It's only natural if you're paying so much, right?
Just because they are a sponsor does not make their goods authentic. If anything, it should make you more skeptical. (Good grief....)I've heard that some of their goods are and some of their goods aren't authentic (Hogwash), which is why I'm asking about that specific bag.

That particular style is nowhere to be found in America. How would one go about verifying the authenticity?

May I make a very strong suggestion to you? Confine your shopping to a Prada boutique and only a Prada boutique. It's clear from reading your other posts that you have issues that only a Prada sign on a concrete building will resolve and frankly, I'm not sure even then you'll be convinced you have an Italian made, authentic Prada bag.

Thanks. You mom, probably unknowingly, gave you a fake. Any ideas where she bought it? This bag was actually never even made by Prada in brown. Only raspberry and black.

What should I do? Should I give it back to her to send back so that she can dispute it? Should I report it to the authorities?? Is there anyway she can get her money back? what about telling her credit card company that she unknowingly bought a fake? She will be all but pleased when I tell her.

What about this bag:

Pop over to the Ebay subforum. There are tons of threads about what to do to get your mother's money back.

This black one looks fake, too. Post a couple more pics of the lining that are very clear so I can be sure.

I have gone over to the ebay forum already..Thanks. I cant get anymore close ups of the bag without the camera giving a flash that doesn't distort the pic. I do have the authenticity and upc. Can I register the bag somehow to check?

No. The cards are going to be faked as well and even if it was authentic, they aren't like Chanel cards. They are used strictly for stock/inventory purposes. Prada doesn't register bags or give any of their bags identifying serial numbers.
