Authenticate This PRADA

[daisygrl]

Could you, please, help me authenticate this Prada clutch. All I know is that it is from 2008. Your help is much appreciated!

Agonizing over this bag to be 'my 1st Prada' on Poshmark:
"Authentic White Prada handbag"
(Not sure of finding listing # on this site?)
Seller: laurazeer

Have asked for underside of zipper pull & backside of auth card, but seller travels and added some pics for me, but not exactly what I asked for. I can't find another one exactly like it to compare (saw close one that was nylon & leather). I think it's a Vitella daino hobo (size?) Bianco. Seller assures me it's authentic, but shield looks less detailed & lacks cards & pics to make it a no-brainer for a new study. The dust bag "R" is in question for me... honestly the whole "R" thing has me confused as there's a bit of variation. The "A" seems a bit crooked, but I've seen reviews that have "real" bags with odd spacing & A's a bit crooked. Help? Thnx!

Need more photos of the lining and close up of the outside triangle tag and inside rectangle metal tag.

Hi Prada Psycho. Attached are the pics I received from the seller. Hope these work. Thanks again.

Never, ever, EVER waste your time with those ridiculous "how to authenticate" videos and blogs online. Those people know nothing about authenticating.

That rant aside, this bag is quite authentic, and it has nothing to do with anything you've pointed out.

I can't enlarge them. I've got to be able to see microscopic details.

Pull out the lining and post some good quality, close up photos of it.

OK, that's what I needed. I was fairly certain it was authentic, but I needed to see this to be 100%. Enjoy!

Not in proper format. Provenance of these bags can be the decision maker.

@Prada Psycho - THANK YOU!! You are WONDERFUL to help the inexperienced who struggle. Tried to inform myself best I could do to navigate around fake bags on the resale market b/c it's just not in my budget to buy new. MANY thanks!
This bag speaks to me, but I didn't want to waste $ on a fake or support that crooked industry.
Would you recommend me going to an authentication service to get a certificate to put with this bag or is that overkill?

First time Yoogis Closer buyer and I just purchased this from their site. A bit nervous since it doesn't come with an authenticity card or dustbag. I'd appreciate any help you could provide in authenticating this item. Thank you!

Thanks Prada Psycho. I have revised my post below and attached the photos. I purchased it from Century 21 in NYC. I feel designed items found there could be hit or miss. Would really appreciate any help authenticating it. Thanks.
