The suede is amazzzzing.... I usually hate suede because it's easily affected but rain, but that bag is gorgeous!

I live in a reasonably wet climate and get caught in the rain occasionally with a suede bag. I just spray it with a protectant and the water just pearls off. I adore leather but there's something soft and luxurious about suede that feels just lovely and makes for a nice change.

It feels different? In what way?

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?

I guess the golden toned hardware feels dressier and more *obvious*, for want of a better word. It makes the bag look brighter and draws more attention to itself. The gunmetal has a more subdued, utilitarian feel to it. I like the hardware on my bags to be subtle so the gunmetal is great for me. I don't have a bag with the black hardware but the chipping issue would bother me, that's why I've avoided it so far.

The brass is really lovely with some colours. It's pretty on midnight and it works really well with the tobacco suede too as the colour of the bag is quite warm and so matches the feel of the hardware. But I love the gunmetal on the black, just because it's so industrial and clean looking. My style is quite minimalist and I don't wear much jewlery so the gunmetal suits me.

I think you have a very good point about the gold/brass hardware. If it looked so good with black, they probably would come out with it... so the fact that they only have gunmetal with black probably means that it looks the best.

It's interesting that they've reserved the gunmetal for black. Most other bags have brass hw, right? Some suede bags and limited edition bags have silver hw too I believe.

The gunmetal makes the black a more unisex look. I find the brass on the PS1 quite bright -- on black it would look quite flashy. It would suit some but I like the gunmetal. I wish they'd put it on some other colours too, it think it would look great.

Gorgeous!!! Which color is that?? It looks like a true cobalt blue!

Thanks ladies. :) It's called sky blue. But the blue is much deeper, both darker than the name would suggest and yet bright. The leather itself is yummy too. And seems much more scratch resistant (as in I have none so far) than my bronze SKA (which got its first scratch as I was unpacking it. LOL). Maybe the color saturation is the difference?

Thank you so much for your sweet comments. :smile1: Which dress are you referring to, the blue one or the yellow one? If you link to the picture I'd be happy to tell you what I'm wearing.

And please post pictures of your new bag soon.
