That particular bag was counterfeited by the millions around 2004 or so. I still see "new" fakes of it. That army green is one of them. Better to get a refund than guess.

Dammit! I hate liars!!!
I have to say I finally got it in my hands today in the mail and the quality is very superb. Even the lining is of a very sturdy fabric that I didnt imagine just from photos and the bag itself is alot heavier than I thought it would be. I took a look at the triangle plaque from behind since one of the rivets did fall off, and even from behind of the plaque there is evidence of superior quality. (You mentioned not spelling out details about identifying info, so i wont )
I asked the seller how can she be sure of its authenticity and she said that her mom bought it herself from the store many years ago as her mom only own designer bags and even she has tried asking her mom for her bags but she wouldn't give them to her, haha. Based on my conversations with her and now having this in my hand, my gut feeling is strongly telling me to believe her. However, the fact they have been so disturbingly copied...ugh. I just want to own an authentic piece and dont mind it being second hand you know what I mean? ...smh...
Thanks for being so educational and for the time you've invested here. Keep up the good works all of you. <3

Hello [emoji3] my husband bought me a Prada Double Bag from Off 5th last night and I wanted to make sure that it is legit. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

1. Prada Double Bag
2. Bought from Off 5th
3. Off 5th
4. In person purchase.
5. My husband purchased this from Off 5th. The bag smells amazing, and does not have any huge quality issues, however being that it is from an outlet store I wanted to get a second opinion.

One thing that does scare me is that they gave the wrong authenticity card...but those are in the bags and someone could have switched them by mistake on the floor. Not sure if it's that big of it a deal but chime in please!

The photos are attached.
