Authenticate This PROENZA SCHOULER

[Elliespurse]

Hi all! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here, but I’m eyeing a few PS1s again. This one looks good to me, but would love a second set of eyes: (on eBay)

Hi, I agree it's authentic.

I really, really want to take home this proenza ps1 bag I found on ebay but I have no idea if it's authentic or not. Does it look real or fake? The seller's account seems a little suspicious.

Welcome to the Purse Forum! This bags is most likely authentic, although more front-facing close-up photos of the logos and the hangtag would be nice. If you buy this PS, just post your own pictures upon receiving it.

The seller's positive feedback seems to be mostly as a buyer and negative one as a seller, which is worrisome, yes. Perhaps you could ask them to package the bag properly and not squish it in a too small a box?

Hello,

I have been looking on the RealReal at Proenza Schouler bags, and this bag caught my attention. Has Proenza Schouler ever made a ps1 bag with a turnlock? Also, the strap hardware seems wrong.

Hi! You're absolutely correct in thinking that something is off there. If this Pouch is authentic, of which I am not sure due to the lack of pictures necessary for authentication, this is a Frankenbag. The strap is not made by PS, the hardware is wrong and the color and the texture of the leather don't match those of the bag. The lock has been replaced. The Real Real either didn't care to disclose all of those things and thus stated the bag's condition as 'Good' or, more likely, didn't know any better.

hello hope you can help me, i bought this preloved PS1 recently

Wondering if I could have your opinion on authenticity and what year (circa) or period it is from? I cannot find the tag which says it is microchipped

Hi! Don't purchase this, it's fake.

Not sure what the seller meant by saying the strap was replaced with an authentic one - the pictures aren't clear enough to tell if the strap is fake or not. But it sure would've been funny if they indeed bought a real PS1 strap with matching hardware and attached it to a fake bag.

Hi! Hope you're well. May I ask please why this is an immediate/obvious fake. I just want to know as it's very similar to the one I got (I will be posting photos soon as I get home). Thanks so much!

Hi lovely authenticators. Happy Hearts Day!

I was hoping to get your expert opinion on whether or not this bag is authentic.

It's a PS1 black with black hardware.
The seller just said dimensions are around H29cm x W34cm x 16.5cm so I'm assuming that's the Large size?

Below are the photos. Thanks in advance for taking the time!

Hi! I believe this bag is authentic. If this color is Smoke, then pinpointing the season/year will be difficult, because it's one of the permanent colors. However, if there's no fabric tag in the interior zipper pocket, then this would be one of the earlier models after the revamp in Fall/Winter 2013. So it could be from late 2013 or 2014. Wait for Ellie to comment - she's been doing this a lot longer than I have

Hi. I'm very sorry, but this bag is fake as well. I assume you've already purchased it, if so, then the seller should take it back and give you your money back, including shipping in both directions.

This is a very obvious fake. It's trying to be a Large, I guess, but the counterfeiters got everything wrong: the construction (it shouldn't have reinforced bottom, the flap is all wrong, etc.), the strap, the hardware, the lining, the fonts, the shape of the lag inside the zipper pocket.

Oh dear - thank you so much, IntheOcean! I'm trying to discuss with the seller now. She has a perfect rating and claims the bag was given to her by a friend and that she didn't know the brand well - just sold it because it wasn't her style. I do hope she doesn't make it difficult for me.

Really appreciate it!! I've been talking to another seller. She has shared with me a couple of photos. I have requested more but while waiting, do you think you'd be able to tell if this was an obvious fake too (I thought the tag was a bit sus given that it's printed so high up but I'm not sure!)? She said it's a Medium.

Thanks again so much!

Hope you'll be able to work it out with the seller.

This one could be authentic. No way to tell for sure from just two photos, though. However, if it is, then it's one of the first PS1 bags that came out, so it's from about 2008-2010. It also has black painted hardware which looks great when it's new, but is prone to chipping as you can already see in some places in these photos. That's why it was later changed to gunmetal. No way to tell for me if it's a Medium or a Large, will have to see the bag from the back.

If you decide to buy this, please post pictures that are front-facing and well-lit and Ellie and I will take a look.
