Proenza Schouler PS1 bag

[xhaute]

kyuis2004 & bangkokbaby:

Both your bags made me go ~ooh~! Very pretty colours indeed!

The hot pink looks so chic and the suede looks fantastic - although I can't wait to get my hands on the electric cobalt! I think PS has never done a pink like this before... it's definitely a keeper!

Lipstick red! A classic shade. You can never go wrong with this. And the hardware looks amazing - it's so shiny! I think this bag will age well.

Congrats to both of you!! Your bags are TDF

You guys: I just bought a bright red lipstick pouchette to join my black large ps1. Please tell me I didn't make a mistake. I kept thinking I shouldn't by the same bag in multiple sizes/colors, but couldn't help myself. It is so gorgeous and so well made.

Here she is... my new PS1 in Hot Pink Suede. This is my first purchase with Proenza Schouler so I'm really excited about using the bag. I really love the color!!! It's just stunning. In my sea of black bag, shoes, and clothes it's nice to have a pop of color. I've been deciding between this bag and givenchy nightingale but when I saw this color I think I made the right decision!!

Let me know what you ladies think of this bag, would love to hear some thoughts.

Love this! So pretty and bright.

You did NOT make a mistake. I now have three PS1s. A large midnight KA, medium Birch PS1, and my latest addition: A Saddle pochette. The pochette is the most functional clutch I have ever bought. It fits so much in there, you can use it as a day bag and transition into evening. By far, one of my most intelligent purchases to date! You will love it.

You definitely did not make a mistake. The PS1 is the most functional bag ever! I have a medium and am seriously considering a large.

TOTAL STUNNER!!! I love it - congratulations!! Also thinking of buying a PS1 Suede in this same color, or the grape color.

Just got my first PS1 pouch in tan! Everyone in this thread's bright colours are making me jealous though!!! Next time

Only problem, I literally have not worn it and have had it in my possession for about half an hour and the back screw has already fallen off!!! A bit disappointed tbh, but it's still so pretty...

Anyone have problems with this?
Who did you bring it to?
Is it fix-able if the store (Barneys) won't do anything?

Congrats on your first PS1! Bittersweet, though, with the screw falling out upon first wear.

Did you save the screw? Check out this thread on loose/missing screws:

I have to say, I'm very disappointed with the number of people on this forum who have reported loose or missing screws in PS bags. This should not happen! PS leather, design and fabrication all have the potential for the accessories line to be on par with other premier labels. Yet they continue to struggle with quality control. I've collected Balenciaga bags for years, and have been reading that forum for at least 3 - not sure that I've ever heard of anyone with a missing rivet.

Step it up, PS!!!

Barney's should send it back to PS for repair for you.

ANOTHER issue with quality control and screws.....:weird:. I don't know why I continue to be surprised....

As others have said, congrats on your purchase. It's a gorgeous bag, but unfortunately screws falling out of PS bags have become a common occurrence. You should be able to give it back to Barney's to send to PS to repair it. You can also try to contact PS directly (good luck with that!), but they are just going to tell you to send it to the place your purchased it. And make sure you KEEP the receipt. They have decided that they won't do any repairs at all unless you have the original proof of purchase. They are real winners!

Good luck with your repair!

I have the receipt and I have the screw!

My mum took the tags off since it was a birthday gift, I literally unwrapped it, tried it on, sat down to look at it and realised that the back screw had fallen off!

I've literally had the same Balenciaga bag for about 5 years, wearing it in all sorts of weather and no rivets have fallen off! The only thing that happened was once I was a bit too rough with the leather tassle and it snapped, but I had miraculously kept the extra one they give you! Maybe this is different because it's suede?

I'll keep you guys posted on how this process is...

It's so frustrating, this happened to me recently with a pair of boots from Rag&Bone- the zipper literally flew off both sides when I was zipping them up, so I had to spend another $200 getting that repaired and they were $600 as it was... UGH.
I hope Barneys can repair this for free, I hate spending so much on these items then spending even more getting them repaired after never wearing them out!!!!!

Nice colour! Is it hard maintaining suede? I'm thinking to get one between black leather or suede.

Thanks jini! This is my first suede bag so I'm not sure how the experience will turn out. I was skeptical about getting a suede bag but for some reason I was drawn to this color so I decided to give it a try.
