If you’ve always wanted a Prada but could only afford a Prado (this can happen, just watch the movie Serendipity), this little bag could change all that. For a mere $325, you can be the new owner of this luxurious Satin Evening Clutch. It’s available in this fuchsia hue, which would really pop with your favorite LBD, as well as in turquoise and deep blue. Just a classic little evening bag that you can carry as a clutch or slip over your shoulder, the key feature here is really the simply stated logo – with the correct spelling. Even though it’s a selection from the fall/winter 2011/2012 line, you don’t have to wait – you can order your authentic Prada at Style Drops right now.

Trendy? Check. Quality? Check. Convenient? Check, check! This Prada Nappa Antique Tote meets all the criteria for a fabulous fall bag! It features double top handles, a removable adjustable shoulder strap, a magnetic snap closure, multiple pockets, and leather lining. I love the crisp, rich emerald color – it would look positively dashing with my eyes (insert wistful sigh here). Looking to make this bag your own? You can find it on pre-order for $2,295 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

What with the nautical craze (which may never subside, it seems), there are striped handbags aplenty, but mixing some fuchsia in with those stripes really adds some punch. This Prada Fuchsia Striped Canvas Covered Pushlock Clutch has the right amount of oomph for a fun summer bag, and I love that the bolder colors won’t show dirt as quickly as the white and navy combo that’s so prevalent these days. Available at Bluefly for $556.

The gorgeous Prada Madras Woven Top-Handle Satchel was a huge celebrity favorite during spring, and it’s poised to enjoy more of the same popularity come fall. While one of spring’s more popular varieties showcased a vibrant orange, this interpretation is woven with burgundy, a hue obviously fit for the latter part of the year. Tight weaving and a dramatic silhouette make it a standout. It’s spacious, but not so much so that it would overwhelm a petite frame. If you’re seeking an investment bag for fall and winter, you may want to give this some serious thought. Find it for $2895 at Neiman Marcus.

No, I don’t want to think about fall, either, and I really don’t want to think about winter. Can’t do much about it, though, because this is about the time we start to get a great peek at what’s coming up at the end of the year. The good news is that, well, there’s good news, especially if you love the look of fur but wouldn’t dream of carrying the real thing. This Prada Eco Lapin Faux Fur Open-Top Tote is about as unreal as it gets, in more ways than one. It’s absolutely covered in the plushest material possible (an acrylic/cotton blend) and is actually kind of adorable, thanks to a not-too-huge size and a not-too-furry exterior. The whole thing just works really well. I’m not in the market for a faux fur bag (especially not right now), but this may be a suitable candidate when the time comes. Pre-order it for $995 at Neiman Marcus.

This Prada shearling bag is about the last thing I want to think about in the July heat, but I’m inclined to say it wouldn’t look much better once the weather cools. The fox trim is pretty cheesy and cheap looking, and about the only place I can imagine this looking appropriate is at some ritzy ski lodge. I hope you have some better way to blow close to four thousand bucks than on a bag that’s just way too snow bunny. I can’t fathom spending so much on a purse with such a specific look; if you want to buy Prada, you have a world of much more elegant and useful options. It’s on pre-order for $3,850 at Neiman Marcus, if you must.

This fall, while everyone is busting out their wines and browns and what have yous, I plan to do exactly the opposite. Just because it’s darker outside doesn’t mean our wardrobes have to be equally dismal, does it? This Prada Vitello Daino Boston Bag would be a fine companion to my lightweight jackets and, come winter, even to my wool coat. It’s bright, but fairly indiscriminate from a seasonal standpoint. If you dare not carry it during the end of the year, you can show it off during spring and summer instead. Find it for $1250 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

The devil really is in the details. That’s proven especially true by this minimal Prada Canapa Tote, which is decorated with elegant embroidery along the flap. That’s all it needs to go from simple to striking in an instant. The downside? It’s made of canvas, so it isn’t quite as luxurious as it could be. On the other hand, canvas has never looked so luxe! Find it for $1015 at Neiman Marcus.

Infuse your summer wardrobe with a splash of nautical chic. Not only is it a classic look, it’s also beautifully exemplified by this Prada Canvas Stripe Tote. The tote gives us a different take on the look by incorporating a few black stripes into the mix. While black isn’t usually the color of choice at this time of year, it brings just the right touch of drama to your luxurious vacation looks. Love it! Find it for $1470 at Neiman Marcus.

A surge of color has done wonders for Prada this season. The label’s Canapa and Cinghiale Tote (hemp canvas and boar skin) is a vision in cobalt blue, complete with a sturdy, wide strap that looks far sportier than the bag itself. Detach the strap and you’ve got yourself a glamorous, day-brightening carryall that moves from work to play with ease. It’s a fun bag, but only in this color. Opt for the black and you’ve effectively landed yourself on the boring list. Find it for $1750 at Neiman Marcus.
