This review was originally written for the BR4085 Leather Black, however, it can also be applied to the BR4098, which is almost the same item except in Nylon. See picture for reference.

In the September edition of  Real Simple Magazine, there was an article about the top five “must have” items in your wardrobe.  The items ranged from the classic cut black dress to a tuxedo jacket.  If I had to write a a top five list of “must haves” in a handbag, this Prada BR4085 would have them all.

5.  Pebbled leather.  For those of you who are not in love with Prada’s nylon bags, you’ll love the pebbled leather.  It’s classy, yet understated.  All the women in a meeting will stare at this bag when you walk in and pull out your laptop. (For those who ARE in love with the nylon, the Prada BR4098 is perfect for you!).

4. Goldtone hardware.  The buckle strap details at the base of handles would not look as luxurious if they were silver.  The most outstanding detail on this handbag is the gold-toned side zippers accented with silver.  I LOVE it. See the Picture to the right.

3.  Zip pocket.  It’s important to have a safe compartment to put your purse.  More importantly, you’ll know exactly where your purse is when you need to pull it out while you’re at the grocery store with a crying baby, nagging husband or even a grouchy cashier. Seen the save time with visa commercials? Well, save time with Prada!

2.  Patch pocket. It’s the other pouch on the inside of the bag.  I store my Blackberry in this pocket, you can put your iPhone if you fancy.  It’s easily accessible and has a snap enclosure.

1.  It’s Prada!  Prada, with it’s elegant, yet trendy, handbags are a definite “must have.”

Now how do you decide between the nylon and leather? The leather looks expensive, well, it is, but the nylon is a lot lighter to carry. If you get both, you won’t have to choose!
