Looking for Prada handbags?  You’ve got to know where to find them.

This company is so exclusive that they’re too cool for their own website.

I mean they have a website but it’s like a splash sceen and that’s all there it to it.  They don’t need to toot their own horn.  And if you have to ask how much, you probably can’t afford it (unless you’re lucky enough to be reading this, in which case we’ll point you to a couple of great sources of discounted Authentic Prada at the end of the page!)

You will be happy to hear that Prada handbags is still in the family.  Mario Prada founded the company to sell upscale leather accessories in 1913.

Prada managed to branch out his company with women’s and men’s clothes as well as shoes, glasses, and more recently makeup.  His granddaughter, Miuccia (Miu Miu) with her husband, Parizio Bertelli, has brought Prada into the 21st century with their out-of-this-world look for the super wealthy.  If you’re wearing Prada, you’ve made it.

Prada’s current handbag collections include their runway handbags, their spring fashion bags, their spring nylon bags, and their resort bags.

Prada’s runway handbags offer very crisp lines with impeccable tailoring.  Pick up the Crocodile Buckle Satchel for $11,350.00.  If Crocodile is not your cup of tea, you can get a Calfskin Bowler for $1,395.  Of the more unusual shapes this season is the Vitello Buoio Shoe EW Shoulder Bag ($1365).

Heading to the beach?  Then you must get a small beach tote in either purple or orange.  I’m nost sure how pratical suede is for the beach, either, I’m afraid ($840).

These bags are so popular that Neiman Marcus puts a limit to how many Prada pieces you get to order in a three months’ time!  You’re on a Prada ration.  Thank goodness that Neiman Marcus isn’t as rigorous as Florida is with their registered voters.

And I’m sure your dear Uncle Albert, rest his soul, would not mind you using him to get yourself just one more piece of Prada for your collection.

For Prada’s spring fashion bags, you’ll find an eclectic combination of bold geometric prints with sunny colors such as yellow, orange, and pink. Pick up a canvas tote for $940.00 or a smaller Canvas bowler for $770.00.  Their straw bags in this line are also fresh with bold leather trim in white and pink ($1235.00).

If you want something a little more exotic, pick up the straw and ostrich totes for $1730.00 to $2090.00.

If you want something smaller, go for a ruched python belt bag in blue or fuchsia ($1895.00) or a small calfskin tote ($790.00).

If you just gotta have a Prada but don’t know how you’re going to come up with the money, then look no further than their spring nylon bags.  This line is for you.  You can pick up a refreshingly simple handbag in black, pink, or orange.  Shapes include small hobo ($280.00), a mid-sized hobo ($450), a small nylon messenger ($295.00) or a nylon shopper ($395.00).

Finally, if you want something that nobody else will have, look at Prada’s Resort line.  These are the purses you take with you when you’re out for pleasure and not business.  You can pick up a chain tote ($640.00) or go with a diamond brocade clutch ($495).

If you find that you’d rather invest in your 401k than in a Prada purse (or maybe your family won’t let you do otherwise), then look into Prada’s sportsline, Miu Miu.  You might find their handbags a little more moderately priced (although technically they’re still a luxury item at $495 to $ 695).
