Perhaps ask the seller when it was originally purchased - the date would give me some extra information one way or the other. So far though, I think it looks like one of the old original saffy totes, made before everyone got so excited about then, and made before several design changes which we have discussed by pm.

Hi ladies! I'm hoping these pics will be good enough to help authenticate. It is on Fashionphile, so the required fields for formatting don't really match? Is Fashionphile known for fakes or are they pretty reputable? Thanks for any help you can give!

Here is what they have:


Item Name: PRADA Cervo Antik Shoulder Bag Nocciolo Sfumato
Listing number: no listing
Seller ID: n/a
Link: http://www.fashionphile.com/prada-cervo-antik-shoulder-bag-nocciolo-sfumato-140602

Here is another one in hoping has enough info?

Item Name: PRADA Soft Calf Shoulder Bag Bruciato

Listing number: no listing

Seller ID: n/a

Link: http://www.fashionphile.com/prada-soft-calf-shoulder-bag-bruciato-140678
Click to expand...

As a rule, Fashionphile is reputable. That said, I've caught them selling fakes more than once. They're generally pretty responsive about taking fakes down when we've sent them notices, but in this day and time even THE most reputable resellers aren't immune from having the occasional fake slide into their inventory.

Both of these bags look fine. Love the bruciato soft calf. I've had that style in several colors over the years. Prada's soft calf is their best line along with their tessuto and vela lines.

Thank you so much Prada Psycho! Really appreciate all you ladies do with helping us out with not ending up with fakes. There was a similar bag to the bruciato that you helped authenticate for me on Yoogis a while back and I missed out on it. I better jump on this one so that I don't miss this one too. Thanks so much again!

Dear Authenticators,

I want to first start off by saying thank you very much for everything you are doing. You are certainly providing an invaluable service to many people out there that would otherwise be lost without your input. I purchased a Double Zip Saffiano Lux bag model 1BA274 for my wife recently as a surprise gift. I knew she had always wanted one of these bags but given the cost, it was financially prohibitive. I saw a deal on Groupon for said purse and spoke with Groupon customer service multiple times in order to ensure its authenticity. They stated this item was from Groupon Goods, and not a third party seller, and was from a authorized direct prada dealer, so I went ahead with the purchase. After receiving the item, I looked over all the subtle nuances that I had read online to ensure the item was genuine, but I still have my reservations after reading your blog. If you could please look over these images and provide me with your opinion/feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

Unfortunately the seller did not provide me photos from the lining yet. But I purchased it and thought I might go to the Prada store in Berlin and ask the employees there since they might have an eye for it. But what do you ladies think from the picture so far? :smile: Bes regards :heart:

Prada sales staff are forbidden to authenticate bags. It's their job to sell the Prada bags in their store.

Save your money and buy from a Prada boutique. There's nothing but fakes the route you're going.
