- Is this bag good for daily work use?
- Yes, if you carry light. The zip closure and inner pocket suit a commute, but the bag is heavier and smaller than a tote, so it is not ideal for laptops or bulky items.
- How does it compare with Prada's nylon bags?
- The leather version looks more formal and holds its shape better. Prada's nylon styles are lighter and more casual, and they carry more for the same footprint.
- Can it be worn crossbody?
- No. It is a top-handle bag with no shoulder strap, so it is carried in the hand or on the forearm.
- What fits inside?
- A phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small pouch fit comfortably. A tablet or a large water bottle will not.
- Is the hardware real gold?
- No. It is gold-tone metal, standard for Prada hardware, and it is plated rather than solid gold.
- How should I care for the leather?
- Keep it dry, store it in its dust bag and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid prolonged sun and rain, and have it professionally cleaned for marks.
- Where is the Prada Elegant Black Leather Handbag cheapest?
- At Balardi, for $2,261.00, as of our latest check.
