Wow amazing pictures ladies! I was torn between ps1 and ps2 but now i think ps2 is definetely for me. Thank you for all the details, i really like the fact that the leather stays stiff :D hoping to get one soon!

Wow, the quality of this bag looks amazing. At first I didn't think much of it (I am a huge PS1 fan though) and then I saw this colourway, and it's gorgeous. It made me look at the bag in a whole new way.

Hi Ladies, I need your opinions here.. I located a PS11 but found that it has a small chip off the leather at the back of the flap. There's also a small dent on the outer surface of the shoulder strap. Here are the pictures of the problems:

The boutique is willing to offer me a 10% discount off for these flaws. I can probably overlook the dent but the chipping looks irreparable. Should I take up this offer?

Oh, another question to PS11 owners, is it normal for there to be tiny white veins on the leather like in the first picture? It looks kind of dry to me but I'm not sure if that's just the nature of the leather. Thanks all!

I think that completely depends on how YOU feel about it. Are you going to be bothered by it everytime you look down at your bag when you carry it? For me, 10% is not quite "enough" to accept flaws/defects like this. If they'd offer 20% off, I may consider. But since it is still such a high priced item, I'd rather have a brand new one. That's just me though :p

Hi Shoelover, the leather chipping is on the top left hand corner of Photo 1 and the dent is within the red circle in Photo 2. I might be over-scrutinizing but do you also see whitish veins on the leather in the centre of Photo 1?

I do see the 'flaws' but I don't really think they're a big deal. Maybe the pictures are too small, but I probably wouldn't have noticed them. But kiwishopper is right, if they bother you, do not buy it. And about the white-ish veins, again, I just think it's normal for leather...

Hi. The bag looks great IMO. The flaws you mentioned are hardly noticeable. The veins you mentioned looks like its natural to the leather. I would probably overlook those and take the offer (or shoot for 15%) but that's just my 2 cents...... Good luck deciding
