Is this how we make a post in the thread for authentication? By hitting reply like this on the first one that has the format instructions? I’ve never successfully figured out how to make a clean new post in the existing thread only know how to reply to one someone else has started here. Any help please? I’ll add my authenticate this Prada request next and hope I did it right if I didn’t please help me with how to post instructions rather than just format questions, it’s an item I have in my possession not in a site is why. Ty for the help :)
 
I purchased this vintage Prada sport mini hobo & it just arrived but it’s missing the white #tag- is that a big deal? Im usually good at authenticating vintage nylon Prada like this & I have a couple it seams to match, I’ve heard sometimes some
Of the basic vela bags just get missed & don’t get a #tag is that true? Thank you for authenticating so I know it’s good to go :)

Yes, this is the way to start a new post. Well done.

So what you have is one of the most counterfeited of all Prada styles. It is just about impossible to authenticate these just from photos, and even handling them it is sometimes impossible to tell the difference between authentic and fake. FWIW, the white tag doesn't really mean much for authentication purposes so its absence is not critical. Looking at the bag in your good close up photos, I think it might be authentic, but maybe wait on Bratty1919's response. She's our go to girl for vintage items.
 
Hi everyone! Please help me authenticate this item. Thank you!

Item Name: Prada Bifold Small Wallet Multicolor

Comments: I'm not sure what you need to authenticate a wallet, but this seller is kind of slow to respond. I will ask for more photos, but a general opinion at this point would be much appreciated.
Can't tell much from those three sad pictures. That said, I wouldn't touch something like this on Poshmark. No one polices their listings and the fakes run rampant.

Read the listing and the comments/questions. Seller is asked THREE TIMES, specifically, whether the wallet is authentic. No reply. Asked once if it is still available and they reply with a yes (tes actually, but discernible as a yes). And no further comments from the seller re authenticity. DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!!

Comment: Hi ladies, I just bought this bag from Carousell. It was very good deal. Seller claim she bought from The boutique in Macau. I just got the bag. I thought this style they had magnetic closure underneath the belt strap. But this one does not have any. So I wonder this bag is ok or not. Please authenticate this backpack. I will post more lining in next post. Thank you so much.
