It's hard to believe that I can now join this forum, but after spying, buying and cringing at spending by far the most money I ever have on a purse, I'm taking my new baby out for a spin:

Love your blanket Keepall! The colors are fabulous. I have a Mochila wallet that I use daily and it has really held up well, just as good as the "luxe" leather and probably better than PS suede. You will get a ton of use from this!
 
Just L-O-V-E this on you drati! Really soooooooooooooo SO cute! :yahoo:

Thank you. It's such a practical little bag, I love it.

I think it would look fine with the knot on top, but I know that personally I would never be able to duplicate that "perfect" knot with my own strap! I like the idea of punching a few extra holes. It shouldn't diminish the value of the bag, and then you have less concern about premature wear for that portion of the strap (I unknotted most of my PS straps right away and you can still kind of see where the knot was originally because there is a slight crimp in the leather and the seal is a bit stressed - no big deal, but I think it's more noticeable than extra holes).

You're making me feel better about punching holes. Thank you! I'm not too worried about the extra holes as I plan on keeping this cutie for a long time. I love how Schadenfreude knotted the extra bit of strap. There's really nowhere for it to go otherwise, this is a cute solution.
 
Drati, I don't worry about punching holes at all (obviously). In the grand scheme, it's such a minor modification... If you didn't mention it, most people probably wouldn't even notice. I figure if I'm that worried about resale value... I probably should just unload the item right away, because it's not a keeper. (but this is coming from the girl that merrily punched holes in Hermes belts without batting an eye!)

You're absolutely right of course. I bought the bag to use and enjoy and usually don't consider resale either. I did the punching earlier today. Took a lot more than just 3 or 4 holes though. Photos to follow ...

What sort of hole puncher are you all using? I have a bag I'd like to try this on, but I'm clueless about it!

Mine is somewhat similar to this one. They are useful as you can adjust the size of the hole you're punching.

Oh, your comment made me so excited to get wear out of this bag. As exciting as the colors are in the PS collection, there is something about the prints they come out with that I love and this one has been a favorite for awhile.
 
Girlie, I remember you from the RM forum!! I still pop in there, but I haven't lusted over any RMs in a while. I have one PS as well that I treat like a little baby!!

LOVE your tote! You are ROCKIN' it in that green dress too! You look hot! :cool:
Thanks so much Courtney! I've been MIA from the RM forum too. RM will always have a special place in my heart, but I'm trying to diversify my collection a bit. Unfortunately, I've moved on to bags that will drain my wallet even faster, lol.

Girl, I hear ya about the wallet situation!! :D I felt the same way; I looked in my closet and realized that all I had was RM and sometimes multiples of the same bag. Since then I've sold off a lot and bought a Celine and my precious PS. Anyway, congrats on your gorgeous bag!!
 
I copied Schadenfreude's idea and removed the knot in my ps1 pouch strap, punched a few extra holes and then knotted the long strap end. I love how the knot in the strap actually mirrors the knots in the little zipper pulls. Thanks for the idea Schadenfreude!

And here a modeling picture with the newly modified strap.

Usually I'd wear the bag as above, with the buckle and knot on the back, but I wanted to share what the strap looks like so wore it to the other side to take some pictures:
