Have you all seen the new quilted PS11's? :loveeyes: I like them but still like the plain leather ones just as much. Haven't purchased a PS11 yet but I hope to soon. Waiting to see if F/W 2014 will bring some new colours out. So far this style is only available in white, black, and metallic from what I've seen.

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.
HTH :)

That was very helpful! I'm currently thinking about getting this one:

I'm assuming this is the current season smoothish bright white? I was kind of hoping to get more of an off-white ivory color though. My other option would be the quilted white but unfortunately the Mini white quilted is not showing up on the Proenza Schouler website (it only shows the quilted Mini Black and Silver).

Apparently the Barney's Mini White PS11 is the only white PS11 in any department stores/Proenza Schouler Boutiques in the US from what I've researched online. I can't even find any white Classics!

The white is beautiful. I had one from NM a couple of years ago but the squares with white inside. The only reason I returned it was because I went for another color instead.

If you get it from Barneys don't forget Purple Card starts this Thurs!

The Barneys one looks very nice. It's hard to tell the colour or texture from the stock pics though.
ITA agree with argus - the PS11 in white is gorgeous. I'm not exactly impartial though because I have two white PS11s :laugh: - a mini and a Classic in different leather types. I'll find a photo of the two whites side by side so you can see the difference.
Browns in London on farfetch has the Classic in white BTW. It is the brighter white though.

I would love to see comparison pictures and/or modeling shots of your two white PS11s if you have a chance! I am leaning towards getting the white Mini, but the hardware on the bottom of the Classic is gorgeous. Is there a strong weight difference between the Mini and Classic? How would the Mini and Classic compare in weight to an old Medium Chanel Boy?

Thanks for answering all my questions, by the way! :smile1:

You're welcome! There's very little difference in weight between the two Ps11s. I compared the weight of the Classic with a smooth leather Mini as well as against the textured leather Mini and there's very little difference between them all - the Classic is only slightly heavier. Honestly I wouldn't own PS11s and carry them as often as I do if they were heavy - I'm quite small and I can't stand carting heavy bags around!
I'm sorry I don't own a Boy (very, very sorry!!:crybaby: ;))so I can't help with that.
Will try to post a photo of them hanging side by side later - it wouldn't upload for me today.

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 :)

i had bought one in 2012/2013 from the corner and it smelled liked fishoil! it was terrible. wound up not keeping it anyway, since I didn't like the thick texture. the ps11's ive seen in stores since didn't have the smell issue.
