Good evening , Thank you so much for the clarification . This is the picture of the lining of the bag . Hope it is clear . Would like to hear more opinion from you . Thanks again !
Thank you so much ! Arranging to return the bag to the seller ☺️ Thanks !!I'm seeing fake all over this one.
Hi all!
I'm taking on a challenge and see if I could differentiate fake and real pradas...could you tell me if the following listings are real?
Item: Prada portable purse saffiano metal
https://www.ebay.com/itm/122414501083
Item: Prada Zip Round wallet Saffiano
https://www.ebay.com/itm/272672473708
They both seem real to me because they came with receipts and packaging (ofcourse that can be faked). Also when I take a closer look, their stitching is "angled"...not sure if these are some of the things I should look for...what do you think?
Thanks in advance!

1. We don't give out any hints, and request that you also don't mention any specifics.
2. Neither listing has enough close up photos to make any even half accurate assessment.
3. Fake wallets look identical to authentic in most photos. It's only when the fake is one of the older, very amateur, fakes that we can tell from photos.
4. Please...it has taken each of us many, many years of buying and selling, studying, browsing, snooping and spying, to get the accumulated knowledge which we have. This is in conjunction with libraries containing thousands of photos of just about every Prada we have ever come across. And thousands of photos of counterfeits. You can't learn authentication from a few ebay listings.
5.I've been here for 7 years and PP has been here for 9 years, and we are still learning, and desperately trying to stay one step ahead of the crooks. In fact it was PP and I who first recognised the newest superfakes, before any of the other online authentication agencies. Some of those agencies are still authenticating superfakes as authentic.
Perhaps it's time for you to have a look around this site and take part in some of the other topics of discussion. You've had a good share of freebies for now. We prefer to authenticate for those who are going to contribute to the site in other areas.
Absolutely! I highly appreciate your honesty and professionalism. I'm more than happy to contribute the site in other areas. If there's anyway I could help, I'm more than happy to do that. Thanks a lot Miss Figgy for taking in the initiative and staying one step ahead of crooks! I'm sure many in the forum appreciate all you do. 
Ditto, except that PP has been here ELEVEN YEARS next month! Oy!
oh crap...maths!!!! You've been here 11 years and I've been here 9. I must be in denial about the all too rapidly passing years!!!
Authenticators, may I please ask for your help?
I purchased a Prada Saffiano Cuir Double Bag in caramel from Trendlee. Its my first time buying from Trendlee and only did so because they claim to sell only authentic bags. It's my first Prada bag but I own other Prada wallets. Trendlee provided me with a piece of paper from ****************** stating that it is authentic. The bag is in excellent condition and seems legit for the most part. However, I did have a red flag moment. This bag is a couple years so perhaps there are differences due to wear. Could you help confirm/check? Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Original listing: https://www.trendlee.com/products/handbags-prada-cuir-double-tote-saffiano-leather-medium1560588
Additional photos attached. I had trouble getting photos of the white tags in the center pocket, there are two - one labeled '10' and the other '113'. The Trendlee listing has photos.

Other side of the card please, also any other cards that came with it. Other side and inside of the luggage label. Proper closeup full frontal of all metal logos, your photos are slightly fuzzy and the lighting is not good enough. Photos of the inside of the bag, photos of the gold embossed logo inside the interior purse. The little white tags have less than f***all to do with authenticity - forget them.
***************** are NOTORIOUS for authenticating superfakes as authentic, and I suspect this is another of their "clangers".
