Hi all— wondering if any of you Prada experts can weigh in on the authenticity of this nylon backpack. Measures approximately 10” x 10” x 5”. Many thanks 🙂

So highly faked that IMO it must be authenticated but it looks good to me.

Thanks so much, jsales0--I will have it professionally authenticated for sure...appreciate your opinion 🙂

Hi, curious if you have had this authenticated yet and the results. I have experience with Prada bags, and I'm going to say it is real. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your input—I am waiting to hear back on the authentication…will post the results here after I receive them👍

The authentication took a while to come back, but the verdict is in—she’s authentic 👍

That's great news! 

I'm guessing part of the reason that it took a while is because those nylon Prada items are so "well faked" that they may have wanted 2 authenticators to agree and had to wait for the consensus. 

Congrats!

Thanks! Yes, the gal at A4U told me that the Prada authenticators are located in Italy and usually take a while getting back to her with the authentications...I think you're right about them wanting to be thorough, with the high number of fakes floating around.
