Hello,
I would like to get this Prada tote authenticated. I purchased it a few years ago from a shop from Japan on Ebay. I have always thought it was authentic, but I am having second thoughts. The extra hardware on the right side of the bag (behind the tag) is very odd to me.

Hello everyone,

I have already posted this for authentication but managed to get some pictures on the lining (just to make sure).
Can someone kindly help me to authenticate this (again) at the earliest convenience please?

Thank you in advance!
Photos are still lacking, but I'm thinking this is OK. I wouldn't buy it without a return option. If you get it, then we can look at your own photos.

Well in the posting it says "I guarantee this bag to be 100% authentic or your money back" and at the bottom "no returns, final sale". Honestly I feel kinda wary about getting this from the ebay seller (I dunno some gut feeling), so I'm still thinking?

I really wanted this bag in Baltico. The thing is I did not know it was a limited edition and I was holding in the store admiring it (back in 2016) and I'm smacking myself in the head for not getting it then! :doh:

I noticed that in 2013 the lux tote was released in Baltico GHW and 2016 Baltico SHW. I can only hope this year there will be another Baltico lux tote release *cross fingers*.

And thank you Prada Psycho for replying!
 
Hi ladies,

I’m hoping I’m in the right threat to ask this, I unfortunately made the mistake to pm the authenticators - I truly apologize for that.

I was wondering what the best way is to learn more about authenticating Prada? I know it’s not being discussed what makes a bag authentic (for good reason), and most resources online are either outdated or false. I’ve been trying to learn more about Chanel authentication and I’m improving, but Prada seems to be giving me a hard time. I’d love to hear how you all got into it, and learned more especially the older Prada styles.

I think I can spot the more obvious fakes, but some things still give me trouble. I reposted a bag I purchased last year a couple days ago, and hope I didn’t offend anyone in doing that (or was being unintentionally rude/missed something). I’m not looking to sell the bag, just peace of mind. But I’d also love to learn more in general about the process (please let me know if this is the wrong thread).

Sorry for taking up your time ladies. I just want to be as thorough as possible, and I know that all your work is done purely to help others. So many thanks to you all.
