Authenticate This PROENZA SCHOULER

[IntheOcean]

Thank you again! I also hope to wear it now, I initially wanted a navy one, but this caught me eye, maybe it will be more combinable with my spring/ summer wardrobe, but it definitelly challenges me to wear it now, too

Honestly, I don't think there are any true "winter" or "summer" colors, so wear what you like whatever the season. But also, adding a Navy PS1 to your collection would not be such a bad idea either

Hi again,
I just came across another preloved PS1, it looks newer than my last purchase (which I adore and have been constantly wearing since, thank you so much @IntotheOcean for checking its authenticity. This one is blue - not sure what blue exactly, but I see that the harware is different and the “clipses” of the belt don’t have the PS logo as the one I have. Is that the part of a new design or something’s off?

Hi! Yep, this is a newer model, from the Fall Winter 2017 collection, the color is called Lapis. Now, it's most likely authentic, but clear pictures of the logo and the other side of the label where the logo is printed would be necessary to for us to be sure.

Bear in mind that it's a Tiny, not a Medium, so it's a bit smaller than the bag you already have. But I think it's priced quite reasonably, so I totally understand the temptation! Also, it's not a PS1, but a PS1+ - you can tell them apart by the front flap. On the PS1+ it's one-piece with some decorative stitching. The PS1+ was a sort of "updated" version, not replacing the PS1.

Hi, and thanks again for all these info! I asked for the clear picture of the logo and the seller refused it! Said they think the pictures are just fine and that they were afraid to sell it to me… so, I am skipping this one, best for everyone.
I am eyeing another one in navy, but waiting for the price to drop a little, I will write here again. I really appreciate all the links you are putting, I have learned so much and I like knowing any possible information regarding the bag I am buying. It is a bit annoying not to be able to get all the info from the seller…:-/

I think you were right - I couldn't imagine why an honest seller would refuse to provide additional pictures, especially when the ones they posted initially most certainly are not "fine."

Hi, they both look ok but the second needs more closeup pics of the PS letters and the clasp.
Wait for @IntheOcean to look at this too.

Hi! The PS1 on Poshmark is authentic, the one on Mercari, most likely, is too, but like Ellie said, the pictures of the logo inside would be nice.

Thank you both so much!
And is the first one truly a medium? I asked for actual measurements but I haven't heard back and I don't want to miss out!

Yes, both of those are Mediums.

Yes, both of those are Mediums.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

You're welcome!

Dear authenticators, I recently bought this from a thrift shop and at first I thought it was authentic as the leather and construction seem good, however after looking at pictures from this thread and online I am no longer certain. Your expert opinions are greatly appreciated.

Hi! I'm sorry, but yes, it's fake.

Return this bag for a full refund, if you can. If they refuse or offer in-store credit, remind them that it's illegal to sell counterfeit items. If they ask for what's wrong with the bag: the overall shape, the reinforced bottom (that was only on the XL size, which this wasn't trying to be), the interior label, the hangtag, the zipper pulls, the hardware.
