Hi everyone! First time poster so please forgive me if I make any forum faux pas!
Anyhow, I recently purchased the gorgeous Concrete Grey PS 1 Medium after seeing it once in a store two years ago and near weeping at its price. I fell in love at first sight and always had the bag in the back of my mind and found it recently way discounted online and pulled the trigger. When it came, it was every bit as gorgeous as I remembered and there were no regrets, with one small exception... as discussed here, it's not exactly a crossbody. Which is exactly what I'd hoped for.
Yes, I purchased a bag without trying it on but in my defense, when I saw it originally and saw the price, I wasn't interested in trying it on because I was running from it for fear of ruining it and having to purchase (not that Nordstrom would make you do that but you know). Also, I'd seen it on other people and thought they were wearing it crossbody so I was confused.. but my bad and now it's not returnable, and even though I think I could talk the retailer into returning, I love it so much I want to make it work.
I know it's been discussed here because I did come across a few posts about it not being a true crossbody but I wanted to see if anyone has come up with a solid solution? I've had a few ideas but am struggling with the execution, including:
1. Buying an alternate strap that's like cotton or nylon and trying to pull off the "casual strap, nice leather bag" look I've seen and loved.
2. Buying a chain that's like 6-9 inches long and supplementing the current strap.
3. Calling PS and seeing if they have alternate strap lengths as I've seen online and if I could order a spare.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
If not, here are my issues with the above:
With 3, no one from the company will call me back
With 1 and 2, I struggle with matching the gold color exactly... it's a pretty specific color and while I'm going to try at stores, I was wondering if anyone has any brilliant chain suppliers?
Please help! Thanks!!!

Just kidding, now I see all the comments on the last page about this! I searched the forum, which was not as helpful.
I'm looking at buckle guy.. what color matches? Anyhow who has ordered and matched gold?
Hi, it's the longest strap that had the knot, just fold it in the middle and loop it round it self (pic below). I'm not sure if it helps?
Hi ladies
Keep or return? How's the color?
It's curry color btw,

Hello again!
Since I inquired about lengthening my PS1's strap and found a lot of great informatiton ehre, I felt I should provide a follow up. So after placing a large order from the Buckle Guy where nothing matched perfectly with the gold hardware on the bag, I came across these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01654NZQA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
And they arrived two days ago and are PERFECT. They match the color of the hardware perfectly, the look and style is consistent with the rest of the bag, and I can't believe how perfect they are. I ordered two 3.42" long hooks and they added just enough length to use the bag crossbody without looking like it's too short (I'm 5'6). Admittedly, I'd like it if they were a smidge longer, and thought about ordering two more hooks but decided against it.
Anyhow, I'm very happy with my purchase and wanted to share for others who were looking for the right hooks.

Thanks Ellie! I managed to somewhat knot it like your picture. [emoji6]

Thanks for the tip! Do you mind sharing a picture of your bag with the clips? Maybe mod shots??
glad you found a great solution that works for you! I love my ps1 pouch and would like a medium ps1 but the short strap has kept me from making the leap this far.
Different lights different color, not so true to color on picture, its true curry color but I got it really cheap from a sale.
I love the color. It's a great neutral but stands out because it's different. And it looks great with the hardware.
