Spotting Fake Prada Belts

Spot Phony Prada Belts

In this guide (below) we will be highlighting a few details that should help you avoid purchasing a fake Prada belt. [Much of what is detailed in this guide is applicable to all Prada products.]

A good place to start on a Prada belt is the [R] font in the Prada logo. There is a distinct detail that an original Prada logo stamp-impression-label should always display: The crescent cut of the R.

Example of an authentic Prada belt logo:

A. Real Prada logo

Note: The slice that cuts west into the R is very distinct. It has almost a crescent shape and is very thin. Often times under lower magnification this detail can be difficult to detect. If shopping on ebay, try and use the magnification option on the image if this option is available.

Example of a fake Prada belt logo:

B. Fake Prada logo

† In this image, despite its low quality, you can see that the crescent detail is lacking in this font. Because the crescent detail is tiny in relation to the overall font, it can be easily overlooked in a less than perfect image.

Following the indication that the belt was fake due to the incorrect R font, we flipped the belt over and found more problems.

Backside of fake Prada belt:

I. Fake Prada label

II. Fake Prada font

I. This is an image of the entire "Prada made in Italy" stamp impression located on the back of the phony Prada belt pictured above. At a quick glance, this logo stamp might seem to be sufficient, however when detailed scrutiny is applied the major flaws surface.
II. Perhaps the most obvious flaw is the mashed up "m" stamp in the made in Italy portion of the label. This is clearly an error detail. The sloppiness is beyond anything Prada would allow. This detail alone would be enough to pass on this belt.

Further detail of the Prada label:

† Here again we run into the crescent problem. Under higher magnification, this R stamp clearly does not display the correct font detailing. This, (as well as the m stamp), would provide enough information to walk away from this belt.

Note: The (above) image is a good example of why detailed scrutiny should continue when a questionable trait is discovered early on in the inspection of luxury goods, (or any goods). As we saw earlier, the original fake Prada image (B) was a fairly blurry pic of the outer logo on the belt. It seemed to lack the crescent shape cut in the R (however, the image was not perfectly clear). But a fuzzy detail like this should always prompt an even greater level of scrutiny on all the remaining details. And in this case, as soon as the belt was flipped over, several quality error details were discovered. Namely, clear proof that the R font lacks the correct shape.
† So when something seems slightly off early on in the study, always increase the level of scrutiny and do not (neva-eva) give a questionable item the benefit of the doubt.
