What a pathetic attempt to palm off a fake. Notice the date on the "authenticity" card. Now check the date on the "sales receipt" in the other photo.

Thank you! thank you! thank you so much Prada Psycho for this information :smile::smile::smile:. I was about to meet the seller tonight to pay for the bag :sad:. You're my saviour!!! I hope it's ok just so I understand what you noticed with the Authenticity card (at least next time I can easily see the red flags when I see one), is it the date in the card with the red box in below sample photos? I really thought it was authentic because I did check the date in the card and the receipt and they both have the same date. What's actually confusing is the card with the barcode. Also did some back reading and saw one posting with almost the same information as my seller's barcode card except for the "2016" number, and it was also fake :shocked:. I'm really quite new to this and this was supposed to be my first Prada bag...

Thank so much!:heart::heart::heart: Keep it up ladies! Really grateful!

The bag, the cards and the receipt are all fakes - easy to acquire too. Most fakers' websites will provide fake documents on request.
And it's not just one little date on these which makes them fake, and it's not just one little date which makes you an expert on picking fakes either. It's the result of YEARS AND YEARS of BUYING, selling, browsing. It's far better to ask for expert advice when it comes to authentication - rather than take a guess and base that guess on one little factor. There's plenty of fakes and superfakes out there and they are not easy for the experts to pick, let alone the everyday buyer.

Hello wonderful people.
A while back I had made an authenticiate request, it has long passed so its not that, I just wondered whether I had perhaps forgotten to mention something in my request? I truly appreciate how busy you all are so if that's all it is I completely understand! I was more worried about perhaps being unintentionally rude or missing some part of the request as I was new to the Prada thread.
Sorry for taking up your time everyone, I just want to be as thorough as I can be as I know that all this work is done purely to help others. Many thanks to you all.

Sorry you think you were missed, but I think that this one was one about which it was utterly impossible to make any assessment. No red flags, but not really enough details in the photos.

Hi ladies! I would really appreciate if you could authenticate this Prada Saffiano Lux in Argilla. I am the only bidder, and the listing ends in a couple of hours. If it turns out to be fake, I will contact PayPal and get my money back. Hopefully it's not, cause I think it's such a beautiful bag!!


Item Name: Authentic Prada Saffiano Lux Leather Double Zip Tote Bag in grey
Listing number: 252629155568
Seller ID: momo010182
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-P...-grey/252629155568?&autorefresh=true#viTabs_0
Comments: The R doesn't seem curved in the picture, but I might be wrong. The seller says she/he bought it from Via Condotti in Rome. (Which is also what it says on the receipt) Let me know if you need any additional pictures! The seller usually replies quickly.

Thanks so much!

Your photos are way too small to be useful and the photos in the listing aren't the best. However from what I can see there are no red flags. This is one of the older style saffy totes, where the side piping did not go all the way to the bottom of the seam. These were faked but they were all older style, obvious, fakes and much easier to pick than the new superfakes. I haven't yet seen a superfake of this older style. From what I can see I'm leaning towards authentic for this one. Post more comprehensive photos when you get the bag.
