I took a chance on this bag on ebay which had terrible photos but the seller promised to send the original Nieman's receipt and tag. She did and I can say that it is authentic and while it is 7 years old, it is in fabulous condition and I think it is still in style. It works perfectly for my flying every week lifestyle and I can honestly say it won't be my last Prada nylon bag. Sorry about the quality of the photos, the Droid doesn't take good pictures.
