If you're still trying to determine the authenticity of your bag, you should check the hardware, stitching, Authenticity Card and more.


Prada Hardware




The hardware on Prada bags will be either silver-toned, gold-toned, or rose color gold-toned. It will only be one of those colors, not a combination of colors.All hardware – zippers, buckles, locks, knobs, clasps, chains, metal feet, etc. will say Prada. If it doesn't say Prada, it's not an authentic Prada handbag. The letters will be very clean and clear.

Prada Authenticity Card and Box



Prada products purchased from retail establishments will come with an Authenticity Card and a box. The box and envelope the card will come in is dark purple/black with the Prada logo embossed on it in a glossy but matching color. The Authenticity Card contains the style of the bag and its serial number. However, vintage bags don't always have serial numbers.

Warning Signs:
  • Envelopes or boxes that are different colors
  • The wrong font for the Prada logo
  • A Certificate of Authenticity – this is not the same thing as an Authenticity Card, and is not a real document.

Prada Dust Cover


Prada bags also come with a dust cover. The dust covers are white cotton – that looks and feels like flannel – with the Prada logo embossed on the front in black. Prada handbags do not have any plastic or other wrapping on the hardware or handles. Older dust bags were navy blue with a gold embossed logo.
Warning Signs:
  • A dust cover in different colors or fabrics.
  • A dust cover that has pills
  • A dust cover with a crooked or logo or uneven lettering.

Prada Bag Authenticity Card

I read that all Prada bags come with 2 authenticity cards.
One is a plastic card about the size of a credit card. The front has the famous Prada logo and the statement �Certificato di autenticita - Authenticity certificate card�. The back of the card has a magnetic strip, just like a credit card. It also has the model number (ART.), the name of the style (MATERIALE), and the color (COLORE). This is all in Italian. For example, BR1594 (ART.), VITELLO DAINO B. (MATERIALE), NERO (COLORE). Notice that this is printed in all capital letters.
The second card is similar to what you might see in a Fendi bag. It�s a thick black paper card with the Prada logo embossed on the front and the same information we described for the plastic card on the back. However, it also has a bar code and the model number followed by a serial number. On some Prada cards there are two bar codes with serial numbers. These two cards come inside a small envelope with the Prada logo and CERTIFICATO DI AUTENTICITA (also in English) embossed on the front.
Does all Prada products come with these two cards? When I bought my bag, I only had the first card in the small envelope and I did not see a 2nd card with any serial number. Does all Prada products come with a serial number?
