To our wonderful Prada tpfers - wishing you all a happy, merry, tipsy, joyfilled Christmas. It's already Christmas where I am so we've started on the happy, merry, tipsy joyfilled already...lol. And here's hoping 2021 is an improvement on the fiasco that was 2020!!!!

Merry Christmas!! Thank you, Missfiggy, for all the work you're doing here! And thank you, all the other tpfers who provide their immense knowledge and save us from wasting our money!

NOTE: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.

Please follow these rules:

1. Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).

2. Help our authenticators by using the following format:

Item Name:
Listing number:
Seller ID:
Link:
Comments:

Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format or for any reason they choose.

3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we. Please provide photos taken with an actual camera. Cell phone pictures rarely provide good details.

Pics needed:

- Front view of bag
- Zipper & its end
- Hardware
- Base of the handles
- Both sides of all cards
- Large clear interior photos especially of the linings - one with flash and one without
- Closeups of any luggage labels - both sides
- Closeups of main logos
- Closeups of interior labels/logos

4. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

5. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.

6. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function to alert the Mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

Hi! I hope you can help me. This isn’t an eBay purchase. A guy I know buys out storage units. He knows I collect bags and that I pay up no nonsense so he gives me dibs when he finds any. I know Prada ok but have never seen a duffle bag. Would you mind looking at it to see if it looks ok? He’s a good guy and told me if anything is ever fake he’ll refund me.
Name: Prada duffle bag
Seller: storage auction friend

thank you!!!!

Bump & some questions:
- The seller says the hole is at the seam, which (I think) should be fixable. Does the price appropriately reflect that? And would Prada do repairs if there’s no authenticity card?
- I also notice the inside plaque says “Made in Italy” - I’ve seen a mix of this and “Milano” in other Gallerias. Which is accurate, or can it be both?

Can't help without clear photos especially of the lining and all badges and plaques. I've seen fakes authenticated by the real real. And that torn lining stinks to high heaven of a "Made in ...." tag being removed.

At this stage, and with the supplied photos, applying the "would I buy it myself" test, the answer is a definite NO.

Photos as per post #1.

thank you for your reply

the bag is at an antique shop and I don’t have access to it to take the photos as required.

from the photos I have uploaded, I would greatly appreciate it if you can give an opinion?

other information which might be relevant is the price: $220 aud, approx. $180 US

thank you in advance
