Prada Wallet Review

Hello everyone,

I have some downtime until I have to be at work this evening, so I thought - Hey!  Why not write a blog?! So that's what I'm going to do!

I didn't get much sleep last night.  That AutoCad project took much longer than expected, but lets hope it gets a good grade!  I also thought I had a paper to type that was due tonight, but I just found out that it isn't due until Thursday.  And with my master procrastination skills, it probably won't get done until Wednesday night.

The past few days I've been carrying my Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 40 in Borneo Green.  Green being my favorite color- and the Speedy 40 being my favorite bag, it's safe to say that I love this bag.  The previous owner took very good care of it, and it's almost pristine (aside from a couple minor scratches on the backside).  The date code reads V.I. 0912 -made in France January '92, so some wear is to be expected.  And with it being all leather- it weighs a TON, I don't recommend using Epi leather bags for big shopping trips.

I've also been using my fancy new Prada wallet that I purchased from Saks Fifth Avenue in Chicago last month.  That was such a fun experience!  I hadn't planned on buying anything, and since my Louis Vuitton wallet is so small- this Prada has become the perfect substitute.  

Here is some information from the Prada website:

WALLET

• SAFFIANO CALF LEATHER WALLET
• GOLD-PLATED HARDWARE
• METAL LETTERING LOGO
• TWO SNAP CLOSURE
• TEN CREDIT CARD SLOTS, ONE COIN COMPARTMENT WITH ZIPPER
• L 7.36" H 3.54"

There are plenty of card slots- two zippered compartments, six slots for cash and receipts.  And the Saffiano leather is amazing, as is the gold plated hardware.  My favorite feature is the lining- it's a Moire Faille.  (looks like wood grain) The Saffiano leather is a lot like Louis Vuitton Taiga leather.  Honestly the quality of this wallet is second to none- it makes my Louis Vuitton Zippy wallet look chintzy.   I am very serious when I say, this was some of the best money I have ever spent.  Mine is a sort of deep Burgundy/Bordeaux color- which I don't see on their website anymore.  I think this Prada will be the first of many----  :)

Here is a photo of my Prada wallet, and an interior shot of the wallet from their website:

I suppose with all the previous talk about my Epi Speedy 40- you'll probably want to see photos, so I won't hold out on you guys:

Aside from a "new" phone and the Prada wallet- I'm still carrying all the same things that I had in my Keepall 45, so I won't bore you with another list.

Well I only have a couple more hours before I have to be at work...

Until next time-
