Hi, this looks like the same bag as post #3615 and the seller 2thumbsupvintage has relisted it. Last time we said it was authentic after looking at extra pics.
Is it me or the photo or the light but the hardware is black and not silver right?

If that's the case, chipping black enamel might be an issue.
I had a problem with my last ps1 over that problem. I loved it all the same though.

But if u haven't seen the black chipping enamel up close b4, you might get a little shocked once you receive the item?

That's if it really is black hardware. If it's silver hardware, I doubt that would be a problem.

Hi, it's authentic. The pics were great this time.
 
Hi Elliespurse,

I just received a 2013 PS1 medium Krishna from HG Bags today and I was surprised that it looked totally different from my other PS1's. The logos and lining were different. Even the dust bag and tags were different. I don't have a question about authenticity but were these changes just for this year 2013?

Thank you!:smile1:

Hi and Congrats on your new PS1 :D

Yes these are the changes for fall-13. I read an interview some time ago where PS said they hired a marketing firm to improve the PS image. They changed the lining to triangle print and removed all logos. The PS letters is on the foldover clasp now and the dustbag changed to a lighter color. Perhaps the old lining and dustbag were seen as too dark?
 
I don't have any complaints with the look of the old PS1 (obviously, I love it!😜) and I liked the dust bag as well. I was just not used to seeing the hang tag looking different, the PS letters on the back of the clasp instead of the logo, and no logos at all on any of the zippers and on the metal clasp that connects the shoulder strap. Even the tags and care cards look different! If I didn't trust HG bags, I would've thought it was fake! I guess I'll get used to it! Haha. The look of the bag and feel of the leather is the same so the minor details just threw me off. Thanks elliespurse!
