Authenticate This PRADA

[Monogasm]

Personal shopper just came back to me with more images and said she could send a sales receipt from Prada. Starting to wonder if maybe this one looks good?

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.

No, I've not seem one worn out quite that badly, especially the bottom. No idea what the heck happened to bottom. If you're not wreckless with your bags, you may like the effect. I did find that I could even out more distressed areas with brown shoe polish. The one you're looking at appears like it was barely used (if at all) or may have had some touch ups itself.

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 ).

I have an opinion, but have asked Bratty1919 her thoughts first.

Honestly, I'm just not comfortable with giving an opinion here. It's possible that it's real. This bag did NOT sell well for what should be obvious reasons. It's possible this seller cleaned up on and end of season sale and is reselling them, but it's too hard a call to make.

 

[Prada Psycho]

hello, thanks for the speedy reply.
Heres the pics

I'm thinking this one is OK, but I still need more photos of the lining to be sure.

Thank you. The seller seems to be making out that this bag is still with Prada themselves in a German store and that the additional photos came from them on her request. Does that sound very unlikely seeing as it's old stock?
On Buyma the personal shopper's don't have the bags in stock, they pick them up from the store and only if the store still has them is your card charged.

OMG I feel so stupid. THIS BAG IS STILL AVAILABLE ON THE UK ONLINE PRADA STORE!!!!!!!!!!!

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 Prada Psycho, the seller has relisted the bag replacing two photos in the listing that she had e-mailed to me and I posted but you couldn't enlarge. You can now see the photos by mousing over to enlarge photo # 11 and #12. Hope those do the trick. Thanks again.

Looks pretty fake to me. In the future, please use the proper format when requesting authentications.

Thank You so much for your help Prada Psycho! I almost buy it, if you don't mind would you please help me again to authenticate my other Prada bag (this one is already mine), it's Prada Tessuto Mini Crossbody, but the bag missing short handle and pull zipper. This bag has been authenticated by ****************** before, they say this bag is authentic, but I just want to make sure that this bag is really authentic.

and here's interior label and inside front pocket.
Thank you again...

I'm thinking it's authentic. If you buy it, post your own photos here so I can get a second look.

Looks fine.

Here's an example of why all authentication services aren't created equal. This is fake. Several telling things that shouldn't have gone unnoticed.
