Hi Elliespurse & IntheOcean,
Please help to authenticate this Heather Grey PS1,From 2019, the interior lining a bit different from my other PS1 bags,
I appreciated for any feedbacks.TIAView attachment 5133538View attachment 5133536View attachment 5133537View attachment 5133539View attachment 5133540View attachment 5133541View attachment 5133542View attachment 5133543
Hi, everything looks ok but it looks like one of the stamped PS letters is missing.
I've seen this plain lining in some PS bags, it's different from the triangle print.

Like I said in private messages, this bag seems to be a mish-mash of older and newer styles. The new, updated PS1 bags in seasonal colors have the new lining and the leather tab with the logo and 'Made in Italy' stamps in the main compartment, not in the pocket. That might explain the discrepancies, especially regarding the missing logo stamped inside the main compartment under the zipper. There were bags in 2013, when the first big 'update' happened, that had old and new parts mixed together.

Also, it'd be nice to see the following photos, clear and straight-up: under the clasp, side, hangtag, fabric tag inside the interior zipped pocket, all the sides of the all cards that came with it.

ETA: here's another mish-mash bag, this time a Mini: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-proenza-schouler.551157/page-564#post-33047546 Note how it has the new lining, but the rest of the bag - the hardware, the pull tabs - is old.

Hi @Elliespurse and @IntheOcean, could you please authenticate this PS1? I have an offer accepted on it already (Vinted has terrible customer service, so didn't go with that), just needed your opinion on this bag before paying up.

Hi, everything looks ok but I'd like to see closeup pics of the logo on the fold-over clasp.
It's a PS1 from 2010-2012.

Thanks!
From what photos are provided, it looks OK. The seller didn't specify the size, but it's a Large.
 
By the way @IntheOcean, would you mind if I asked how you're certain that it's the Large?
The easiest way to tell apart the Large from the Medium is to look at the back. On the Medium, the zipper starts and ends right under the vertical seam on the flap. On the Large, the zipper is longer and starts and ends halfway between the vertical seam and the rivet. :smile: From the front, it's a lot trickier, but the Large is more square-shaped than the Medium, i.e. it's quite a bit taller, but not a lot wider.

Thank you so much @IntheOcean!!! I always found identifying sizes so baffling... Some of the especially slouchy medium ones look kinda big and I've fallen in love with them countless times, only to find that they aren't the large. Fingers crossed this large works out!!

I hope it does. The Medium is indeed quite roomy, and with slouchy bags, sometimes, it's not easy to tell apart different sizes in mod shots.
 
Hi all! I just purchased a bag from fashionphile and wanted to ask if y'all could please authenticate it before I cut the tags off. I've been looking for a black PS1 Pouch for /ages/ and couldn't pass it up if it turned out authentic. Thanks so much in advance!

Comments: I've attached some more photos of the hardware since they're pretty much invisible in the pre-provided photos (excuse the mess in the background, this is my window with the best lighting lol). I'm not sure what else you'd need photos of, but I can take more pictures if you need them. Thanks again!

It's authentic, but wait for Elliespurse to confirm! Thank you for the additional photos.
Hi :) Congrats on getting a Pouch, it's a very spacious bag, and black with gunmetal hardware is a stunning combo. :love:

Thank you so much! This exact bag was my dream combo when it first released, but I was too young to get it back then, so I was ecstatic to find one finally available and in really great condition!
