Prada, Coach, Fendi....Oh, My!

Everyone young and old alike knows the name brands, but not many can afford the name brand prices. I have become an avid secret admirerer to them and pine for them all from afar, but no more my fellow fashion divas! Now, I bring you Lusso Boutique!

Genuine Prada, Coach, Fendi and more at discount prices. One such steal of a deal I found while drooling through their web site was the below Prada Handbag. Genuine carmel colored leather and silvertone hardware.

You know this is the real deal and not a knockoff or look-alike because it has the Prada signature lining. You can take home this genuine article for only $225, normally ringing in at a minimum $800, making this indeed a bargain of today's findings!

Tips for Getting the Real Deal on a Designer Handbag:

1) Look at the Prada name on the emblem, look at the R in Prada if the right leg on the R is strait-- its fake, if it curves in --its real.

2) The background of the Prada plate, usually should be the same color as the bag.

3) The metal on the bag, even the buttons, should be engraved with the word Prada.

4) The tag inside the bag must say PRADA MADE IN ITALY exactly.

5) The lining should say Prada going horizontal all over it ( For example: Prada~Prada~Prada~), its Pradas signature lining that is used in most of their bags and the fake bags will have something that looks like it but it won't say Prada!

6) It should have a serial number from Prada and come with authenticity tags and a dust bag (please note if someone is selling a used Prada bag and all 5 things above are present but they do not have the item number, authenticity tags, or dust bag ask questions about where they bought it from, some people don't keep those things after buying a bag)!

ALSO:
Fake/counterfeit Prada bags sometimes have wrapping on handles and hardware. This plastic or paper wrapping is NEVER seen on an authentic bag.
