Beautiful bag!!
Where did you get it? I've been looking for this textured one in classic size.
I'm thinking about getting a black PS11! So excited. But I am torn between the Classic and the Mini. I was leaning towards the Mini. I thought the Mini has the black rhinestones, but when I look it up all I am seeing on the Mini are the yellow rhinestones like the Classic has. Does anyone know if any black Minis have the black rhinestones?
I think it just depends on whether the bag has textured or smooth leather. Harrods has a black mini with black detail: http://www.harrods.com/product/ps11...=LS&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-Xda9nE.qRNO8Q9kkxyF_0w
They're not really rhinestones either - the little squares are concave; they don't stick out.
Thanks for the info! I have not seen the PS11 in person yet, so I am not as familiar with the brand as I am with other brands such as Balenciaga, Chanel, etc.
I read throughout the forum that the PS11 is a bit heavy and has an off-putting foul smell/odor. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Haha, sorry for laughing, but I've never experienced any foul smell from any of my PS bags. I've had 3 PS1 and I have 3 PS11 now, none of them have smelled anything but delightful for a leather bag.
Concerning the weight, I don't find it heavy, it is heavier than the PS1, but not that much. I like that it's not too light, it's just right. The perfect bag if you ask me. Actually I would compare it's weight to the medium Chanel Boy bag.
I've never experienced any smell either and I own several PS bags. I have the mini PS11 and it is heavier than other bags it's size. It's a thick sturdy bag.
Around about 2010 (I think) there were problems with some new PS11s having a strong odour - I should know because I bought one of them from Net-a-porter. It was my second PS11 and the first one had no smell other than the usual lovely new leather smell. PS were very evasive about it but it seemed they were using a particular oil to treat or seal the leather at the end of production. Anyway the smell faded after a while with no lingering after effects at all and I still use that PS11 regularly. I've bought 4 other PS11s since then and none have had any weird odours so it was a very short lived production issue.
As for the weight of the bag, I usually carry Classics and I find them lightweight as well as very tough and sturdy. It may be that the hardware on the Minis make them a little heavier than other bags of a similar size. PS have been busy stripping hardware from the PS11s so weight issues are more likely with older season bags.
Good luck with your purchase
Mine had the smell too, it wasn't nasty but it wasnt the nice leather scent you usually get from PS1 or Balenciaga. It gets better. And I bought it from Luisaviaroma

ve my PS11 Mini Classic in Lemon. It was my first PS11 and, even though I was a bit insecure to buy the "Mini" version, I have to say, now that almost a week has passed, I'm very-very-veeeeery happy with the size I chose. The "Mini" actually fits a lot, it's lightweight, incredibly practical and it would go from day to night in a blink of an eye
I will definitely buy another one in black, so I can use on a daily basis!

LOVE this!!! The PS11 is perfect in lemon
Thanks for all of your responses regarding the PS11 weight, etc.!
I've been eyeing the white PS11. Does anyone know if the white is a pure white or is it more of an off-white/ivory color?

It depends on the season and the type of leather.
Current season quilted is off white.
Current season smooth-ish (lightly grained) leather is a brighter white.
Older season matte textured leather is a milk shade - not cream or ivory but soft white like milk.
