Authenticate This PRADA

[fashion_girl]

Hello!

Hope you all are staying safe!

I just got a Prada fairy bag from tradesy. It is one of my unicorn bags and I’ve been searching for one for many years. Since I am not planning on wearing/using it I didn’t mind the lining being pretty badly beaten up. The condition looks really good for being used and the price wasn’t bad either. Was going to just display it in my closet. I just wanted to post here to make sure the bag is authentic.

Thanks to anyone who replies. I greatly appreciate you and your time!!

Has the poshmark link expired?

The cards are authentic, old and for a small tissue pouch (which is one of my HGs and which I HATE PP for grabbing several years ago off another site...yes...I remember!!!). They are not the cards for this bag. I suspect that the seller probably knows this too. Here's a link to the exact item: https://poshmark.com/listing/Prada-tissue-holder-5d045dccde696a1dc519ff07

Having said that, I believe that the bag is authentic. Perhaps you could point this out to the seller and see if they still have the correct cards.

I've always used the app, so I had to figure out how to get the link. Sorry about that.

I left positive feedback, because I didn't find the cards until afterwards. I paid more than $3, obviously. I do feel like it's a card mix up. Thanks for your input.

Any idea what the bag might actually be called?

I've come to a conclusion. How about you @missfiggy & @Bratty1919 ?
@Jandrews01 You still haven't completed the format request properly. Where did you buy this? Include links and seller ID.

Depop. I used the format request best I could but I don’t have the details. The seller deletes items once sold (not unusual on Depop). So can’t link an item that doesn’t exist anymore !

And PP still has it, uses it and it's in her nylon Prada gauffre bag right now.

Is it enough information to be authenticated without a link? If not let me know what else I should upload!

Thank you for replying

Sorry to say this, but I don't believe that the Odette is actually authentic. If you need some sort of written authentication to make a claim against the seller you will need to ascertain what authentication agencies and procedures are accepted by the site on which you purchased the bag.

Looks ok to me but WHOA ......... that pleather lining ... ties with Prada's Patent leather for biggest mistake ever.

Be very aware that the cervo lux finish on the bag will deteriorate every time you touch it too. But I guess if it's only for display it will be ok for a longer term.

ahhh no I thought it was too good to be true. And I’m right in saying you’re not allowed to tell me what looks dodgy?

Yes ... so sorry but we don't mention specifics.

Thank you @missfiggy! I’ve never had a Prada bag and was so curious to why the lining cracked so bad. And I asked a friend who’s a purse fiend too and she said her Prada bags’ lining crack too. Just so heartbreaking to know.

Thanks for the warning! I appreciate it. It’s a work of art to me, it always has been, so I hopefully can take care of it for a long time. I plan on getting those display boxes for purses. But some say that’s bad. So I have to do more research on that.


Thank you so much again and again for your time!!!

Older Prada bags had real leather lining. That "pleather" crap is just that: crap. The real BS came when they first introduced it and tried to pass it off as real leather. PP not happy.

If I were you, I'd keep looking for one of those bags in better condition. They're out there. Just be sure to run it past us here first.

I’m hoping there is more out there, in better condition. But after 12 years I’m sure the lucky few who had it have sold it already. I’ll probably search again next year. And if I do find one, I’ll get this one’s lining redone and use the other one as a display.

Such a shame for Prada to be using such terrible materials. For such a luxury brand too.

Thanks @pradapsycho!

Sorry, we only authenticate for buyers. If you are selling and you want/need authentication, you will have to use an authentication agency which will provide a written statement of authenticity and you will need to pay their fees.
