The PS11 : the Box Bag by Proenza Schouler

I've been ooh-ing and aah-ing over the PS11 for roughly a year, and now I finally think I'm ready to commit.

I need a structured, "box" bag that could pass for slightly more formal than the Bal Cities, PS1s and Givenchy Pandoras I use for everyday. I think that PS11 fits the bill; plus it can dress down with jeans for casual wear.

I have two questions for current PS11 owners:

1. What is the shortest length that the strap an be adjusted? (I am only about 5'2" in stocking feet).

2. How is it aging? I'm not especially concerned with scratches, but wonder if the corners/edges are prone to rubbing or fading, and whether or not the flap develops a noticeable crease.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
 
I really want this bag in black, and I was thinking about getting it this summer when I'm going to NYC. But I'm just wondering if it's even available in stores anymore? I don't even know where to start looking. Barneys? Maybe I should email them?
 
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.

OMG it's fantastic!! :woohoo:
 
I have the PS11 mini in black, and I compared it directly to the reg size in person. It's only barely smaller than the regular - a hint less in length and width. Truthfully, it didn't make that much of a difference when it came to what fit into it - I like both bags, and I carry a lot, so I really did have to trim down my "essentials" to use it. That said, by the time I trimmed, I was still down to the same amount of stuff that got into the mini vs the reg - there wasn't enough of a difference for me to feel, oh I HAVE to have the reg bc I can get an additional xyz in there. I DO like the cosmetic feature differences on the reg tho, a lot. And I wish they were on the mini. Either way, they are both so cute!! I love mine.
 
Hey, fellow PS 11ers,

Have you used anything to condition your bag? I've had mine since Nov and have yet to touch it with any products. It still looks great, but the leather is different than my other bags so I'm looking for tips for the future. Thanks!!
