So I am currently obsessed with leather bags. All started with the Mahina, then on to Bal.
I am considering getting a Bal work then stumbled on the PS1Keep all.

Does anyone have both (comparison pics would be great) or had one or the other, n what r ur thoughts?
I don't have a store close by that carry both brand.

Thank a million!

I think there might be some comparison pics in one of the threads in the PS forum - I have neither but a keepall on the way and so can't really answer your questions, I am sorry

Small keepall. All the way :tup:

II have one and want more. I've owned many works and do love them but something about the way Bal handles get totally trashed over time has turned me off a bit. If you already own a bal bag, get the PS1!


I have some pics in my phone.. I'll upload.

I only have a small keep-all because most Bals are too "moto" and too unstructured for me. I love my keep-all to pieces, but I have to admit that the brass clasp started showing signs of wear (slightly noticeable grayish line through the middle, though it's not chipping or anything) pretty fast.

ETA: Rain/snow surprised me more than once when carrying the (unprotected) keep-all and there are no stains on it whatsoever. The color stayed completely the same, too.

But: I just remembered that I noticed a small crack on the sealant (on the side of the flap) yesterday and was really sad about that. I've only had it for a month, but it has become my new favorite (i.e. I've been carrying it almost every day for a month).

The small keep all is the same size as bals work IMO. Don't let the "small" trick you it's huge! I'd go for the PS KA over the work. I only have one work which I love but don't use as much as I should I think it's because i can't fit it over my shoulder I can only carry it in the nook of my arm or by the handle. The KA has a longer drop length for the handles are much more generous and can even fit over a winter coat.

I am pretty petite. I can even get the City handles to fit over my shoulder but I really don't think I like the "fit." The PS KA has a bit more struture and more room for the arm. Besides, I think it is a bit different than the work which is pretty much same as the city... just larger...

I am so torn between structure and no structure. Bal is so pretty when carried but I get a little worried when I set it down that so much of the leather surface is touching the public surface because it all puddles. I love my LV but having to worry about the rain on Vanchetta is a pain. I have been strickly using my Bal for the last week because of rain forcast.

I think, PS1 Small KA is looking good. I am just wondering if I want to go LARGE. I am only 5" 2' so it might just overwhelming.
