I'm 5'6" and the medium is way too short to wear crossbody IMO. I think you could maybe swing it if you were in the 5' range, but honestly, you'd need a large if you want to wear it that way. HTH!
Here is a pic I took of me trying mine crossbody for reference:

I had it on the longest hole and honestly there was not much room left on the strap. If you look at my shoulder, you can kinda see that. I suppose you may be able to punch one more hole, but I'd be afraid of it being to close to the end of the strap and putting too much stress on it, kwim?
Oh, yeah! Definitely see that now. Not sure if it would be worth it for an inch drop. I'm torn because I like the proportions of the medium bag and the raspberry doesn't come in large.
I have to think about it---but I think I'll end up with the medium in raspberry.
Thanks again!
What color is your bag in the picture?

Mine is Orchid. I was very disappointed that it could not be worn this way...and yes I prefer the proportions of the medium as well, but I think ultimately the large would be ideal for xbody wear. Good Luck!!
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.
I just got the PS1 in raspberry suede and I love the look of the PS1 in suede! Congrats on yours im sure you're as happy as I have been
Thanks bangkokbaby! The only thing I'm concerned about is the rubbing on the back but I have been pretty happy so far. Did you treat your bag with any water repellant spray?I just got the PS1 in raspberry suede and I love the look of the PS1 in suede! Congrats on yours im sure you're as happy as I have been
No, but do you think I should? Have you done this? I was worried it might ruin the suede...

Depends on what kind of spray you use. Some water repellant sprays such as apple garde will stiffen the suede. I use Meltonian spray on all my suede luxury items and it doesn't affect the texture of the suede.
Hi ladies! First PS post...
I was in NYC this week and was determined to get a PS1 medium satchel in smoke from BG. The med was a little smaller than I had envisioned and I eventually got the large. Now I'm having some second thoughts. Is this too big on me? I'm 5-2 and tend to carry large bags. My faves are my miu miu coffer and bal city.

In general, I like the proportions of the Medium better on pretty much everyone. In real life, though, the Large is WAY more practical. I've gotten used to the relative large-ness of the Large and now use mine on weekends, cross body, as well as during the week as a work bag. The PS1 is not the most generously cut bag so anyone that carries more than a small wallet is simply going to need a Large for everyday. So I would encourage you to stick with the Large and allow yourself some time to get used to it. JMHO....
I am your height and have both sizes. I find the Large more practical and comfortable to wear. Like you, I usually carry larger size bags and although the Medium PS1 has enough space for my daily needs, I have to put everything in just the right place for it all to fit. So, when I take out my wallet for example, I can't just quickly toss it back in the bag when I'm finished using it. I have to carefully place it where it belongs, and that can be kind of annoying when I'm in a hurry.
I find the Medium feels smaller than a City.
The Large Smoke looks great on you!!
When I first got my medium PS1, it seemed small as well, but it "bottomed out" as I say, and appears a tad larger now that I've worn it in. I think it's a perfectly proportioned bag. I'm 5'11 for reference. My mom, who is maybe 5'7, has a large, and I just adore it on her. I like big bags on anyone, small or tall. It looks great on you, and if you love bigger bags, stick with it. You love them for a reason, and it might better suit your needs. I do love the medium on you though, it "fits" you perfectly, and doesn't appear small at all. Maybe that can be your next purchase!
