Authenticate This PRADA

[MarkWoo]

Looks OK to me, but nylon Prada is faked really well. Nothing screams out to me on this one, though. You got lucky. I'd still wait for @missfiggy to pop in on this one.

Thank you, Prada Psycho. I would also wait for missfiggy’s opinion. After couple pre-owned bags’ hunts, I found that I prefer brand new bag( the condition and the scents of new bag) I think I would purchase items I like directly from Prada in the future. No more risk taking.

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.

Thanks dear. Is there a way to ask for Bratty1919 ‘s help? Also any advice on explaining the powder coated non branded zipper to someone? I have had a good few totes & vela over the years with them & usually always are either the blank powder coated, OPTI, or Lampo. Sadly there’s not a lot online about it until you really dig & most don’t take the time to educate themselves & assume the worst. is that technically YKK or Prada’s own? Another misconception I’m hoping to clear up with another opinion, is that these entry level basic vela bags, usually the ones with plain or no lining, often seam not “perfect” like the side strap attaching stitches & they aren’t at same quality standards of say LV or even higher level Prada bags, & where that’s Not an auto red flagThat they don’t take the same care with the basic vela bags I noticed anyway as they do with their More expensive lines w signiture logo embroidered lining & leather trims/metal zippers ect. But when bags aren’t easy to authenticate by a simple zipper brand & white tag & done because Prada’s standards are all over the place it makes it hard when buying lol. Is there any online authenticator service that you’d recommend with these bags when in question that perhaps is good with vintage nylon Prada? Seams like you guys are probably the best since your dealing with it daily honestly & an extra eye does help! Thanks agian for your kind help You guys do a great service to keep fakes off line !

That's what I recommend, especially with these nylon items. Spend more, get peace of mind. Seems a no-brainer to me.
