Provided the item is also available in sg? Or else the "exchange rate" will not be favourable?

yes. Follow the price in Spore

if u buy from europe $250 and spore sell $370, they take the price $370. U can choose any items with value $370 and top value if the item u select is higher.

yes i remember there is a time limit.... but i forgot how long will it be.. IIRC its one month.

if no time limit, i would have taken my new wallet to change. But i think if u ask nicely, as long as it is new, they might change it.

the only bad thing is that the SA in prada ION changed.... i missed those days where the SA are locals.....

Thanks. I guess the important factor is the item must also be avail in sg, otherwise the equivalent value given to u can be arbitrary and i imagine probably not in your favour.

U get higher equivalent value on the exchange but the things u exchange/top-up also will then be at the sg pricing, so it evens out i guess...

Even if the item is not available in SG, u can order from them. BUT high chance u will not get it. I remembered I want to order something not available in SG and the process is like very troublesome. Of cos if u r prada VIP then different story.

Is anyone using the prada saffiano corner wallet? The rubber lining is starting to crack after 2 months and the leather is starting to peel off. Mine is the caramel colour and the below colour is showing. Are these normal? Can I ask prada to exch/repair?

This is not normal. Saffiano leather is very hardy.

Can try and bring it to prada boutique to check.

cant rem if someone from this thread asked if hk prada outlet is worth it.

found a price comparison on Around the world

Quote below and how to get to the HK PRada outlet with their offers.

Case study on popular 1m1225 Prada Saffiano wallet

So a 1m1225 is Singapore retails at about sgd$720 if my memory does not fail me.

It costs hkd$4100 at the Hk airport (note Hk has no duty to start with, even for downtown boutiques). So that works out to be about sgd$680.

The outlet sells 1m1225 wallet at around sgd$600. That's a saving of $120 compared to Sg price.

Hope this gives you a gauge.

As for the bags, well basically there's a lot of nylon bags for sale at the outlet. It costs around sgd$1000.

Hope this helps!

Just to update. I asked the Prada SA if customers can order products not available in SG. The SA told yes can but need to pay extra 20% of the retail price :s22:
