i already purchased this, because it was too good of a deal and too convincing to pass up. i’d like some thoughts, though. the “r” in prada reflects authentic prada, and the lining looks legit.

Actually it’s not. I wanted to see how much truth there was to your authentication. I purchased it from the boutique, it’s real.

So you joined up SPECIFICALLY to make trouble. You have no other postings and no reputation here, and now I think that the joke is on you. The bag is blatantly fake and I think you may be working for counterfeiters.

It might interest you to know that the authenticators here all work for (or have worked for) designers and/or highly reputable (and EXPENSIVE) authentication agencies. We have years, and years, and years of experience here and elsewhere.


You DELIBERATELY (or maybe not) posted photos with blatant fake indicators - was that part of the test??? If this had been a genuine request I would have still said fake based on the photos. It is well known that counterfeiters join this site with fake requests just to try to invalidate our opinions. And, if you did actually buy this at an authorised Prada outlet, I suggest you have it authenticated by Prada, as it appears to be a fake, possibly swapped out as a return. So, the joke really is on you.

I would always rather a false negative than have anyone naively purchase a false positive fake.
