Authenticate This PROENZA SCHOULER

[IntheOcean]

You’re a legend!! Thanks for the extremely quick reply! I’d have loved more pics, but unfortunately it’s been a bit tricky to get them.

Any idea how I can definitely identify which season it’s from pls? Coral seems to have appeared in a couple of seasons and the seller can’t recall the year she got it

Thanks
The bag was made no later than Spring/Summer 2013 because it's an older design. They had the color Coral in Spring/Summer 2009, Spring/Summer 2011, and Autumn/Winter 2012. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/colors-through-the-seasons.706048/ I don't think it's from 2009 judging by the lack of the bottom seam on the interior tag. I would say it's from either 2011 or 2012.

amazing - now I really can’t wait. The leathers from those seasons seem so slouchy and lovely! I’m finally living out the PS dreams of my 20s, and these threads have been an super resource for me 🫶🏻 (I’d love to learn how the 2009 interior tag looks - I haven’t seen it on any of the reference threads yet)

Thank you!!!

Yes, the earlier PS1 bags were definitely more slouchy I hope you'll love your new bag, and we would like to see some more pictures when it arrives, if that's OK with you - Coral is such a beautiful and quite rare color.

Here are the comparison pictures between the older PS1 label and the newer one: note the seam on the bottom. I may be wrong on this, but I think they changed that in 2009. @Elliespurse has been on the forums for a lot longer than me and she'll know for sure.

Will be sure to share it once I get it - fingers crossed that the seller doesn’t flake!

Very grateful for your help, and that the both of you are still so active here; it’s so hard to find anyone who has an interest in the older models!

You're welcome. The PS1 is such a classic style, it's really nice to see that there are still people who carry it with joy even though it's not "in fashion" anymore.

Hi, would like to seek your help in authenticating this PS1 as i'm planning to buy it from a seller in Instagram. And would like to know what year it is made of.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi! I think it's authentic, although quite well-loved. @Elliespurse, do you agree? This appears to be the color Smoke which is one of the permanent colors. Definitely not newer than Spring/Summer 2013. Could you please add a picture or the hardware of the strap?The part where you can see the actual clasp, like in the picture next to last, but from another angle. There is a small feature there that might help us date it.

Thanks a lot @IntheOcean, I really appreciate your reply. Here are the other picture of the clasp.

Thanks. There's this one feature on the clasp that was present right before the 2013 redesign, but this bag doesn't have it. So it didn't really narrow it down, sorry. The bag was made somewhere between 2008-2012, no way to narrow it down.

Thanks @IntheOcean, I really do appreciate sharing your knowledge and expertise for us which is new in PS1. This is my first Proenza and even though it is already well loved, I'm happy with it 😊 thanks again 😊

You're welcome! It's a great bag, and Smoke goes with almost everything.

sparks a lot of joy in this geriatric millennial’s heart… Unfortunately the seller flaked on me (again) so maybe I won’t be living out my coral PS 1 dreams afterall 😭

Hi lovely authenticators, it's me again, apparently I am a Proenza addict haha.

I am considering the following bag and would love your help!

Item Name (if you know it): Proenza Schouler Hex bag
Link (if available): https://secondnaturebtq.com/products/studded-hex-bag?_pos=4&_sid=e0a1c4685&_ss=r
Seller: Second Nature Resale Shop
Comments: I not sure what the name of the studded model is, but I'm seeing reference photos of it in the pre-fall 2017 collection. I've also attached a photo from Vogue of that collection

Thank you!!!
