Hi! I would like to purchase this Prada bag from an online seller for a good price. Please help me authenticate this :smile:

Comments: Prada

I'd like to hear from @missfiggy and @Bratty1919 but I'm thinking it's OK, but not 100% certain. The photos aren't that great and I'd like to see better pics of the lining, metal parts, triangle and inside logo tag.

Says it's sold. Did you buy it?

Hi! Yes! I bought it because she told me I can return it back anytime if I can prove that it’s fake. She lives nearby and I know her address :) anyway attaching more photos of the bag :) thank you so much for your reply btw :)

Those help, but I still need to see better pics of the lining. You need close ups with flash, natural light (preferably sunlight), and pull the lining out of the bag to get a full shot of the lining. Also, need a good, clear close of the black Made in [wherever] tag. Yes, all this in necessary to be certain.

PS: Did she say where SHE got the bag? I see the info on the card but that's only partially helpful. Did she buy it from Space herself or on the secondary market?

Comments: Hello, I just purchased this bag from Vestiaire Collective and it should arrive in a couple of days but I have a weird feeling about them only taking a few minutes to authentificate. I've had other items take a few days. The seller also doesnt have the card or invoice. Thank you very much

Hi again. She told me she bought it herself from HK Space when she went there for a trip. She also claims that all her Prada bags are store-bought.
For some reason, there is no made in (insert where) tag anywhere. I also inquired about that before purchasing the bag but she wasn’t aware of it, too. I think she didn’t mind looking for it because she bought it from Prada anyway. But she showed me some photos of her other bags where she was able to find this kind of tag. She said those bags were older models.
Attaching more photos of the lining. Hope you get a better view this time :)

Unfortunately these photos just don't help. Please read post #1 for the photos we need. Photos MUST BE LARGE, CLEAR and VERY WELL LIT so we can see minute detail. Dark fuzzy images are useless. I also need closeups of the word Prada woven onto the shoulder strap and both sides of the strap, including hardware.

Thank you. I will come back with more pictures once it arrives and I can take better ones. This is just what the seller posted.

Those little black [Made in] tags are really hard to find, however some of them (reliable rumors) are actually removed by Prada employees when they say anything except Made in Italy. Even Prada is aware that a Made in China tag doesn't look good for their brand. Just makes them a lot more money.

Anyhoo, I'm comfortable this one is authentic after getting a really good look at the lining pics. Photos are an authenticator's eyes. When they're good photos, it makes our work a lot easier. Enjoy! Love that color.

Hello, I just got the bag and I saw a few things that seem wrong but it's my first Prada item so I don't know what to expect.
Please help me authenticate it. Thank you!

@missfiggy knows these better than I do, but there's no red flags for me. Looks fine. But wait for MissFiggy's input.

Dear Prada Experts,
I bought this bag from a personal shopper. I inspected the bag, and I couldn't find the 'made in' tag anywhere. There is only a code tag (165). I'm just worried because all my Prada bags have a 'made in' tag. Hoping you can help me authenticate this. Thank you so much!
