Experts. Found this bag along with another Prada at a local shop. They know me as a regular so I was able to take the bags home so I could post them here to get authenticated.

Seller claims this first bag ran $4,000.00 & was a limited edition. I have the cards and have already called Prada. No one at the 5th Ave shop in NYC knew of this bag even as a limited edition. The bag is supposed to be Python. The card say BN0095 Pitone with color Magnolia. The handles are just ribbon and the pink that you see is a satin. This bag is priced at $525.00 at this shop and I need to know it's authentic before I pay for it. I fell in love with this litthe bag and hope it's authentic

Hope you experts can help. TIA

Experts. This is the second bag. Pebbled grain leather. Whats throwing me off here is the Prada plate inside the bag is attached crooked and not one of my other Prada bags is crooked. Fakes are getting to good and just need to make sure as I have not paid for this yet either.

Seller: Consignment shop in CT.
Pictures: I took them

Thanks again

Pull the lining inside out and take some more pics of the lining. I can't see what I'm looking for in your pics and this style has been faked ad nauseum.

Hmm. Sure you want to pay $525 for this? Not worth it IMHO. I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt this sold for 4K. The style number is an older bag, early 2000's give or take.

Overlooking the editorial commentary, it appears to have all the appropriate hallmarks for an authentic Prada of this type. Pitone is Italian for python. The exotics have different details to look at and this one appears to be OK. Whether or not it's a limited edition, I can't say, it could however, be a style that was only marketed in Europe or Asia and that (along with the age of the bag) could easily explain why the local Prada folks might not know anything about it.

Could you post a pic of the cards you got with this? Just curious about something.

Here are more and I still have doubts. The small tag with the usual number inside the pocket is not as all of my others. fabric on this is real cheap and stapled which I just noticed. The feel of the lining also has a funny feel as felt by just handling for the shots. You can see the staple.

I am beginning to agree about the price. Especially since larger bags of same went for more less. here's the cards.
