They won't enlarge for some reason. I just can't see what I need with these photos. If these are your photos, try taking them again and reposting.

Hi, I requested better pictures from the seller but she states "don't have the micro lens to take very close pics, so I already did my best to take those pics with my iPhone." I will pass on this one unless it doesn't sell and she re-lists and posts better pictures. It's very frustrating when sellers want to sell high-end items and don't accommodate potential buyers, even when their listing states "You can ask more detail pics through email." Thank you for all you help Prada Psycho, it is much appreciated.

I'm really reluctant to recommend keeping this bag. There's nothing glaring about it, but these bags are in the Super Fake category and are very well counterfeited. I seem to recall Century 21 having sold some questionable bags in the past, but I'm not 100% certain. I prefer to err on the side of caution, so I'd suggest returning this and shopping at Prada for this style in particular.

Thank you so much for your opinions Prada Psycho!

THANK YOU! You've saved me a nightmare. How do sellers get such perfect feedback (in the many thousands) selling counterfeit goods? Are that many buyers naive?! Shame! :sad:

Because buyers are naive, think it's real and leave glowing feedback. I've seen fakes that are made better than real Pradas, so who would question it? The majority of buyers are clueless about the counterfeit market....sadly.

Semitracolla Vit.Dano B Pervinca
(In my possession)

Realized I missed the focus on the outer tag. Adding an underside of zipper also (hit my download limit last time)

Not sure about this one. This style has been faked by the truckload and very convincingly. I would never buy this style for myself for that very reason. Post some additional photos of the lining, very closeup and with no flash, just natural room light.

Hello,

I'm looking to buy my first Prada and am interested in this bag. Can you give me your opinion on the authenticity of this bag?

Item Name: Cacao Cervo Antik Brown Satchel
Listing number: 21364511
Seller ID: AbbeyR

The bag in the photos is authentic. I always loved the Antik collection, but beware: the finish is quite fragile and wears off easily. If you don't mind the "distressed" look, you'll love it.

Gosh! I wasn't aware of that. I generally like a distressed look but the kind that looks classy, not the kind that looks sad, if you know what I mean....

I found an Antik bag on eBay whose base looks pretty scary. Can you tell me if this is typical of the wear that you are speaking about? Not sure if this is typical or the previous owner just used the bag to death.. I'm pretty good about keeping my bags in good shape.

More pics taken about 10' from indirect lit window (had to crop them considerably to get file small enough to load)
*crossing fingers as I already refurbed it last night (won't return it, just loss of time ).

Apologies just reread the "very closeup" part. Tried some different locations.

SORRY! Yet another, so keen to find this style. Would be so much simpler to go to Prada. I need a time machine!

Item Name: PRADA VIP SALE 2 inside bag / 1BB011
Listing number: -
Seller ID: MiranMiran
Link: https://www.buyma.us/gb/items/db4528c9-1eb9-4a31-aa95-82506a3e8ab3/
Comments: Apparently this is from the sale at Prada. Seller is German, Have requested more pics of the interior and got the answer "I have just requested Prada to send me some more pictures of logo and inside but they will be closing within 30min so am not sure if they can make it by then. It's made in italy. As soon as I get, I will send it to you! Best regards"

Does this look legit or is it a bit of a "flash sale" vibe? Kindest thanks!
