However every version of black I saw is just smooth leather, not textured. This one actually comes in 2 sizes, smaller BR3307 and bigger BR3592...

Is that what you mean by leaather issue? Or is there something else?

Thanks a bunch!!!
Moot point now: she ended the auction. I'm aware of the two different sizes. I had the larger version. If she relists, I'd still like to see more of the leather.

I'm not at all familiar with this style. Sorry, maybe Rosemary can help you with it.

Anyway, I never really wore it and just pulled it out of my closet today and noticed it doesn't have a serial number anywhere inside. Does this mean it's fake? It seems to be made well, but there are so many Prada copies out there, who knows. For some reason I can't upload the pictures I took. I'd really appreciate if I could e-mail them to someone to take a look? I'm freaking out that I've had this bag for three years and didn't know!
Sometimes on nylon Prada purses (like messengers), the serial number is underneath upper trim inside the purse - so make sure you look good there too.

Thanks, Prada Psycho!

But what exactly should I be looking for in leather - for the future notice?
It's very interesting - I never came across leather as authentication point, if everything else looks OK.
Can you share your thoughts??

Thanks!!

You should have. Leather quality is a biggie and it's the one thing the scum bag, slezoid (and other words I can't say here) fakers can't duplicate.

Hi everyone,

I found this Miu Miu Butterfly/Bow bag on ebay, but since there are so many fakes out there, I really can't put my foot down as to whether this one is authentic or not. Any tips on how to tell from real or fake? Please help ASAP!!! Thanks in advance!

WOW! So you saying there are cases where people would perfectly fake all hardware, put all the stamps in the right places, and other small details, like stitching and white number in the pocket etc. ...but use bad quality leather for a fake purse???!! This is truly very alarming...
Thanks for bringing this up though!!!
