Hi, I'm not familiar with this bag but it looks like something PS could do with PS style and hardware.
Perhaps @IntheOcean has some input.

Perhaps @IntheOcean has some input.
Hi. I too am not that familiar with the Hex bag. There's no picture of the "Made in..." stamp. From what I can see, nothing screams fake. But that's as much input as I can provide, I'm afraid.
ETA: if the website it's listed on offers any authentication services, don't bother - they're selling this nasty and very obvious fake: https://secondnaturebtq.com/product...08281&pr_ref_pid=7973954420825&pr_seq=uniform
Ohhh thank you! That doesn't make me feel good, I think I'll pass. Thank you very much!
Hello again wonderful @Elliespurse and @IntheOcean, it’s me again, with two more PS for authentication, since my last coral piece didn’t go through.
This is the first of the two that I recently scored. This reddish brown medium came in really good condition, but the seller can’t recall which year she got it.
It feels very much like my first pre loved PS, and I’d be surprised if it was a rep (and gutted as well).
Could I borrow your expert eyes to see if this is the real deal please, and if so, any sense of what colour it may be? I’m guessing Saddle, but can’t be too sure. Picture taken in natural light.
Thank you as always!

Hi! This one appears to be authentic, made some time before Autumn/Winter 2013. The color is definitely not Saddle, though. Might be Tangerine: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...satchel-reference-thread.673199/post-20298105 or Red: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...satchel-reference-thread.673199/post-20298117 or Bright Red: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...satchel-reference-thread.673199/post-21661645 or Lipstick: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...satchel-reference-thread.673199/post-22704678 or Paprika: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...satchel-reference-thread.673199/post-23487012
ETA: probably 2012-2013
Here's a list if threads with the word "red" in the title, perhaps there are some pictures that would be useful. https://forum.purseblog.com/search/...1&c[nodes][0]=257&c[title_only]=1&o=relevance

Actually, @Elliespurse, do you remember telling me that thing with the strap hardware? In one of the pictures I think I can see that the clasp has a notch, so it must be 2012 or 2013?
So that leaves us with Paprika or perhaps Deep Coral, but I feel like the leather inside of the bag regained its original color a lot better than the leather on the outside. And Deep Coral is much more pink-toned than that.
The both of you are truly goddesses of PS!!! I combed through the reference pages so many times but it never crossed my mind that it could be paprika. I just cross referenced a couple more paprika listings, and it does look identical!!!
The leather inside and outside seems largely similar in colour - feels almost like the owner hardly used it. Adding a picture showing both the inside and outside here for your reference.
I’d have loved a deep coral or a neon yellow, but I think 2 mediums are my limit (for now)
Looking forward to sharing my Tiny when I get it tomorrow!

Thw second one for authentication pls @IntheOcean and @Elliespurse
Got this Tiny at around US$100, with dustbag and a paper bag, so I’m hoping it’s real. The hangtag has mismatched hardware colour which is a bit of a red flag for me, but I’ve always wanted to try a tiny, so couldn’t pass up this deal. That said, I have come across many listings where the hardware of the hand tag was a different colour from, the bag’s. Could this be an indicator whether the bag’s hardware is coated or not?
If auth, I’m guesssing this is a more recent model. The leather isn’t as nice, and the hardware doesn’t feel as premium - very scientific, I know. 😆
Grateful for your thoughts on this one! Thank you!

Hi, could you please add a few more pictures: the back of the bag, the strap hardware, and a clear picture of the lining? Thanks.

Wait for @Elliespurse to comment, but to me, everything looks fine. Authentic Smoke Tiny from 2013, when they had the redesign, hence the main logo being old, while the other logos and the lining are new.Here you go!
