I am considering trading for this Prada bag. I have bought or traded with this lady before, and all her bags have been authentic (here or Caroldiva). However, she told me this one does not have the Prada medallion on the front because it was a bag actually used on the runway for fashion week in NYC, and they left the tag off because it reflects with camera flashes and makes good photos difficult. Is this true that they sometimes leave the tag off for runway use on some Prada bags? The leather is super-soft, very much like the leather on my Chloe silverado, and everything else looks right to my semi-trained eye. Zippers are all Lampo, with the exception of the inner change pocket zipper, which is IPI. It is supposedly Cervo Antik deerskin (to me it just looks very worn, lol). Very well-made (and valuable, she says, as very few were made and the fact that it was used in the show), but I have to confirm before I make this trade. Thank you in advance for your help, and fyi, the pics that are orangy closeups are because sometimes when I photograph at night, the super-macro for some reason comes out orangy. Thanks again!!

Hi.

I am hoping that someone here can please help me to let me know if these two would be authentic Prada handbags. If there is not enough pictures please let me know and I will see what else I can find. I am relatively new to this and I tried to read up on the subject first. The two listings links are:

1)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270511571394

and

(2) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260536682513

Both have the COA's and paperwork, etc but I read that some nonauthentic ones also have this. The second seller claims to have the receipt.

Lastly, any idea on what are fair values for these two handbags.

Anyways thanks for any help that can be provided. If anyone here knows more questions I need to ask of the sellers can you please let me know. I just want to make sure what I get is authentic and I am trying to do up front home work.
