Hi and welcome to the Purse Forum :) The bag seems to be authentic, it's an early PS1 model and I don't think there were any 'good' fakes back then. Wait for @Elliespurse to look at it. However, you're missing several important photos: the back, the logo under the clasp, the hardware of the strap, and the hangtag. Can't see the last two in the pictures, did the bag come with those?

Hi, I agree the pics looks ok but we would like to see more pics.
Yes it's an early PS1 from 2008-2010. The black hardware looks to be in good condition.

Thanks so much! I just wanted to buy something nice for myself without sacrificing my left arm, you have a great community here. Hope you guys have an awesome holiday weekend :smile:

It's a very nice bag indeed! :yes: Sometimes sellers would confuse Large and Medium sizes because they're difficult to tell apart from the front. It's a Large PS1. Black leather with black hardware looks stunning, and the bag seems to be in near-perfect condition. The black hardware, sadly, is prone to chipping, that's why it was later switched for gunmetal. But on this bag, the hardware looks great. Congrats on such a lovely find! :tup:

Hi, do you think you could authenticate this PS1? It seems to be the large:

Name: Proenza Schouler Suede Shoulder Bag
Seller: tpt123
Site: Vinted UK
Link: https://www.vinted.co.uk/women/bags/shoulder-bags/1179630143-suede-bag
Comment: it looks pretty large and legitimate but the back pocket does not have a zipper, it seems to be an open pocket and I'm not entirely sure if PS makes that.

Hi, this looks ok but more closeup pics of the stamped PS letters on the tab inside the pocket would be great. Also wait for @IntheOcean to look at this.
It's the Extra-Large PS1 with two straps (long strap is shown), it has the flat back pocket not the zipper back pocket. It's from 2013 or newer.

Thank you @Elliespurse !!!! Love the fact that it's the extra large! I honestly didn't know that they made one but now I'm in love.

Yep, it's most likely authentic, and I'd say it's a pretty good price for a Proenza Schouler bag in such a great condition. Ask the seller if they have the second strap, it's the shorter one that would allow you to wear the bag on the shoulder. With the longer strap, I found it sits too long on the shoulder, but it's a perfect length for wearing the bag crossbody.

Thank you SO much @IntheOcean for the authentication, yes it seems truly amazing. And I seriously appreciate your suggestion about the strap but actually I don't really mind at all, I prefer my shoulder bags to go as long as they can and I mostly am a crossbody/handle-carried bag person, but love to have a really long strap dangling. Seems a little silly, I guess but even if it's got one strap, it's absolutely fine by me!

Then the bag will suit you perfectly :yes: Frankly, when I had the Extra Large, I never used the shorter strap either. I only ever worn the bag crossbody or occasionally by the top handle.
