Hi everyone! I just saw a black PS1 in large on ebay. Would someone authenticate this please?

Item: Authentic Proenza Schouler PS1 Large Black Leather Satchel Messenger Bag $1995
Listing number: 141775478689
Seller:brownielover94
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-P...her-Satchel-Messenger-Bag-1995-/141775478689?

Comments: I tried to ask a question to the seller, but he/she doesn't seem to have the option enabled. From the pictures, the long strap hook doesn't look like the other ones that I've seen online, and the holes on the front two straps look a little small.

What does everyone else think? I love the bag and the price point but it may seem too good to be true. I appreciate everyone's help!

Hi, this is fake.

Your intuition was right.

Thank you!

Hi, your link goes to a fake bag with another item number.

For the right listing (http://www.ebay.com/itm/141777589591) everything looks ok but I'd like to see closeup pics of the stamped PS letters outside the pocket, below the zipper + logo on the fold-over clasp.

Not sure what happened with the link. But I've asked the seller if they could add this pictures! I will repost when they do.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
 
Hi all!

So I recently purchased this used Proenza Bag from a local consignment shop! It's definitely gotten a lot of prelove and looks real, but I just wanted to verify with you all that it is indeed a worn in authentic bag!

The strap was broken so I am fixing up the buckle part on that and one screw had come out that holds the hook together so I am replacing one of them, and there is a magnetic closure that has come off on the first inner pocket, and there is some wear on the metal parts and on the edge coating in spots as well. However, noting these spots of wear, can you all verify that it is authentic? I've attached a bunch of pictures! Please let me know if you need additional photos of anything!

Hi, I'm really sorry but this is fake.

I hope you can get your money back.
 
Hi Ellie,

Nooo :( Darn it was such a good deal I figured it was just marked low because of all the wear on it. Are you sure it's fake? I know the stamping on the inside appears a bit different than other bags and the screws on the back of the buckle seem off compared to others but is there a possibility that this could be an older model, or is it definitely fake?

If it is fake, what do you recommend? I don't want to wear a fake bag obviously but I know it's illegal to resell even marked as a fake so is best option to throw it out? I can't get my money back because I purchased it a while ago and had been finding a replacement screw for the strap and lost the receipt in the meantime :( I guess I could always gift it to my sister whose less aware of labels and would probably just think it's cute haha

I'm sorry, it's fake and I've seen this type before. It's not and older model, I've owned PS1 since they released the first bag in 2008-2009.

If this was sold as authentic I think the store should take it back and refund.
