I recently wanted to get myself a Prada Milano bag, after seeing my friend showcasing it. Since it was a little expensive, I wanted to be careful and not make a mistake while picking it up. Now, it was a difficult question, was it going to be real or fake?
When I got to the store, I had read so many reviews online that I was pretty lost as to whom to believe. I knew enough about the Prada Milano bags that I knew what to look for. It had to have the perfect stitching, the lining had to be original and the feel of the bag had to be smooth.
The staff at the store was quite helpful and they shared some easy tricks to identify a fake vs real bag. They said the leather label with the company logo stuck to the inside had to be original and so did the Prada markings on the buckle and zippers. I also asked to authenticate the bag just to make sure.
Touching the bag it was clear that the leather quality was soft and smooth. It was also sturdy and I could feel the strength. But I wasn’t sure enough to take the plunge. After hovering around I decided to trust the reviews.
I asked the seller to open the leather tag with Prada logo stuck at the inside of the bag and to my surprise, it was genuine. My heart leapt for joy. I went ahead and bought the bag.
After taking the bag home, carrying it for a few days, I was sure I had made the right choice. I felt happy and content. The bag was exactly as expected and I had taken the right call. When I got compliments from everyone about the bag I was proud.
Sometimes it’s difficult to pick authentic products especially when the price is high and so I was glad I could take the right decision. I got what I paid for and was just perfect. This experience made me rethink the fact that reviews really matter and we should trust them more often.
When I came across some other Prada Milano products that I wanted, I just had to compare the reviews before investing. I completely rely on them when it comes to shopping expensive bags or wallets, and you should too.
Now, I don’t just go for what looks good, I look at the reviews, the material quality, the stitching and the leather tag is the most important. All of these together help me determine if it’s a real piece or a fake.
I also asked around, what does a good Prada Milano bag look like? From the answers, I gained enough knowledge to understand what to look for. It’s important to make sure though, if you don’t want to be fooled.
I heard the leather quality of a real Prada Milano bag is absolutely top notch and the manufacture quality is very carefully done. That’s why it has a long-lasting use and it’s worth the price. In addition to this, the Prada labels should be concisely stitched inside the buckle and zippers.
Also, the hardware is well crafted and very durable. If the bag does not have the Prada logo embossed or branded inside the hardware then it’s a fake. Let’s not forget about the dust bag and authenticity card, if the Prada Milano bag doesn’t come with those, there’s something wrong.
At the end of the day, you have to be sure of what you’re getting and it can only happen if you’re well informed. You can’t just go by the looks of it. If you don’t want to be fooled, always have a look at the reviews, the materials and the craftsmanship before taking the jump.
