Seeing them in a Prada store, where everything is so clean and pristine, and then seeing Hippie-Craft-Fair, they really do look horrible. Even in Green/Blue, they just look bad.

They are offered in all black and black/brown combo as well on the Prada e-store. Zoom in on the photos there and you will see they are actually very, very well made, not craft project at all. Interesting, they don’t have this combo on the e-store, maybe boutique only?

I like the first one, but the other two just look a bit arts and crafty for me. But clearly the best thing about this post is seeing Nicole Kidman look like a movie star again in that first photo after her unfortunate last couple outings.

A complete and total YEA!! I hope they make some messenger bags for men in this collection, I would spring for that. It’s a great, colorful look without the real risk of being outdated or trendy in a year. Reminds me slightly of the LV tiny tone on tone squares collectiion they did a few years back that still looks great anywhere.

Jacqueline Wessel

LOVE these bags but most likely would never carry one. For one, Prada is out of my budget range. Two, I prefer a solid bag so there isn’t a pattern clash that has to be resolved before I leave the house. (Although, these would look great with my black winter coat. Too bad about that budget…sigh!). Finally, I’ve always found these woven leather goods to be quite heavy so I tend to stay away from them. I’m in New York City and commute by foot and subway so I try to keep my bag as lightweight as possible without looking cheap of course.

I like orange, I like black–I love the color combination. Not a fan of that tight weaving, or the shapes of any of these. And they make me think of candy corn. Nay.

A Yea with reservations – I’d like it in lighter, brighter colors, not so keen on the orange and black. A lot of people have posted various craft projects that they remind them of. My first thought when I saw the purses was those pot holders that I used to weave out of little cotton loops on a small square loom thingie. (I always used to like to do mine in hot pink and black, but that was in my Barbie days.)

Cassie Gentry

Gotta say nay…if that didn’t have a Prada label on it, no one would be caught dead with this 10-year-old’s craft project.

I like the smallest version of the bag, but the pattern is just too small for the scale of the larger two. I get the Halloween critique, but it doesn’t bother me here.

If you were asking me whether I would pay Prada prices for these though? Hell no.

Orange is one of my favorite colors, but I think they’re kind of ugly when looking at them up close and alone. When the women are carrying them, though, they look pretty stylish, especially Nicole and Jessica. I think I gotta go with YEA on this one.

NAY. I don’t mind the Halloween colors or the weaving individually, but when you put them together it looks TICKERY TACKERY. The artsy/craftsy aesthetic falls into two categories for me. There’s the vintage-y homemade look, and then there’s the ‘this is a bad decision I made on Etsy; turns out it was made by a 12 year old at camp.’ This bag is the latter.

I say YEA–don’t like it personally, but have to say it adds interest and style to Nicole Kidman’s look in that first shot. She would look quite ordinary otherwise (and why shouldn’t she–she’s at the airport), and the bag kicks it up a notch.

Nay! This has summer craft project written all over it.
*Bad colours. This ain’t Halloween. Put your brooms away.
*The weaving seems really sloppy. Are we sure this is Prada or did they all get ripped off with some Downtown LA Prado?
*Sizing is off. Nicole’s looks like a plastic sports bag from afar, all shes missing is a water bottle. And Uma’s apparently carrying around like five dogs in there.
*What is this made of? ‘Cause it looks like plastic. And dammit, if I’m paying for a plastic bag, it better be hella cute.
Just buy the better version from those Central American native tribes.

Nay. Agree with the fugly-craft-project comments. It looks like something I would have made when I was four, at day camp, on the potholder board. And why is it called the “Madras” bag? What about this bag has anything to do with the city in India?

And the version Uma is carrying does look like it should have chihuahuas in it.

Anonymous

Madras is used as a fancy word for orange. It’s the “proper” name for a vodka and OJ, too.
- Anonymous
  
  I didn’t know madras referred to color! I always thought it had to do with patterns common to the Madras area in India, particularly plaid. Color makes sense, though, especially in conjunction to the drink of vodka, OJ and cranberry (just vodka and OJ is a Screwdriver).

Neither yea nor nay. More along the lines of “Why not?” We’ve all seen worse.

I never went to camp or became a girl scout, so I have no reference point for that. I love the one Nicole is carrying. Realistically, I’ll never have one, but in my dreams, I’d wear the hell out of it.

YEA. I think it’s a very fun bag and makes every single one of those celebrities’ outfits look more interesting. And as for the Halloween color comments, they are just two colors. Why should a holiday dictate color dos and don’ts in fashion? Why not pair them together? And it’s a bag, not a gown or something, which I feel would be a little more difficult to pull off in orange and black.

It’s so weird reading this blog as a fashion student…they tell us to make these crazy original designs, but any time something with the slightest bit of personality or edge shows up on this blog, especially accessories, the commentariat get vicious. Although, something tells me these bags are made for people who can buy so many bags that they tire of the boring, sensible ones, and go for something more interesting.

Good observation. But while I loved Austin’s cornhusk dress on Project Runway, I certainly wouldn’t wear it. I think you and these celebrities are doing conceptual, while the majority of people think pretty and practical.

I love them (except for the middle/Uma one – don’t like the shape). They’re fun and bright, but the black tones them down enough that they’d go with lots of things. I don’t get all the hate – these bags are definitely a bit more on the crafty-looking side than most, but they still come across as polished and fashionable. I wouldn’t(/couldn’t!) pay what these cost to own one, but I like looking at them, and I think they contribute to each of the outfits above (except Uma’s – that one really does bug me!).
