Nine times out of ten, getting a Prada handbag is going to be a good fashion investment. Today, the vast majority of these bags look really nice, are versatile and are trendy additions to your wardrobe. But there are three special bags that Prada has made that are going to stand the test of time and that you going to just keep on carrying season after season, and year after year.

So, what are the best Prada handbags? These are purses that women can carry them around because they are versatile, made of high-quality materials and trendy.

Prada Prize #3: The third best Prada bag is the Prada bowling bag, which came out this year. This bag is cute and timeless, which means that you will be able to carry it wherever you go. Another great about this bag with two small handles is that you can get it in several colors and styles. The Prada bowling bag is boxy and big enough to hold almost anything that you would need. Whether you want it in red, green or a classical color like black, you'll be able to find it.

Prada Prize #2: The second best Prada bag doesn't have a name, but the BR2375 is total luxury. Made from buffalo leather (how the buffalos got to Italy is beyond me, but somehow Prada made it happens), this bag is soft and delish. The bag has a push lock closure and the back flap folds over the front of the bag to close it. Everyone will know you are carrying a Prada because of the metal faceplate. This bag is classic and classy.

Prada Prize #1: The number one Prada bag is the shopper's leather shoulder tote. You may be wondering why a shoulder tote is the number one Prada handbag, and the answer is simple. If you are able to carry a Prada bag with a retail price of over $1000 to the grocery store, and are able to put your purchases from the mall in such a luxurious bag, people are always going to equate you with this bag. With this Prada bag, you are going to be able to carry it everywhere, and everyone will be jealous of your bag.

Now that you know the top three Prada bags, you may want to know the three Prada bags that you should keep your fingers off of. Sure, the celebrities and super models can get away with carrying these bags, but the average woman will just look like a clown with these bags.

Bad Bag #3: Unless you just escaped from the circus or are a nanny, keep away from the Prada Plex Stampato Tote. This bag just looks like a mess. Plus, with a retail price of about $1200 it's not an affordable mess. Once you carry it, you'll not be able to carry it again, because everyone will notice this loud bag.

Bad Bag #2: For $2,600, women can get the Prada bag of the future: the metallic gaufre messenger bag. If you are planning on dressing like Judy Jetson for Halloween, this may be the right bag. Otherwise, you may want to pass. Puffy, shiny and quilted aren't really a good mix.

Bad Bag #1: The Prada Napa Fringe Hobo is another bag that ordinary women won't be able to carry. Carrying this purse would make any normal woman look like there was a small animal growing out of her arm. The best advice for this bag is to let the celebrities carry it, and just laugh at them.

Sure, Prada is known for good bags, but there are a lot of them that you should not buy. If you think about your purchase and go for a classic bag, you'll be able to carry it around for a long time.
