You can be sure of finding many new designs made of various materials. Although the leather bags are the most popular, you can also find other materials which might be more affordable and trendy if you match them well with your outfit. But since these bags are so famous and people love to buy them, there are many frauds in the market who want to capitalize on the fact that everyone is looking for an avenue to purchase these bags at cheaper rates. However, you can still identify the authentic bags from Prada if you know what to look for.

  • First of all, find out what the original Prada logo looks like. Then look for this logo on the bag. The logo consists of an inverted triangle in which the symbols and letters are slightly raised. The color of the logo matches that of the leather bag. The authentic bags have the logo embossed on the bag but most of the replicas have only the logo printed on the bags. This can be a significant point of distinction.
  • The interior of the Prada bag will hold a metal plaque which is held securely on all sides to the interior of the bag. The plaque can be found on the lining of the interiors and is of the same color as the leather of the bag. The plaque should be consistent with the Prada logo and the hardware of the bag. The lettring is usually done in silver or gold.
  • The hardware of the Prada bag is also equally important. You will find only gold, silver or rose-colored hardware on all Prada bags. The logo of the designer will be prominently embossed on all the hardware.
  • The lining is of very good quality and has the Prada name written on it. There is a particular fabric used in all Prada bags and the color of the fabric is the same as of the leather outside.
  • The authenticity cards are a must and you can locate them inside the bag. They will have the Prada name on them along with the signature signifying that it is an original. There is also a plastic card that tells you the name of the model and other details which make it unique. You also get a document with a bar code and certification of authenticity.

The Prada bags are a pleasure to behold and you will love to possess one. If you follow the above instructions, you will never be fooled. There is absolutely nothing wrong in buying a replica, provided you know about it. The store or the online site should not offer you an authentic Prada bag but give you a replica while you pay a small fortune thinking that you are buying the original. Although the replicas are very good imitations of the original bags, yet in order to keep the price down, they compromise on the material and stitching, which can point to their being fakes.

In fact, they are priced quite heavily and only the rich and famous can afford to buy these bags. At the same time, it is quite natural for the not-so-rich to wish to possess these bags. Thus, arises the need to look for the wholesale authentic handbags. You will hardly find the designers offering discounts or making end-of season sales. But a few of the authorized sites may feel inclined to sell these designer bags at cheaper rates. You should be observant and intelligent enough to look for deals when you can get these bags on wholesale.

  • You may be interested in getting these bags wholesale so that you too can set up a store and sell these bags for a profit. For this, you must conduct a research on the wholesale distributors and suppliers for a particular designer or all designer bags in general. Most of these outlets on the Internet are frauds and you will only get fake designer bags for a lot of money. Some designers are particular about selling their bags wholesale and you should be aware of it. This will prevent you from getting into unwarranted situations. Don’t pay for any bag through money order as these cannot be traced easily.
  • If you can locate a good wholesaler, then find out the minimum number of items you have to order at a time. If they agree to drop the shipping charges, you can get the bags at cheaper rates.
  • Once you find a wholesaler, you can ask to see the authenticity tags and other documents which can prove that the bags are originals. The bags should arrive at your place in perfect order, that is, in their original dust covers. The wholesalers will have someone at the front desk to handle your order. You should be able to communicate with them so that the order is given correctly and the bags arrive in good condition and on the specified day.
  • If the wholesaler has credibility, he will agree to give you a written guarantee with a money back policy. This will ensure that you can inspect the bags after you get them and verify that they are completely original. In case you find anything wrong in them, you can send back the merchandise and get your money back. If the wholesalers do not deal with authentic bags, they will never agree to do this.
  • There are certain institutions which register complaints against the business companies in the market. If you search for any case registered against the wholesaler you are considering and find that he has a bad reputation in the market, you should never deal with him. It will only lead to a scam.
  • Find out about all the features of the designer handbags you want to buy. These bags have a certain look and quality which can never be found in the fake bags. The main things you should notice are the authenticity cards, the serial number, the material quality, the quality and color of the stitching and the logo of the designer embossed on the bag and on all the hardware on the bag. This will help you identify the authentic bags.

Locating a wholesaler for designer handbags can be a big problem but the worse problem is to be sure that whatever you purchase from the wholesaler is authentic. You have to do a lot of research and study for this.

There are some general features which are present in all the authentic designer bags like sophistication and quality. When you are paying a small fortune to buy a Fendi bag, you should feel confident enough to flaunt it in front of your friends. You are buying the bag because of its good looks and grand style so that you can look trendy and fashionable and even rub shoulders with the ones who matter in the fashion world. It is not a problem if you buy replica bags for a much lower cost provided you are aware of it. But if you are paying for an original Fendi, you should obviously get one.

  • The stitching is something which can help you find out if the Fendi bag is authentic. You will find the stitches completely straight with all the stitches even and of the same color as the material of the bag. There will be no loose, uneven or missing stitches.
  • It will not be an easy task to copy the Fendi logo entirely and so if you are familiar with the exact logo, you should be able to spot an authentic bag. The Fendi name will be embossed on the leather and not just printed. You will be able to feel the unevenness of the material where the logo is embossed.
  • All hardware present on the Fendi handbag will have the Fendi logo. The replicas will not be so particular to have the exact logo on all the hardware on the bag.
  • When you buy a Fendi bag, the store will hand over the bag with a cover over the hardware to protect the bag from dirt and other abrasions. The covers will be removed when you take possession of the bag.
  • The Fendi bag too has an authenticity card which is made of leather. You should be able to locate this card inside the bag that you purchase. If this card is missing, you can be sure that it is a fake.
  • Now Fendi bags are being provided with hologram stickers to recognize if they are authentic. These hologram stickers will only be visible under a magnifier as they are encoded and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
  • All Fendi bags have serial numbers which are found on the leather that is inside the bag. This serial number is a number and does not have any alphabets in it. The serial number should be there at the right place on the bag.

If you are careful about noticing these few details, you will be able to find an authentic Fendi without much problem. The replica bags are now being manufactured as close look-alikes of the original bags. But since the price of these bags is too less, you can find the difference in the quality of the material of the bags and the clarity of the logo. If you buy Fendi bags from authorized outlets, there is very little chance that you will be handed a fake.

At the same time, you will also wish that the bag lasts you a long time and looks like new at all times. Sometimes, the bag will look old and will gather dust even when you are very conscious about it. You need to clean the bag from time to time so that it retains its good looks. However, since these bags can be made of various materials, you need to know the right method of cleaning all types of bags. This will help you to keep the Dooney and Bourke bag in the best condition.

  • Leather – Since you buy a Dooney and Bourke bag with high expectations, you will surely not be disappointed. The manufacturer gives the best quality leather in the bags which are scratch-resistant and water-repellant. So don’t be scared when you see the leather look discolored when it gets wet accidentally. It will get back its original color when the leather dries out. If the bag looks dirty, you can use distilled water to clean it. Just soak a piece of soft cotton cloth in this water and rub it gently on the surface of a mild bar soap. Clean the bag gently and with circular motion. To make sure that no soap remains on the surface of the bag, clean again with cloth dipped in plain distilled water. Allow the bag to dry out completely and you will get back the original look of the bag again. However, if the bag gets discolored by lipstick or ball point pen, the spots cannot be cleaned. You will have to bear with the spots. No creams and polishes should be used on Vacchetta leather bags. They will naturally change color with time.
  • Suede – Most of the Dooney and Bourke handbags made of suede are water repellant but if you still find the bag getting soaked, you should use a soft dry cloth to dab at the wet places to absorb the excess moisture. The suede material has a unique texture and the raised fibers on the material are called the nap. A suede brush is available which can be used to raise this nap and make the bag look its best again. Try not to carry the bag out when it is raining or there is snowfall. The unique material may get spoilt. You should also store the bag in a cool and dry place so that it remains unharmed by the changing climatic conditions.
  • Grafica – This is a poly-vinyl coated fabric and is also water-repellant. If you find it looking dirty, you can use the same method as for leather. Use a soft cotton cloth to dab on a mild bar soap and rub the bag with circular motions. Wet it first with some distilled water and finally get rid of the soap on the bag with the cloth dipped in distilled water again. The bag should be left to dry out completely before you use it again.
  • Clear Plastic – The process of cleaning any clear plastic material, which is usually found in totes, is also the same. You can use the same soft cotton cloth and distilled water along with a mild bar soap. If some scuff marks still remain, you can use a soft white eraser to clean the area with some pressure and circular motions.
  • General – The same method is to be used. If the spot is oily, then dab at the spot with a clean and soft cloth to remove excess oil. Then sprinkle some talcum powder on the spot and allow it to rest for some time. Then use a dry toothbrush to get rid of the talcum powder. The bag should look clean now. If you want, you can follow it up with the regular cleaning method with distilled water.

This is how you can clean almost any Dooney and Bourke handbag. Be careful when you use the bag and make sure that you keep it away from dyes of any kind. Cleaning it regularly will make it look like new for a long time.

It also has functional value as the briefcase is spacious enough to house all your important documents and belongings. You can also carry these things in an ordinary bag but it will not add elegance to your personality. The leather briefcase is available for a high price and hence should be looked after well. But sometimes, despite your best efforts, the briefcase tends to gather dirt and moisture and can really feel sticky. You will certainly not like this sticky texture of your leather briefcase. There are specific instructions you can follow to keep the bag looking like new. The cleaning should be done in a way which will not damage the bag in any way.

  • Contrary to common belief, a soft cotton cloth, distilled water and a mild soap are not the answers to a sticky leather briefcase. You must use a proper leather-conditioning cleaner. This cleaner is easily available in all stores which sell leather goods, including the place where you had bought this briefcase. The cleaner is available in two forms: liquid or pre-coated wipes.
  • Take a soft clean cotton cloth and if you have bought a liquid leather conditioner then moisten the cloth with it. Identify the area on the briefcase which feels sticky. Rub gently on that area with circular motions with the help of the cloth. If you have several areas on the briefcase which feel sticky, then choose one area at a time to work on. Don’t scrub too hard as it is unnecessary. Keep moistening the cloth with the cleaner and rub on the surface of the briefcase.
  • Once you have finished cleaning the sticky briefcase, allow it to dry completely. The leather conditioner usually dries off very fast. Now see if the stickiness is gone. If not, repeat the process again and keep on doing it till the stickiness is gone. Dry the briefcase well before you use it again.
  • If you are very fond of your leather briefcase then you might try to prevent any damages on it. To keep it in good condition, you can guard the briefcase against stains and spots. Don’t spill beverages on it and if you do, try to dab at the liquid on the briefcase with a clean cloth so that it does not penetrate inside. If you get caught in the rain with the briefcase, then you should also dab it dry and then let it dry completely before using it again. You must keep the insides of the briefcase clean as well. By preventing any stain or other damages, you can keep the briefcase clean. Timely action will help the briefcase to remain in a great condition for years.
