That Prada, you know, that fancy bag, I hear folks talking about it. They say it’s some kinda special edition, this Prada Galleria Saffiano, whatever that means. I seen pictures, looks kinda nice, I guess. But who needs such a fancy thing? Not me, that’s for sure.
They call it “small,” but it looks big enough to me. Could probably fit a whole chicken in there, maybe two! And what’s this “Saffiano”? Sounds like some kinda fancy word for leather. Back in my day, leather was leather. We didn’t have all these fancy names for it. I reckon this Prada bag is made in Italy, that’s what them fancy folks like, stuff from Italy. They say it’s special, like it’s better than anything else.
This Prada Galleria bag, I hear it is all leather and stuff. Well, I had a leather bag once. Lasted me a good long while. Didn’t cost me an arm and a leg, neither. This Prada bag, I bet it costs more than my old cow did! And for what? Just to carry your things around? Seems silly to me.
I don’t know where these specialty stores are. Probably not around here. We only got one store in town, and they sell everything from nails to flour. They don’t have no fancy Prada bags. Just regular bags, the kind that get the job done. This is a remake, I think that means they made it again, but different. Why not just keep it the same? If it was good the first time, why change it? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Some folks, they like to have the latest and greatest. They gotta have the newest thing, even if it ain’t any better than the old thing. Me, I’m happy with what I got. Don’t need no fancy Prada Small Galleria Saffiano Special Edition bag to make me happy. This Saffiano leather, they say it’s special. They put some kind of coating on it, make it all tough and what not. Maybe it’s good for keeping the rain out. But my old leather bag did just fine in the rain. Just gotta let it dry out good.
They keep changing these bags, I hear. Every year, it’s something new. How’s a body supposed to keep up? And why should we? A good bag is a good bag, no matter what year it was made. This special edition, it’s probably just a way to get folks to spend more money. Make ’em think they’re getting something extra special. They like to say Italy is the cheapest place to buy it, but cheap ain’t the word I’d use.
- They say the inside of a real Prada bag has a little tag.
- Some are ceramic, some are leather.
- If it’s plastic, it ain’t real. That’s what I hear.
- They say they make a lot of these bags in Italy, but also some in China, especially the shoes, but I don’t know what to believe anymore.
I seen some folks carrying those Prada bags around. They walk around like they’re some kinda royalty. Like that bag makes ’em better than everyone else. It’s just a bag, people! Get over yourselves! These specialty stores that sell Prada, they’re probably all fancy too. All white and shiny, with those skinny girls working there. They probably look at you funny if you walk in wearing your regular clothes.
Leather is leather, that’s what I say. This Saffiano leather might be a little different, but it still comes from a cow. They just do something to it to make it look all fancy. They say it’s “full-grain” or something. They treat it and press it, I don’t know. They also say the thickness can be different. And they use different animal skin. Back in my day, we didn’t worry about all that. We just used what we had. This remake of the Prada bag, they probably used all the new fancy ways to make leather. But I bet it ain’t any stronger than the old way.
I reckon some folks will always want these fancy things. They’ll always be chasing after the next Prada Small Galleria Saffiano Special Edition bag. But not me. I’m happy with my old, plain bag. It carries my things just fine. And that’s all that matters. No need for all that fancy stuff. Just a good, strong bag that gets the job done. That’s all a body really needs. This Prada Galleria, it’s just a lot of fuss over nothing, if you ask me.
