Prada
Uncompromising validation of Prada authenticity, backed by years of operational expertise.
A Brief History of Prada
Prada was founded in Milan in 1913 by Mario Prada as a leather goods shop specializing in high-quality trunks, accessories, and luxury materials. Under the leadership of Miuccia Prada from the late 1970s onward, the brand shifted toward a minimalist, intellectual aesthetic that redefined modern luxury. Prada became famous for its innovative use of nylon, its architectural approach to design, and its fusion of classic craftsmanship with modern experimentation. Today, Prada is still under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada, alongside Raf Simons and remains a global leader in fashion, accessories, and footwear.

The Most Counterfeited Prada Models
These iconic Prada pieces are frequently targeted by counterfeiters. We recommend professional authentication to ensure your item is authentic.
Prada Re-Edition Nylon Bags (2000 & 2005)
Highly popular and simple in construction, making them prime targets for counterfeiting—especially the triangle logo and zipper details.
Prada Galleria (Saffiano Lux)
Replicas often fail to match the exact Saffiano texture, structured silhouette, and hardware engravings.
Prada Cleo
Its sleek, curved design is frequently copied, though counterfeit versions usually reveal inconsistencies in leather finish and stitching.
Prada Cahier
The complex metal hardware makes it a popular yet difficult-to-copy model; counterfeit versions often have inaccurate engravings and proportions.
Triangle-logo small leather goods
Wallets, pouches, and cardholders with the iconic metal triangle are extremely frequent targets of mass-produced fakes.
