EXTERIOR LOGO PLAQUE:
-The color of the enamel on the exterior logo plaque should be the extact color of the bag or very close.
-The letter R on a authentic prada plaque should have a curved leg not a straight leg. If the leg is straight then the bag isn't authentic:(
-The prada exterior plaque should be firmly attached with even stitching around it.
-On the newer prada logo plaques the rivets will be completley filled in, but on the older style bags the rivets will look like donut holes. The black plaque in the picture below is the vintage prada handbag, and the orange plaque below is a current prada handbag.
INTERIOR LOGO PLAQUE
-The interior logo plaque on older bags will read Prada Milano made in Italy on 3 lines
-The newer interior plaques say prada made in Italy On two lines.
-The interior plaque should match the interior fabric of the bag.
-Sometimes prada bags dont have a ceramic interior plaque but a leather patch with 4 filled out rivets
PRADA EXCLUSIVE ZIPPERS
- Zippers are a very key part in deciding whether the prada bag you want is authentic. Prada handbag zippers are amazingly smooth like butter. Below you will see a list of zippers that you will see in all authentic prada handbags. These are the only zippers Prada uses.
Lampo
Ykk
Riri
Opti
Ipi
These names will be embossed on the back side of the zipper
SIGNATURE INTERIOR LINING
-The words prada will be printed throughout the entire interior lining of the bag. The words prada will be written horizontal throughout the lining. In some case the interior will be plain nylon, and it will match the exterior of the handbag.
PRADA AUTHENTIC HARDWARE
-Hardware is a important key factor in identifying authentic Prada bags. All the hardware on a authentic prada bag will say prada no matter what! For example, zippers, buckles, locks, metal feet, and decorative hardware will all say prada. If the zippers and hardware on a bag are blank than you are looking at a fake!
INTERIOR NUMBER TAG
-The interior number tag is also a great way to determine if the bag you are looking at is authentic. Authentic Prada handbags will have a small white tag in the interior with a random number on them. If the seller of the item you are interested in does not include a picture of this it does not mean the bag is fake. Most established designer handbag sellers on Ebay will include a picture of this tag in their listing. This tag will be in every interior pocket of every handbag.
In conclusion, I am a serious collector of designer handbags. I have been buying them and reselling them for years. My intentions with this guide aren't to promote, or boost my eBay sales, but only to help you identify authentic Prada purses on Ebay, and online.
