Okay, thank you for the information. I think I will be getting an authenticator to look at the bag also, just to clarify as I'm still unsure whether it is fake or not. There must be some reliability to Cocosa. I will see what they say. Thank you everyone for your advice and help. I hope it goes okay. Do you think if I brought it into a Prada store they would authenticate it for me? I'm planning on buying a Prada WOC soon so was hoping to get it checked at the same time.

It is FAKE - VERY VERY FAKE; VERY OBVIOUSLY FAKE; TOTALLY FAKE; 100% FAKE.

Two other authenticators have told you it's fake - which part of FAKE do you not understand?????????

Prada staff are not permitted to authenticate - their job is to SELL, not to waste time commenting on ebay purchases.

Hi,

Thank you for letting me know.
Do you know where I can get this authenticated and receive a professional statement saying it is fake? I will be taking this up with trading standards and hopefully getting a refund
I wish I came across purseforum before today! Will be sticking with buying direct from the store from now on.
Also would you mind letting me know the signs why it is fake? I don't want to fall prey again, feel so stupid, but thank you again.

If you need a statement of non authenticity you could try Fakespotters.com

You must pay their fee before you receive your statement.

I'm not in any way disputing that, but if there are any formal proceedings the buyer will have to show a formal report from a firm specialising in authenticating, or not authenticating, the bag.

And as you can see from my sorry saga, Cocosa has done everything possible to try to hang on to my money, and I had to take them to Court to get anywhere, so I'm dubious that they will suddenly change their ways...

I dunno about this one. I'm seeing some wonky details myself. I wouldn't touch it, at least not without some decent photos for a closer look.

And now, with the aid of clear daylight, and a little less NZ sauvignon blanc colored goggles, I can see a couple of really standout discrepancies - ooer....what was I thinking when I looked at this one????? I don't think it's authentic at all!!!

This one really is too old to be in my area of expertise, however I do not see anything which is inconsistent with what I know of these older styles. That said, these were counterfeited in their day (and more so recently, with much "better" copies, playing to the "vintage" market).

Thank you so much missfiggy. I'll just think it's real to make me feel good. :giggles: I'm ready to strut it around. :whistle:
