Thank you so much for your help, I had no idea there are so many counterfeits of this bag. I really want a vintage one but maybe should just purchase their re-edition 2000 bag in full rather than search for a vintage.

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.
Due to the above, I can't make any assessment of either of these bags.

HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS but need more pix. I'm not an instagrammer so can't access the link. Can you please get more photos? The other side of the key cloche, inside of the coin purse, zip pull tab, underside of the zip head where the brand name of the zipper is found - these would help maybe.
We have a format for these requests, please use it.

Whilst it is almost impossible to authenticate these small leather items just from photos, I'm going with authentic for this one. There are no red flags or alarm bells and the counterfeits usually have one feature which I cannot see on this one. I think you got your $$ worth.
Thank you for your help. I was also curious about the “R” in “Prada”. Should the R have a bend in the right leg instead of it being straight? Not sure if I explained that correctly.
I know exactly what you mean about the R, but seriously ... Ignore those useless online Authenticity Guides - the information in them is either outdated or deliberately WRONG. Prada tweaks their logo just about every range, every season. It's a constant challenge keeping up. There might be a "made in" tag secreted away somewhere, or it might have been removed, or there might never have been one. It's not something to worry about, or rely on for authenticity.
