Hi, this looks ok but it's the first of this style we have looked at in this thread.
It's the fall/winter 2015 Bergen shoulder bag, see our reference lib thread here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/proenza-schouler-bergen-reference-thread.914828/
Also wait for second opinion from @IntheOcean

Looks fine to me too. But yes, like Elliespurse said, this is a rare one. But it's a beauty,

Hello! New to this forum please may I have your thoughts on the authenticity of this PS mini buckle bag? I have done some research online and can see that some have this colour lining. I think the thing that is concerning me is that it doesn't have PS or 'Made in Italy' on the inside. Again, I can see some pictures on reputable companies (eg Far Fetch) where they don't have this. Many thanks in advance for your help! Vicki

Don't know this style, so I won't comment on the authenticity of it. Where did you purchase this? I saw the same bag sold on FP and TRR.
ETA: welcome!

Hello thanks for your response.

I bought it on Depop. It's this one: https://www.proenzaschouler.com/uk/shopping/buckle-mini-crossbody-bag-14636949

I can also see it on sale on Vestiare Collective with the same characteristics which is encouraging, because they check everything for authenticity before selling ...

The thing is, the one on the PS website has a beige interior, whereas yours has red. On FP, there's a now sold Buckle bag that's the exact same as yours, and it has 'For promotion only. Not for sale' stamped inside. It's hard to see, but it's there. So although I'm not familiar with the Buckle bag, I would guess that the white with red interior one was for promotion, and then they changed the interior to beige, and that's what you see on the one sold on the PS website.

There should be 'Made in Italy' stamped somewhere... Perhaps on the white pocket? It may be hard to see.

However, wait for Elliespurse to respond, she's been authenticating Proenza for years.

I can't add much but even one-off sample or promotion bags should have a Made in Italy stamp, at least they had it in the past. They only makes a few of each sample bag and it makes it hard to compare to the regular series of a style.

Yep, I think this is authentic. Also, it's a gorgeous color!
ETA: the color appears to be Watermelon from the Spring Summer 2014 collection
