This bag, I tell ya, it’s somethin’ else. They call it the Prada Galleria, whatever that means. And it’s big, real big. Large Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag, that’s the whole mouthful. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Seen it on one of them shiny magazines. This Saffiano leather, they say it’s special. Don’t know what that means either, but it looks tough, like it can take a beatin’.
I heard some folks sayin’ Prada, that’s a big name, some Italian thing. They got factories, big ones, all over Italy, makin’ these fancy bags. This Galleria one, they say it’s made of 83 pieces! Can you believe that? 83 pieces just to make one bag! Imagine puttin’ all that together. Must take forever. And they got all kinds of bags, shoulder bags, them little tiny ones, bucket bags, the kind you hold in your hand, big ones you can stuff everything in, even ones you wear on your back like a school kid. My back wouldn’t take that kind, no sir. This one is for rich folks.
And the colors, oh my! All kinds. This one I saw was kinda shiny, like a new penny. But not too shiny, ya know? Just enough to catch your eye. They say it don’t change much over time. That’s good, I reckon. You want somethin’ that lasts, especially if it costs ya an arm and a leg. They say it’s the official flagship store, so it is real Prada, not fake ones.

They say this full-grain leather, it can be made two ways. Chrome-tanned or vegetable-tanned, some fancy words for ya. Don’t ask me what that means. And the thickness, that depends on what they’re gonna use it for. Different for a bag than for, say, a saddle, I guess. This Prada bag, this Galleria one, they say it’s made for tough, not for pretty.
Now, this Saffiano, it’s real leather, they say. But they do somethin’ to it. Treat it, they call it. And emboss it. Sounds painful, don’t it? But it makes it strong, I guess. It’s real leather, but it ain’t like the leather you see on an old saddle. That old leather gets all soft and marked up over time. This Saffiano, they say it don’t do that. Stays lookin’ new.
Heard some whispers that even though Prada is Italian, they make some stuff in China. Just a little bit, they say. Outsource, they call it. Means they send it over there to be made. Cheaper, I suppose. And they got some workshops in the UK, too. England, that is. Fancy that. Prada bags made in England. Who’d have thunk it?
This bag, though, this Large Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag, it’s somethin’ special. Seen it at Heathrow, that big airport. Terminal 5, they said. Wallis Rd, whatever that is. They got all these fancy stores there, sellin’ all kinds of expensive stuff. And there it was, this bag. Shinin’ under the lights. Looked like a million bucks. Probably costs that much, too.
And then I saw another place, 221 Brompton Road, Knightsbridge. Sounds like a king lives there, don’t it? They sell these bags, too. And they buy ’em from folks, if you got one to sell. They say they got “years of expertise.” Means they know a lot about these bags, I guess. They even got “exotic materials.” Sounds like somethin’ from a jungle. They even can remake it!
So, if you got the money, and you want a bag that’s gonna last forever, and you don’t mind folks knowin’ you spent a fortune, then this might be the bag for you. This Prada Galleria Saffiano thing. It’s tough, it’s fancy, and it’s made to last. Just don’t ask me to explain all them fancy words. I just know it’s a nice bag. A real nice bag, this remake Prada Galleria bag.
I tell ya, this official flagship store sell this Large Prada Galleria Saffiano Leather Bag, it’s somethin’ to see. It ain’t cheap, no sir. But it’s a Prada. And that means somethin’, I guess. Even I know that. And this Saffiano leather, it’s the real deal. Tough as nails, they say. You can carry everything in it. So, if you are looking for a good bag, go to the official flagship store.
