Here's a few Comparison Pics with my Medium PS1 and a Bal City and a Bal Velo.
So pretty I love them all
I am taking my first steps into Proenza Schouler land. Being that the PS1 bag will be the most expensive I've ever bought, I feel pressured to "get it right." I'm going for either a bright color or a neutral like smoke or military, but the color isn't what I feel pressure about. It's moreso the size, I don't know whether I should get the medium or the large.
For the most part, I plan to carry an iPad (in an Otterbox protective case), a fairly large sketchbook (probably 12x10), two iPhones, a couple of pouches/cosmetic bags, and a continental wallet. I know that the large will suit me well on weekends if I'm carrying a camera or water bottle, but would the medium suit all of my otherwise listed essentials. I prefer the aesthetic of the medium, but would get the large if it handled my essentials better.
Some of the "what's in my bag" shots are kind of ambiguous and I think more than anything I need a little reassurance to ease my anxiety about making such a major purchase. Plus I don't have anywhere near me to try the bags in person. Thank you in advance!

Hi, that's a nice dilemma! I think the medium could be a little small because of the sketchbook, an A4 document is about 12x10.5" and it could be tight fit closing the flap. I think the medium could be the right size with a smaller sketchbook though.
I totally overestimated the size of my sketchbook, I actually measured it this morning and it's closer to 10.5x9" so that definitely sounds like the medium could be the right size. Thank you for your help, I'm feeling way more comfortable now and I figure if I order the medium and it doesn't work, I can just return it and get the large.
Hi,
I'm new to this thread and was wondering if anyone is aware whether the black hardware is still having the chipping issue like it used to. I know Barneys started selling it again as a limited edition, but I'm not sure if they made any changes to it yet =/

Hi Pao9, I was just wondering if you ever got your bag professionally cleaned? I have the same problem with a bag that I bought off Ebay and I just sent it in to Lovin My Bags and am looking forward to seeing if she can get rid of all the dark marks!
Hi! No I took it to my cobbler and since the color is raspberry and almost neon he said he couldn't match it, only dye it. If it was a more neutral color maybe! What color is yours? I bought some water shield and it helped a little but I just figured that I'm not going to stress over it and think it gives it character! Lol! I have a skin condition that my own body attacks itself thinking its a scar so it looks like my legs got a mild burn! If I can get over the spots in my legs and wear a dress I can wear the bag! Lol!!!!
I took my medium in raspberry suede out today:
Oh I love it so much! How's the suede holding up? Planning on getting the exact same bag myself

I actually think it's holding up very good. It's getting a little darker around the edges - especially on the backside. But it's nothing serious at all.
