Hello,
I'm completely new to Prada and don't know much about the styles, but I've been looking for a specific model of the Gauffre tote for a long time. One came up on e-bay but the seller doesn't have much feedback. Could I have your expert opinion please on authenticity? Thank you.

Item: Prada Gauffre Black Leather Handbag
Item #: 220568611153
Seller: sabinestore
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/PRADA-Gauffre-B...&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=8447713805373504031
 
Can anyone please advice me on my new baby? I got her from www.lovehandbags.co.uk (a reputable seller according to some here on tpf) and am thus pretty sure she's authentic, but I'd just like to know for sure. Here are some pics. Thanks in advance!

Co-Oracles: MissFiggy and PP:
Time for a lofty, ethical debate?
I have a great Prada bag posted on eBay. A person who is bidding is
in South Korea and has bought some thirty high-end handbags in the past month.
Thirty.
Plus.
Chanel, Prada. And a few mid range, MJ. Et al.
Who buys thirty plus bags in a month?
Is this person potentially buying bags to knock off, do you think maybe?
That is not a criticism or indictment of any of our fellow handbag junkies
elsewhere on the planet in any way, shape, or form.
[Gosh! If I could buy (afford) thirty bags in a month, I'd... Well, actually, no, I would not!]
Think this is a reasonable presupposition?
Should I NOT sell to them?
How does one know?
Thoughts?
Meaning: If I sell a detail-laden/rich Prada to them, do you think
I am potentially fueling the knock-off makers date troves?
Ah, the joys of living a life of attempted ethical responsibility...
Thank you for your thoughts re this...
Cheers, marginally (but, at least, we ret to daylight savings mañana!!!),
WaH
 
The photos aren't that great, but from what I can make out, it looks authentic. Just make sure that's the bag you get. Post your own photos when you get the bag and we can have a better look then.

Thanks. She sent me some more pictures. The only concern I have is that the sides of the bag are different than the saffiano and tessuto totes I've seen. I'm not sure why this bag is different. Typically the side were pinched closed (probably not a great description, but the sides here flap out. Also the hardware that hooks the detachable strap are different than the standard saffiano tote. So confused! Not sure if I should buy this bag or not now.
