Not to be a massive downer but it's banned in California because python is, unfortunately, one of the most unethical choices of skins.

No, you're not being a massive downer. Thank you for sharing that with us. I've just finished reading the article and I have to admit that I didn't know that was going on. I never really looked into the whole industry of exotic skins before because maybe I didn't want to know the truth. I don't mean to write an essay but I didn't buy this bag because real python skin was the material. I bought the bag because it has been a dream bag of mine ever since it came out. Real python skin doesn't attract me, I would buy a faux snake skin PS11 bag if it was made beautifully and also an option rather than the real thing. Ain't nothing wrong with faux skin done beautifully or crocodile/alligator or iguana embossed bags. Sorry for blabbing, lol.
Thank you! I think the quilted flap is a real change in the design that makes it a little more interesting.Wow, it's very gorgeous! Love the quilted flap! Congrats
Sorry for the late reply, I've been bombarded by school work!
This is the best image I have on hand (there's alot of coat too).
I wear it on the second to last strap length and it hits my mid-back/mid-lower torso.
It's the perfect small day time bag (and pairs well with my Balenciaga Cut Out Boots).
My only issue is that the leather is delicate, and gets finger marks easily (they wipe off!). Also, the metal strap hooks creak when I walk, but I'm assuming that'll go away with time.

hi there - i had ordered from farfetch the classic black patent and was very excited to get it. it arrived today, but much to my chagrin the patent leather showed EVERY SINGLE fingerprint. it really bugged me. like it was super-obvious. this isn't the first patent item ive owned, but i have never had this issue. well luckily for my bank account the purse is going back. thought i'd share, just in case anyone else can't deal with the fingerprint patent issue. otherwise it was a beautiful bag. still hoping to join the ps11 club at some pt.
I'm sorry to hear about your patent PS11. For me, it was a toss up between the grey, the navy patent and the embossed burgundy. Now, I'm kind of glad I went with the embossed. I have 2 patent bags, a Chanel WOC and a Dior promenade pochette and have no problem with either with fingerprints but then again , they're both quilted. Maybe the no quilted patent shows fingerprints more readily
I just bought the mini black stingray jade ps11 bag. this will be my second ps11 bag my first one was the classic calf hair. This bag was on sale so I had to get it and also i love the color combination, size and texture. I still don't know why it's called stingray as they don't use anything stingray related. Anyway, the bag should be here on Friday.

Hi, I just recently purchased the mini size and I was just wondering if the bag would hold a good amount of stuff in there.Hello Lovlies!
I recently joined the PS11 club too
I received the PS11 mini with the quilted flap for my birthday and it's been true love ever since.
Anyone got tips on how to keep the leather in good condition? Or know how this leather handles rain?
When you say good amount, what do you mean?
It's a mini bag, so it doesn't fit much. It really depends on the wallet you use in my opinion, because my wallet (MiuMiu long wallet) is huge it takes up 50% of the bag. I sometimes use a card case+coin case instead to have more room in the bag.
Other than that I can fit pretty much all the things I would need out and about (wallet, phone, phone cables&charger, a compact, pen, lip-blam and hand cream, and a soft case for my sunglasses which aren't in the pictures.)
I think an iPad mini would fit, and I've had a moleskin notebook in there in the past too.
