Prada Freak Thread

[Darkangle]

I'm looking for a tote bag for gym & toiletry bag.
The sales items not much for guys after all?

Hey bro!

Nahh...not so much usually. Might as well buy from Those who bring in from overseas or order from those going Europe.

Hi Hi!
Not so much then no choice already.
I went Milan last month, the bag which I looking for was either not carry in that boutique or sold out.
The price in SG & Italy different about S$700.

Oh man...wasted. You toured around europe or just went to milan?

Just Milan, for business trip.
Now starting to regret why I don't buy the Prada Toiletry bag during the trip.

it doesn't close like a normal wallet with cards and a few notes inside. i usually only a few notes and all the cards slot filled up

it looks like this (even if i take out the bunch of notes at the side. it still doesn't close) mine is the mini bifold version.

Does the Singapore $50 fit into the 2M0912 models properly? As in it does not stick out of the wallet? As I know some smaller wallets are only able to fit shorter US and Japanese currency.

a $50 bill could be possible but a beri tight fit as there isnt much allowance/space left once its filled up with cards and bills.

MIC Prada bags on the rise...

[hwaa]

so the made in china tag, its still authentic?

 

[GamerZ]

****h how come prada so high end also MIC

 

[hwaa]

SG still the cheapest in this part of the world, if there are any slight px difference, its most likely due to ex-rate conversions only. if not, you can buy at Changi Airport duty free and save 7% gst but you need to buy before your outbound flight.

miumiu will be cheaper in hk due to the exchange rate. hk exchange rate is really good now!

yesh, the owner of the bag ish welly unhappy about it, chiu ish can read more in TPF.

****h how come prada so high end also MIC

haha its just a matter of time all other brands will follow suit as they are now ran in similar fashion with each other, as a Business entity to increase profit margins year on year and be answerable to their shareholders.

well if chiu asked me, i would say yesh...

an extraction from an article on "Made in Italy"

But what exactly does the 'Made in Italy' brand mean?

It means a product that is entirely made in Italy, from the design and working out on paper, up till the product is made, finished and ready for sale.
The Made in Italy name ought to denote the actual and total provenance and production in Italy of the article that bears its name; 'ought' because unfortunately in many cases this is not so.
In fact, many products can carry the Made in Italy name even when they are almost entirely made abroad!

According to article 24 of the European Customs Code (Reg EEC 2913/1992), a product which has been made in two or more countries is considered to originate in the country where the final transformation or substantial work took place.

This means that if an article is produced 70% abroad and 30% in Italy (in the case of a handbag the 30% could correspond more or less to the attaching of the handles and the brand's logo) such an article could be labelled as Made in Italy. However even more shocking is that even an article that has been entirely produced abroad could bear the Made in Italy label, if it has been commissioned by a firm that is based in Italy.

expected...the term "made in italy" is use like words like premium, quality fabric etc. losses its meaning alrdy, juz become another word. well, brands these days r more into profits/businesses, no longer about quality and their heritage.

ps: i do nt mean that all mic products are low quality but m actual tryin to say that in terms of craftsmanship, tailoring mii is much better after all quality is wad brands r well known for..aren't they?

well notch for long i think? sooner or later they will need to ans to their shareholders, then will hab to relocate their factories to AT land sooner or later, for now i think some parts of LV's shoes are made in india and so ish Prada's latest woven weaved bags

for moi, craftsmen ship ish welly important, if that one CMI, made in space oso ish no use.

this MIIndia collection ish one of Miuccia Prada's colloboration projects with various craftsmen around the world, there ish Made in Peru, Made in Scotland, Made in Japan etc etc.

anyway something else interesting to read... Chinese Labourers in Florence churning out Leather Goods
