Yes, all genuine Prada bags have an authenticity card. This card will display the serial number and information about the style of purse. It will be contained within a black envelope that has the Prada logo embossed into it. You can check the serial number on Prada’s website or by contacting them directly by email or in-store.

Staff Answer

No, you cannot sell fake or counterfeit purses on eBay. This is not only against eBay’s terms and conditions but it’s also illegal under the laws of many countries. For example, in the USA, it’s considered to be fraud. You risk being charged for committing an offense and having your eBay account suspended or removed. If in doubt, see your attorney for advice and you can also ask other sellers for guidance on the eBay forums.

Prada is originally from Italy, from the city of Milan. The brand was started by Mario Prada and Martino Prada in 1913, as a leather goods shop. Prada is now known as an Italian luxury fashion house. You can find out more about Prada by checking the “About Us” section of the Prada website.

Question

How does the "R" look if it's fake?

Community Answer

It will not have a notch missing. Look at the "R" where the top connects to the bottom at the right leg of the letter. If there is no notch taken out like in the pictures above, it is a fake.

Question

Does a plastic zipper mean the bag is fake?

Community Answer

Yes. All Prada bags use high-end, metal zippers. The zippers have the manufacturer's name embossed on the back side of the zipper. If the zipper has no markings and/or is made of plastic, the bag is a fake.

Question

Is my purse fake if it cost 100 dollars and had no zippers?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, yes. Prada bags cost thousands of dollars, and even the extremely run down and well-worn used bags cost more than that.

Question

Is a Prada bag fake if it doesn't have a metal logo on the inside?

Community Answer

Not always, some Prada bags have a leather logo with 4 rivets, one on each corner, on the inner lining. The inner Prada label will say "Prada, Made in Italy" on 2 or 3 lines depending on the age of the bag. All Prada bags will have an interior label, so if your bag doesn't have a label at all, then it is a fake.

Question

I bought a Prada wallet on a chain from Bergdorf Goodman. There's a box and cards, but no dust bag, and there are 2 tiny spots of discoloration inside the chain where it connects to the bag. Real or no?

Community Answer

It sounds like yes, it is real. Slots of discoloration can occur on Prada hardware. You may possibly be eligible to send it out for repair. On the back of the authenticity card it should state that it’s eligible for repairs for manufacture defects. It’s free for one year; after that you’ll be charged. Be aware that repairs can take 3 - 6 months.
