PS1 Suede – Fading issues ?

[Pollie-Jean]

I'm interested in this color and am concerned that it might fade quickly .
What experiences have you had with your Suede PS1 so far?

Hi. My Navy suede PS1 from around 10 years ago did indeed get some discoloration with use. Also, I found that, at least as far as the size Medium is concerned, suede PS1s aren't the most solidly constructed bags. Some of the stitching became loose with time and the bag lost shape quite noticeably. The straps and the area around the lock suffered the most color fading. The back of the bag, too. It's more noticeable in direct lighting. Suede cleaning foam and brushing afterwards did help, but only a little. Perhaps the newer model will fare better?

Thanks @IntheOcean !
I'm holding off on buying the burgundy PS1 because I was already worried about something like that ...
I don't want to spend almost €2000 on this

I totally understand. You could wait for the next sale, some bags get as much as 50% off. Also, check the preloved market - Proenza Schouler bags don't hold their value all that well and I've seen some bags on eBay that are completely new with tags attached and hardware wrapped selling for about a third of their sticker price.
