Authenticate This PRADA

[Prada Psycho]

Thanks for your answer.

I was just wondering if it is possible for real Prada to have such crooked letters in its logo. I bought a pre-loved bag (this model but in black color), everything seems fine to me (Of course, I am not an expert and may be terribly wrong...) but I am very concerned about the PRADA logo now - it is just like on the picture at the Queen Bee website. I do not have good pictures of the actual bag right now, I can post them later if you think that a bag with such logo may be real (if not, it is just wasting of time).

Queen Bee has 100 % positive feedback on eBay in the past year and I also found the bag with such logo at other websites (Overstock, Annie's Unique Accessories, etc.) that makes me feel it is possible (would they really post obvious fakes at their website???). However, as said - I am not an expert.

Many thanks for your time, I trully appreciate your help!

We need good photos to answer authenticity questions. Beyond that, we don't give out any information. The only 100% guarantee of getting an authentic Prada bag is to buy one from a Prada boutique. Otherwise, there's always risk involved.

OK, I understand and respect your rules. So, here are the pictures of the actual bag (hope it is enough, if not, let me know):

What your well-trained eyes think, Ladies? Was I lucky enough or just too stupid to waste money for a super fake? Thank you in advance.

Few more pictures...

Comments: I'm torn between two sides.. the price is so low, but the seller insists on authenticity.. thank you

Total fake - "the price is so low" - and what do we always say when a price is too good to be true???? CHEAP FOR A REASON!!!! Needs to be reported to whatever authority runs the site.

I'm waffling on this one. Some things look fine, a couple raised my eyebrows. I'm not familiar enough with this style to give a 100% opinion.

Well, the previous owner allegedly bought this bag at an official Prada outlet, I even have a receipt. She has only positive feedbacks at her profile and the communication with her run very well. The price was good but not "too good to be true". I personally do not have any reason not to trust her. Also, this model is not that famous as i.e. Prada Galleria or some nylon bags and, thus, it is less likely that I purchased a super fake... I just think that Prada quality control sucks If they sell bags like this, I had better opinion about this brand... Times probably changed.

But as you said - you cannot be 100 % sure unless you purchase it at a Prada store by yourself. After this experience, I am pretty sure that I will buy my next Prada (or any other luxury brand) in an official store rather then from a second hand. I do not want to go through this uncertainty / paranoia process ever again, it is exhausting. I will rather pay the full price. I knew that super fakes exist but I had no idea how big problem is it. Now, after spending couple of hours by researching, reading articles, forums, etc., I am slowly getting the whole picture. And it is just scary. I think that in my country it is not such a big deal as at the US market, but still... Scary, very scary.

Anyway, thank you very much for your opinion! It is very nice from you that you share your extended knowledge to help others in your free time.

If you purchase the bag and we determine it to be a counterfeit, then the seller has to refund. It's really up to you. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this seller has a pretty good track record with Prada. However, in this world of Super Fakes, even the most stand up, honest seller can get tricked. If you can get some close up swatches of the lining, I should be able to give you a more definite answer.

Dear authenticators,

I have previously posted this for authentication, and I managed to get some pictures on the lining (I hope they are clear).

I have asked the seller on the returns policy and she replied "I would accept a return if it isn’t authentic, but it is since I bought it myself from Prada."

Can someone kindly help me to authenticate this (again) at their earliest convenience please?

Thank you in advance : )

Hi I bought this from an aquaintance hence no listing. I hope you can let me know if it is indeed authentic as what she told me.
