I'm so sorry, but I do not believe that this is authentic.

PP, will you please give me a second opinion?????

Definitely fake. No doubts at all.



Again, thank you Missfiggy & PsychoPrada. The same style is on sale @ Bluefly. ( Here is the link just in case you are interested http://www.bluefly.com/prada-saffiano-cuir-leather-tote/p/380838604/detail.fly?pcatid=cat20428 ) Are they a reputable company? Sadly, the local Prada store here in Houston do not carry this color.


Thanks for your time, you both have a great holiday!

Bluefly is usually ok for authenticity, however if you get this one make sure to have it authenticated also. Occasionally Bluefly has been caught out with fakes.

I remember two of those Blue Fly debacles very well. Did you notice this disclaimer in their listing?

Ships from and sold by a Bluefly Marketplace Partner.

Does this mean that they are using a dropshipper?

Item Name: Prada grey green Glace Distressed Leather Hobo
Comments:
I was told this was not original because of the tarnished hardware and the sticking.
I believe this is an authentic vintage prada bag but I am no expert. I hope you guys have time to check it out. happy holidays!

This looks to be authentic. Does that look like supergloo drops in the damage on the base??? If it's supergloo it absolutely can NOT be repaired.

And Merry Christmas to you.

ABSOLUTELY and WITHOUT ANY DOUBT - THIS IS 100% FAKE.

I'd go so far as to suggest that the seller is fully aware that this is fake and is setting up a bait and switch. They probably bought something from Saks but it was not this bag, so they are using a false receipt, as well as the way the cards are photographed on the listing - all the telltale signs are ALMOST hidden. This seller is a deliberate and knowing scammer.

I hope this information doesn't ruin your Christmas.

Thank you missfiggy for confirming this. As soon as I received a bag, I wasn't convinced that it's authentic. I also contacted the seller right away letting him know that I'm suspicious and I'll get the bag authenticated. I just found out that he has now removed the listing! What a scammer???!!! I gave him another chance by letting him know that I want to return the bag and seek refund. I'll wait and see otherwise I'll ask eBay to step in.

I also applied a little something I learned from the Gucci episode. One of the posters put multiples in her cart and they didn't run out until somewhere around 35. I tried that with the Prada and got up to (at least) 10 before I gave up. I haven't shopped BF in several years, but I recall that they only had a very few of a style available. Whoever the third party is, they have multiples of these bags.

Good news!!!! He has NOT removed the listing. Ebay has done that in response to a report. You may receive an email from ebay telling you that the listing has been removed because the item is fake. It will contain instructions on how to claim back your $$$. If you do not receive an email in the next day or so, contact ebay and begin a dispute. Best of luck.

Multiples of bags is ALWAYS a concern. Thanks for the info Poopsie.

I haven't bought new Prada for YEARS, and nothing from Bluefly for a long time. So I was not aware of the new set up. Stinks to high heaven as far as I'm concerned. Another opportunity for scammers to get their fakes into the market.
