Not nearly enough photos for authentication, however, no red flags from photos provided. Any fakes of this style were usually so rankly amateur, that they stuck out like the proverbial.

Once again, not really enough photos for authentication, however I'm calling authentic on this one. Also once again, the fakes of these were usually so appallingly bad that they were easily identifiable from photos.

I do not have any information on this purse as we got this for free in a bulk lot from the lady who was yard selling, I'm sorry. I did some research and it says that a lot of the Prada items now are made in China. Especially with this made-in-china tag. But could it just be the lack of quality that makes this unbranded or is it just fake? There are no interior tags other than the made in China one that is in the main part of the handbag. Feels like real leather being that I am an upholster and I deal with it. But the leather swatch doesnt look right.

If it is fake does that mean its worth absolutely nothing or is there practical value to this?

Photos are very inadequate and aren't showing one detail I always want to see in these Fairy Bags. I can't give a thumbs up or down for that reason.

To answer the bolded -- perhaps as a fire-starter BUT check local regs on toxic waste first!
