Dear authenticators,

I recently purchased a Prada backpack on Farfetch and it just arrived today. I know I can trust Farfetch but I’m a little suspicious cause the zippers are unbranded... not sure if this is normal. Could I please get an authentication on this? Thank you so much!

item name: Prada montagna backpack
Seller: Farfetch

Nothing's screaming out as fake to me. I think it's fine.

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.

While I appreciate you not specifically calling me out; I know that I violated these rules in my "wallet" post on the previous page. However, as I do not know the name of this item and it was actually thrifted, I cannot meet the intro requirements. Is this still acceptable given circumstance?

I do understand the reasoning for these requirements though and intend to respect them from here out.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to make any assessment of these small leather items, just from photos. They are usually so well faked that it is only with real life handling that their lack of authenticity becomes evident.
Having said that, I see no red flags in the photos you have posted, so it MIGHT be authentic.

Hi Authenticators, can you please take a look at this bag for me? I've bought the bag so please see below for photos.
Item Name: Prada bag nylon × leather used (2185
Listing number: 372905517783
Seller ID: brand_shop_emily
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/372905517783
Comments: I am unsure because of the R in the logo but I thought I could trust this Japanese seller and maybe that this was a very old vintage bag. 20200206_191534.jpg 20200206_191521.jpg 20200206_191534.jpg 20200206_192658.jpg 20200206_191521.jpg 20200206_192646.jpg 20200206_191814.jpg 20200206_192113.jpg 20200206_192051.jpg 20200206_191924_HDR.jpg 20200206_191459_HDR.jpg
