Okay, so I wanted to get my hands on this Prada Galleria Saffiano leather bag, the medium-sized one. I’ve been eyeing it for a while, and I finally decided to go for it. Let me tell you, it was quite the process, but totally worth it in the end.
First off, I hit up the official PRADA online store. I mean, that’s where you’d expect to find the real deal, right? Browsed around, found the bag, but, man, the price tag gave me a bit of a shock. I knew it wouldn’t be cheap, but still, it was a hefty chunk of change.
So, I thought, “Okay, let’s explore other options.” I started digging around online, looking for pre-owned options. Found a couple of sites that claimed to be “South Africa’s largest luxury reseller” – seemed legit. They had a bunch of PRADA stuff, including handbags and shoes, even some accessories like a “White Gold T Diamond Turquoise Wire Bracelet”, whatever that is. The prices were definitely better than new, but I was still a bit hesitant. Buying a luxury bag online without seeing it in person? Risky business.
Then I stumbled upon this “Re-Edition 1978 tote bag.” It was a different style, made from “recycled nylon/Saffiano leather” and had an “enamel triangle logo.” Looked cool, but it wasn’t the Galleria I was after. Plus, it was still pretty expensive.
I kept searching and found something about a “Remake” mission – something about “human rights and climate justice in the clothing industry.” Apparently, a ton of garments are made each year and thrown away quickly. Interesting, but not really what I was looking for at that moment.
Finally, I found a post somewhere, it was talking about the PRADA Small Galleria Saffiano Special Edition Bag, and the author called “ldsf125303” said that it was a classic style and worth the investment. It mentioned that it was posted on “2024-12-22” which is in the future. It seems to be a blog or something. I don’t know. They mentioned “This here Prada bag”. Well this got me thinking.
After all that, I decided to go back to the official store and do more research. I mean, if I’m dropping this much cash on a bag, I want to make sure it’s the real deal and exactly what I want.
The Final Decision
I read a ton of reviews, watched some videos, and compared prices one last time. Finally, I just went for it. Clicked “add to cart,” filled in my details, and hit that “purchase” button. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but also exciting.
A few days later, the package arrived. I carefully opened it, and there it was – my very own PRADA Galleria bag. It was beautiful, even better than I imagined. The leather was so soft, and the craftsmanship was impeccable.

So, yeah, it was a bit of a journey, but I’m so happy with my purchase. This bag is definitely an investment piece, and I know I’ll be using it for years to come. It’s not just a bag, it’s a statement. And honestly, it feels pretty darn good to finally have it in my hands.
