So, I’ve been obsessed with those Prada Cleo bags, you know, the ones that have been all over Instagram and TikTok. I mean, seriously, who hasn’t seen them? I heard they first dropped in 2020, during Prada’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection. Anyway, I wanted one, but those things are pricey! So, I thought, why not try to find a remake?
I started digging around, spending hours scrolling through online shops. There are so many places selling bags, it’s kinda nuts. They got all kinds of bags out there. Eventually, I stumbled upon some sites that had what looked like pretty good Cleo remakes. Prices were all over the place, from like $100 to over $4,000. Yeah, I know, crazy range.
I also checked out some second-hand options. I mean, some of them were actually in pretty good shape. They are almost the same as the new ones. I finally went to the physical store and found out the price of the genuine bag, and my goodness, it was really expensive! One was listed for $2,100, another for $2,800, and another for just $1. I have no idea what that last one was about, but it definitely wasn’t the real deal.
But after doing all this research and checking out all these options, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a remake. And you know what? I’m pretty happy with it! It looks super close to the original, at least to me.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I got my hands on a Prada Cleo remake. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it in the end.
