I took the bag into the Prada store in Melbourne and was told by a sales associate that the bag was fake,she only looked at the authenticity card and said the bar code was not Prada’s

That SA wouldn't know poop from clay. The cards pictured look authentic to me. They are well over 30 years old, so possibly made before that SA was born. I'd prefer you to wait for Bratty1919's opinion on the bag, as she is our vintage expert.

Hope you all had a fab Valentine’s Day!
Can I bump this one please [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

I think it's probably authentic.

There are vintage Prada authenticity cards that look like that. Doesn't mean it's fake. Our resident vintage authenticator @Bratty1919 can better answer that. Also, in the future, NEVER EVER take items to a Prada Boutique for authentications. Their job is to sell you a new bag, not authenticate. Plus 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of Prada sales associates wouldn't know a fake from their feet! It's not their job, they've not been trained. Authentication is a highly specialized activity that requires a library full of knowledge of decades and seasons within those decades. The most minute detail can make or break the authenticity of a Prada bag.

Edit note: Well, I didn't scroll up and read the posts from @Bratty1919 and @missfiggy before I posted the comments above. Seems I'm repeating what they already said! Great minds! We make a pretty good team, aye Ladies!

Edit note #2: Since I'm not 100% confident authenticating vintage bags, I rarely comment on them, but I was pretty sure it was authentic also. I wanted @Bratty1919 to make the call though.

Thank you so much for your help.I usually don’t take my vintage bags into the stores but I was already going there...I had a really good experience with Chanel SAs ...
I already had the bag back in it’s box and ready to ship back to the seller.I can keep it now I guess,it is in a beautiful condition and was only about $160
