I just bought the medium nylon messenger bag from a Prada oulet- (the one with the flap, the 2 buckle closure and the one large zip pocket on the front). And from what I can tell from comparing it on the Prada.com website it is exactly the same. Identical. The price is $500 cheaper though. I asked in the outlet store and they said that maybe the material isn't sourced in Italy. They couldn't tell me for sure where the bag is made, I'm guessing China. There's no tag anywhere that I can find hidden away, and it's not on the auth cards that came with the bag. Anyone know if these are made in China or Italy? I also wonder if it's the exact same bag that's sold in the retail store, instead of a version made for the outlet. I'm just wondering what's going on. Seems like a bargain too good to be true.
