Prada Brique Saffiano Leather Cross-Body Bag Review

[@liborplistak]

I love the bag. Finally somebody did a review. Just saw pictures before. Thank you so much! Rub the zippers with baking paper. You can't damage anything like with oil or grease and it helps.

[@dearmatt]

Thanks! I did this for one of my other bags - just forgot about this hehe. Will get around to it.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

It is a stunning bag. I have not seen that one at all. Mark Cross used to do a similar one, but this bag appears to be a little bigger. Thank you for the video!

[@bobolikitten]

I have a friend who worked at Prada and it is very common for Prada to have difficult zippers. He recommended that I rub wax paper on the zipper and it helped a lot!! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Best wishes to you.

[@win0044]

Thank you for doing a review on this bag. I struggled before to find reviews on this. Good review 😄make me what to buy one

[@dearmatt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheJProducti0ns]

Wow I want those charms!! I recently bought this bag. Love it. It's so lowkey and it doesn't scream designer. Totally up my ally

[@KevinEscobarCo]

i absolutely adore this bag!!! ugh I would love this piece!

[@maxkilworth]

Love this bag! Been eyeing it for quite sometime now! Thanks for the video handsome! :)

[@thecurator9628]

Firstly you are too adorable and secondly I have this bag also and it’s such an amazing bag and the structure is so good too!

[@dearmatt]

Oh my goodness thank you! Is your zipper a pain in the ass too?

[@thecurator9628]

@@dearmatt they ARE! I love the way you accessorise it instantly made me want a trick for my bag!

[@dearmatt]

@@thecurator9628 yes this bag works so well with tricks. Do it do it

[@caluxy]

I'm curious to see your current bag collection. Will you be showing bags individually or will you also do a collection video? :)

[@dearmatt]

I can do a collection vid - was just planning to do one at a time.

[@caluxy]

@@dearmatt oh yes, please & thank you. :)

[@thaddeush3347]

@dearmatt hey Matt, where is the promised bag collection video?😂😂 it’s long overdue🥲🥲

[@vvipll3653]

I bought the bag right away after saw this video :)

[@gianpavlo7760]

I have the smaller version in marble gray. The only complaint I have is the external zippers that are kind of stiff same like yours. By the way, yours doesn't look that it's 2 years old already. And by the way, you rock all of your Chanel bags nicely as if those are all made to carry by guys.

[@dearmatt]

I love the smaller one, the vertical or horizontal? Yeah it's like the zippers kinda suck - but also then the shape of the bag and materials isn't conducive to having the zipper run around smoothly? there's no resistance for a zipper that tough if you know what I mean. And thank you! That means alot x

[@gianpavlo7760]

The horizontal one. I would like to get the same size as yours but the brown color (not available in my country though). The vertical one seems lovely also. Anyway, does not the metal Prada charm scratches against the leather? I do not hang one for I fear it will damage the leather though Saffiano is a tough kind.

[@professerht]

I usually use some candle wax or some lip balm on tricky stiff zips, had same issue with my Saint Laurent backpack and it's smooth now.

[@dearmatt]

Thanks, I'll get around to this!

[@professerht]

@@dearmatt No worries.

[@youareall12]

First time I see this bag and love it. Nice finishes and nice space

[@johnresos7693]

i love how you style it. 🤗 great work!

[@BRANDURNSO]

loved your review! i'm thinking about purchasing the smaller version so this was quite helpful :)

[@dearmatt]

Do it ^_^

[@adamleung2599]

OMG that is beautiful and a great size too!

[@dearmatt]

I love it!

[@anys2656]

i actually love your videos a lot, please film one for all your bags if you can? and i would love a review of the puzzle bag you got !

[@dearmatt]

Okay I'll do a puzzle one :D

[@jsab1270]

You came just in time 👍. Doing my research on this bag. Looking to get the grey one.

[@youareall12]

Put link here pls

[@Christian14789]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this bag. Been wanting to get it but it’s sold out everywhere. Definitely going to look for a different strap as well now like you did. 💕

[@bryanbautista5317]

Lovely bag! I have 2 of those brique bags. One i got in Paris pre covid when it 1st came out around 2 years ago and another in my country this year the vertical version because it was reduced to 45 % off. Could not resist it but I hoped I got my horizontal 1 in grey. Both bags are easy to open and close. I don't have any problems other than the cotton on the zipper seem to catch dust. Another bag that looks like the brique is the LV flight case. Beautiful giant monogram with a new logo treatment in grey while the bag is in black with silver hardware.

[@dearmatt]

I had no idea it was sold out and so hard to get!

[@dearmatt]

@@bryanbautista5317 How do you like the vertical one? I have to admit my zippers have become harder to open as the leather as softened up - there's no resistance to help hold the bag still while I pull the zip now, if that makes sense. I can't believe you got one 45% off!

[@bryanbautista5317]

Both bags I find easier to open and close. The vertical type is trickier to stuff things in as gravity would have them all fall down specially the tiny items. Yes it's such a shocker that the main Prsda store here decided to mark down most of their items so even if I wasn't planning to buy another black bag I had to bite the bullet because the price was like a third off when I got my horizontal brique bag in paris. I'm jealous of your chanel purchases though. With the exhorbitant price increase, I could not justify to buy a gabrielle hobo. I really liked the one with the chanel logo on the top handle only to find out it was just a seasonal design. Bummer. Btw sir what is your origin of nationality? Do you know Lea Salonga of Ms. Saigon fame? Your a broadway performer right? Regards... 😊

[@AYinNYC]

Charming! What’s the actual size of it?

[@I_am_gids]

That strap makes the bag so unique, may I ask where you got it? This bag is a great investment Saffiano leather is so durable and elegant ⭐️

[@dearmatt]

Hi! It’s from Prada also :) thanks for watching and commenting!

[@paulbonifacio901]

I want this first version of the brique were it has 2 external pockets, im going to buy it preloved, can you give tips on how to check for its authenticity?pls

[@ITSJOSE77]

Matt i feel like I wanna raid your closet, you have great taste (:

[@dearmatt]

haha thank you!

[@OhhMedrano]

Have you done an update video? Would like to see how it held up after a year

[@thaddeush3347]

😍😍😍 I have this bag!!! I love it so much too!!!

[@dearmatt]

It's so good!

[@wowensdale2245]

[@yoloboytokyo6472]

Why you decided to sell Gabrielle?

[@viel-fu2ph]

[@silentvlogger5008]

Nice bag

[@Stanleydragonjr]

[@cheenotna2939]

I like your ring!! Can you tell me where you got it?

[@liborplistak]

I'd like to know as well

[@aidahoe2946]

From his wife

[@dearmatt]

This one's from ZAZEN BEAR in NYC - the store has since shut down though sadly.

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

Wish it’s with gold hardware though they don’t do it for men

[@dearmatt]

You're right, the option of hardware would really appeal to a larger audience.

[@iammrpikon9529]

Have you tried using candle on the zipper?

[@dearmatt]

Not yet! I will :’)

[@aidahoe2946]

Where did you buy it

[@dearmatt]

This one came from Saks 5th ave

[@RavenBrianne]

where do you buy your bag straps?

[@dearmatt]

This one's directly from Prada!

[@adamfranco4758]

What do you search up?

[@warawoodmirattanaprai7771]

❤️

[@misha9397]

Just put wd40 to the zipper.

[@dearmatt]

I'll try candle wax etc first :D thanks!
