Hello, I got a black/red double bag from vestiairecollective.
It is a beautiful bag and my first prada. But I am a bit concerned, because of two things:
1. The Prada logo (the first letter "P" is a bit under the "RADA"
2. The luggage tag - the Prada logo is "frayed"

Please help me if it is an authentic Prada bag. And tell me if you need further pictures.

Missfiggy, what do you think of the one I posted? Did the pictures help Prada Psycho?

I don't think it's authentic - I think it's a very good fake. Too many little niggling things about it bother me. I've already pinged several of these on ebay, so the fakes are fairly prevalent. If it turns out to be authentic I'll happily eat my words (as long as there is a good NZ SBS to wash them down with!).

Prada Psycho, many thanks for your response. I am disappointed, that I bought a fake from vestiaire, as they claim to authenticate the bags. Is there any chance, that you tell me why it is fake (if not because of the logo?)

Sorry - we don't give out any hints on this site as is is widely used by counterfeiters to "improve" their wares. Best bet would be to have the bag authenticated by one of the reputable online authentication agencies. For a fee, they will provide you with a statement/letter detailing everything which is inconsistent. Or you could ask Prada to authenticate it, bearing in mind that, if the bag is found to be fake you won't get it back. It will be kept by Prada and destroyed.

Hello missfiggy, thanks for your response. I already feared that this would be the reason you can´t tell me more.

I'm going to agree with MissFiggy on this one. There are just too many things about this bag that are off. It does appear to be a painstakingly well done fake.
