Hi, this looks ok but I'd like to see closeup pics of the PS letters inside the bag and inside the pocket.

Ladies, this is a scam. I caught it after having a similar issue with a Balenciaga bag and getting suspicious because this seller also has zero feedback and a similar layout to their listing and some identical wording. A google image search turned up these bag pictures listed on a Philippines web site:

http://www.olx.ph/index.php/view+cl...oenza+ps1&event=Search+Ranking,Position,1-1,1

I have reported the auction to eBay. Please DO NOT bid. Please keep an eye out for these and if you have a seller with no feedback, PLEASE use a google image search on the listing.

Thank you so much! This is the 2nd time this bag was listed and was curious why it was listed again.

The bag is also currently listed with a $1350 BIN by a seller in the Philippines, with the exact same pictures. Ebay has not taken the scam one down. I contacted the seller in the Philippines to let him know someone was stealing his pictures but nothing else I can do. Someone's about to pay $405 for a bag that doesn't exist and then have to file a PayPal claim.

Item name: PS1
Link: http://www.leboncoin.fr/accessoires_bagagerie/638330457.htm
Seller: not a professional, this bag is pre-owned and used

Comments: Hello ladies, please be indulgent as this is my first post ever despite having stalked you for years :graucho: plus the fact English is not my mother tongue.

I may buy a Proenza PS1 in navy from a seller on "le bon coin", which is a French site that allows you to get in touch with a seller living in your area. Indeed, she offered me to go and see the bag before making any décision. However, I need the help of your trained eyes ;)

She told me she got it years ago when Colette was the only store to sell proenza in Paris thanks to her brother working there. She does have the dustbag, but no Bill ou authenticity card (they dont do these right ?)

The bag is the large model. However, I cant see the tag "proenza schouler" attached to the strap. I have just emailed her about that, I ll let you Know. The deal is 500 euros !
Apart from that, it seems quite authentic to me...

The deal

Thank you for your Time and help !

Hello and welcome!

This bag looks ok but I would like to see a better pic of the PS letters inside the bag/pocket + logo on the front clasp.

The metal tag was often lost on the early PS1:s. They attached the tag better on newer bags though.

Thanks for the fast response !

About the tag : she emailed me back and told me she had removed it because it would always fall off ! She will look for it so she can put it back.

More info about its "age" : I have checked about the Colette part and the boutique has supported the PS line (clothing) since 2002. Thus, the bag is very likely one the very firsts PS1 if it turns out to be authentic.

As for the rest, the owner is on vacation so I highly doubt I can get more pictures by the time we meet up. I'll try though. However, if I do purchase the bag, it will be done IRL - meaning I'll only give the money after seeing the bag. Thus, even I know I'm new to the forum and can't have a full profile right now, if some kind ladies could give me some pieces of advice via PM about what to pay attention to before the D day, it would be very sweet.

Fake bags are definitely a burden for us who collect designer handbags.

Hello!

Would love to purchase this, but just wanted to get it authenticated first... I always find it a little suspicious when the listing name/description doesn't say that it's authentic... Also, it says that it's a Medium in the Item Description, but it looks like a Large in the photos. Could someone confirm the size as well? Thank you in advance!

Item: PS Proenza Schouler hand bag black leather new

Hi, it's authentic. I also think the pics show a large PS1.
