Authenticate This PROENZA SCHOULER

[Elliespurse]

Thank you so much for the quick reply! The thing is, color is one thing I'm not sure about with this bag. I thought maybe it was a Birch? In the close ups it really looks more yellowish than a Smoke. Although I haven't seen either of them in person. But then I looked up the years and the corresponding colors, and I guess by the time Birch came out, the bottom seam has been removed from the tag. So it most likely is a Smoke?
OK, I'm rambling, sorry

Yes only Smoke had the blue edge coating. The Smoke lamb leather changes easily in humid climate to more brown color. My Smoke Large PS1 below,

Thanks again! I will sit on it for a bit then.
And your Large looks amazing!

Here is a FP listing (sold) for an older Smoke PS1 that had turned brown. I actually think that the color is quite pretty and this bag appeared to have browned evenly. I was tempted to purchase but refrained.

I never would've thought it was a Smoke! Maybe the fabric around the zippers would make me think it used to be a completely different shade of brown, but the bag aged very evenly indeed, it looks wonderful.

Thanks for the pics. It looks like pics are from two PS1:s, one with black Paint hardware and one with gun metal hardware.

I'm not sure whether to post this here or in a separate thread, but I'll just go with commenting here.

Yesterday I stumbled upon a very prolific "replica" community on Reddit. I reported it, but I doubt it's against the rules, otherwise it would've been taken down long ago. Anyway, there were two posts of people who had bought fake PS1's from China that are alarmingly close to the real thing. I won't post any links to the aforementioned community, but the happy buyers of those ugly fakes had taken detailed pictures and posted them on Imgur, so here they are: 1 and 2.

I only noticed three discrepancies (and I'm not even sure of the third one), so please beware of the fakes out there when buying preloved.

Hi Elliespurse,
I noticed that the PROENZA SCHOULER label below the zipper and the tag inside is not spaced out. The bag also doesn’t have a serial number tag inside the bag. Does that make a difference?

This PS1 looks like Saddle color from Fall 2013. PS changed the PS letters, logo etc for Fall 2013 and some bags had a mix of the old and new. The cloth tag was also only in some bags for Fall season.
