This is a very common question oftened asked by customers. What do you do if you get a stain on a Prada Nylon bag like Prada Handbag BN1701 Black? Here are few few tips you should follow:

- As mentioned in a previous post about care, you should always store your Prada items in their dust bag while not in use. Dust settling on the nylon can make the color seem dull over time

- This is a Prada Luxury Handbag, not a plastic shopping bag. The material can be sensitive to the salt in ocean air (especially the hardware), and do not handle harsh weather well. If you know there is going to be a snow storm, you may want to leave your Prada Clutch BP0199 at home. The best way to clean delicate items is to not get it dirty in the first place.

- If there isn’t an actual stain, and it’s just a regular cleaning, which you should do every few months depending on amount of use, eDesignerShop recommends every mom’s best friend, baby wipes! They are mild and will do a great job getting nylon clean. However, if you don’t have baby wipes, and have to go out and buy some, you may want to look for stain removing wipes. Everyone makes them now, including Tide, Shout, or other stain remover wipes.

- If these wipes don’t work on your particular stain, what Prada recommends using a soft bristle brush to apply a mixure of warm water and mild cleaner.

So that’s your care tip for today. Very basic way to keep your Prada Nylon items looking brand new. You can shop for all our Prada items here:

The last time we got this Prada tote in stock, it sold out very quickly! We just got it back in stock and you can take a look at why people love it so much! The design is modern chic without being too flashy. It is easily one of the most beautiful black totes since the BN1336, which we are completely sold out of. Don’t miss your chance to get this beautiful bag which will not stay in stock long. If you can see the following link, it means the item is still in stock, if nothing comes up, the item is completely gone:

Have a great day everyone!

We all know designer items are expensive, but we also know they have great warranty and will get you taken care of. However, did you know that many designers will refuse warranty work on an item if it is not purchased from an authorized store and it can’t be have sold at a certain percent below MSRP? Since eDesignerShop does not deal with the manufacturer directly, we do not have an obligation to sell near MSRP, but this means items purchased from us are sometimes turned down for warranty service.

Don’t worry, we got you covered. We offer a one year warranty on all items, including Prada, Fendi, Balenciaga and Tod’s purchased through us. Our policy can be found here:

http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/310-Warranty.aspx

What this means, is you don’t have to worry if Prada won’t cover warranty on the BR4098 black you just purchased. If you are buying somewhere else, and the price looks a lot lower than MSRP, ask about their warranty. We all know knock off items may look similar to the real item, but they fall apart very quickly. So is the shop you are buying your items from only there for you at the time you buy the item? Or will they warranty your product? Make sure you are covered if something happens. There isn’t a reason if the item is authentic they would not offer a warranty, because chances are you won’t have a problem, but in the small chance you do, you won’t be stuck.

So, make sure you’re covered when you buy that next designer item! Or just play it safe, choose a nice Fendi Handbag from our store: http://www.edesignershop.net/Fendi_Handbags_Wallets_s/10.htm

Happy shopping!

So you already know to look at eDesignerShop when you want a previous season designer item from Prada, Fendi, Balenciaga and many more, but did you know you can find greater bargains by checking out our clearance store? So what makes items go on clearance? We sometimes get closeout items for more than just a few years back. It might have been the talk of the town in 2002, but now it’s not old enough to be called a vintage and not new enough to be the “in” style.

The item might be a seasonal item and was a spring color and as you know, we are now headed to fall. Whatever the reason, you can pick up some incredible deals by shopping the clearance section. Here are one that I’m sure you will like:

Fendi Handbag 8BH186 Zucchino Mint Natural: This is a case of a color that is coming to the end of it’s season this year. Everyone knows the rule of “Don’t Wear White After Labor Day”, well, this one is light enough to be closed out now. We have very few left and sold most of them for $359, but now they can be had for $209. You can see the item here: http://www.edesignershop.net/Fendi-Handbag-8BH186-Zucchino-Mint-Natural.html

In all, there are currently 34 items on clearance including Prada bags, Tod’s bags, and of course Fendi bags like the one listed above. Get them while you can! You can see all clearance items here:

http://www.edesignershop.net/store/c/69-CLEARANCE.aspx?pi=1&ps=40&

It’s tough enough to buy stuff online since you are not able to touch that soft Fendi Fabric, smell that Nappa Prada leather or see THE Balenciaga classic design in person, but at least you can get a good look at it with a detailed picture, right?

Wrong. If the place is small, a good sign they are dealing with knockoff items, they do not take their own pictures. their pictures are usually stolen from other websites, and so even when shopping in a category, you will notice not all the pictures are from the same photographer. Some pictures have backgrounds, same bags in different color are taking from totally different angles. In the example below, information is blurred to protect the guilty:

You would never see something like that at eDesignerShop since we have inventory of all the items on our website and we have our own in house photographers for all the pictures on the website. All the pictures always will be in the same angle so you can compare the different Prada bags, or Fendi wallets or Balenciaga items.

Another big red flag is in looking at the detailed page of an item. If you notice, when you click on the thumbnail of a picture, you should be able to see a larger picture, right? Don’t be so sure. If the site is again small, with no inventory and have to steal pictures, you may find that you click on the picture, and it opens up a picture the same size as the original! Even worse, it may open no pictures at all, as in the example below. Again, names blurred out to protect the guilty:

At eDesignerShop, you know the picture you are seeing are of the exact item we have in the warehouse because the pictures are taken inhouse. You know if you try to enlarge a picture, you will be able to do so. You also know that our items are authentic and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations!

This review was originally intended for the Prada BR4006 Wave Striped Handbag Black, which is a beautiful design that incorporates Prada’s signature Nylon and Nappa leather together. However, while writing this review, the Prada BR3932 “Stripes” Handbag came into stock. The overall design is the same, but the BR3932 is about 25% bigger as you can see by the picture to the left. So this review can also be applied to BR3932 Prada Handbag.

Finally… A purse that I can use all day, everyday.  As much as I love the new Prada totes, they’re just a little too big for everyday use.  And sometimes, a handbag is just too small.  This Prada Wave Striped Handbag is the perfect shoulder bag for daily use.

Do you ever see a bag that you love, yet you know it’s too trendy for normal use?  When you first see this bag, you’ll think, “Wow, I love it.”  Then, you’ll think, “I can totally pull if off.”  With it’s leather waves on their signature black nylon, this bag is classy enough for a nice dinner with your husband, yet classic enough for daily use.   Fill the bag with your iPhone, makeup bag, your Prade Clutch (I love this one: http://www.edesignershop.net/Prada-Clutch-BP0203-Black.html) and you’re ready to go for the day.   And, you’ll never have to worry about your belongings falling out of the inside zippered pouch and lined compartment with the snap enclosure.   The handle fits snugly and is the perfect length.    I love how the shiny black waves and nylon is accented elegantly by a silver Prada logo and silver hardware (the BR3932 has both gold hardware and logo)… this Wave Striped Handbag is the epitome of classic Prada.  It’s no wonder everyone from a stay at home mom to CEO’s to Nicole Kidman are all wearing Prada.

Here are Some more pictures of the Prada BR4006 Wave Striped Handbag:

Here is a closeup of the front logo

Here is the tag and shiny silver hardware

This is the inside Prada logo, snap enclosure, and large zippered pouch

Here is the other pouch on the other side, perfect for keys or phone

Here are some pictures of the Prad BR3932. Besides being slightly bigger and completely leather, here are some of the differences:

The Outside Log of Prada BR3932 is gold and the handle has a unique shape which is designed to fit the shoulder comfortably

The hardware of BR3932 is also gold and perfectly accents the all black leather

Inside you also find gold zipper and gold snap enclosure

Inside the Prada BR3932 is also fully leather, unlike the BR4006 which is Prada fabric lined

It’s time for you next tip to make sure that Prada or Fendi that you buy next online is real and not a bad knockoff copy! So what are the benfits of buying online? Of course, it is cheaper than if you went to a large department store like Neimen Marcus because of the lower costs. Notice the number of lights they have in Neimen Marcus! Those lights are on even on weekdays when tere aren’t more than a few customers in the store. Electricity bill must alone must be in the tens of thousands a month. Even when no customers, there are at least a few employees in each department, right?

So the benefit of buying online is that online stores like eDesignerShop does not have the high overhead that the store has. What’s the down side? You can’t see the item before you make the purchase. This is especially risky because “green” comes in thousands of shades and with a few pictures you might not be able to tell if it goes with that crimson top or that dark stone washed jeans. What’s worse there are a bunch of websites that want to charge you a restocking fee to return it! Not to mention the fact you already paid for shipping the item to you!

Why do they charge you a restocking fee? You just spent $300 dollars on a brand new Tod’s bag, but you don’t like it and they want to charge you 10-15% which comes out to $30 to $45 to put the item back into stock? We’re not talking about something heavy that will take a few people to put back! Bottom line, restocking fees are used by companies that experience a high return rate and this way even if you return the item, they make some money.

At eDesignerShop, we say NO to restocking fees! Once you receive your order, you will have a full 10 days to review the item. If for ANY reason you are not completely satisfied, simply have the return package post marked within those 10 days and there is absolutely no restocking fee. You do not need to contact anyone for any kind of numbers  either. Some people want you to email, or fill out a form to get an “RMA” or “Return Authorization”, etc. You don’t need to do that with eDesignerShop. We also offer free economy shipping to anywhere in the continental United States so you are not out the shipping charges.

Make sure there are no other details they are leaving out. Some companies advertise 15 day satisfation guarantees, but they count the time the package is in transit, so if takes 7 days to get to you, you only really have a day or two to look over the item because likely it will take 7 days to get the item back to them to meet the 15 days. Don’t be caught in the tricks!

To summerize, if the item is authentic and brand new, like you get at eDesignerShop, there is no reason to charge a restocking fee. Make sure the next Prada handbag you add to your collection is exactly what you want and shop with eDesignerShop. If it isn’t the right type of leather or shade of black you are looking for, we will be happy to take it back. If you do keep it, you are also covered by our warranty!

Most handbags, including Prada handbags, Fendi handbags, Balenciaga handbags and so on come with a dust bag. For those that do not, we recommend you put them in a pillow case made out of natural fiber, like cotton. Why do they come with dust bags? The most obvious reason is for a place to store your item when it is “sleeping. This is where the dust bag gets it’s second name; sleeper bag.

Let’s face it, if you are reading this blog, you have more than one handbag. Let’s be honest, you probably have a collection of at least  five to ten, if not up in the hundreds of beautiful handbags! Sitting in the closet, uncovered, your valuable Prada Leather Limited Edition, or your Fendi Spy Bag is not only collecting dust, but the hardware, most likely made out of brass, is getting oxidized and discolored while not in use.

So please, for the sake of your expensive jewels, keep them in a dust bag, or cotton pillow case. Also, stuff your bag if you are planning on storing for more than a few weeks in order to hold it’s form and keep it from forming creases or wrinkles. If possible, try to stuff the items with plastics, like bubble wrap, since it is less likely to attract moths. The last thing you want to find after saving your Balenciaga Giant City  for a special occasion is a bag full of moth eggs!

Also, make sure the item is not stored in direct sunlight or extremely humid conditions. Like a fine wine, it may go up in value and be the envy of the designer world in a few years, but only if you take proper care of it.

Oh, just in case Balenciaga or Prada or any of the other brands forgot something, know that you are covered by eDesignerShop’s one year warranty in case anything goes wrong. You can see our warranty here: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/310-Warranty.aspx
