How to Spot a Fake Prada Bag

If you're looking for a summery take on the Prada classic, this raffia bag is it. You can even get it in pink or blue--some of the hottest colors of summer.

Check for a logo plate with four rounded corners to ensure you are getting an authentic bag. It should also be securely attached to the bag.

Authenticity

It is essential to be authentic when buying a luxury item and designer bags are no exception. Fake Prada bags are common and can look convincing, but with a little diligence, it's easy to identify them. If you are purchasing an item for the first time, look up the serial number on the authenticity card that's usually provided with the bag. If the serial number isn't on the card, it's likely a fake.

Make sure you check the hardware on your bag's hardware. Genuine Prada bags are made with gold-tone or silver-tone metal hardware. If the hardware isn't gold-toned or gold-toned, it could be a fake. The brand name Prada should also be stamped on the clasps and feet at the bottom of bag, and on the front of the zippers. All hardware including the interior plaque, should be of the same color.

The triangle inverted should be positioned evenly and fastened securely onto the bag's leather. It should be clear and easily read, and it is important to look out for small differences in the plaque's color even if they are a sign of a fake. The font on the plaque must match the rest of the bag's branding and markings, such as MADE IN ITALIA.

Check the inside of the bag. Genuine Prada bags feature the logo's horizontal orientation on the lining. In addition, the lining should be the same color as the bag's body, or complement it. Fake bags typically rely on a logo imitation and rely on the purchaser to ignore the finer points.

Another indication of a fake bag is the lack of an QAT (Quick authentication Tag). These are tiny pieces of black cardboard with an adhesive sticker that is attached to them. They display the item number and colour. They also display the group number and the product's number. These stickers are typically included in the bag and are placed on the inside of the top flaps or on a strap that is attached to the bag's back.

Material

Prada was founded in 1913, and has since developed into a luxury fashion house of international renown with timeless designs and creative style. The collection includes leather handbags and shoes, as well as ready-to-wear clothing. Its timeless pieces are made using the finest materials and transcend trends. Miuccia Prada Mario Prada's daughter, is the brand's chief executive. Miuccia transformed the brand with her visionary design approach and a sharp intellect.

The Prada bag-tote is the perfect summer accessory with its chic design, soft raffia fabric and chic design. It's the perfect addition to a sundress or a two-piece set and you can pair it with your favorite jacket for a relaxed approach on tailoring. The bag's minimalist silhouette and simple logo upside-down triangle-shaped plaque elevate it from a basic essential to a wardrobe staple.

The raffia Prada tote bag has been a favourite for the past three years. The supple summer carryall has graced every Insta feed and been seen on the shoulders of celebrities including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber. This year the soft summer holdall is expected to be even more sought-after.
