You're welcome!Thank you to you both for this info! Now to make some decisions here
Hi, welcome to the Purse Forum
Wait for Ellie to comment, but I believe it's authentic. Large PS1, the color could be Saddle, but I'm not 100% sure. Is the hangtag missing? I don't see one in the photos.
Hi!Hi, welcome to the Purse Forum
Thank you so much for the warm welcome!
The hang tag is indeed missing. I bought it second hand, so I’m assuming it got lost along the way (largely because that’s something I would absolutely do lol)
Hi!
Thank you so much! I got it from The RealReal for an embarrassingly low price, so I was prepared for this to go either way.
I’m so happy it’s legit! I’ve been in love with the PS1 since I first handled one as a wee baby Junior Copywriter at a luxury department store way back in the PS1 heyday. A recent near miss with a rainstorm, no umbrella, and my work laptop in a canvas tote made me decide it was officially time for a Grownup Lady Bag™️.
I’m so very in love with this bag, and she needs a name! Feel free to offer any suggestions lol
(And get ready to see me here again soon, I feel like she’s gonna get lonely without friends in other sizes and colors!!)
Congrats on your purchase!
The PS1 is a wonderful bag - beautiful but also very functional. So I completely understand how you feel. It's a slippery slope! 
I don't really have any suggestions for the name, but I hope you'll stick around - this forum doesn't see much action these days.Hi all! The PS1 is probably the first bag I really fell in love with way back in the day. Thanks to the Real Real, I've been scooping up old styles I used to covet, and finally bit the bullet on a PS1 medium. It's kind of a bummer these bags haven't retained their value...but it's good for me lol. Would anyone be able to authenticate this? It seems to be pretty good quality material and construction, but I imagine there were pretty good dupes in its heyday. Thanks!
Welcome to the Purse Forum!
Wait for Ellie to comment, but this looks perfectly authentic to me. I think it's from Fall Winter 2014 and the color is Grape Jam: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...satchel-reference-thread.673199/post-26759195 Congrats!TRR has some good deals, indeed. As long as you can authenticate everything you buy from them, because their 'authenticators' can sometimes be random employees spening a total of five minutes on the item.
OK, now I'm not so sure about the color! It's from Fall Winter 2013 to Spring Summer 2015 because of the gold hardware. Could be Crimson: https://poshmark.com/listing/Proenza-Schouler-crimson-PS1-medium-satchel-5f5691158d9be9205b3dc58e Actually, I think we should be able to see the real color, the one that the bag used to be when it was new, between the two layers of leather on the flap.
ETA: Actually, it could very well be Burgundy from Spring Summer 2015. The color was repeated a couple of times. This should be from 2015: https://www.yoogiscloset.com/11216947-proenza-schouler-burgundy-leather-medium-ps1-satchel-bag.html

Hi Everyone
I was hoping to get some insight on the year of the this PS1 I found online at TRR. I can't find much detail online on these half suede editions. Is only the top flap suede? I know the pictures are not the greatest, but do you see any red flags concerning authenticity? Thanks very much.
