TIPS ON HOW TO BUY AUTHENTIC PRADA ON EBAY

Shopping for Authentic PRADA on EBAY can be very tricky because I notice that almost 70% of the items that are sold here on EBAY ( ESPECIALLY WALLET ) are 100% FAKE. there are several tips that might be useful for you as general guides whenever you are to buy Prada handbags/wallets on EBAY.

As to the best of my knowledge, Unlike Louis Vuitton or Chanel, Some of Prada handbags/wallets could be purchased on WHOLESALE BASIS especially on OLD/ CLASSIC models, such as MV515, MV613, MV519,BT0175 ( I would say NYLON PRADA in General) either they are overstock items, or factory second products. and again, unlike those 2 other luxury Brands, Prada also does sale/clearace on their OFF SEASON ( such as several models on Dragon/Phoenix, Saffiano, Jacquard, Deerskin), that's why sometimes you can see prada bags offered on sale at Neiman Marcus or Saks 5th AVE, but the items are usually very limited, and if you can find any ONLINE SELLERS who sell particular OFF SEASON BAGS in LARGE QTY, they could be fake.

And not as easy as you think Buying prada on Wholesale Basis, You Must FLY directly to ITALY (either to the factory outlet, Contact the authorized distributor) in order to purchase in BULKS! never trust any US-based Distributors/companies which does WHOLESALE PRADA....FOR OFF SEASONS PRODUCTS, USUALLY THE ITEMS ARE VERY LIMITED TO SELL ON WHOLESALE BASIS (MAYBE 2  - 3  PIECES only) BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!

**DO NOT BUY IF THEY DO NOT HAVE DETAIL OR REAL PICTURES OF WHAT THEY SELL**

Now, I would give u some useful tips here:

1. ITEMS MUST COME WITH DUST BAG (HANDBAGS) + AUTHENTICITY CARD AND BARCODED TAGS ( HANDBAGS + WALLET) SOMETIMES BOOKLETS, AND PRADA PLASTIC BAG.....IF criteria No.1 pass, next..........

2. BARCODED TAGS ( VERY IMPORTANT).....UNLESS THE COLOR IS VERY DARK  PURPLE/ ALMOST BLACK, IT IS FAKE....DO NOT BE FOOLED WITH BARCODED LIGHT BLUE COLOR CARD WHICH LOOKS LIKE REAL.. ( Go to the next criteria......) Please note that prada sports line has their tags in RED and Transaparant color.

3. K-N-O-W THE AUTHENTICITY CARD!!! ( IF YOU PURCHASE THE BAGS AT AUTHORIZED RETAILERS) THEY WILL FILL THE INFO WHEN AND WHERE YOU BUY AND OTHER INFO ON THE CARD, BUT IF YOU BUY ANY FACTORY SECONDS/OVERSTOCK PRODUCTS, THE AUTH.CARD WILL BE LEFT BLANK., it does not mean THAT THE BAGS ARE NOT AUTHENTIC AT ALL.

3. KNOW THE STYLE MODEL ( BT, MV, BR...AND ETC) FOLLOWED BY NUMBERS.....IF THE SELLERS COULD NOT MENTION THE STYLE/MODEL NO...1000% FAKE........

4. PRADA WALLET BOX IS ALWAYS OF THE SAME COLOR OF ITS AUTHENITICY CARD ENVELOPE ( THAT IS DARK PURPLE) WITH PRADA WORDS EMBOSED ON THE MIDDLE.

5.BEWARE OF ANY PRADA SELLERS WHO ALSO SELLS FENDI, GUCCI AND TOD'S IN LARGE QUANTITY....AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE PRADA SELLERS WHO SELL THE OFF SEASON PRODUCTS IN LARGE QUANTITY AND REPETITIVE, I Would personally say they are selling Mirror Image FAKE PRADA ( EVEN IF YOU SHOP AT OVERSTOCK, DIABRO  OR BLUEFLY, THEY USUALLY HAVE NO MORE THAN 4 ITEMS FOR OFF SEASONS PRODUCTS ( Except, OLD/CLASSIC MODELS like I mentioned before such as MV and BT )

6. COMPARE THE price of the items with Neiman marcus, SAKS, Prada boutique or discounted websites like Blue fly or Overstock, if the price is 70% to 80% cheaper, I would personally not recommend you buy.

7. A few things to examine to determine the authenticity when you receive the item:

• THE "R" on EVERY PRADA WORDS must be CURVED IN.
• Classic/old models usually does have Plain lining unlike the other models have Fancy prada words lining and the usually have regular calf trim instead of SAFFIANO LEATHER TRIM.
• the color of the lining must match with the exterior on the handbag.
• ALL THE BRASS MUST BE engraved with PRADA as pRADA does manufacture/produce the brass themselves.
• THE color of the EMBLEM MUST match with the color of the BAG......

EVENTUALLY, I HOPE WHAT I AM GIVING YOU HERE ABOUT THE GENERAL GUIDELINES ON HOW TO BUY AUTHENTIC PRADA HANDBAGS ON EBAY COULD BE VERY USEFUL AND PRACTICAL...

ENJOY AND HAVE FUNN!!!!
