Instructions

      Examine the stitching, if the item in question is a piece of clothing or a purse. As high-end designer merchandise, Prada products will feature excellent stitching. If the product in question has crooked, uneven or frayed stitching, it is not real.

      Study the materials. Prada uses the finest leather, suede, metals and fabrics to make their products. If the material feels flimsy, cheap or overly stiff, it is not likely authentic.

    • 3

      Inspect the label. Fake Prada items often feature typos or misspellings on the label. The label's lettering should be clear, crisp and evenly spaced. If it is blurred or oddly spaced, it is likely a replica.

    • 4

      Check any hardware. The zippers, snaps and buckles on the item should all have "Prada" neatly engraved on them. Fake Prada items often don't feature this engraving.

    • 5

      Look at the lining. If you are purchasing a Prada purse or handbag, it should feature Prada's signature lining. If the interior lining does not feature the Prada name, it is not real. The lining should also be in a color that closely resembles the purse's exterior.

    • 6

      Know that Prada labels are always sewn onto the item. Fake items often feature labels that are glued in place. Prada never uses glue to secure labels.

    • 7

      Compare the item to photos from the Prada website. If you notice any discrepancies between the items, you are undoubtedly dealing with a fake.

Tips & Warnings
