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.

I can't imagine her buying a fake, but a friend thinks it's not authentic. I appreciate your time and opinions. Thank you

Vintage isn't always my forte, so wait for @Bratty1919 and @missfiggy to chime in, but it looks fine to me.

Sorry about the previous post and not posting correctly. Here’s all the missing information:

1. PRADA tessuto shoulder bag
2. Listing#:N/A
3. Seller ID: TheRealReal
4. Link: https://www.therealreal.com/product...s/prada-tessuto-shoulder-bag-71uhb?position=0
5. Comments: I recently purchased this 90s bag and having doubts about its authenticity. What concerns me is how almost plastic looking the chain is and how the hardware in the front and the back of the bag have Prada engraved but crooked. I tried to maybe see if it was loose but it’s not. I own a nylon Prada bag I bought from NEIMANs in December and the quality is so much better. Can you guys help authenticate?

Thanks for your help!

Item Name: Prada Cahier
Listing number: 5e4627262e7c2fed76bf5b3e (I assume this is it since it's Poshmark and not eBay)
Seller ID: kaitlynfairb848
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Prada-purple-Astrology-Cahier-Bag-5e4627262e7c2fed76bf5b3e
Comments:
It looks like the one I tried on in Italy but I just want to be sure. I bought it because the price was good and it seemed authentic to me but I have 3 days after delivery to report an issue/fake item. When it arrives I can update with better quality pictures if these aren't enough.
Slightly annoying that she used flash so I can't tell if it's the proper purple color. She said it was a gift and she doesn't have the cards/dustbag anymore

Just an update that it failed Poshmark's authentication so they're sending it back to the seller. Such a shame! I was 80% sure it wasn't going to be real anyway. Thought it was worth a shot to try knowing they have a good policy for inauthentic items.

5. Comments: I recently purchased this vintage bag from Beacon's Closet. It was sold as-is because it was missing a crossbody strap. Came with dust bag, but no authentication card. No number tag either. I've had a hard time finding this particular model online. Quality seems solid, but the inner brand stamp does not have the metal studs like I've seen in other bags.

I hope I've satisfied the posting criteria. Let me know if anything is missing. Thanks!

No red flags for me. That's a great bag, too. Had a few in my collection.
