Authenticate This PROENZA SCHOULER

[Elliespurse]

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!

Hi, I have some doubts about this bag, especially the interior pic but it could be the camera. Better inside pics would be great.

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

Thanks, Ellie and IntheOcean! By the way, I was able to get my money back from the seller for that fake black bag so that's good!

I'd like to ask for your opinions on these ones as well, please. Apologies for the many queries today. Just trying to find my first Proenza!

This one is a Medium and the seller is highly rated and have sold a lot of higher end luxury bags so I have a good feeling about her but you still never know, I know! I've asked for more photos (especially of the tag) but so far these are what she has on her listing, was wondering if you could already tell if it's a fake (or not) based on these:




And this other one - heavily used but I'm interested because of the size (Large) and the price (was hoping to use for lugging around laptop, etc.). Again I've asked for more photos but wondering if you could already tell based on these:




Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!!

Both the red medium and the black large looks ok but more pics would be great to say exactly.
The red medium is from around 2014-2018 and the black large is from 2012-2013 with gunmetal hardware.

Great you got the money back!

I second Ellie's opinion, both the red and black bags are probably authentic, more pictures needed to make sure. Does the black one come with the strap?

Hi! Sorry for the delay in response - a lot has happened since yesterday! Haha. I was able to score x2 PS1s!!! Both sellers have guaranteed that if I have any doubts at all of their authenticity, I could return right away (in as is condition) and get my money back so that's a huge relief.

I was able to find a brand new, with all tags in, black PS1 XL (leather + nylon) - this was perfect because I was specifically looking for this as a work bag (for laptops, ipad, etc) as I tend to fill my bags and was worried that the full leather might be too heavy for me (I've had spine surgery). Can't believe I found it and it was such a steal so I hurried over to the seller's place right away to get it.

I also got the medium red one I've shared above. I'll be taking photos later to share here

Congrats! Both the black Leather and Nylon XL and the red Medium are authentic - the latter could be Mandarin Red from Spring Summer 2015. But I'm not sure. @Elliespurse, what do you think?

The XL is perfect for carrying laptop. I'd bought my XL a few years back specifically for this purpose, my bulky 15" laptop fit in there perfectly and the reinforced bottom helped with the weight distribution and overall durability of the bag. My only complaint was that it was rather heavy, but with yours being partially made of nylon, that shouldn't be much of a problem.

Congrats!
I agree with IntheOcean on both PS1:s and it looks like Mandarin Red color.

Thank you both! And thanks so much for your help - @IntheOcean and @Elliespurse !! I can't believe I got both for just less than $800 total. Really got lucky.

And you're right @IntheOcean - the XL is perfect for carrying laptop! At the most, I'd carry 2 macbooks + 1 ipad, so there's definitely lots of space for those and more. When empty, the bag is so light! I think the only one I'd like to add would be a Large in a nice black leather. They're so pretty!

Be careful, though - it's a slippery slope The Tiny and the Pouch sizes are cute and quite very practical, too!

I just bought this and was wondering if you could authenticate it and tell me what year it’s from? Thank you!
