I’m not a fan of pink or pink like colors – I’ve told you guys that, right? But there’s an exception to every rule, be it about clothes, shoes, or Prada handbags. The Prada Soft Calf Bowler makes yet another pink purse I like. However, this one is really raspberry, so I don’t think it should really count against me.

I don’t think there’s anything about this bag that I don’t absolutely love. It’s one of Prada’s fall runway bags, and considering the color palette for this season, it’s easy to see why. Of course, it’s plain to see that it’s more than just the color which makes this bag such a hot item on the runway. The details are nothing less than dazzling. There is just something rich and elegant about this bag – but at $1,295.00 from Neiman Marcus, it’s actually one of the more affordable Prada bags around.

But let’s leave the tedious subject of coin alone for a while, and talk about aesthetics, shall we? Notice that all the accents and details are done up in silver – a perfect complement to the subtle raspberry color. And, considering how loud raspberry can be, the designers here deserve some props for keeping it understated and classy. In fact, I think that’s a perfect description for the bag itself. I think you guys can figure out the verdict on your own – I’m off to devise some schemes so I can actually afford this.
