I haven't had occasion to use it on our new AT thread, so here it is:

Quote:

Since it's Sunday, I feel the need to add a little sermon based on the issues related to authenticating. We are constantly asked on this thread how we can tell a bag (or whatever) is fake, what details give it away. We don't answer those questions because among other things, we don't like giving scammers tips on how to improve their trash. I do this by choice, so I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, but just on one clutch alone, I had to research multiple online sites, save photos on my computer so I can set them side by side and closely examine even the most minute detail. It's time consuming and it's not easy, folks!!! I also am a Prada collector, though I will often go to Prada boutiques for the specific purpose to very closely examine the bags for each new season. I need to do that to look for details on authentic bags so I can bring it back here and hopefully provide accurate authentications. Some items only take a glance, but more and more it's a fine art to discriminate fake from authentic. This is why I say over and over that shopping on eBay or online shops other than reputable retailers is not for the uninitiated. End of sermon...

The Cera Gaufre is authentic. The black bag is fake.

Hallo from Sydney Australia. I really hope I have posted in the right place... I have read the rules and read through the previous posts. I have been given a 'Prada' bag by my husband today who bought it at a garage sale. Now, I guess it is probably NOT genuine but I would like some guidance please.

It has red tags, no triangular Prada badge on the front but has a square metal Prada badge inside, it has Prada written all over the internal lining.

I am a newbie to forums and hope you bear with me.

I am happy to take further pictures if requested, though my camera is not great.
