Prada SpA is busy in China these days. It's not just listing its shares on the Hong Kong stock exchange Friday and opening stores across the mainland. It is also increasingly manufacturing its high-end fashion there.

About 20% of Prada's collections—which range from bags and shoes to clothes for men and women—are made in China. The Milan-based company manufactures outside Italy in other cheaper countries such as Vietnam, Turkey and Romania, according to the IPO prospectus. In addition to the main Prada label, the company also owns Miu Miu, Church's and Car Shoe.

"Sooner or later, it will happen to everyone because [Chinese manufacturing] is so good," Prada designer Miuccia Prada said in an interview. She added that the Chinese are particularly good with shoes.
Therefore a lot of people adopt Chinese bag instead of using genuine ones for the price of high quality replicas is much lower. A high quality Chinese bag is not called high quality if it is poorly executed. So generally a high quality replica is fairly cost effective.
I suggest you buy these bags rather than the original, even an expert in handbags can tell them apart. But 1:1 Items are very scarcity, people only can find it in some secret shop or online retailers. The highest level of replica handbags enjoys the advantages of reasonable price, elegant in texture, exquisite workmanship and high cost performance, and thus is the best choice for those who can't afford the genuine article but long for genuine quality.
