Good morning, I hope you are well. I am hoping one of you lovely individuals could help me to authenticate a bag before I purchase?

Item Name: Prada Hobo Beige/Cream
Listing number: Private seller
Seller ID: As above
Link: n/a
Comments:
Apparently the bag has been in storage for years and so whilst vintage it is in impeccable condition! I love the bag and I would love to buy it, but I get very nervous around authentication as I am no expert! I do not have photos of the zipper but apparently it is YKK.

Please could you help?
Thank you in advance!

This is the most counterfeited Prada style. It's also faked extremely well soo that it is just about impossible to tell authenticity just from photos. In storage for years is suddenly becoming the latest seller catchcry, which raises red flags with me. Sorry, I can't do better than that.

Name: Chain Wallet Crossbody Saffiano Leather
Link: None (expired)
Seller: Rebag
Comments: I purchased this 2 years ago from Rebag. I didn't really question the authenticity at the time as it felt/looked like the model I had handled in store previously. However, the corners are starting to wear down and bits of gray are peeking out at the corners.Also, the more I look at it, the more the P and R in the logo look too close together. It came with an authentic dust bag, but no authenticity cards.

There is a white tag inside the zip section that reads, "233". I couldn't get a clear picture of it.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for your reply! I agree it seems too good to be true! There also seems to be something not quite right with the front logo, do you agree?

It’s heartbreaking that there are so many individuals selling fakes as I very much would like one of these designs (a real one of course ahah!). Can you recommend any reliable sites or sellers?

Thank you once again,
Katie

Unfortunately, the secondary market is rife with fakes and there is really no site I would recommend. You could try Yoogi's or Fashionphile, and maybe Reebonz, but as a precaution you should get anything authenticated before shelling out your $$$. Even the most reputable sites have been known to list fakes, probably unknowingly though.

Hello Everyone,
First off I am new to this but will try my best. Anyways I recently visited my aunt and she offered to give me one of her many purses, a vintage Prada nylon bag and at first it looked nice but as I looked at it I notice a few things and was wondering if this is ok, I read online that most bags have a 3 digit factory number but can find mine and the stitching in a area looks funny, also it has Velcro for the flap. Anyways would love anyone’s help on authenticating it.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this style and am not convinced that it is actually authentic. Too many red flags for me.
