Hi missfiggy, apologies on the wrong format. It came from this app called carousell, it's an app in Malaysia whereby you could sell new or preloved items. In this case, the seller claim that the bag is from Japan hence there are some disperancies in each country(doesn't make sense doesn't it). Learnt my lesson hard enough, I'll prolly just go on the safe side and buy it from a REAL boutique albeit its costly but at least I know it's AUTHENTIC.

Hi missfiggy or anyone else! I've been a silent lurker for so long here, but I recently bought a used Prada Lux Saffiano Tote and was wondering if anyone could help authenticate it for me?

Item Name: Prada Lux Saffiano Tote in Nero
Listing number: 221960787449
Seller ID: Ebay greatneckgreat

Comments: The quality of the leather and most of the branding is very good quality, but what makes me wonder is that the dust bag came with no Prada tag or branding on it, despite having a nice leather drawstring, as well as the branding on the bottom button and side buttons, but on some authentic purses I've noticed the branding for those buttons aren't as clear as well. Thank you so much in advance anyone!

Yep...just as I thought, it's fake.

And no, we do not give instructions on how to authenticate. It takes literally years of study, purchase, collesting, prowling, stalking etc.

And if we put up our secrets online, then counterfeiters would use the information to make their foul forgeries even more hard to detect.

I understood. Thank you for your advise. Good thing i check with you, cause I really couldn't tell the difference. Is this a good fake at least, or am that bad at authenticating it? :roflmfao:

This bag will be shipped back to Groupon. Have you seen any real one from Groupon? The price is just sooo good...

I don't see anything that screams fake, but you must be aware that the black saffiano totes are the most often counterfeited and they are extremely well faked.

The bag is a reasonably good fake and most people would be hard pressed to identify that it was fake.

I have NEVER seen an authentic Prada on Groupon.

And of course the price is soooo good. Only fakes can be sold at such cheap prices.
