Hi Authenticators, I'm so happy I found this blog and wish I did before I purchased my first Prada handbag. :sad: Although it was authenticated by Vestiaire, after reading through this thread I'm now having doubts about it's authenticity. The areas of concern I have are the interior Prada logo (which looks slightly wonky and does not go through the Prada ropes), the strap where the Prada "A" is spaced quite far from the end and the bottom of the bag which as a Saffiano leather overlap that is quite prominent. Also it has a Lampo zipper which looks authentic but there a $ where the zipper meets the threads in the middle, which I haven't seen on pictures before. I've attached all the pictures here and would love to please have your opinion. Thank you in advance for any help or guidance. :smile:

I'm not convinced that this is authentic.
 
20210226_115503.jpgHi there, I picked these up at a thrift store. Wondering if they just might be real? Found similar in my online search, but nothing to convince me one way or the other. I do see that there is no Prada stamp on the buckle ,which I'm wondering is an indication of a fake. Thank you and stay well.

Looks OK so far, but the listing photos leave a lot to be desired. If you buy it, take your own photos and repost it quoting your post so we have the original information.

PS: I don't generally comment on pricing since that's very subjective, but the asking price for this bag given the wear and tear IMHO is a bit high.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind about the price.
