I have never said this about any bag -- but I think I'm afraid of it breaking too. I can't imagine how we can ruin it just by using it -- but I am afraid of what can happen when I do... so I put it away.I'm going to def look into this, Im fine with it being different looking, I just want a useable bag! I asked HG for a replacement, it's $100 for a new strap.
Yes, it was terrible timing. I'd been up for 22 hours, was about to go through customs...and boom...straight to the ground.
I do love my military!! for some reason I've been using my AW rocco duffel a lot lately, I think I'm secretly afraid of ruining my PS's.

Oh boy, strap on handbag breaking just as you're arriving at your destination. Ugh. I hope you can get back to enjoying your military, I love how it looks on you.
I've just decided to enjoy my PS1s and I try not to anticipate something going wrong. One of my rivet popped the day I received my black medium. I just found a leather repair person and he did a great job, almost matching the original rivet. So I've resolved whatever happens, I'll just find somebody with the skill to fix it. But as much as I currently love the PS1, I find the company's way of dealing with these issues quite disturbing.
And to stay on topic, here is my black medium last week:

Thank you drati, yoyotomatoe (have the recent comments scared you off from buying your first? What color and size were you looking into?), Jayne1 (ahh so sad to hear that you put your's away, reading all this comments actually wants to make me hibernate my bag...), and sheanabelle!

Sheana, you look great and I love the smoke large on you. Also love the backdrop, Paris
Unfortunately posts and quality issues like your's are the reason why I am so weary of purchasing another one. " I took it to the PS store in Madison who won't fix it without a receipt" And that is another thing as well. Seems PS will only stand behind their own merchandise WHEN purchased through them or an authorized retailer. This has been beaten to death in this thread but why does it matter from where, when, whom, etc. we got an authentic PS item from - it's their stuff, they should fix it. Disappointing!
I'm with drati, hopefully a leather repair person can replace the clasp. I am not sure how those clasp are sold but it may be possible to do it without undoing the rivet, the leather repair person will just have to cut off the old clasp, slip a new one on, and then twist it tight. Good luck!!

You look great drati! Love the way it looks cross-body with that oufit and that's such a fun skirt. Also loving your boots!
Hopefully nothing else will happen to your lovely black medium, glad the rivet issued got fixed (no thanks to PS....)!

Hi melloyello...I was looking at a smoke/teal/neon coral...but now I am too scared to get one. It is not only sucky to know such an expensive part gives so many problems...but to know that PS won't even fix it for you, that is just terrible customer service! I hope yours continues to stay fab because it really is such a lovely bag.
I think part of my PS1 love comes from that metal hardware.Oh boy, strap on handbag breaking just as you're arriving at your destination. Ugh. I hope you can get back to enjoying your military, I love how it looks on you.

Oh I agree. I love the gunmetal hardware. I also have a tobacco suede PS1 and the golden brass HW feels very different from the gunmetal on the black (my 15 year old calls it my *bling* bag.
).
The suede is amazzzzing.... I usually hate suede because it's easily affected but rain, but that bag is gorgeous!
It feels different? In what way?Oh I agree. I love the gunmetal hardware. I also have a tobacco suede PS1 and the golden brass HW feels very different from the gunmetal on the black (my 15 year old calls it my *bling* bag.
I think the reason I bought the midnight PS1 was because of the brass coloured hardware.
Among other bigger concerns, (such as quality control and horrible customer service) I think the reason I'm holding back on a black PS1 is because I would have to get gunmetal... or black hardware.
Which is your favourite?
It looks different here than in the above pictures! I like that!!and again later the same day, going out:
