Prada Psycho,
Yes, the mall is in Great Mall, Milpitas, CA.
Thanks a lot for your help! My friend got shocked and still has hard time to believe that it is a fake. She sends me photos of the guarantee card of the bag and I found that the font in the 3rd photo is different from that on a guarantee card of my prada bag purchased from Neiman.

Anyway, thanks a lot and I may pm you for help if she gets a hard time to return the bag.

Is this place in a mall in California? Forget which city.

It's an absolute fake, by the by.

Edit note: never mind. I answered my own question. That place is NOTORIOUS for selling fakes. Call the cops. We've had several people post the crap that place sells. The last person had to fight HARD to get her money back, but she did get it back (and the management of the store stuck the bag right back on the shelf!!).

Edit note #2: here's the thread about that place. Be sure to click the link in post number six and read that story. It's the one I'm referring to.

Prada does contrast stitching, so the white on black doesn't mean anything.

Honestly, there have been so many fakes of this style that I'm not 100% certain, but this one looks like it could actually be one of the rare authentic moon bags out there.

She stated she had he original receipt and she would send it with the bag, and put this website in her auction and to come here and have it authenticated. However, these days, having a receipt does not mean much of anything. Would you be able to tell more if I took photos of the authenticity card and receipt and receipt and posted them after i receive this purse? Idf not, I may just return it as soon as i get it in the mail.

Thanks again.

I really don't need to see any more pics. It's definitely fake.

There are a couple of photos I'd be curious to see, but not of the card or receipt. When you get the bag in you hands, drop back into this thread and I'll give you instructions.

I'm not familiar with this specific style, but even with the plain nylon lining, there should still be an inside logo tag (not just the one in the side seam in the pics).

Thank you very much for your opinion, Prada Psycho.
Mean other parts look okay, but only inside logo tag is missing?

The inside logo tag mean the one with square shaped plate? like this one?
I will ask the seller about this again but seems there no more left.

Authentic, but if you've never owned a python bag, know in advance they are pretty high maintenance. The scales can dry out, flake off and the finish tends to be rough, so it will snag delicate fabrics. If you look at some of the close up shots and use the zoom feature, you'll see what I mean.

I bought this a few years ago on ebay (stupid me). I wish I had known about this forum back then. Please help me authenticate so I'll know once and for all. Thanks!

Yes, one of this type tag or it might be the larger one made of a square piece of leather, like in this one:

By the way, the tag in your picture looks like a fake tag. Could be the angle of the photo, but it looks fishy to me.

Take an angled photo of the triangle logo tag and this inside logo tag. Or just run your finger over them. Can you feel the writing (is it raised) or does it feel smooth?

They both feel slightly raised if I run my finger over it. The raise on the triangular logo feels more subtle than the one inside. Sorry it's hard to get a good picture of the triangular logo.
