Default Re: Authenticate This! Prada or Miu Miu!
Hi Prada gals, could you please help me to authenticate a pair of shoes that I just bought? I know there's a "authenticate shoes" section but no one seems go there and I need your help asap because they look fake to me.
Here are some pics.



The right shoe's heat stamp is alot deeper than the left one.




The stamps inside are different colors too



The left shoe is slightly bigger than the right and some stitchings look off and there's a little bump. Could one of them be a sample/display shoe? Do they look fake to you? I love them so much it would be a shame if they ere fake. The box, dustbag and tag look ok to me, but if you need pictures of them just let me know.
TIA

The two bow bags look pretty bad. The tan one says "new with tags" but the photo with the bow close-up shows obvious wear and darkening (and other crap) on the bottom corner of the bag! the black one's bow looks like it's about to fall out, which isn't how the bow is actually made...! hope that helps! (i've been obsessing over the bow for quite a while and i'm pretty sure i can spot a fake now.. )

I don't normally authenticate shoes, but these look very, very fishy to me. I also looked at the degrade pair she has for sale now. I've had the real thing in that style on my feet. Sorry, but I think they are all fakes, including your boots.

I'm not sure how up on older Prada styles My Poupette is, but you could start by sending them the photos. Otherwise, if you really want to know, pack up the bag and send it. The feel of the leather is a tell all with Prada, so if they actually have the bag, it would help.

eBay doesn't give a flip. It's income for them. Just like they won't bust their butts to get rid of the counterfeiters because they make millions of dollars off the listing fees and final value fees on counterfeit sales. All they have to do is what they've done: the disclaimer that you aren't dealing with eBay. You're dealing with individual sellers....
