Hello! I just bought a new PS1 for a great deal (65% off!) on the Proenza Schouler website, it is a classic Large in Dark Espresso. It just came in today, it's beautiful, but I noticed some changes regarding the other model.
I used to have a black one a few years ago which was very sloughy and soft. The one I got right now is much more structured, the leather looks a bit thicker and the lining also changed. I was wondering if the bag will still acquire the famous PS1 pulling tab look, which is what I personally prefer. Anyone has any intel? Thanks in advance. ;)
Congrats on your new Large PS1 with such a great discount! Would you like to share some pictures? The PS subforum has been rather quiet lately. Dark Espresso is such a beautiful color, IMO.

It will get softer with use, yes. It's made of lambskin which is quite prone to slouching (which I also find very appealing :yes:)
 
My large Dark Espresso will arrive on Monday. I’m not a fan of the medium Dark Espresso…shiny silver hardware, plain lining, and thick/stiff leather. I was really hoping that the large would look like it does on the website. :frown:

The Medium is the updated version, more minimalistic, while the Large is the old one. The lambskin leather will soften up with use. When the bag arrives, could you please let us know if the leather on the Large is more supple than on the Medium, and if the Medium is more structured overall? I haven't handled the updated version yet and I'm curious. :)

I received the large Dark Espresso PS1. It is exactly like the medium on the website…but the color is darker (dark brown/black). The leather does seem thicker and the bag more structured than other new PS1s that I have purchased. I haven’t decided if I’m keeping it or sending it off to consignment so I haven’t removed the packaging or bothered with pics. :sad:

Sorry it wasn't what you'd expected. :(

do you think they are discontinuing their ps1 bags? Couldn't seem to find it in their newly launched bags on the site anymore

Hi
The hardware of your Large Ps1 Espresso is vintage look silver or shiny silver? Thank you
 
I just bought the medium Dark Espresso to replace my Fleur De Lys that was stolen last year. Honestly wondering if I should have just gotten a preloved old style PS1, I like the more streamlined look of the new style but I didn't realize just how stiff it would be. Plus, I didn't know they removed the magnetic closure strap in the main compartment, sometimes I found that easier to use than the clasp closure. Has anyone used the newer style long enough for it to soften? If so, does it reach anywhere near the same level of drape and comfort as the older style? I really miss how worn in and comfortable my Fleur De Lys was and I miss it so much.

I do really like the Dark Espresso color though. It's very rich and classic, definitely a contrast to the bright magenta of my previous one. I was waffling between Espresso and the lighter saddle color (which I forgot the name of already), but that one was partially suede and PNW weather plus my toddler would definitely not be kind to it. I'll post a pic later when there's daylight!
