Hi there,

I just wanted to let you guys know some interesting information that I found out from a retailer friend in Italy that buys his handbags direct from Prada.

Handbags that have the Prada logo embossed on the leather inside no longer come with the Prada Made in Italy plaque.

Some examples are the new version of BR3373 and BR3408.

I have attached a few pics of BR3408 to show as an example.

This is great to know for all of us Prada handbag lovers, in case we come across a new style that we like, and we panic, thinking it's a replica, because the inside plaque is missing.

:smile:

Does this have anything to do with moving the factories? I remember reading a while back that many designer bags are now made in Turkey..

Or am I just babbling and wasting your time? Well.. ooops:shame:

No, according to my friend, it's a cost-saving measure, as embossing is much cheaper than a plate. I guess even the designer brands are trying to increase their bottom dollar.:nuts:

As for the factories, Prada is still in Italy. I believe that Mulberry has utilized Turkey, but Prada, Fendi and Gucci, at least, are still in the homeland.

And your question is not a waste of time at all, it was a good one, thank you!:yes:

I read somewhere that Prada is having some of the styles (don't know which) made in CHINA!! Talk about confusing! With so many of the fakes coming out of factories in China, having real Pradas coming from there makes my head spin! :weird:
