All your beautiful PS11 make me want to buy one immediately! I am new to PS and would go for the black classic, but am a little concerned about the weight and "stiffness". Can anybody owning a PS11 comment on how easy it was to adapt to such a style? I am usually carrying softer totes, eg the LV Neverfull or Noe or a Prada leather tote. When I tried a PS11 with my usual belongings I found it a little heavier and much more "compact" then my other purses, however much lighter then expected with all the Hardware. I loved the look, I think this bag is the perfect mix of classic and edgy...
Also has anyone owned a PS11 and decided to let it go? If yes, why?

The bag is beautiful and keeps it's shape nicely. I love seeing it out in the wild every so often. I got rid of it however, for four reasons:
(1) I found it too heavy
(2) it squeaked loudly with every step I took
(3) the hardware on the strap kept unhooking itself somehow and my bag would go flying
(4) I have small kids and on two occasions the corner of the bag's front hardware whacked their face and left bloody scratches :(.

It's a beautiful bag though and I wish it had worked out.

Since I've sold it, I've gone back to softer styles for daily use.

After considering the pros and cons I finally decided to go for it, thanks again for those who took the time to share their experiences.

And as I loved looking at all the beautiful pictures, here is mine, PS11 classic in black smooth leather.

Although I need to get used to the stiff and boxy style a little, I already love how easy it is to get things in and out and how everything is easily available and within sight, as opposed to my larger totes [emoji4]

Such a cool classic! :cool:

For what it's worth I've been carrying both size PS11s for several years and the original Classic size is the better bag in my opinion. And I've experienced absolutely zero problems with them even after having my Classics in particular on very high rotation. So I hope you're as happy with your PS11 as I've been with mine :)
