Pam asked me to put these pics up here for now.
I know nothing about Prada.

| | | If you want, you can send to MP for authentication. I cannot agree this bag is real. |

| | | Yeah, it got only 1 reply on purseforum, whereas 3 people here (on this thread or PM) have said it is fake in their opinions. Please post these PROMINENTLY on the purse forum, not buried within a huge thread where it will get lost and not commented on, or i will do it for you |

| | | On TPF, ALL questions about authentications go in specific "Authenticate This..." threads and if they're anywhere else on the forum, they get moved (and the mods get really annoyed LOL)
So even if you put it somewhere more prominent, it would end up getting moved and buried.
I know nothing about Prada, but it seems that "Rosemary" is the designated "expert" on that brand's authenticity thread. Like here, when a mod says something is "real" most people don't weigh in any further.

| | | Why not just take it to a Prada store? Reese, you're in Toronto. There is one right on Bloor street. When I was still living in Toronto, I had nothing but good service there.
The tag is so aweful! |

Besides MP, you can always go to Ebay's Shoes, Purses and Fashion Accessories Forum. One of the boardie, peskipiksipesternomi, can probably help you. She's helped me few times.
Another option: Purse Watch (Ebay ID= quirky-princess) also does authentication.

| | | ^ Thanks girls for helping me out on this! I am pretty convinced it's fake too (otherwise I would've never brought attention to this bag) I just need confirmination, then I assure the seller and get my money back.
Asiandiva: I'm in the suburbs and I don't go downtown often since I'm really busy with schoolwork. I'm going to Yorkdale Saturday so I would be able to stop by at holts? |

| | | I doubt Holt's will authenticate for you; besides mostly SA's at Holt's know squat. I could almost guarantee you could take a good fake Balenciaga motorcycle bag and they wouldn't know the difference.
I don't think you need to bother anyways. Today another friend of mine agreed with me it's fake. The more I look at the pics, the more it's fake. The craftsmanship is horrible. Even if Prada was to make a freebie bag to give out with their perfume, it would be made 10x better.
Have you ever asked the seller where she got it from? |

| | | Nope, I haven't asked her where she got it from although, it's obvious... not from the Prada boutique. |

Is that enough to pm the seller and request a 110% money back according to the mall rules? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
