I bought the wife a gen Prada purse for our anniversary in October and then a rep off Ali last month for a bit of fun. It is pretty bloody amazing. The wife is a bit funny about reps in general, but says she'll use this on holidays, at the beach and other places she wouldn't want to lose or damage her gen.

The good: pretty much everything. I reckon 99% of the population could see them side by side and not know which is which. There are differences, but sometimes the rep is better than the gen! For example, the synthetic lining of the coin pocket is embroidered with the prada logo, whereas the gen isn't. The stitching is spot on. The sheen of the leather is identical. The zips are great quality.
The bad: it's slightly smaller than the gen. The external logo is farther from the zip. It's missing a compartment inside. The little leather tag attached to the zipper is bigger on the rep. Shipping was ~ 1 month to Australia.
The inbetween: the packaging was a nice bonus, but looks pretty cheap and would be a giveaway if you were trying to pass it off as gen
Verdict: 9/10 and would definitely recommend.
