Authenticate This PRADA

Seller says they have paid for an authentication. Ask to see it. I'd be interested to know who authenticated it, as I'm not convinced it's authentic. There are a couple of oddities in the photos.


Thank you for your reply. I messaged the seller and they said that they had it authenticated by a company called ******************. They were happy to send over the email from the company to confirm this so I sent my address and am awaiting the reply.

Ridiculously fishy looking to me also.

The name of the company being auto-edited to asterisks speaks volumes. Type the company name, but put a space between each letter so we can see who it is.

The seller forwarded me the email from them confirming authenticity but it was done using only photos and I’d rather it was done in person.

I emailed the seller back saying that I’d submitted the bag here and that it had raised questions so she has removed the listing until it can be authenticated in person.

Thanks so much for your advice on this! It would have been my first Prada purchase Xx

Glad you posted that company name. I had a hunch it was them. They have a miserable track record for authentications.

Hi there! I'm new to the forum so I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Anyway, I bought a prada bag from a resale store for $5 a few weeks ago. And I'm wondering if it's authentic or not. If you need more pictures please let me know.

Hmmm...you'll notice that the authentication company's name is all ****. That's because it is a u t h e n t i c a t e f i r s t and they are NOTORIOUS for getting these wrong. There's lots about them on this site. Their name is *** because they made threats to take some sort of legal action if we bad mouthed them here. So we can't print their name. I stand by my suspicions.
