Hello - I am new to the Prada forum, and I would like to request authentication of a bag I recently purchased. The details are below. If the bag is authentic, do you happen to know the approximate year this particular bag was produced? I’m trying to figure how old it might be, but I have not been able to find any info. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Item: BT0172 Vela Sport Messenger Bag
Seller: fashionphile
Item#: 258431

Post your own photos, and be sure to include the authenticity card.
 
Hello can anyone help authenticate this? Thank you so much!

Item Name: Authentic PRADA Nylon Backpack Bag Black Silver Hardware A7762
Listing number: 183351986856
Seller ID: camelliaorganizationbrand7

I don't have my own photos yet, I am debating on if it is if even worth purchasing it only to find out it isn't authentic. I noticed the R on the two logos aren't the exact same and the seller said he has seen that on many authentic Prada pieces, is that true?

Hi all,
This is my first post and I just wanted to be sure I am allowed to ask for authentication. I received several items through a church sale (free / ridiculously low prices), and realized after the fact that many pieces are designer(?). One such item is a bag that says Prada but it doesn't seem to look like any typical Prada bag I've seen. Regardless, it's a cute and practical bag that I can use day-to-day.

Would I be able to seek authentication just based on photos, without serial numbers, cards, etc.?

Thank You!

Yes. Prada doesn't normally even use serial numbers unless it's a limited edition item. Read page one/post one of this this thread for info on how to request authentication.

Fantastic, and thank you so much!
Also, please be gentle with me, it's my first foray into the world of luxury - IF this turns out to be authentic ;)
Remember, the bag is from a church sale.
Thank you again, and more pics in the next reply.
Part I
