Prada where is it made

Feb 16, 81 Oh wow. I think the Prada re-edition is such a cute bag and have been eyeing it but I'm shocked that it's Made in China.

Seems like we'd be better off just checking it out in person when stores open back up again to get a Made in Italy one or even settling for a dupe from a different brand. Reactions: baghag91 and bunnyd. Jul 7, I wish Prada was more transparent about where their products are made.

I mean.. Balenciaga is willing to say their products are made in Tunisia and China on their product page and will not hide the tag that says so. Prada on the other hand will hide their made in China tag in an obscure place, and not put where their products are made on their product listings.

I find simple, basic products, outlet products, are most likely made outside of Italy, and complex, more intricate, specialty products are made in their factories in Italy. Reactions: SakuraSakura , baghag91 , balenciamags and 2 others.

Aug 20, 1, They still have made in Italy for their nylon collection, usually the classic pieces like the backpack and messengers bags that were first introduced in the 90s. I would prefer my Prada handbag to be made in its hometown of Italy. However, I also do understand where Prada is coming from by outsourcing their products to Asian manufactures.

If the final product comes out better, why not use them? After all, many top designer handbag companies are also outsourcing their merchandise. If even the top of the top companies are doing this, then there must be some credible reason why. The store will not work correctly in the case when cookies are disabled.

Many facets to this. Italy is desperate to find young people willing to go into the leather trade. Luxury brands try to manufacture mainly in Italy because of the power of that label. Yes, some Prada apparel, footwear, bags, and accessories are manufactured in China.

Many luxury brands like Prada to China to improve their profits since the labor and materials are cheaper than in Europe. It could have been a risky move since Prada has built its reputation on items crafted in Italy by skilled artisans.

Just the manufacturing skills of these artisans could justify the high prices. I guess the less exclusive and cheap Prada products are manufactured outside of Italy. However, others defend the quality remained the same.

Definitely a big surprise to me. Many fashion brands have been swapping China for Vietnam when it comes to manufacturing their products since the labor and materials are cheaper there.

Find the brand embossed on the back of the zipper. This includes the zippers, buckles, metal feet at the bottom, locks, and any other decorative pieces.

On the zipper of a real bag, the Prada engraving will be on the front side while the zipper brand will be on the back. Not all real Prada bags have metal feet on the bottom of the purse or special accents like locks. Check the Prada catalog online to see if your model is supposed to. Method 3. Made from real calf leather, Prada leather bags should be supple and smooth. Even styles of leather bags that are ruched or ruffled should feel soft. Check that the interior fabric is high quality and has the Prada pattern.

The interior will either be embossed jacquard nylon fabric or nappa leather. The fabric will have a pattern that alternates a line printed with Prada and a line of rope motif. Look for clean stitching along the seams. Real Prada bags should not have stitching that is crooked, uneven, or sloppy.

The stitches will be small and sturdy. Designer bags almost never have seams that are glued. Method 4. Find a small white tag inside the bag with a number printed on it. Every real Prada bag will have this tiny square tag somewhere in the interior. The number is the purse factory number. Check for a white dustbag with the Prada logo printed in black on it. A dustbag is a cloth covering similar to a pillow sham that protects a purse from dirt, sun exposure, and moisture.

It will also have a drawstring. Not all Prada bags come with a dustbag. Older purses may have a navy dustbag with Prada printed in gold. Examine the authenticity card for the right information and good quality. Each Prada bag comes with a sealed authenticity card that contains the serial number and purse style information. Signs of a forged authenticity card include uneven spacing between the letters and numbers, slanted lines, or low-quality printing. Fill out the contact form, making the subject line something like, "Please verify the serial number of my Prada bag.

Yes, all genuine Prada bags have an authenticity card. This card will display the serial number and information about the style of purse. It will be contained within a black envelope that has the Prada logo embossed into it. Not Helpful 4 Helpful No, you cannot sell fake or counterfeit purses on eBay.
