Authenticate This PRADA

[aglow]

Hi! I purchased a preloved Prada bag and would love help authenticating it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Item Name: Prada Saffiano Lux
Listing number: N/A
Seller ID: fashionette
Link: https://www.vestiairecollective.com...leather-saffiano-prada-handbag-42484274.shtml
Comments: The bag came with an authenticity card and spare key. The style number is BN2649. I’m a little skeptical of the logo inside because the letters in word “MILANO” look a little misaligned.

Hmmm...Prada's almost NOTORIOUS QA, or lack thereof.

But it's authentic.

Comments: Hey guys! So this is a bag that I purchased, in person, just before Christmas here in London (on Portobello Road in case there are any Bedknobs & Broomsticks fans in the room!)
I am not sure if I’m allowed to post in person buys here, so please feel free to ignore this if it is not allowed. I did get an authentic verdict from a paid authenticator, but I doubt they have as much expertise as you guys so I wanted to see if I could get your opinion too. I didn’t initially doubt the bag and have been merrily carrying it, but I can’t find a “Made in…” tag and it’s been driving me crazy 🫠. Thank you for your time and expertise and once again no worries if you cannot help. Lucinda ❤️

Please stop stressing. It's authentic.

Have you turned out the inside zip pocket? Sometimes the "Made in" tag is hidden in there.

Thank you for your contribution to my ongoing endeavour to Be Less Mad 🤣🫡

That’s such a relief, thank you so much ❤️ alas no luck inside the zip pocket but as long as it’s real I’m happy 😃 it was only £60 🤗😨 so it’s my “it might rain” bag ☔️

If there's no tag, then you use the information on the main logo...PRADA MILANO. So - made in Italy, in Milan maybe.

And f...m...d...£60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENJOY THE RAIN!!!!

Well that took SOME EFFORT. At least it's gone now so we've saved someone from a heap of disappointment and hassle.

Comments: Hey guys! I’m back again 🙈 the more I buy.. the more.. I want to buy! So I’ve just snagged this bag, if it’s real it will be my oldest ever Prada 🤗 I love the chain detailing and I’m super intrigued by the 925 on the plaque. I bought a vintage Gucci from the same seller which I’m sure is authentic (I’m more confident buying Gucci as I’ve been collecting that for longer!). It hasn’t arrived yet so these are not the only pictures I have. Would love and appreciate your opinion. Thank you very very much! 😊🤗❤️

Comments: Hi, I purchased this bag off of eBay and I received a message stating that the bag had been customized so they couldn’t authenticate it. By the time I’d called to get additional information, they’d already shipped the bag to me and refunded my $40 authentication fee. I asked what had been customized because the listing description did not indicate any customizations, eBay said the corners had been touched up. The bag just arrived today and I don’t know whether to return it or not. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Lots of pics…Part 1…
