Is it just me, or is just about everyone doing bags in fabric these days? Whether it’s Tod’s Pashmy Stripe or Burberry’s Buckleigh, I’m guessing brands have realised the importance of pushing out lower-priced editions in order to keep customers buying and more importantly, keep themselves afloat. With that in mind, Prada has recently launched the Vela collection, which in my opinion does not sacrifice style and yet is relatively affordable.

Take the Prada Vela + Coccodrillo Tote (shown above) for example. Trimmed with crocodile handles, it retails for SGD1410.

But if that is still too much for you, fret not. Without the exotic trim, it retails for only SGD800. A slightly smaller size is also available, at SGD750. Best thing, the Prada Vela Tote comes in 4 different colours (from left to right), Nero, Baltico, Cerise and Rovere.

Here’s another look at the Velo collection, the Prada Vela + Coccodrillo Tote on the left, and the regular Prada Vela Tote on the right, which are both in Rovere.

Here are 2 more, but in Cerise. Stunning yet affordable, it’s a combination that will see them flying out of the boutique as soon as it’s stocked. They are also unisex, something both the ladies and guys can enjoy. I am not done with the collection just yet, there are loads more to introduced to you guys so stay tuned for more updates.
