Hi,

In regards to my enquiry above, this is the picture of the tag i was talking about. Any comments?

Is there any possibility that what I bought from Rome Fiumicino airport's Prada shop is fake? I bought it 2 weeks ago. On top of the 15% VAT refund, I got another 40% off from the Gauffre. Problem is, the authentification card says it is a BN1338 Vernice Gaufre Bianco. But I can't seem to find this online. I bought it at 704 Euro. Is it an ok price?

Can someone help me authenticate or clarify my doubts? Thanks.

Fakeaphobia is running rampant lately. You bought it AT Prada and you think it's fake??? Oy!!

This is almost too much to type, but I'll do it anyway: authentic.

Never ever, ever, ever shop for black nylon Prada anything on eBay or online. You'll get a knockoff without question. Shop at Prada for black nylon bags. Period.

Oopsie oopsie!

I am so sorry. Ha! Thanks Prada Psycho for the hard knock on the head. I am well awake now.

That's my first Prada and after not being able to find it on the Internet, I got a little paranoid.

Thanks for attaching the one in red.

No problem. I swear, I think everyone on tPF needs to take a break from this place right now. There are so many little dramas around what are fake bags that everyone is seeing the Boogie Fake Bag Man around every corner!!!

Hi Rosemary,
Many thanks for your opinion.
Oh dear.... i am so nervous right now. So that means I've got myself a fake?
These are more pics for final conclusion (sorry i didnt attach them earlier as i had a hard time cropping the file size to make them smaller)...

I'm no expert but i thought that with the Lampo zippers, it should be alright.
I guess i may be wrong.

Pls have one final look at the additional photos attached.
Thanks again Rosemary.

I certainly hope so: The Purse Forum/Purse Blog has a special area called Purse Blog Store on BlueFly that highlights BlueFly bags!

http://www.bluefly.com/Designer-Purs...-ed00/list.fly

But to cut to the chase: authentic bags, great customer service, super selection, though often the prices are way high, especially when Prada goes on sale at the boutiques and retailers.
