Authenticate This PROENZA SCHOULER

[IntheOcean]

Thank you so much! What a pleasant surprise!!!
I was a bit concerned about the lack of PS engraving on the hardware and the names being close together on the inner tag. I imagine those details probably changed with time, as this bag has been in production for quite a while now.

That's exactly what happened, yes. There was a redesign in 2013, with new font for the logo and new lining. Some bags that were released at that time, such as yours, were somewhat of a mix between the old and the new styles.

Thank you so much for all the info! I'll dig around in the reference library and some older threads to learn more about all these details. I'm especially curious about the changes in the leather used and which one I've got.
I won't hog this thread anymore though.
Thank you both, @IntheOcean and @Elliespurse !

Hello @Elliespurse @IntheOcean, me again I’d like to get your opinion on this bag. Its heavily used but the price is too good to pass up on. I can easily have it restored.

Wait for Ellie to comment, but I believe this is authentic It's a size Large, the color could be Military? It was repeated several times, so I can't say exactly what season this bag's from, but no later than 2012.

Hi, I agree with IntheOcean, it's authentic. Yes it looks like a Military PS1 from 2010-2012.

Hello! First timer here.

I just got my first Proenza Schouler bag YEARS after I saw my first one. My dream one is a larger one, but I can't afford it yet. I bought this one second hand and was wondering if it was authentic. I'll probably keep it even if it's not genuine because the quality is quite good, but please let me know what you think! I'm particularly worried about the mismatch serial number. The tag says its the PS1 Mini. (Also, any tips on how to take care of a suede bag?) Thank you for your time!

Hi, everything looks ok but some more pics of the stamped PS letters inside the bag would be great.
The numbers often doesn't match so this is ok.
Also wait for @IntheOcean to look at this too.

Hi. Welcome to the Purse Forum Yes, from the photos you provided the bag looks perfectly fine, but like Elliespurse said, some photos are missing.

It's a beautiful bag, suede is quite delicate, yes, but in my opinion, if it's black, it's not that difficult to carry for it. Make sure that if you clean and/or condition the bag, you use products intended for suede.

Hi ladies! I found this PS1 medium for sale and the price seems too good to be true. I've requested more pictures from the seller. Any instant red flags from the 3 pictures available?

Hi! From those three photos, nothing screams fake. Will obviously need more photos to give you a definitive answer. What's it selling for and do you have a link to the listing?

Hi Would like to see photos of the back of the bag, the hangtag, and the hardware or the strap. But from the photos available, it looks authentic. Wait for Ellie to comment. If you decide to purchase, post proper pictures when you receive the bag.
