Authenticate This PRADA

Oh dear.

And this, dear reader, is why we ask for so many specific photos.

My bad...I was fooled by this one. And I shouldn't have been. Because there was one GLARING error in the photos on the listing. FMD...shame on me.

Apologies.
It's fine, I had a rather good laugh about it! Just irritated that this whole hassle could've been avoided if the seller had simply taken the proper photos when listing the bag.
 
I found this thrift shopping today, and I'm wondering if it's real. I once found a genuine Gucci wallet at this same store, so I know miracles do happen! :smile: I know NOTHING about Prada so I thought I'd let some expert eyes take a look, if so inclined.
It looks like a nylon double handled top zip tote type bag with leather trim and side zipper pockets. It's got Prada lining that looks good but feels kind of cheap. No tags or labels other than the little enamel on metal rectangular one inside and the triangle on front. Taking some photos to attach. If you need something else, please let me know. I appreciate any help or comments. Bag measures about 14 inches across by 9.5 inches tall by 4.5 inches across the bottom.

These old fakes were better made than some of the originals. Stands true today too.

Hi there!! While thrifting today I came across this bag. Im thinking it's a cuir double Prada bag. I would not want to carry a fake. The girls and I looked it over at work and we are just not sure. Some fakes are good. Any help would be appreciated !!

Hi lovely bag people's!!

I did more research today while slow at work and I think all signs point to it being real. I hope my intuition. Is right.

I'm only hesitant on 3 things .. the white quality assurance tag being over the made in Italy tag. As well as the luggage tag being stamped with Prada because one person said it should be blank. Anyways I am looking forward to your expertise!! Thank you in advance ☺️
