All right, everybody. This is another one of those Prada handbags with which I need some help. This is the Prada Leather Patch Bowler bag in dark brown, and I absolutely cannot decide whether I like it or not.  I think I do?  But I really, really could be wrong.  I just can’t tell.  So tell me: is this fab or is it a huge, gelatinous pile of flub?

On the one hand, you absolutely cannot deny the fact that it is immaculately crafted.  The design is perfect, the stitching is flawless — I mean, this bag is beautifully put together.  The design itself is both intricate and interesting.  The way the pieces of leather are stitched together catches the eye and keeps it — but because there are so many shapes, the eye does not risk getting bored either.

On the other hand, this Prada purse is really … busy.  There are so many embellishments.  Tabs and stitches and straps and buckles and studs — it’s just all so much!  I mean, yeah, it’s beautifully put together, but I just reconcile all of the separate pieces together.  They don’t really mesh well for me.  I don’t thing they transition very smoothly.

So help me out, guys.  What’s your verdict?  Is this bag a winner or a wiener?  Uh … sorry, I couldn’t think of any other alliterations.
