hi prada experts,
i recently purchased this soft calf bowler from Neiman marcus with their 33% off sale. style BL 0529. I just want to make sure it's Ok b/c i heard so many horro stories about fake being returned to department store during this busy season. The bag has retail tag attached, so it is a good sign.it's gorgy. i don't see any reflags, the leather, stiching look great. The only thing i concern is the main zipper is not riri, only the inside pocket zipper is riri M6. I 'm not sure if prada is consistent in using riri or matching their zipper. I'm MJ girl, with Mj, zipper has to be right.
here are the pictures, thanks

I'm guessing that the inside zipper pull is leather. Usually when the zipper pull is leather (and most of the time they are) the zipper will be RIRI or lampo, Prada is not consistent with the brand they use. However when the zipper pull is metal I have never seen them with RIRI or Lampo only blank. Also it's rare that a fake card would have the retail price listed on it, most of the time they are blank.

thanks, i bought it from neiman, so i guess they do have to check their bag if it was a return from a customer before they put it back on the shelf.
thanks again

I bought it from a second-hand store, but I also see the exact same thing on EBay, in completed listings, the auctions weren't cancelled by Prada.

:confused1: not sure I get your point here exactly. 50%, if not more, of what is for sale on eBay as being Prada is fake. Just because it doesn't get "cancelled" doesn't mean it's a legit item, it just means eBay is lazy and wont remove them (that's assuming they are reported which often times they aren't since it's a big fat waste of time and energy to do so!).

Hello there. I'm quite bothered about my Prada bag which I have been using since June 2009.

Item: Prada Bag Sacca Logo Jacquard Bleu KPB171
Listing Number: KPB171 2B6 F0008 00 or P101 2009 01163 C
Seller: Space Desert Hills Premium Outlets Seminole Drive Cabazon CA

Just want to know if the shop I mentioned only sells authentic Prada & Mui Mui. The bag came with Authenticity certificate card and a blue Prada dust bag. I know it's not supposed to be a blue one but sales person said it is an outlet store so don't expect everything is ok.

This is my first and one & only Prada bag and the first bag I've owned which wasn't bought directly from the boutique.

Hope you could help me, I'm kinda in a daze right now. The bag costs $619.88.

Thank you.
