We went to Europe two summers ago and my teenage daughter only had one thing on her mind, visit the Prada outlet store in Montevarchi, Italy, a small town just outside of Florence. We only had 3 days in Florence, so we had to squeeze in half a day between our Museum time. We took a train from Florence to Montevarchi, then took a taxi to the outlet store. When we got there, it looked nothing like the American Outlet or Mall. It is called SPACE. From the outside, it looks like a warehouse, but once you go inside, wow, all those glamorous leather products made by Prada were right in front of your eyes. After an hour or so inside the store, my daughter picked out this bag for herself. Most bags sold there are either last season or have slight defects. I asked the sales person which one this bag belonged, she scanned the bag with her handheld electronic device, and said this bag has no defects, just last season. So we were super happy. But now, my daughter thinks this bag is a bit too small for her (she is 6′ 1″ tall) and wants a bigger bag. Plus she wants to go back to Italy again. She hopes someone else will treasure it as much as she did, but actually use it (not just sitting in a closet).

I actually met Kobe Bryant while wearing these shoes. He signed a shirt I had, but I didn’t get him to sign these shoes, However, these shoes are lucky because they have been in the presence of Kobe Bryant. I attached a picture of the signature to prove it. If it helps, Kevin Durant, Lebron James Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, James Harden, Tyson Chandler, Russell Westbrook, and Coach K have all seen these very shoes. (I met the whole olympic team, and they all saw these very shoes.) I posted a picture of the whole shirt for you to see. (Just to prove I met them)

True story: two people were following me around the resale store hoping I’d put it down.

My teaching partner became engaged and of course one of the first things she wanted to do was get her dress. I was excited to go dress shopping. She decided she wanted to buy it online. She found this dress to be custom made. She gave the seamstress seriously wrong measurements She was easily a 8 if not a 10. However the measurements she gave th seamstress was a 4-8. When the dress arrived, after much anticipation, she came over and tried it on. We laughed so hard that she cojld not even get it over her hips! She loved the dress but it was non-returnable. It has been sitting in my closet for about a year. It is really beautiful dress.

I wore these boots 4 times and loved them. Blew my Achilles tendon apart playing ball, had surgery with a new tendon and now I need a larger boot size.

I love love love these shoes but I’m a new mom and my feet got bigger by a size and a half after the baby – boo! I have only worn these shoes twice to back tie events. Actually funny story about how I bought them, I was on my way to a black tie party NYC and my heel broke – just as I was about to walk into the hotel. So I hobbled to the concierge and asked if they happened to have a shoe repair guy in the hotel. He said no but that the hotel was connected to Barney’s (!) So I hobbled to Barney’s and texted my husband about my shoe-tastrophe. It was a random weeknight in the summer so there was hardly anyone in the store let alone the show section except – Aretha Franklin! So it was me and her trying on shoes. So basically I was defenseless against paying full price.

I recently took an impromptu trip to Vegas and didn’t have any “comfy” clothes for the 6 hour ride home. So I stopped in that big mall on the strip and bought these. I had forgotten about them until I did some “Spring Cleaning”. And there is no way I can ever fit into them again.

the provenance
so the mom swayed her hip hips back and forth while steadfastly
marching down the busy streets, leading the men in her life
(father of her kid and The Pre-Teen Prince Himself) to the shop
that was capable of bestowing Instant Kool to even the most
clueless, merely by wearing something purchased at the shop
with the label in its proper out-of-eye-sight place

yes, they’ve arrived at the Yohji shop on Grand in Soho, as a
conspiracy was concocted between the mom and dad to pilot
a spark within or under the generational kid seemingly skipped
skipped by Kool, who was indeed tall and gawky, but these would
be the ingredients for matinee idol looks in ten years

all was said and done when the family left the Yohji shop with all 4
credit cards max’ed, one bag and this long sleeve shirt that the mom
decided to keep for herself once the family returned to CA
