In today’s video, I compare my latest Prada outlet visit — where the leather quality shocked me — with my own vintage Prada collection, some over 15 years old.
My 85-year-old Nonna Donata treats bags roughly and still, the leather on these vintage Prada pieces looks like new. That’s the kind of quality we’re missing today.
Highlights in this video:
- Tuscan Mustard Prada Bag – timeless leather that’s aged beautifully.
- Dolce & Gabbana Silver Bag – vintage craftsmanship that feels far superior to modern pieces.
- Three-Color Dolce & Gabbana Bag – stylish, durable, and cost me less than many new fast-fashion “luxury” bags.
- The History of Prada Bags – how they started with high-quality synthetics (perfect in the rain) before moving into leather, and why their DNA has changed over time.
The big question: Why are iconic Italian luxury brands now producing leather bags that feel like ZARA fast fashion?
If you love handbags and care about craftsmanship, you’ll want to see this comparison.
