Introducing my new PS1 medium in black!

I must admit though that I was a little surprised upon opening the box. Got some reason I imagined that the leather would be smooshier/less structured than it currently is... Is the medium size almost too boxy/rectangular for someone my height? (I'm 5'2"). Does the bag become less structured and fit closer to the body over time? TIA!! :)

Gorgeous bag. I had the same bag and mine was quite slouchy. You may just need to break it in from use and putting more items in it.

Mine was like that too at the beginning, but the more I use it it becomes slouchier. The medium looks beautiful on you. :cool: I have the large size and I'm an inch shorter than you.

My large and my medium both were like that right out of the box. It doesn't take long, if used often, for them to get that slouchy look and feel!

Thank you all for your response and reassurance! I know some people prefer the PS1 to be very structured, but I personally love the slouchy look. I'm very excited to use my bag often so that it gets that way faster! :D

Mine softened with use and age and also darkened as well. It's got a very smooth buttery feel to it now and I like it even more than when I first got it!

I've never had a problem with it :)!

Only caution is that it can stain with rain but mine is the saddle color, which is probably more prone to staining.

Congrats on a classic color and it looks great on you! Over time especially when you use the shoulder strap, it definitely gets less structured and slouchy.:smile1:

Obsessed with that color! How did you happen to find it?!

I'm from NY and I bought PS Courier from Barney's in Arizona during the sales last winter. This bag was a leftover they found in the back that was actually put in a different designers dust bag. It was in perfect condition, tags still attached and my SA remembered me and told me about it. Of course I jumped on it because it was deeply discounted. The color was from 2012 I think

I have a medium PS1 I am thinking of taking to Europe (Paris and London) during my one-week vacation this summer. So far I love my PS1 as an everyday bag, and I know it could fit everything I need for daily excursions, but my worry is that because it doesn't zip shut I might be a target for pick-pocketers...
I don't plan on dressing like a tourist, but I will be visiting touristy areas (Louvre, Montmartre, Tour Eiffel, Notre Dame, etc) and probably taking the metro at some point. Has anyone traveled to Paris with their PS1? I want it to travel with me because I love it dearly, but would leave it at home if it's too much of a risk. I could say I will be hyper aware of my surroundings all the time but I know that is not always the case.
What do you all think? Any advice would be really appreciated!
