thanks for the reply..but could you tell me why it's fake???

Nope. Here's the "sermon" as to why.

We are constantly asked on this thread how we can tell a bag (or whatever) is fake, what details give it away. We don't answer those questions because among other things, we don't like giving scammers tips on how to improve their trash.

I do this by choice, so I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, but just on one clutch alone, I had to research multiple online sites, save photos on my computer so I can set them side by side and closely examine even the most minute detail. It's time consuming and it's not easy, folks!!!

I also am a Prada collector, though I will often go to Prada boutiques for the specific purpose to very closely examine the bags for each new season. I need to do that to look for details on authentic bags so I can bring it back here and hopefully provide accurate authentications.

Some items only take a glance, but more and more it's a fine art to discriminate fake from authentic.

This is why I say over and over that shopping on eBay or online shops other than reputable retailers is not for the uninitiated.

I will tell you that every single detail on that bag is wrong, so it's not hard to tell it's fake when you know what you're doing.

Please post some pictures of the lining, close ups with no flash and from several angles. The easiest way is to pull the lining inside out and then shoot your pics.

By the way, the "tarnishing" you refer to is intentional oxidation that Prada does on a lot of their metals now. I have several bags like that. It's not a defect.

Np. Thanks PP.
Got it from an ebay seller in Italy about 5-6 years ago but never got around to authenticate it.

Didn't miss it. I'm just totally not familiar with that style. Sorry.
