Proenza Schouler PS1 bag

[bh4me]

Very excited! Just got these… PS1 Tiny in Syrah and New Blue I’ve been wanting a red tiny for a while. I have a red in medium size but it’s too big for my needs at the moment... still love it though. Finally, so happy when I saw this red on sale. Yay

Thanks for posting these. I was looking at the large Arch shoulder bag and was wondering about the color “Syrah”.

Would you mind snapping a photo of the bag when it comes? Have my eye on this but not sure how the colour looks in real life

I made a brief video review of the PS1 in Orion blue here:



It's a bit of a chameleon depending on the lighting but mostly looks like cyan with cool undertones.

In the video, it definitely looked more blue than green. I'd say, Orion Blue is a chameleon color.

Hello all! I’m starting a new masters degree and I was thinking to buy the PS1 as my school bag . What do you think?
For reference I’m in my early 40s, 1.70 (5’7?) and not exactly slender …

What size are you considering?

People have mentioned using the large as a school bag but I always wondered if the clasps could really hold all that weight. My first thought of a PS1 for use as a school bag is an XL or tote.

It’s been a long time since I have been in school. Do you even carry books and notebooks…or just a laptop?

Hahaha, good question! I it’s been also a long time… I don’t really think I will be carrying books though. Probably a notebook and a portable laptop, like a MacBook Air? I’m considering the medium…

I'd recommend going with a backpack option if you plan on carrying anything heavy like a laptop. Add a bottle of water, notebooks, etc., and it's all going to add up weight-wise.

Yes a backpack is a very practical and probably the most wise choice, although I’m not really a fan

You could search the forum. I found this thread pretty quick:

PS1 Size Macbook Air 13"?

Hey everyone, I'm debating between the medium and large sizes for the PS1, which I'll use primarily for work (carrying a Macbook Air 13" and a couple documents). The specs say that it'd just about fit the laptop with 0.2 - 0.5" to spare. Wondering if anyone has used their PS1 for their laptop...

The PS1 tote was never real popular but would make a great school bag.


Honestly, if you love the regular PS1 (and I do too) then I would go for it. All the compartments make it a perfect school/work bag. You will just need to pick between the medium and large…and a color.

Keep us updated because I would love to know what you decide.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don’t want to go the preloved route, too much hassle for me, living in Switzerland…
It’s a great bag though!

Hi all, writing to provide an update/warning to the folks here: my Proenza Schouler return still has not been issued to me. Bear in mind this is a return I started before Christmas, and Proenza Schouler is in possession of the returned item. I feel like I have been extremely patient and understanding but if I don't get my money back next week, I'll be forced to issue a chargeback on my credit card. Extremely disappointed in all of this, and I will never be shopping with the company again based on this experience.

I'm glad that PS refunded the money to you, that must have been a very nice surprise! Yes, I keep browsing the sale; the Tiny PS1 bags have caught my eye, but I really had my heart set on the Orion Blue colorway. Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.



Thank you! I suspect staffing issues plus the holidays may have held things up a bit. Still, it's very surprising for a high-end brand.

Wow, that's really disappointing and, frankly, unacceptable. I think you're absolutely within your rights to issue a chargeback.

It has been a while. That’s terrible and unacceptable.

Thank you both! Proenza Schouler customer service has become completely non-responsive over email. Every time I speak to their reps over the phone, I'm told that they can't do anything without say-so from the head office in Italy. If I can't get a resolution tomorrow, then I'm going to have to go through my credit card to issue a chargeback, which I've never had to do in all my years of credit card ownership. What a headache... Plus, I've been waiting to buy my Christmas present replacement after I receive the refund. At this point, it's going to turn into a Presidents' Day present!
