This is the type of reasoning only a girlfriend can understand – I like this bag because it is the Prada ruffle hobo that I would have loved to see from Prada but this is actually better because it isn’t as ridiculous with the ruffles and has just the right amount of frou. And it doesn’t look like a typical Dolce & Gabbana so that is a definite plus. So it is a bit confusing but nevertheless, I still can’t get myself to buy this bag even though I do like it. Because it is not a Prada. The loose pleats and the flared shape gives it that ruffly feel without actual ruffles. The gold is beautiful and altogether this is a good practical everyday bag. My only other reservation is the rolled shoulder strap, those tend to hurt when you overstuff it. Just take that giant tag off. At Neiman Marcus for $1895. Fashion Week update: I am sitting in the tents drinking McCafe Latte while working – we are visiting a lot of bag showrooms this week as well so we will bring you the latest in bags as we get to them!
