Prada Saffiano Wallet

As mentioned previously, I had purchased an item from the consignment shop, jodidayscloset (www.jodidayscloset.com), located in Toronto, Canada. The prices are fixed in Canadian dollars on the website and her Instagram, so don't try bargaining with her to get the price down. The prices are based on the popularity of the item in the luxury market.

What made me decide to get this item? A few factors. The first one was because I've been looking for a similar sized item for a while, but couldn't justify buying it brand new. I didn't need it to be brand new because it was something I would be using everyday, so it was going to wear down regardless. Second, I had a similar one but in a different colour. I sold it a while ago because of a certain douche bag. Hilarious because it was "for his mom" but given to me months prior. Right. Thanks for the free money! Third, I saw the colour and knew I had to get it.

I had hopes I would see it via the consignment route. The item is currently sold out on Prada's website (at least in this colour), and I haven't been shopping at the local malls lately so I don't know if they are really sold out or not in stores. I just kept waiting, and waiting. Lo and behold, I saw it pop up on the site. And lucky for me, it was a colour that could match with my collection! I knew it was the right time. 

It was bought in early 2015 by the previous owner. Condition was 9/10, with some darkened areas around the corners, but overall it was still in very good condition. The leather has softened over time which is great. Hardware has no scratches, still shiny. It came with the original box, bag and authenticity card as well as a receipt. 

So here's my reveal: Prada Saffiano Wallet in Peonia (or peony pink)!

 Comes with the bag, box, authenticity card, and receipt.

 Tada! 

 Holds up to 10 cards, as well as a back compartment and bill compartment.

 The bill compartment. My pet peeve would be that now the bills will come out all folded up versus flat. I like flat bills.

 Comes with coin compartment.

 Reminds me of a diary book for some reason.

 The size comparison between the Prada and Coach long wallet (which I've had for over 3 years).

Finally, my peonia/peony pink collection from Prada.

Hope you enjoy this review/reveal. If you are looking at the consignment route for any luxury items, contact Jodi at jodidayscloset. If you are local, send her a message to say you can pick up locally, and you won't get charged for shipping. Two big thumbs up!

In conclusion, I think I'm a Prada girl. PG!
