Hello everyone, a newbie here. Just got this ps1 (large?) From Japan rakuten. It was honestly way too cheap and had tags on, everything but the authenticity card, which is making me worried. Also the leather isn't as buttery soft as reviews say so I'm very concerned cus it's my first luxury bag. Will appreciate some help here

Hi, everything looks ok but I'd like to see more pics of the inside and backside.
It's a PS1 from around 2010-2011.

hello - I have wanted a PS1 for so long! This is a medium in navy but seems a steal. It looks a little rigid to me but I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to authenticate? Thanks

Thanks! But may I know how you figure it's authenticity? Also is it normal for the strap on the large to be so short? It seems like a long shoulder strap as opposed to a crossbody strapCongrats on scoring this beauty and at a good price, too! I hope you'll love it, the PS1 is a wonderful bag. The black hardware is gorgeous, by the way.
While I'm not an authenticator per se and the amazing Elliespurse does all the authenticating of this brand here on the forums, I know the PS1 really well because it's my absolute all-time favorite bag. Elliespurse deemed the bag you posted authentic and I personally completely agree with her.
Basically, to determine if an item is real you have to just get really familiar with it and look at those few minor details that counterfeiters tend to get wrong if we're talking about 'good' fakes. That's why so many pictures are required. Thankfully, most of the fakes, as far as PS is concerned, I mean, are quite bad and you can just tell immediately from one or two pictures. If you want to boost your knowledge of the brand, you might want to study this and previous Authenticate this Proenza Schouler threads, just basically go through all the pictures submitted by other users, pay attention to Elliespurse's responses and eventually you'll be able to recognize fakes more easily.
Now, for the strap - it's supposed to be that short, yes. That's always been the one thing that I think the PS designers got wrong when they designed the bag. It would've been so much better had the Medium and Large PS1 bags been a crossbody. But instead, it's a shoulder bag. Some PS1 lovers came up with the idea to add hooks to elongate the strap. Perhaps that would work for you?
The PS1 Pouch comes with a really long strap, and the PS1 Extra Large comes with two straps - one regular, one long. Don't quote me on this, but I believe that Tiny also comes with a bit longer strap? I'm not sure, sorry, I don't have this one in my collection. But the PS1 Medium and Large are not really crossbody-friendly.
Can someone authenticate this?

Hello. Could someone please help authenticate this clutch? I purchased from The Real Real in 2018 and was thinking of selling. I'm now realizing that this may be a fake since it doesnt have numbers behind the flap in the pocket. Could this still be authentic? Please advise
