^ In my experience, only Prada boutiques write the purchase info on the white card... department stores and other legit sources do not.

No wonder so many innocent people get ripped off on eBay these days.

I never thought about checking my zippers, because I got my black bow satchel from Saks.
The outside zipper is lampo and the inside zipper is riri for my bag.
I too, am wondering if it's normal to have both riri + lampo on the same bag..

Yes, Prada/Miu Miu will do that. Don't know why, but they do.

Good grief! The scammers really have us running scared when people question authenticity of items purchased at the actual boutique.

Sweetie, you're fine! The boutiques usually remove the cards, so no worries about that or the zippers. It's real.

Those are the inner Prada tags. Please look at the difference between the real and fake one.

^^^That's only partly true, HA. Lots of the newer authentic Pradas have tags with those little studs in the corners, too. It gets tricky to tell the real ones (with the studs) from the fake ones. I know how, but I won't post it here. I'm not sharing any tips for the SCUMBAGS that look at these thread looking for tips to improve their garbage.

Hi there, I jsut got a black coffer from eBay and I can't tell if it's authentic or not. I checked for the 4 bolts and metal plates and those all match the authentic description. However I can't find the "made in turkey" tag nor the Riri/ M6 zipper description. is there any way you can be more specific in the exact location of those. Thanks a bunch!!!
