Hi guys, could you please authenticate this for me? It was purchased from the High End fb group. Seller advised it was cited as authentic in the Sydney store but provided no paperwork. I took it to Prada in Melbourne and they said they couldn't tell as it's an older style...I don't know what it's called as I'm not that familiar with the range, I just love this bag. It came with its dustbag

Purse party? There's the dead give away. It's a total fake.
Update: So I asked for a refund. As expected she was insisting it is authentic. It is preloved, reconditioned. And that preloved and reconditioned purses CAN NOT be authenticated because they replace parts. And when I asked about the authenticity card that came with the bag, she said it's not authentic and may have been from another bag because original owners sometimes lose the card! And so her supplier replaced it with a random one just so they can sell it as a complete set. Hahaha! Anyway, to make the long story short she agreed to a full refund. But then tried to sell me stuff again. OMG. Thanks PRADA PSYCHO!

Prada stores do NOT authenticate. Never, ever. Period. If they do, they could be fired. The only time Prada authenticates bags is when the item goes to Prada in Milan, usually for repairs. That said, the photos aren't adequate to make a call on this one. There are a couple of things that don't pass the "Would *I* buy this?" test however. Not worth the risk.
 
Yes I didn't realize that they didn't authenticate, but the sales guy said he'd have a quick look. I managed to track down the original seller and she said she bought it a few years ago from Milan and gave me the following details: BN2369, Vitello Daino, Pomice. I am happy to add more photos, would you mind letting me know what you'd need so I can upload them?

Dear Prada Authenticators, please could you give me your opinions on this bag.

Thank-you in advance for your time.

Kindest Regards, Nat.

(Thank-you Prada Psycho, for your advice on a different bag (the seller only had 2 feedback).
I also like this bag; I like blue or grey bags. However, as this one is new & unused, it makes be extra anxious. So I would really appreciate your advice.
I know the safest way to buy a genuine Prada bag is from a Prada boutique, however, my self-esteem is too low to go into the stores. I would feel intimidated. I have looked on the Prada website, and haven't found any styles that I love. I guess if I saw one on their website that I really liked, I would dare go into a Prada boutique as I would be 99.9% sure I would buy it (so in a weird way, I wouldn't feel too intimidated to walk into their store!!!)
 
Hello,
Could you please advise me for a paid Prada authentication service? It's about a vintage Prada wallet.
I paid to authenticate4u, sent them the requested pictures, and since then, whole week already, I can't get in touch in any way, not answering phone, mails, FB messages, nothing. Didn't even say if they just need more time or anything...
So, do know some other reliable service I could use?
Thank you very much.

does it make sense they woukd put the triangle logo on the back like that? Also, she mentioned that the cross body strap is lossed and that one of the rivets in the traingle emblem is missing. Its used with signs of wear, but I dont mind the kevel of wear currently shown.

Thank you so much for any help. :) Screenshot_20170504-110535.png Screenshot_20170504-110544.jpg Screenshot_20170504-110517.jpg Screenshot_20170504-110535.png
