Prada Resort Collection for Spring/Summer 2007

Remember the ruched Prada Nappa Gauffre that was seen on celebs' such as Victoria Beckham, Madonna and Hilary Duff? (see below for photos). Many of us couldn't get our hands on them as they were waitlisted for the longest time, and along with all waitlisted bags, they came along with a hefty price tag. For Malaysians out there, the Nappa Gauffre is still avaliable in the Prada boutique at KLCC. However, they range from RM$8000+-RM$10,000+. So there's still an opportunity to grab em!



Prada Fall Winter '06 Nappa Gauffre

And for those of you who, for whatever reasons couldn't get the Nappa Gauffre from the Prada Fall Winter '06 collection featured in the photo above, you can get a more affordable version from Prada's latest Resort and Cruise Spring-Summer '07 collection. It launches in the middle of December at the Prada KLCC boutique.

It's made from Prada's signature rip-proff tessuto nylon (thus only weighing a fraction compared to that of the Nappa Gauffre from Fall/Winter '06) and comes in bright and pretty candy colours such as Fire engine Red, Midnight Blue, Canary Yellow, Tangerine, Dark Green, Fuschia and White -- all with ruched tessuto nylon. However, As can be seen from the photo above, it comes with woven leather handles and trimmings, and comes with an adjustable long strap so that one can sling it over the shoulder or wear it messenger-style. Or, if you prefer, you can tote it around on your arm. What more could one ask for?! *winks*

It is available in 3 different sizes - small, medium and large.
The small is perfect for evening use or clubbing - For convenience, just attach the long adjustable leather strap and you can start dancing the night away!) It measures 8 inches in length and 1.5inches in depth.
The medium measures approx 15-16inches in length and 3-4inches in depth.
Retail price (USA)$1300-1650
Retail price (Malaysia) RM$3000-4000 for the small, and RM$5000-6000 for the medium
Retail price (Hong Kong) HK$12500 for the large
