Thank you so much! I love the finish. Very matte. It will take nail marks easily though, I think, so I have to be a little careful compared to my saddle ps11.
What a pity its like a device for the cops to find fingerprints of murderers...
I personally think the camo is less wearable, it will be outdated soon, its less unique, less easy to combine etc. Instead of baby wipes try the cloths that come to wipe sunglasses. Much better. The moisture of baby wipes is not the best for patent finishes
what are y'alls thoughts on the ombre? it's supposed to be arriving tomorrow. i think it's stunning, and while i'm not one for keeping up with trends, i am concerned that it might look dated eventually? or you think I can pull it off future seasons? i mostly only wear black and do my own thing. thanks for your thoughts...
Oh good idea... This is my first patent so I wasn't sure what to use. I have plenty of those cloths lying around. I like the camo but you're right, it's hard to coordinate with outfits. Pity because it was cheaper than the Oil Slick but at least it's returnable.What a pity its like a device for the cops to find fingerprints of murderers...

Congrats in advance! I think this looks great and perhaps more toned down than a solid bright color?

I think the ombre is beautiful! Where did it come from - the NY sale?
I don't think it's too loud to stand the test of time, at all. Looks very PS
I agree with the other ladies. It's got beautiful coloring and the colors are muted enough that the bag should not look dated in future years.what are y'alls thoughts on the ombre? it's supposed to be arriving tomorrow. i think it's stunning, and while i'm not one for keeping up with trends, i am concerned that it might look dated eventually? or you think I can pull it off future seasons? i mostly only wear black and do my own thing. thanks for your thoughts...
Worst case scenario it gets dated: you dye the leather of same color as strap. Problem solved
its quite unique. Never seen it in the street or blog

I agree! It's so pretty and unique! Please post pics when you get it! I'm still debating whether to purchase one for myself as a Xmas/finishing grad school present in a few weeks.

thanks for all the feedback ladies. much appreciated. does make me feel better about it standing the test of time. i did receive it today and it is beautiful, BUT i think whatever dye process they use it's kind of left little white specks in random spots.... and i fear that it might get worse? like the color will fade? and if im spending so much on a bag i want the dye job to be perfect. i'll try and post pics of it tomorrow to get your thoughts....
to answer your questions/other suggestions: i got the bag from neiman marcus, but now i found it elsewhere for another 200$ or so cheaper. NM however wouldnt do a price match, so regardless ill be returning the NM one. maybe the bag I get from the other store won't have the little white discoloration...
it's funny that someone mentioned dying it, i was actually thinking of that being an option and actually the bag's leather is of the smooth variety, not like the regular classic black and its texture. i actually prefer the smoother version better, which is why i havent gotten a black classic.. so maybe if the spots get worse i could then get a second life out of the bag.....
congrats on the lady finishing grad school! i have another 2 semesters... ugh.
Hey bpm5323, I saw that you got the oil slick mini ps11. I was just wondering how is it holding up? I know there's been issues s bubbling and etc in the past with the ps11's so I wanted to know if this particular one had the same issues. Thank you!
So here are the pics of the ombre (also called degrade) ps11 classic. If yoy look closely you'll see some random black dots/spots which dont bother me really but then, in particular in the picture that shows the pressure mark from the hardware you will see the white spots/areas where it looks like the dye color didnt stick. This really bothers me and im concerned that it foreshadows what will happen over time... in any case. I returned this one since i found it cheaper elsewhere, so maybe the new bag will look better?
Would welcome your opinions. Sorry for no full shots w.out the protective packaging but since i was returning i didnt want to undo it.

It does look better in promo/website pictures compared to the real thing. Sorry but the real thing is abit lackluster which is a pity because I got so excited when I first saw the pictures.
