You are the sole reason why we all call come to Milan” - Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintor giving praise to the Prada brand. And she's right. There's not much out there that exceeds Prada. The large part of their revenue is made with leather products, such as bags and shoes. The bags are particularly favoured by counterfeiters. Prada shoes glistern on the stone boulevards of the exclusive shopping district of Quadrilatero d'Oro.

There are no less than five Prada boutiques to be found in Milan, at the most exclusive addresses, of course. You can't escape Prada in Milan anyway, so take a look in one of their stores. The store outfit is just as exquisite as the products on offer, but at some point the price tags will make you dizzy. So what about the counterfeited products then? Our tip: Buy yourself an authentic gem from Prada at least once in your life, and leave the inferior copies behind.
