Wow that's crazy....I never heard of that. In regards to my original post, I was in Saks the other day and the things on the corners of the emblem could be studs (filled in) or bubbles (holes). I saw bags and accessories with both. I thought that was a sure way to tell the fakes....but the numbers thing is very interesting to know.Hi,
I was at Sam's Club one day talking to a SA about the Pradas they have there and she said that people will buy the real ones and then try to return a fake and so to tell if it is the real deal or not she gets out her jewelers loop and looks above where the bubbles are and there are some numbers or letters on the real ones but not on the fakes. I thought this was interesting. She showed me the numbers on the bag I was carrying. Buy man, even with the jeweler's loop it is so darn hard to see as the numbers as so small!
I think a better way to check whether or not a prada a real is to check the underside of the zipper. Prada only uses the zipper brands IPI, riri, or Lampo. These brands should be embossed not engraved on the zipper. Hope this helps!
