Also I found out: the amount of pieces of network (look at the handle). It has to be 12. I don`t know the tolerance, but I counted 18 a few times on the ones that were sold on ebay. All original bags i have seen in stores & mine have 12.
hey girls!
i bought a white leather miu miu bag from the dolce and gabbana boutique, but the authenticity card - there i noticed a typo - they wrote it once in italian and once in english - the english typo contained "umidity" instead of "humidity". i'm sure that the D&G boutique within department stores sell authentic goods, but am really concerned about the typo because it makes me wonder...
does anyone out there know anything about this? thanks in advance!!
....moreover, look at the zipper inside the Coffer bag:
"Lampo" must be written on the back of the zipper "head" (i do not know the specific name).
You can divide the fake (esp. on ebay)from auth. mostly by uneven seams and seam widths. The distance between sewing line and edge has to be 2mm +/-0,5 mm (common for all). A lot bags at ebay have a much bigger hems or show also differences on seams around the bag.
Also: you see differences in the slit for the key strap of the key pocket. My original has an oval hole, I`ve seen a few fakes with ugly (also fraying) slits.

The details are important
I may post some pictures for understanding if requested.

hi can u please post pics for ur first point abt the "lampo" and the slit... thanks alot for ur tips they've helped so much in identifying those horrible fakes!!!
wow, i'm no fashion expert but i was gagging too when i saw that site. It was so obvious that those were fakes...the "Prada" letters on several of them were so uneven it was ridiculous. And the fact that they are charging over $100 for a purse that anyone could tell is a fake from across the room...insane. It's sad cuz those bags probably cost barely $1 to make since they were likely made by children in sweatshops. Sad.This disgusting place is a library for anyone wanting to study up on fake Pradas (or other designers for that matter). I nearly puked when I saw this. They are HIDEOUS!! The scammers aren't even bothering making up style numbers any more. They are using the same style numbers as legit Prada bags.
WARNING: Grab a barf bag before you click. This is SICKENING!

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