I have designer bags from LV, Gucci, Burberry, Chanel, Prada etc. Anyway, the point is when I bought those bags they came with authentication card. An authentication card will tell you if your bag is a real designer bag or not. The authentication card has the serial number written on it. Without it, then it’s not authentic. If you bought it in a reputable store like Neiman’s, Saks, Bergdorf or Barney’s NY, then you shouldn’t have any problems.

For a Prada Purse, it has to come with an authentication card, and also a dust bag. Look inside the bag and check if it says made in Italy. The leather should feel like a real leather. Check the logo too, if it says Prado then it is fake. This is not a joke. I am telling you when you walk on the sidewalk of Manhattan. You will see a lot of Prada bags that says " Prado"

Most bags that are Italian are supposed to be made in Italy like for example Gucci and Prada. If it says made in China then you are in for a surprise. I hope that I was able to help. Good luck!!!

A lot of designers do not have their own factories – they contract out work and a LOT of times those factories make more items than they were contracted to make. Those items are sold to other companies or jobbers who then sell the "counterfeit" goods.

So… there are times it just isn’t easy… however… sadly, if its sold through China, made in China or purchased from China… odds are… it might possibly be a counterfeit.

Best way to tell if its a Prada is where you got it. I only buy my Pradas at Prada (or their outlet store). Saks, Bergdorf/Neimans and the like are a safe bet. Harry’s discount shop with a super sale on Prada purses for $50.00… well… houston, we have a problem.

There are many imitated JC handbags in Ebay though they claim their bags to be authentic ones. However, the price is not cheap like $200 somethings. To me, I rather have an authentic ones OR I will not buy any if I can’t afford it. Paying a few hundreds just to get a fake is not worth the money.
