being able to take everything you “need” with you. Compared to the one above, this tote is a lot more versatile.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the prices, Quite a lot of money, yes? These Prada totes are both extravagant in price and design. However, I would much prefer if they were leather as I feel it would justify the pricing. Although both of the totes above remind me of a couple Valentino bags, it doesn’t detract from their overall style and luxuriousness.

This holiday season, if you want to treat yourself to a new handbag that will get you noticed, these two Prada bags are a great choice. They’re both available at Neiman Marcus.
