Designer Handbag Bible

Fancy a flashing messenger bag? This might be the one for you: Silver Prada Gauffre Messenger Bag.

See how Jessica Biel handled this? She really fully loaded it!

It suits Sandra Bullock more.

This messenger looks like a diaper bag. With that long strap you will have free hands to hold a baby. With that roomy space you can store more than one milk bottle!

A replica in silver. The trim should be in a slightly different color, not the same color.

The lining of a replica - creamy Prada logo lining is wrong.

An authentic one on eBay:

The authentic lining is black Prada logo.

If you find the authenticity card has the correct name for the bag, 90% of chance this is authentic because most Prada replica come with a wrongly-named card!

Does this Royal Calf Clutch from Prada 08 Fall Collection remind you of roses? They are star-shaped pleating, somehow it looks like roses to me.

See how the replica looks like - the pleating on a replica looks like daisy!

The authentic clutch costs $1060. That is a lot of money for a tiny clutch. But after you see the replica you should know the real clutch does worth the money. The craftsmanship is way too complicated on the authentic clutch.

This small Prada bag has too many colors at first sight. But The more I look at it, the more I like it. It has a few color combination.

turquoise-violet combination:

FUSCIA-VIOLET combination:

The inside of the authentic one:

Let’s look at some replica photos:

a replica of FUSCIA-VIOLET combination. It is made of nappa outside.

inside of the replica.

This fuscia-violet replica has the same lining as the authentic one. But in most cases, the lining of a replica is man-made leather, while the real one is made of real leather lining.

A replica of turquoise-violet Stripes hobo

the Prada logo lining is wrong!

A replica I found on ebay has the wrong lining too!!!

Also I found the authentic leather is moisturized - it looks like there is a layer of condition on it. The replica leather is dull without any gloss.

What does an authentic Prada Fairies Bag look like? I know this bag is a limited edition, seldom people has the chance to see it.

Here is an authentic Prada fairies bag I found from eBay Hongkong. It is from a real designer second-hand shop Milan-Station in Hongkong.

From the photos, the authentic bag’s leather does look white, glossy yet distressed (what we called the texture of leather).

Its hardware is shiny, not matt-finish!

dark rose pink shiny leather lining - this does look like the replica’s lining I found in the previous post.

There is a second Prada label inside the bag!!

I found a Prada fairy bag online one month ago. It looks very similar to the real bag but with much less money. I know it must be a fake.

a close-up of the paint - it looks it is made of lambskin -

inside picture: it claims it has rose pink leather lining inside. but this shiny material must be man-made leather.

Overall, it is a nice bag. But I know the authentic Prada Fairies bag’s leather is slightly glossy. This replica’s leather looks matt from the photos.

A few weeks ago I mentioned there was no replica Prada Fairies bag.  Well,  there is now. I found some good quality ones and some poor quality ones..

Here is the poor quality Prada Fairies bag - No need to explain what the bad copy part is.   just check the fairy …  Also,  the golden hardware is horribly yellow-golden!

Here is a good copy:

I found something interesting from this Prada Fairies bag: it has double zipper closure.   The main compartment zipper is wrapped by two parted decor zipper!  check it here:
