I just got my second PS1.
After a medium in Poppy-a large in Rip Tide-and I LOVE it!
I am pretty shure, that Proenza did something to make the bags a little more resistant to
water, dirt and colour transfer!
The Rip Tide has a light glossy finish-which the Poppy hadn't- so stains will not spoil the bag THAT easy! I tested it by dropping some water on the bag, which did NOT penetrate!!!!
Though the leather is not as soft as the Poppy's is-but I am sure that will
change after using it for a period of time.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a black ps1 large. and was planning to take it with me to my trip. the tag does say not to expose it to sunlight or the color may fade and where i'm going im sure it'll be quite exposed to the sun... LA, vegas... that said. would a couple full days of sun really do a lot of damage. or only in the long run?

Hi and Congrats on your PS1 :D

The tag is the same for all colors, sensitive to sun exposure or not. I think your black PS1 is the safest color and don't think you'll see much fading. I'd take it on the trip.

Thanks for the advice! I feel a lot better bringing it out with me... I also untied the knot on the strap and it's really wrinkled now. would that straighten itself out over time?

I think the strap will straighten over time but perhaps stretch the strap out between two books or similar when not carried would help.

Hi Ladies,

I've loved seeing all your photos! I recently bought my first Proenza, the PS1 medium in Veruca Salt. I'm absolutely in love with it! However just a few weeks after I started using it, I noticed a new mark/discoloration on it at the back. Would you all take a look at it and give me your expert advice? I want to know why/how it happened and how I may I fix it. And do I need to treat the rest of my bag so as to prevent from further marks appearing on it? Thank you very much!

Hi and Congrats on your PS1 :D

Is it possible to rub out the white part with a finger? I know PS doesn't recommend treating the bag but a spray (Apple Gardé, Collonil etc) helps as a layer between the leather and wear, spills etc.

Thank you very much for your advice! I tried to rub off the white bit but in vain :tdown: But I shall order the spray you mentioned and protect it.

PS1 Large Veruca Salt
PS1 Pouch Lagoon (at least I think it is lagoon?? I bought it pre-loved)

Wow! My two favorite colors! Absolutely love them, congrats!

I'm not sure if it's Lagoon or Teal (I actually have teal and it looks very similar, but then again pics on a monitor can be deceiving) - teal is a bit more greenish than Lagoon, but I have no clue if that size already existed when teal was done in 2011
