..the only thing is that its stamped with prada on the leather... I thought that was a sign of a fake..

It is, because no one outside of the "fashion circle" would appreciate a designer bag unless it has a label scrawled all over it ...

So, are you saying that Prada makes and sells Prada fakes...?

no?!

i'm saying that the counterfeiters stamp "prada" on the outside of the otherwise "plain" (logo-less) prada bags so people will buy them... and other people in turn will notice the people/person who bought said counterfeit bag/s and say "wow, it's prada! you totally are rich and totally aren't trying to be something you're not by putting on this authentic-prada-facade!" ... most people do not appreciate anything unless it screams "OMG LOOK HOW MUCH I PAID FOR THIS!," in other words.

When I first saw the bag, I thought it was beautiful...the leather is real smooth and I liked the look of it... later on when we went out at lunch I complimented it and she said thanks...no mention of prada...later on when I paid her a visit..the bag was sitting on her desk and I saw the prada emboss.. well anyhow the bag isnt more beautiful now that its prada..I wish it wasnt..b/c now I be damned to spend $$$$$$$$ on a bag just cause it has prada on it...

Prada does some time stamp their name on leather bags. It is a different type of stamping than your average fake, and is normally far less noticeable, but yes they do occasionaly logo stamp.

[pinkfairy]

Does anyone know how much these retail for?

I think it is kinda cute for a casual bag..

 

[mikeijames]

the messenger i have retailed at $570 two years ago.

 

[Jaim45]

Does anyone know where I can find this bag in brown?
If not, does anyone know a number to a Prada boutique that might sell it and is willing to ship it to me? Thanks

 

[LiTHiUMaDDiCT]

did you try calling your local Neimans and prada boutique?

 

[Jaim45]

^^ hey, I didn't know you came here too - I'm *PinkStiletto*

I haven't called anywhere yet because there are no Prada boutiques near me. I was hoping maybe someone had a number that I can call. I ordered the brown one and I thought everything was all set. Then, they emailed me saying that it was out of stock. I was so mad
