Full frontal closeup of the main logo needed. Also, the photos, which were taken from the sale site, aren't enlarging, so I can't see relevant details.
Item Name: Prada Mini Nylon Bag (I don't know the actual name, I thought it was the mini 2000 re-edition but I don't think it is)
Listing number: ?
Seller ID: Depop
Link: https://www.depop.com/products/lara242424-mini-prada-bag-new-shipping/
Comments: I'm loving the Nylon Prada bag trend so I snagged this one up as soon as I saw. Then I realized that the bag is lined with their jacquard print, but I haven't seen other bags like this style lined with the pattern. This is the main reason I wanted some help authenticating it. Seller said she purchased from a vintage shop in Paris in 2018. Any help is so appreciated!

It's fake and for a whole lot more reasons than just the lining. It's a shocker!!
SEND IT BACK AND DEMAND YOUR $$$$$ BACK.
Oh gosh, can you tell me what the red flags are? I'm definitely not an expert so I wouldn't know. I think I can send it back with Depop's buyer protection policy if I tell them it's not authentic.

I attached it here, seller just took the photo at my request. Please let me know if I should edit the original post instead of replying with the attached photo (I’m on my phone and it won’t let me edit the original post). Thank you so much for you help, I really appreciate it

Unfortunately the news on this one is all bad. This was, and still is, the most often counterfeited Prada style ever. They sell for around $39 on most counterfeit sites, and are indistinguishable from the authentic ones in most photos. Even handling them, sometimes, it is hard to distinguish the real from the fake. The proportions of real to fake in the market place are about 100,000 fake to 1 authentic. So you can see the enormity of the scale of the fraud.
Having said all that, I don't believe that this one is authentic.
