New Prada Tessuto Gauffre Bow Tote

Bagaholic Babe has always been a fan of the Tessuto Gauffre range by Prada. If you're not exactly sure about what I'm talking about, it's the ruched range in nylon, that was launched in 2007, right after the nappa gauffre range. Because of its popularity, what was initially intended to be a seasonal collection has now become very much a part of Prada's classic collections that appear every season. The only difference? The colours and minor details on the bag but keeping the general ruched look of the bag. So yes, anything 'gauffre' means ruched, in Prada terms. Take a look at this beauty below.


Prada Tessuto Gauffre Bow Tote

If you're an avid Prada fan like myself, you'd notice that the theme for Prada this year (as seen in their Spring/Summer 2008 Collections) and now in their Fall/Winter Collections are rosette details or bow details on the bag. Keeping to their 'bow' detail theme, the Tessuto Gauffre Tote now comes with a small bow detail in leather, thus adding a more feminine touch to the bag, compared to other bags from their Tessuto Gauffre range that have a more casual look to it. Similarly, like all Tessuto Gauffre bags, this top handle tote comes with a detachable leather shoulder strap. A noticeable difference is the PRICE of this bag, which is much cheaper than bags from the Tessuto Gauffre range. This Bow tote is a steal at just $720!
