Hello PFers, I just received the mini PS11 bag yesterday from Farfetch sale preview. It is brown leather according to the description from Farfetch. It is a beautiful bag.
However, I am in a dilemma now. The other Marni trunk bag I got from Barneys pre sale also arrived yesterday. Now I have no idea which one to keep and which one to return.
Would you like to give me some thoughts? Thank you very much.
Um...hello? Ur in the PS 11 forum here. Of Course I'm gonna root for the PS 11! It's so gorgeous! The color and texture is so beautiful and stands out way more than your Marni. Plus that hardware is to die for. I think deep down...you know you want to keep the PS 11 dear. Good luck! It truly is gorgeous.

Oh WOW! They're both absolutely gorgeous bags
I would definitely have a hard time picking between the two as well. I saw the Marni Trunk Bag in a store in Copenhagen and i thought it was absolutely stunning, looks elegant and understated but can still be worn to make it look very cool. However, due to the color, you may have to be a little more careful with the bag if you're planning on using it as an everyday bag.
The PS 11 is very edgy looking and more of a stand out style. I think it is the perfect balance between edgy and classic. When you wear it, it gives an instant wow factor to an outfit. It depends on if you want an understated classic bag or a statement fashion icon style bag. If you can keep both, you should, they are similar, yet totally different.
k5ml3k, thank you for your suggestion. I finally made my decision to keep ps11 and return the Marni bag to the store today. The texture of ps11 seems more endurable.
Tanasiluv, thank you very much. In fact when I posted it, I intended to return PS11.I even created the return label, and scheduled DHL pickup. But as you said, deep down I want to keep the PS11. So I rescheduled the pickup twice! Now I decided to return the Marni bag. Because I think if I miss PS11 this time, I would spare no efforts to get it back in the future.

Miss World, thank you so much for your opinion, I really appreciate it. The Marni bag looks quite stunning and the color combination is summer look. But as you said, I may baby this bag because of the color. Besides the bag is a little fragile for me. I guess it's due to the leather texture. So that is part of the reasons I decided to return it.
You are absolutely right about PS11's wow factor to an outfit. The texture seems endurable so I don't have to worry when I wear it. I feel kind of relieved after finally making the decision.
Lovvee.... i really wanna own black oneI thought I would start a thread on this desirable box bag, the PS11!
I just got myself the PS11 in black and am waiting for the kelly green clutch version to come out soon as well.

and one picture of the saddle on a mannequin.
more pictures of the new season colours to come soon
HEEEELP!! I just ordered my holy grail PS11 Mini from SSENSE, and the flap is super crooked!! Has anyone else experienced this, or know what can be done? It's sold out everywhere
I have a ps11 in mushroom but the regular leather and it sits similar. It could be the way the magnet sits. One thing that annoys me about my bag though is that it's super squeaky when I carry it on shoulder.
Love the leather and hardware combination of your bag

Thanks!! I love it too, which is why I'm so determined to figure out if this is fixable.
I actually contacted PS Customer Care, cause they do repairs for bags purchased through authorised sellers. They said they have to check if it's repairable, and that they'd get back to me.
My friend also has this bag, and I've heard her complain of the squeakiness a bit, but it's too pretty to pass on
Hello, PFers. I have a problem of PS11 bag. After deciding to keep the bag, I wore it outside once last weekend. Afterwards when I examined the bag closely, I found there were signs of leather cracking on one side of the strap. I kind of freaked out, because I received the bag last week and have no idea what's the cause. Does this happen to your PS11s too? Is it because of the nature of such textured materials?

Hi, this looks like the place where two leather pieces meet. PS straps usually have this because it's not possible to use one leather piece, the strap is too long.
Elliespurse, thank you for your response. I don't think I said it clearly. In the second picture, there are some small leather flakes along the threads of the strap. Is it supposed to be this way? If it is true, it will be a relief for me.

I've seen stitches like this but it would have been better if they looked like the first pic. I think it also depends on the type of leather, if it's textured, smooth etc. PS could probably repair/replace the strap.
Last week i purchased a black mini PS11. I tried it on in the store and loved it. However, when i took it home, i could hardly fit anything in it that i needed and i don't carry that much. So i went back to the store and exchanged it for the black PS11 Classic size. The PS11 Classic size is great, it doesn't look big at all, but it is very spacious and roomy, and fits a lot inside. It's a great everyday bag and you don't feel like your carrying around a bulky bag.
Although i'm content with the classic size, i still regret returning the PS11 mini, it is so compact and cute, i think i might need to go back and buy that one again too to add to my collection!
The PS11 is a very addictive style, i love all the different colors it comes in, i wouldn't be surprised if people have a few different colors in this style.

I would love to be able to get my hands on a mini PS11 Camo, but i think it will be almost impossible to find that color now.
