Expert Tips: How to Spot a Fake Prada Bag in Seconds

Belgrade, July 31, 2025 – In an era where counterfeit luxury goods are increasingly prevalent, a recent online guide from Najzena.rs offers consumers a concise method to distinguish authentic Prada bags from fakes. The video, titled "How to Spot a Fake Bag in 10 Seconds," outlines several key indicators that can help buyers verify the authenticity of a Prada handbag. According to the guide, one of the primary indicators is the inner plate, which should bear the inscription "Prada Milano dal 1913" in a clear sans-serif font. This plate should be crafted from ceramic or leather, not plastic. Furthermore, all metal components, including zippers and buckles, must be uniform in appearance and of high quality. Attention to detail extends to the stitching, which on original Prada bags is described as neat, precise, and matching the material's color, with no loose threads. The interior lining is also a crucial element; authentic bags feature fine Nappa leather or jacquard nylon with rows of the word "Prada," where every second row is inverted. The material of the bag itself is another tell-tale sign. Original Prada bags are typically made from Saffiano, calf, or lamb leather, which should not have a plastic-like sheen. Consumers are also advised to check for a serial number that corresponds to the authenticity card, usually embossed on an inner label. Finally, the guide emphasizes price as a significant indicator. If a Prada bag is offered at a "too favorable" price, it is almost certainly a replica, as original Prada bags range from approximately 1,100 to over 9,000 euros, depending on the model and collection.
