How It Works: A Step-by-Step Guide to Prada Savings

1. Identification & Tracking

   You identify the exact Prada item you desire—for example, the Re-Edition 2005 Re-Nylon bag. Instead of checking one or two sites, you consult the ACbuy Spreadsheet. A dedicated row for this bag lists its current price on Net-a-Porter (UK), 24S (France), Mytheresa (Germany), Prada's US site, and various Asian retailers like SSENSE or lanecreight.com.

2. The Breakdown

   Each entry is more than just a listed price. The spreadsheet's formulas automatically (or with manual community updates) calculate the landed cost. This is the final amount you would pay, presented in your home currency. It might look something like this: The bag is listed for €1,500 on an Italian site. The spreadsheet subtracts the ~12-22% VAT refund for non-EU residents, adds €50 for shipping, and calculates a 5% import duty for your country (e.g., the USA). Suddenly, that €1,500 tag has a clear and final USD value, easily compared to the $2,100 price on the US Prada website.

3. Execution

   With the data clearly highlighting the most advantageous retailer, you proceed with confidence. The spreadsheet often includes links, notes on shipping speed, and reliability scores for the retailer, ensuring a smooth and secure transaction.
