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. :smile1:
those are interesting! I would love to see a pic with it on the bag/modeling, and thank you for sharing!
 
Hi ladies

I bought the same curry from that website. Got mine last wednesday. Sadly mine was defect in couple spots. Still trying to deal with them since they are sold out and not possible to exchange. From the price point, Its really good. Couldn't find any better offer. Congrats if u decide to keep it.

Actually there are few defects too. I try to email them but they din not reply. Are you returning the bag?

i was thinking to exchange but they replied that its sold out. I guess i will keep it then. I can't even buy second hand ps1 in this mint condition. just a couple of defects, those will happen eventually. Plus i've been looking for brownish bag, this curry will do :p
 
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.

No problem! Hope these help! Sorry for the terrible quality on the modeling shot!

I just purchased a Ps1 medium in smoke. I absolutely love it! But I am a little leery on the strap. I removed the knot so it can hang lower. I don't intend on carrying too much in it (wallet,phone,keys, makeup bag). Can you experts give me some insight on how the strap has held up? Thanks and happy holidays!

I carry the large and haven't had any real problems. The clasps on the long strap have come undone a few times but it has always been while I was getting in and out of the car so I figure that I bumped/hit them just right...so I try to be extra careful. I normally don't carry a lot of stuff so weight wouldn't be an issue for my strap. Like you, I removed the knot...it made the strap way too short.

Congrats on your new PS1!
 
I have been eyeing the PS1 medium for awhile but hesitated to pull the trigger on the black because of its gunmetal hardware issues of seeing small visible scratches. I am now intrigued by the PS1 in Pepe. if you have seen it in person, it would be great if you can describe the color. It's looks like a brown with a bit a gray tint, but I can't tell for sure in the pictures. Would it go with a war robe that has lots of gray and black neutrals? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
I just purchased a PS 1 in Saddle and Proenza Blue. Not sure which color I should keep.

Have you made a decision?
IMO, the Proenza Blue color is trendy and might take a bit more work to maintain the vibrant color since you don't want it to fade. The Saddle is classic and based on forum photos the color seems to deepen with age. If you are looking for a PS1 that you will have for the long haul then I would keep the Saddle.

I very briefly owned a PS1 in Cobalt which I believe is similar to Proenza Blue. The color was stunning...so different from anything I have ever owned. However the fold-over flap was just a bit lighter than the rest of the bag and mismatched panels are a major deal breaker for me...so I sold it. It sure was pretty though. :girlsigh:
