More of the lining please. Both with and without flash - get very good natural light if possible.

Also can you confirm that the authentication agency was A u t h e n t i cateF i r s t. Just a yes or no will do.

Yes.

I just attached more pictures of the lining.

Also, the seller claims he bought it at a Prada Outlet, don’t know if that helps...

Thanks!

I'm not seeing any red flags myself. Considering A.F.'s miserable track record "authenticating" Prada, I never take anything that say seriously.

Did you look inside the inner pocket seams for the Made in Italy tag? They're really hard to find. You have to run your finger across every seam inside the bag to find them.

Hello,

Yes, I looked very carefully and there is no “made in” tag anywhere in the bag.. could this be a red flag?

Thanks.

Sorry for splitting my post in 3, but smth went wrong and I couldn’t put them in one. Hope that the pictures more or less ok. The seller couldn’t provide better quality

The pictures aren't good, but I'm certainly leaning towards this being authentic. The authentication agency you used has a VERY POOR REPUTATION for getting Prada correct. We've seen many of their errors here.

Looks authentic to me.

Ok, thanks!
Is it true that not all Prada bags have the “made in” tag or could this be a reason to believe it is not authentic?

Thank you very much!

There are so many subtle differences between different Prada items. Some have tags, some don't; some have a notched "R", some don't; bags in the same style can change seasonally; zips change; badging changes; trims change; etc etc etc. It takes literally YEARS of studying, buying, trolling counterfeiters sites, and eye straining to determine microscopic details, in order to be able to authenticate these items. If there is no "made in" tag it doesn't mean the bag is fake.

Did the authentication agency give you a letter of non authenticity? If they did, are you able to pm me and tell me what reasons they gave for saying it was fake. Thanks.
