I have been eyeing the Palm Springs Mini for years, but I decided to go with the bumbag instead. I loved the bumbag and wore it everyday for +2 years but then overnight got tired of wearing a bag so close to my chest.

Now the PSM is back on my radar, to “replace” the everyday, carefree use of bumbag. But something is holding me back from purchasing.

Is it a style that is too old now?
Is it better for younger women (I’m 37)?
Is it worth todays retail price? (Only buying new from store).
Will it be a favourite bag?

I’m way older than 37 (enjoy your youth!) and my PSM gets a ton of love from me! One of my favorite bags for sure! Age means nothing when it comes to a bag you love and enjoy.

I bought mine a couple of years ago but to me it’s worth the price because I use it a lot. It’s small but mighty, holding more than expected.

Maybe try in store (or order online) to see if you feel comfortable with the style? I know backpack style isn’t for everyone so it might be worth it to get an idea before committing to it.

I’m a similar age to you and I love this bag. Wear what makes you happy I say! I’ve owned it coming to two years and I’ve used it so much in this time - every trip I’ve taken since and most weekends. For me, it was definately worth the money as I’ve gotten good wear out of mines and no plans to replace it just yet. It fits more than you think which is a bonus.

Good luck in your decision!

I'm 56 and bought the PSM in December and have been using it pretty much non-stop ever since. I switched out of it into my Goyard Artois tote for a couple of days because I needed a bigger bag but went right back into the PSM. I LOVE this bag and it might be my favorite of all time. I wonder why I waited so long to get it. I highly recommend.

Just received PSM Reverse from Rebag. It’s cute, but is it an everyday bag?
I’m near 70, don’t care what’s in or out for oldsters! I wear jeans, tees and golden goose sabots. I live in middle of no where, so I probably would never see this bag on anyone local! I have a montsouris empriente but it’s kinda big for everyday! Opinions! Thank you

I think it's PSM is well designed, easy to use, care free and unique looking among all backpacks, worth for the money.
