Authenticate This PRADA

[bloodyxcape]

This bag was given to a family member, it does have some wear and tear but I’m trying to find out if it’s real. It looks like the Prada Cuir tote but I am unsure. I cannot find pics of this bag with this type of leather online. It did come with the card of authenticity shown below. It has no zippers and is not crossbody.

Hello,
Please could you have a look at this bag! I am not sure that this is authentic or not. Thank you for your time

Hi! Received this in 2003 as a hand me down. Always wondered about the authenticity.

.

Please advise. Thank you!

I think it's fake. See what Bratty says.

Very poor fake.

Hi Authenticators I put this bag up a couple of times but did not receive a reply. I would really appreciate it if you could authenticate it for me please, it is my bag I bought a while ago, and these are my pictures, so no ebay. Thank you very much for your help.

Here is a better picture of the front as the other is upside down

Just FYI from the first page with the rules for authentications-

“Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format or for any reason they choose. “

The ladies that are here doing authentications do it on their own time and when they are able. If they haven’t responded to your request, it may be because what you are asking is not something that can not be easily and quickly authenticated with what you are providing. It could maybe be something that would take more time then they are able to give especially during the holiday season when everyone is busy.

This is just from my own personal observation from what I have seen here over the years, if you have posted multiple times over and over, it can be viewed as pushy which may also be a reason why your request is being ignored. Not saying that is why...that is just my assumption on a possible reason why.

If you need an authentication and they have not responded, I would look at previous threads at some paid authentication services that you can use as well that have been recommended as reputable.

Don’t know if this helps?

Thank you ElectricGypsy, that is why I am polite and hopefully not rude. I just wanted conformation that my item is genuine. I have always used TPF to help me with authenticating, and have done for over 10 years.

YW! I’ve seen you post this bag a few times, which in itself is sometimes considered rude and why I wanted to let you know since you may not have realized it may come across that way.

If the kind authenticaters on here are not able to help, or do not want to authenticate for me, than they should let me know.

That’s why I quoted the first page with the rules and thought I would explain to maybe help out. They aren’t obligated to have to answer any post.

I would say if you have posted multiple times with no response to maybe go ahead and seek out a paid authentication service to help with answering your questions on authenticity.

 

[heffalump221]

Thank you, I might do that if I don't get a response. I was just very worried and quite anxious about it as you can see.

Thank you for you time in any case! I already bought it and didn’t pay yet. So I think , I have to wait till it comes to take more detailed photos...
