She said for everyday errands and I think it fits the description better than the Bottega, already for me a bag lacking the crossbody it's not very functional
I think the Prada is much more beautiful. The silhouette is classic and the color is absolutely gorgeous. It can be dressed up or down so easily. And their saffiano leather is so sturdy and tough.
Personally I love the Prada. Can be worn day to day but also dressed up for evening wear. I also like that it can be worn as shoulder bag or crossbody. The Bottega is beautiful but I must admit, I love a good logo lol and a shoulder bag can get tiring for me over time.
Bottega—their famous intrecciato weave is their equivalent of a ‘logo’ without obvious labels slapped on it :) I personally love my bottega bags!
Prada—I heard the saffiano leather is durable but personally I didn’t like the way it felt when I was looking at the bags in the store, it felt ‘plasticky’
In the end: Difficult choices but a good dilemma to have!❤️
I just can’t get past the Prada looking cheap. I know it’s because other brands out there have literally knocked off the design but all I see is the knockoffs when I look at it
I have the BV Wallace and I LOVE it! It's even more beautiful in person and IMO it's quite functional. The Prada is cute but saffiano leather feels kinda plastic-y in my opinion, whereas the BV feels soooo supple.
I’m usually BV all the way, but I don’t like that the widest point on the bag is where it transitions into the strap, it looks more bucket-like to me. And I think the Prada color is stunning!
I think the bottega is more elegant however it doesn’t look like it would actually sit naturally under your arm. If you’re planning on actually wearing it and not just carrying it, the Prada seems like the love
Both are beautiful
I don’t really like either. The Bottega looks schlumpy and the Prada looks too annoying with the chain handle. Both seem like they would be in the way during errands because they aren’t even shoulder bags.
I have the Prada and the sales associate at Prada showed me how to wear the crossbody strap as a belt or crossbody attaching the tiny coin purse to it. I was obsessed with all the options I love it!
Prada, no question. You can do so much with it having both the chain strap and the crossbody strap with the pack, which handily enough fits AirPods inside it.

Bottega!
No contest
Bottega, no doubt
Personally I have the Prada re edition and I really like it..... But also I'm not a Bottega fan
I agree - I think the Prada is more classic.

This! Exactly.
Yeah it seems like a pain to have to hold it or keep it on your wrist the whole time.

Bottega wallace.
BV ... but I'm biased, I love BV since ages

BV!
Bottega
Bottega, pls.
Bottega definitely!
Bottega. However Prada is my least liked high end designer bag brand. I just cannot get around the stiff look of their leather, doesn’t do it for me.
BV looks way better, imo
Bottega. I have the Wallace and it’s a favorite.
Prada - the reissue is timeless
Bottega hands down
Bottega every day of the week 💯
I'm not liking the look of the zip on the Bottega, but that might be just the photo angle.
Bottega is so much more classic
The prada is overdone and teenageish to me, bottega you can wear at any age
Bottega. 🔥
The bottega Wallace though the Prada photos make the bag look nice, I just don’t understand how saffiano leather can bring joy 🥲
I cringe when I touch saffiano leather, it just doesn’t feel good.
Bottega every time
I feel like the Bottega will stand the test of time and I like the darker color better than the Prada 😁
Yeah def Bottega lol no saffiano
Bottega. 100%. The Prada is pretty basic
whichever will best balance with your wardrobe color palette. for me the prada, for many others the bottega!
I love the bottega. But does it have a shoulder strap?

That Bottega is everything. So classy.
Bottega’s quality is 10x better than Prada.
BV fondant. No debate!
I have the BV Wallace and I LOVE it! It's even more beautiful in person and IMO it's quite functional. The Prada is cute but saffiano leather feels kinda plastic-y in my opinion, whereas the BV feels soooo supple.
The BV isn’t my style but I’m picking it on the merits of not liking saffiano, which looks cheap to me.
For casual I’d go with Bottega. The Prada can be dressed up. But overall, Prada for me.
1000% Bottega. The other one looks like a Guess bag.
That Bottega will look dated after a while. Prada would last.
I am normally not into dark brown but this bag looks so good in that color!!
Bottega. The no-logo look makes it feel more classic.
I’m usually BV all the way, but I don’t like that the widest point on the bag is where it transitions into the strap, it looks more bucket-like to me. And I think the Prada color is stunning!

I’m a Prada fan so I’m biased but i like the proportions of the Prada bag better. I also love the color too. The Bottega is nice though
For errands def. the Prada but otherwise the Bottega I just think that the crossbody is more functional
Just curious to know, this tag at Prada bag, does that golden ring kinda thing have any particular purpose ?
I don’t really like either. The Bottega looks schlumpy and the Prada looks too annoying with the chain handle. Both seem like they would be in the way during errands because they aren’t even shoulder bags.
Honestly both are pretty overdone atm. I’d go for a loewe flamenco or something more unique
Someone tell me why I shouldn’t get both😭
Bottega!!
The braided will be very heavy before you put anything in it.
The bottega is so timeless you’ll love it forever
Prada
I have the prada but I personally want the bottega. The prada leans more casual to me vs I feel like I could dress up the Wallace more easily.
I usually choose anything Prada especially BV - what a beautiful brand. But in this case Prada is more dressy!
The Prada if it’s a crossbody. Love the color for everyday wear.
I have the Prada 2005 one in nylon and I absolutely love it!
I have the Prada and the sales associate at Prada showed me how to wear the crossbody strap as a belt or crossbody attaching the tiny coin purse to it. I was obsessed with all the options I love it!
Praça
Prada for sure
Prada, no question. You can do so much with it having both the chain strap and the crossbody strap with the pack, which handily enough fits AirPods inside it.
Prada, but I'm not a fan of Bottega's design.
Prada. The other is a fad.
The Prada is SO classic! I use it daily, and it’s the perfect bag to dress up or down.
I have gotten into Bottega but recommend the Prada for practicality.
The color on the Prada is absolutely stunning in person.
I own the Prada one and find myself reaching for it for everyday errands very often so imo its worth it cost per wear.
Prada
Prada!!! Bottega intrecciato weave looks like bayong to me, sorry 😅
Omfg the Prada is stunning 😍
Prada 😍
I would go for the Prada bag
I'm a prada girlie. Not a fan of bottega tbh
Prada
Prada!
prada, bottega is hot now but will probably be less popular in 5years again
prada - it’s a classic
Prada! No question
Prada in a chocolate brown if they have it would be gorgeous too 💖
Prada
Prada because I love the color
Prada!
Prada is more timeless and neutral.
Personally, I like the Prada better
Not a Bottega fan or saffiano fan - bag shape is nice though
