I just purchased a Prada Saffiano from them too! I purchased it through Amazon... I did you recognize yours as a fake? Mine looks very authentic... OMG! I'm so concerned now! $2k+ GONE!!
Well, I am unfortunately here to report a fake Prada from Myhabit.com. I'm looking for the BN2435 in Palissandro, and apparently it is no longer available. So after a lengthy search for an excellent preowned one, I finally settled for one from Myhabit, because how could Amazon have fake products?? Ha!
After I ordered it, for almost the same price as it would have been from the e-store at Prada, I started looking at reviews here for the website. FAKE, FAKE, FAKE everywhere here. So I freaked out and tried to cancel it, but it had shipped.
What a horrible fake it is!
I have 4 other Pradas, all vitello diano, so I'm familiar with the leather, and this was an appalling excuse for a handbag! Wrapped in foam, terrible smell, stiff leather that was not remotely the same. I would send pictures, but I sent it back in a flash. I didn't even want it in my house!
Oh well, back to my search...if you have suggestions, let me know!

Save your money and shop at Prada and Prada authorized retailers such as Saks, Neiman Marcus, etc.
@Prada Psycho is totally right. The fakes are so, so prevalent and even the generally reputable flash sites have had major problems with either quality or authenticity.
The extra couple hundred dollars you save are not worth the risk of owning a valueless counterfeit.
The good news is that Bloomberg recently announced that Prada will now start offering more bags around the $1,400 price point. http://www.purseblog.com/prada/prada-to-debut-more-bags-under-1400/

Here's another new site to watch out for - another PURVEYOR of PUKE.
http://www.*******.com.au
I would very strongly advise against purchasing their wares for several reasons.
1 - These bags are sold out world wide so how is it that this company can have almost 20 different models and colours IN MULTIPLES for sale??
2 - And at a large discount??
3 - None of their pictures shows any of the requisite hallmarks of authenticity.
These are the typical signs of a company onselling fakes.
TREAD YOUR OWN PATH.

"This bag has never been used. It was purchased from Brandsexclusive and after receiving it I realised I prefer the smaller size. I am unable to return it as per sale conditions.
This size retails for over $3,000. It is 100% authentic (purchased from reputable seller). "
Unfortunately this naive buyer has been scammed by brandsexclusive.
