Hello, I’m ridiculously new, I have been reading tons on purse forum for awhile and realized I should just join. I’m looking at finally purchasing my first Prada though, I even found one that met my wants for the moment, but I’m unsure of authenticity... there are no engravings on the magnetic closure, does this happen? I hear horror stories so often, but you all seem to be quite good at this. If you might be able to help, here’s the link, thank you. https://www.tradesy.com/i/prada-shopper-grey-leather-tote/24951339/

This says no longer available. If you purchased it, please post your own photos.
 
I am sorry about that, the Seller adjusted price and made a new listing apparently. I have not purchased it because quite honestly after reading through so much of this I find myself nervous of being foolish and buying a knockoff. The main red flag for me was there are no engravings on the magnetic closure, I didn't know if sometimes that happens with Prada, or if that means its always a knockoff? Thank you for any information, here is the item relisted https://www.tradesy.com/i/prada-shopper-grey-leather-tote/24182699/
 
Also, the seller sent me these photos when I requested photos of the hardware.

That's irrelevant.
 
I'm thinking this one is OK, but wait for MissFiggy and Bratty1919 to pop in. There are a couple of things I'm seeing that raise an eyebrow, but it could just be the photos.
I agree..., it might be authentic, but there are some oddities. I'd like flat clear closeups of the lining. Ask for the lining to be pulled out and photos done with a flash and with natural light.
