First off, let’s be real, Prada wallets scream “I have my life together… kinda.” Even if you’re secretly subsisting on ramen noodles and your car is held together with duct tape, whipping out a Prada wallet gives off this air of sophistication, right? Plus, they’re just, like, *nice*. The leather feels good in your hand, and that little Prada logo? *Chef’s kiss*.
I saw this ad the other day, The RealReal was hawking Prada wallets for, like, up to 90% off! Nintey Percent! That’s insane! I mean, okay, it’s secondhand, but who cares? Authenticity is guaranteed (they claim, anyway), and it’s a freakin’ Prada wallet for a fraction of the price. Win-win, no? I’m seriously considering snagging one. I’ve always wanted one.
And speaking of authenticating… I dunno, I’m always a little sus of online stuff. Like, how do you *really* know it’s real? Are these “experts” just some dudes in a back room squinting at logos? I guess you gotta trust the process, but still. A little part of me always worries I’m gonna get bamboozled. But hey, gotta risk it for the biscuit, right?
Then you got the whole “black leather” thing. It’s classic. It’s timeless. It goes with everything. I mean, you can’t really go wrong with a black leather wallet, can you? Unless, like, you spill coffee all over it. Then you’re screwed. But that’s your fault, not Prada’s. Just sayin’.
Oh, and I was looking at the official Prada e-store, too, and they had all these wallets for men. Which, okay, cool. But I kinda think women can rock those too, ya know? I mean, who makes these rules anyway? A wallet is a wallet! As long as it holds your cash and cards, who cares if it’s “for men” or “for women”?
And… actually, now that I think about it, a small black leather Prada wallet might be the perfect gift. Like, for a graduation or something. Or even for myself. I’ve worked hard, I deserve it. Seriously, maybe I *should* check out The RealReal again…
