Would you fabulous authenticators please confirm the authentic of this bag for me? I usually only buy Prada bags in nordstrom/saks but this style was sold out everywhere so I had to buy it from the reseller. I already received the bag, it feels/looks/smells authentic to me. Let me know if you need more pictures. Do you know the model and year made of it? It did not come with any cards so I'm not sure. Thank you very much and your help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like I was not welcomed in this Prada thread! Shamed!!!!

Um...we don't live here. We come in on our own free time; we do it free of charge; we do it on our own terms and don't necessarily answer every request immediately. Some requests need a little time and research. Your request has only been up a little over 24 hours so perhaps, instead of carping and moaning that this FREE SERVICE is not quick enough, you could have just a little patience.

Page 1 of this thread clearly states:

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format or for any reason they choose.

That doesn't mean we deliberately ignore or overlook posts either.

Sheeesh......sense of entitlement........much!!!!!

Dear missfiggy, I thought my request was ignored so I was a little upset, that was all. I didn't know my request needed more time and research or whatever, my apology. I also understand you do "your own terms/rights" in here but screaming out loud was not necessary. The bag I asked for authentication is authentic FYI. Thank you anyway for taking your time posted such a long one.

I hope the photos I've taken are enough for you to authenticate.
Thank you in advance.

Looks authentic. Enjoy.

Here are 2 clearer images of Prada on the hardware.

I hate these older nylons because they were all so well faked, however there's nothing on this one which arouses my suspicions. I think it's authentic.

Missfiggy thank you so much for your help and expert opinion. It is greatly appreciated.
When I first started collecting Prada, I made the mistake of going to eBay; I have since bought a total of 6 Genuine Vela crossbody bags (nylon lol ) from Saks & Neiman Marcus. I was fortunate enough to get them all on sale.
Never again will I purchase Prada bags, especially nylon from eBay; especially since I can get high-end designer bags on sale from reputable sellers that I listed.

I totally refuse to become a member of facebook, or to use it in any way, so I can't access the link. Some of your photos are not enlarging so I can't see pertinent details. I am EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS of anything sold on f/b because, so far as selling goods is concerned, I've seen that it is a haven, and a heaven, for liars, scammers and thieves.

 

[missfiggy]

Thank you so much missfiggy. Now I'm really sad and worried... Do you need more photos to look into? Would you suggest I get it authenticated by other authenticator sites (e.g. Authenticate4U) for evidence in case I am to return the item? Thank you.

I haven't yet heard back from PP (I think she's on vacation). I'm pretty sure the bag is authentic though, as I said previously, one small detail bothers me. It's not necessarily a crucial detail because I've seen it before on other authentic bags.

NOTE: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.

Please follow these rules:

1. Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).

2. Help our authenticators by using the following format:

Item Name:
Listing number:
Seller ID:
Link:
Comments:

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format or for any reason they choose.

3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we. Please provide photos taken with an actual camera. Cell phone pictures rarely provide good details.

Pics needed:

- Front view of bag
- Zipper & its end
- Hardware
- Base of the handles
- Both sides of all cards
- Large clear interior photos especially of the linings - one with flash and one without
- Closeups of any luggage labels - both sides
- Closeups of main logos
- Closeups of interior labels/logos

4. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

5. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.

6. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function to alert the Mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

I saw this on Fashionphile the other. Very nice and authentic. You'll love it. I've had at least 6 of this style.

Thank you
