Might be authentic but I haven't seen any of these in real life so can't be 100% sure.
Thank you, Missfiggy!
If I were to take photos in better lighting or at different angles, that would help? For what it's worth, the bag smells lovely, and the lining feels thick and exactly how I'd expect it to.
Missfiggy, I realized I forgot to take a picture of the underside of the zipper, so here it is along with some other photos.
Sorry for my continuous posting 
But I've been comparing the bag in question with the similar one on Yoogi's. Assuming that one's authentic, I'm beginning to see several discrepancies myself. Especially the button and stitching around it. (Although the one over there is a bit different - the chain is attached to the flap, not to the sides of the bag. But still...)

I'm just not convinced it's authentic. Can you get a refund?Sorry for my continuous posting
Will have to, I guess. Thank you, PP! I'll wait for Missfiggy's verdict and then go from there. Such a pity, though - I really liked this bag, brought it even though the seller misrepresented it in the listing. She said it was in great condition, and it wasn't by any means.
Thank you, MissFiggy!
Not sure what your budget is but there is this one on ebay in Australia:

That's a bit out of my budget, but that's OK, I'll just be patient and wait till another one comes my way. I returned the bag and received the refund.
Funny thing, though. The seller didn't believe me. She asked how exactly I got the bag authenticated, said that she'd bought it in Italy in the boutique, it's not fake, and "...You realize that's nonsense, right?" Sure.
Anyhow, MissFiggy and Prada Psycho, thank you guys so much!
They have just as many, if not more, counterfeit designers bag sellers in the streets of Italy than Canal Street in NYC.That's a bit out of my budget, but that's OK, I'll just be patient and wait till another one comes my way. I returned the bag and received the refund.

Yep
I suppose, theoretically, she could've bought it in the Prada boutique and it was a returned bag that had been swapped by a dishonest previous buyer. But most likely, she was just lying.
Yep.Yep
