Hello! Can I get your thoughts on the authenticity of these 2 listings? Thank you in advance!
Item: Proenza Schouler PS1
Listing number: PRO139759
Seller: The Real Real
Link: https://www.therealreal.com/product...-bags/proenza-schouler-suede-handle-bag-mlje2

Hi, I can only see small pics but the hang tag looks broken and I can't see a strap in the pics.
It's an early PS1.

Listing number: 44972409
Seller: Dani through Vestiaire Collective

This looks ok and I say it's authentic.
It's also an early PS1.

This could be ok but we would like to see pics of the stamped PS letters and the logo on the fold-over clasp.
The hang-tag looks like it's missing (common on older PS1s).
It's also an older PS1.

Hi. I agree with Ellie, both of these and the third one in another listing are probably authentic. The suede one is a Large and the other two are Mediums. They're all quite worn, I would say, and I think you definitely should look for some other options. :yes:

Hi, I'm a total newbie here. I recently bought a Proenza bag on the Real Real, and until I found this site, never realized there were fakes in existence. Would you guys mind checking these photos to see if you think it's authentic? It was item number PRO138675, URL https://www.therealreal.com/product...ags/proenza-schouler-leather-handle-bag-mbfq3 I have attached my photos below of the details
Thank you for any assistance,
CC
Hi, welcome to the forums! Yep, these were faked quite a lot about a decade ago. And TRR, sadly, has rather poor reputation when it comes to selling fakes on their platform. But everything looks fine, you have an authentic Medium PS1. @Elliespurse, do you agree? :smile:

Hi, I am new here as well. I recently got one PS1 from VC. I did not go through authenticity they offer, but wonder if there is any code that I should check myself? Or could you tell the authenticity from photos? I am not sure about the color, the seller called it baby pink - do you know what year is that color from? Many thanks!

Hi, welcome to the Purse Forum! The bag in the pictures in an older model, they didn't have serial numbers back then. But I think it's authentic. I'm not sure if the pictures you posted were taken by you or the seller? They really should be straight-up. And pictures of the strap hardware and the hangtag would be nice. But from I can see, the bag is authentic, it's a Medium PS1 and the color appears to be Nude from Spring Summer 2012. See here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/colors-through-the-seasons.706048/ and here: https://lagarconne.com/products/bpsh2nps12-proenza-schouler-ps1-medium-bag They also offered this bag in Nude in 2009, but that's not it. @Elliespurse, what do you think?

Hi, and thank you so much!
Well, the seller said the bag is some 5years old, but I doubted that because I had an eye on PS web page and did not come across this color. It does look quite preserved except that leather is very soft so I assumed it was a bit older when I received it.
I also got its dustbag and a small certificate, but a generic one as it doesn’t have any code or specifics about the bag.
Pictures are mine, there ia a strap. I am posting some more photos so you can see the strap and hardware.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your reply with these info - I love knowing the year it was produces as I am into vintage bags:smile:

Definitely not 5 years old, there was a redesign in Fall Winter 2013 - they changed the logo and some elements of the bag. This one was made before then. Thanks for the additional photos, everything looks fine. Congrats on your purchase :smile: The PS1 is a workhorse and I hope you'll wear it and enjoy it for years to come.

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:smile:
