Hi! Apologies in advance if I’m not posting this correctly - this is very new to me! If someone could authenticate this for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Item Name: Prada monochrome handbag
Listing number: item 1171245
Seller ID: Costco
Link: https://www.costco.ca/Prada-Monochrome-Handbag,-Black.product.100407539.html
Comments: ordered this from the Costco online store and then did some reading about some grey market channels resulting in fakes.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

NOTE: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.

Please follow these rules:

1. Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).

2. Help our authenticators by using the following format:

Item Name:
Listing number:
Seller ID:
Link:
Comments:

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format or for any reason they choose.

3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we. Please provide photos taken with an actual camera. Cell phone pictures rarely provide good details.

Pics needed:

- Front view of bag
- Zipper & its end
- Hardware
- Base of the handles
- Both sides of all cards
- Large clear interior photos especially of the linings - one with flash and one without
- Closeups of any luggage labels - both sides
- Closeups of main logos
- Closeups of interior labels/logos

4. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

5. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.

6. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function to alert the Mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

Hi authenticators!
I bought this on fashionphile. It's my first Prada so I am hoping you can tell me if it is authentic. Thank you for your time!

I don't see any red flags, but for future reference, Fashionphile has less than a stellar record where their Prada authentications are concerned. @missfiggy and I both have contacted them about fakes we've spotted. Not meaning to bad mouth Fashionphile, just urging anyone looking at their Prada items to get a second opinion on authenticity. They mostly sell authentic and the fakes that have slipped through were not intentionally meant to deceive buyers, but still "Let the buyer beware."

Totally unfamiliar with this style but fwiw, I'm not seeing anything alarming.

Hello everyone,
I've just bought this vintage bag from a german ebay seller. Hope it's authentic. To me it looks like it is, seems very well made, stitchings and everything. But I am no expert, so I would kindly ask you to help me out here.

Not liking what I'm seeing in a couple of details, but let's wait for @Bratty1919 and @missfiggy to chime in. Seems I've seen this bag on this thread several times, actually.

Well, thank you for your time.

Sorry, if I came of rude, english isn't my first language.
I'd just hoped for some clarification (not why it doesn't look right, I know you can't say that in this thread). More if this is an it's 100% fake case, or just something you can't exactly determine, like there are some cases in this thread where you couldn't just say if a bag was fake or not.

Guess I have my answer now - will absolutely not burning it though. :)
So thanks again.
