How old was the bag? From what I know, David Jones does not stock Prada bags... well not of recent times anyway.
Edit: Oh nvm, I just found that some DJ's do and others don't.

Such a dilemma......
Do I want to pay more for Prada made in Italy or pay less for Prada made in China?
Then there is the saying...."it's not personal, it's business"....but isn't it personal to ME, the customer?
IDK
I got a Made in China one in their iutlet in Florence for a much cheaper price.
The David Jones in Westfield Sydney stock Prada and they're Made in Italy from what I've seen
You are correct. I have a saffiano lux bn1786 and it is made in italy. I bought mine at a flagship store.
What is the "pleather fiasco", mentioned at the beginning of this thread? Also, do all suede lined Prada's come from China? Mine has no made in... or white tags. Still trying to find out if it's authentic.
"Pleather" was a synthetic leather lining which Prada used on some bags a few years ago. Not sure whether they still use it. The "fiasco" part came in when they sold the bags a leather lined, when they were lined in this pink fake leather - plastic leather, hence pleather. Charged leather prices but gave us plastic. Pleather was barbie doll pink and had a funny plastic/vinyl smell.
I haven't yet seen a moleskin (suede) lined bag with Made in China but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. If you put some photos of your bag into the authenticate this thread, we can see if it has the requirements of authenticity (or not). And we might be able to clue you in to where the tags might be hidden.
Thank you so much for responding! I bought the bag in a thrift store, luckily it was the Goodwill, which accepts returns. I turned it inside out, including all pockets, but there were no tags of any kind, no serial numbers and the Prada tag was wrong, as well as none of the hardware being signed at all. Even the zipper was wrong. I became very suspicious that it was pleather after the one leather tag marked Prada split and was revealed to be two cloth backed pieces glued together. So I returned it. It was fun to do the research, though. I'm going to get a digital camera so I can upload pictures of my Gucci bag on another thread. Thanks so much, again!
I am planning on buying the BN2274 on the weekend. Anyone have tips on where I find the "made in" tag inside the bag? Which side will it be located? Anyone with a pic?
Thank you! So in the double zip- possibly inside one of the zipped compartments?
