First off, gotta say, Prada’s got their stuff plastered all over FARFETCH. I mean, *everywhere*. Seems like if you’re in Canada or Qatar, they’re practically pushing you towards those Saffiano crossbody bags and, uh, “Re-Nylon” backpacks. (Re-Nylon? Seriously? Sounds like something out of a sustainability seminar, doesn’t it? Kinda makes you feel a *little* less guilty about dropping a grand on a bag… Maybe.) And free returns? Via courier? That’s pretty sweet, I gotta admit.
Then there’s the official PRADA website. Seems pretty straightforward. You can browse for wallets and card holders for men – fancy! And shoes, obviously. For women, they’re highlighting these “brushed leather cut-out ballerinas.” I dunno, ballerinas? Are those still a thing? Kinda reminds me of my grandma, but hey, maybe they’re cool again. Fashion, amirite? It’s a freakin’ rollercoaster.
And sunglasses! Oh, and don’t forget the UAE site. They’re practically begging you to “Skip to main content Skip the link”. Like, chill PRADA, I got this. I’m browsing. Don’t rush me.
Look, here’s the thing. Buying Prada online? It’s convenient, obviously. You can do it in your pajamas. But…it kinda loses some of the *magic*, y’know? I mean, I always imagined buying a Prada bag would be this super fancy, white-gloved service kinda experience, maybe with champagne involved. Instead, it’s click, click, add to cart, enter credit card info. Poof. Done. Kinda anticlimactic, if you ask me.
Plus, you can’t *really* tell the quality from a picture online, can you? That’s especially true with leather goods. You wanna feel that Saffiano, smell that leather. Know what I mean?
And, I’m just gonna say it, the website navigation could be better. It’s kinda all over the place. Like, I’m browsing for shoes, and suddenly I’m getting ads for sunglasses? C’mon, PRADA. Get your algorithm together.
