Usage the wallet? I've never put the wallet at the back pocket. Even if it's a wear and there, it should be outside the wallet. But the colour fade is just inside the wallet, at the coin compartment. I believe it's card friction, from the looks.

I'm not bringing back to the Prada store as i was trying my luck for the one-to-one exchange. Irregardless, i was quite disappointed with the fact that they mentioned that the marks were irrelevant and did not want to repair the wallet. It was inconvenient for me to go back all the way to Rome and expensive to send back. I emailed Prada support about the situation and they told me to send it to the nearest Prada store.

I understand that i did not qualify for the 2 weeks exchange policy. But the card marks shouldn't be there in the first place. It's probably a sign of a defect and they should acknowledge it and offer me a solution. Hmm..even if i go ahead with repairs, it's probably going to cost a lot.

My last resort is to send it for cleaning, i read reviews from mybagspa.com. Do any of you guys recommend that?

Frankly speaking I don't think it's that serious, it's normal wear and tear IMO.

No point repairing because down the road, the same thing will happen too.

Hmm..i see what you mean. But i've been using for like a month only. It's just gonna get worse i guess. I'll avoid Prada wallet next time and obviously avoid brown and maybe go for a black one instead.

Bro, I remember you. Are you sure you did not use the wallet at the back pocket? You posted at other forum that you did.

well it seems to me that the defect here is more like wearing off the colour coating of the saffiano leather and it seems like the friction caused was rather great in order to create the mark as shown on the coin flap.

nonetheless its part and parcel of wear and tear, for me i will only stick to black for their saffiano items too as the colour coating will eventually drop/fade off after usage. my grey saffiano wallet already at the corners all wear off liaoz with almost comin 1 year of usage since Sept last year.

Shoe box have two types (as what i know of).

One is the big sized version of the normal dark blue color prada box (the box given when you buy wallets or card holder). This type i guess u need to buy those dress shoes or oxford shoes over $1K region. So far i only have one of this box. However i also have another similar box but in gray/silver color version. I think this is for my loafers which i bought but is below $1000.

Other is the normal one which is gray/ silver color. Material wise is plastic i think. I guess this is for the sneakers.

The items inside include shoe bag, leather care card, stuff papers, and of course the shoes itself. BTW there is no authenticity card for the shoes.

Sorry no pics from me cuz the shoe boxes all are at my old place.

The silver box is older version actually, current version is the dark blue. I bought 2 loafers all the same box.

older version??? So your loafers all is blue box?
Hmm the blue color i got it 2 yrs ago and the silver one, i got it just last july or aug?? So now is phased out for silver? Maybe different collection. I also cant really remember what shoe did i buy to come with that silver box.

I think the blue one should be the classic box.

Formal leather shoe box

Sneaker shoe box

 

[Darkangle]

This is the older box

This is the dark blue box

Maybe yours is the latest box? Cos mine bought in may still the blue box.

Yes my shoe box in the 2nd pic is the same as the one in your first pic.

The 2nd blue box is the classic one which i mentioned earlier. I believe this is only for dress shoes. Maybe other bros can confirm.
