Have you seen the latest woven Prada purses? Kinda like more structured Bottega…
Last week at the Prada luncheon at Saks, Steven Fritsch (the Prada accessories manager who is fabulous as you would expect) introduced me to the new collection with the first “Made in India” labels. Very limited run so it’s a very big deal of course.
Here’s the deal. Most of their leather comes from India all the time and is shipped to Italy for manufacturing, hence the “Made in Italy” label. But now they’re ditching the shipping and high labor costs and simply constructing the bags in India. They save some major money and guess what, charge us more for the “exclusive.” Brilliant!
