Authenticate This PRADA

Thank you for the reply! The website simply says Prada.com and has the same layout. The only difference is the language. I thought perhaps it’s cheaper according to the region, and because designer brand prices can vary. I also considered it’s cheaper because a lot of Prada is made in China. Is it possible to copy a QR code? Do Prada bags from China come with authentication cards?
Like Prada Psycho said, you have 3 days to inform Poshmark that you received a fake and 5 days to send the bag back to get the refund. Regardless of what the seller says, you have the right to get your money back. Regarding the website: I can't scan the QR code off any of the pictures available to look at the website myself, but yes, it's really easy to copy and print a QR code, it's just an image, after all. Now, the link on the fake receipt might lead to a real Prada website, but I'm almost 100% sure the link on the sticker on the box leads to a website selling fakes. That sticker was the dead giveaway #1, btw. Please note that the real website will have 'Prada.com' as its address, in the top bar in your browser. Always look at the URL to make sure you're on a legit website. If it just says 'Prada' somewhere on the website but the actual address is different, then it's not Prada.

If you don't mind, may I ask about the prices you mentioned? You said, 'The title of her listing reads “price reflects authenticity” alluding in my eyes to “this is expensive because it’s real.”' and ' I checked the yen conversions and it turns out the price she listed reflects only a little more of a markup to the selling price on the foreign Prada website.'. The bag was listed for $100 on Poshmark, the price in Japan might be a little lower, I don't know. But it's not going to be under $100 United States Dollars. Yet you said it was only a bit lower than what you paid. You also said you initially thought the bag was authentic because it's expensive and the price you paid reflected that. So, did you not know what the bag actually retails for and figured the price of $100 both on Poshmark and the foreign website the QR code took you to was correct, or did you pay a lot more than $100?

Comments: So I just bought this because I was overly excited & they accepted my offer before answering any of my questions about the purse. I looked up "nappa gaufre" and it looks nothing like this! I have a hunch I'm waiting until it gets here to do a return through poshmark saying that it isn't as described (because it isn't, it's a totally different bag).

The bag you have pictured is a fake. It's not a gauffre, it's not nappa, and it's not Prada.

Thank you! I kind of forced them to cancel the order for me. She said she had accidentally switched the bag's authenticity card and sent it to someone else on accident. After that I knew something was sketchy. Just waiting for a refund now. Thanks again!
 
Happy 1st of April, hope no one plays any rude jokes on you today! :) Ladies, could you please take a look at this bag? I have my doubts but wanted to run it by you. The seller obviously says it's authentic. There are only two photos in the listing, so I asked the seller for more, and these are what she sent me. Thank you in advance!

Hi! I’m new here. Just want to know your thoughts on this Prada bag from eBay that I’m thinking of bidding on:

Item Name: Authentic vintage Prada black nylon tessuto leather crossbody messenger hand bag
Listing number:284240864945
Seller ID:jcp_2709_5

Bit of a train wreck, but I'm thinking it's authentic. I'd like @Bratty1919 and @missfiggy to chime in to be sure. Old nylons aren't my forte and the photos in the listing leave a lot to be desired.

Based on the photos, I agree with PP. Authentic, vintage and definitely rode hard and put away wet.
 
Hi if anyone has time can you please authenticate this item. It’s through Poshmark but I still want to double check! I tried to zoom in the pictures as the app and website don’t really give much detail to the pictures.

thank you!! I appreciate the time so much !

Looks authentic, but wait for @missfiggy to pop in. She'll know what I'm looking at. ;)
