How to Tell a Real Prada Purse From a Fake

Purchasing an authentic handbag or purse is an investment. When purse shapes change, this accessory can later become vintage or may reenter the fashion scene in later seasons. Purchasing a Prada purse from a retail establishment that is not a Prada store can leave you wondering if your money has been wisely spent. By checking for authenticity tags, verification papers and the retailer's money-back authenticity guarantee, you will know that your purse is genuine Prada.

Instructions

Check your purse for authenticity tags and logos. Prada purses have tags, embossed logos and hardware that most counterfeit bags do not duplicate. Clues such as a straight leg in the letter "R" within the word Prada is an immediate indicator that the purse is fake. The letter must have a curved leg. It is very important that the purse is accompanied by the original dust cover. Prada also uses high quality zippers. If the zipper does not close smoothly, the purse is most likely a fake.

Conduct an Internet search for authentic handbag or purse suppliers in your area. Authentic locations have a brick and mortar address, business telephone number as well as customer service representation. Be leery of online stores that claim to sell authentic handbags or purses and offer special lists for a price. Do not purchase your Prada purse from a source that requires payment via money order or any untraceable source. These services can be fraudulent.

Request the purse's verification papers prior to your purchase. If the retailer does not have these papers or states that these will be sent to you, do not purchase the purse.

Check with the Better Business Bureau. Most retailers that sell designer items have some type of consumer rating. You will be able to immediately discover any claims or concerns filed by consumers.

Ask the retailer for their money-back authenticity guarantee policy. Reputable shops will offer you the opportunity to view their authenticity guarantee. If the shop does not have this policy in place, do not purchase the purse. When retailers sell designer items and are legitimate sources, the shop will always offer the policy because their merchandise is authentic.
