Bought a fake Prada bag for almost $500. How do I know it was fake? Well, the bag was listed as BR3571 a "vitello diano leather shopper handbag". When I received the bag the certificate of authenticity described the bag as "Nappa stripes". Even worse the paper certificate of authenticity had BR3571 and then lower down BN3571. The problem I learned with the name is that Vitello means calfskin and daino means deerskin; neither is nappa leather.

Also, dead giveaway, the "brass fitments" came wrapped in paper and plastic. The reason is to stop the spray on gold paint from scratching in shipment. Prada bags have real brass which does not need the protection and so have no paper or plastic on them. The paint feel was obvious. Other than that the fake was very well done indeed. The stitching was very high quality and the zipper was a genuine one.

When I called, Fashion 58 said "no problem" we will get you another authenticity card. I asked how could that be done? If the card can just be made independently from the bag what exactly is it authenticating? No answer.

Another red flag was the complete lack of shock, horror or argument when I told them that they were selling fake goods. The response was an immediate "no problem" ship it back and we will pay for shipping etc. In other words, the philosophy was to fly under the radar.

Stay far far away from this site if you value your money.

How these folks get away with this is amazing. I put a call into the FBI ---"Yawn".
Beware.
