Hi i am new to designer bags, bought this prada gaufre at preloved market, prior to purchase I had it authenticated by Real authenticator and was deemed authentic hence the purchase. However when i received the bag i noticed excess paints on PRADA, i am uncertain if seller had sent it to bag spa centers, since i can see some excess black leather paints which tries to cover the scuffings, i am its 3rd owner, and the seller whom i purchased it with is unsure of its history, just the fact that it claims its also legit. Can you help me authenticate it? Thank you

Hi! I’ve been searching for the Astrology Cahier in black velvet for ages. I purchased the last one from Saks Fifth Ave on their website. I noticed after I placed the order it has a chain strap instead of a leather one. I know from vloggers who have reviewed it that the chain strap seems to have only been sold in Europe, but I am in the US and ordered from the US website of Saks. Could I have ordered a knockoff?
Here are some more close up pics of the lining and one with flash (last pic). Also, found the “ made on Italy” tag, don’t know how I missed it before

Here are some more pictures. The picture of the authentication card in the previous post is all I have at the moment since I don’t physically have it.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Item Name: Prada Cahier Astrology in Velvet Nero
Listing number: ??
Seller ID: Saks Fifth Ave

Comments: So this is less an authentication request and more like a general inquiry—this is a version of the bag I’ve only seen in Europe. Do stores like Saks ever get European versions of bags? The strap in the US is fully leather normally.

I’m hoping you ladies can help with authenticating this bag I just purchased from Fashionphile. It wasn’t an auction so I don’t have item number info etc. I can still return it if there are issues as long as the tags remain on the bag. I figured I would keep them on until I could send pics and have authenticated? Thank you for any help you can provide and appreciate all you do for us here! I have the bag in my possession so can take any additional pics that you need. Thanks again!
