Is it a user friendly bag? I'm not much of a structured bag person and I love my L PS1. Thinking of getting another PS but smaller in size..I quite like the PS11 but afraid the structured shape will make me carry the bag less...is it a good everyday bag? I'm on the bigger side so it's also a concern. To those using PS11, do share your opinion if you own one. Thank you [emoji8]
I can't say if it's a good every day bag if, for example, you carry a large amount of stuff with you. It looks small, but you can fit a substantial amount of stuff despite the size of PS11.
I'm only 5' but on a... thicker side, and it hangs extremely well on me, I can also carry it crossbody.
As for the structure, my PS11 has not lost it shape and is still very sturdy and structured. I don't carry this bag often, only on weekends and it depends on my mood and the clothes I wear. I also bought this on summer of 2012 and the flap, when you open them, has creases now.
I'll take a picture of the creases and post it when I get home.
I have the smaller ps11 (the mini classic?) and find it very user-friendly. I was afraid to use it at first and had slight buyer's remorse for a bit bc it was so structured.
But then I got over it... what's the use of having a beautiful bag if I'm not going to use it? So now I use it all the time. Mostly for going out with dh, running errands without kids in tow, as a clutch for a night out, or when I am out with the kids and need my essentials (wallet, keys, phone) on me via the crossbody option (in addition to a diaper bag that I can just leave somewhere).
I also don't baby it at ALL and it has retained it's shape very well. The leather is very sturdy and hardy. It has signs of use and some light scratches but this is how I prefer it. IMO, bags are more beautiful when loved, used, and broken in a bit.
A few things to be aware of before the plunge: my bag squeaks a lot (although lately it's gotten a bit better somehow) and there is a whole thread about squeaky bags somewhere around. The strap also inexplicably detaches every so often. I just clip it back on.
I've seen photos of this bag on women of all shapes and sizes and they all look pretty fab

Thank you for sharing your experience! I have yet to actually try the bag in person, I guess I will know once I try it in person
I'll be traveling to UK and Paris next month, looking forward to checking out the bags [emoji7]
Thank you for sharing
I've tried some structured cross body bags but it does not seem to look good on me and am just afraid it's going to stick out awkwardly when I carry it. I guess bags looks better with wear [emoji6]
My PS1 in teal was the first designer bag I bought - I wear it all of the time and still love it! I obsessed over this thread before I bought it, so I thought I'd show my PS1 in action from the weekend. I recently started a blog so you can see more pictures there: necessaryluxury.co. Thanks for letting me share!! xx

I love this color but it looks so very different on the NM website. The PS website shows the bag as well and the color is very vivid. NE pics make the bag look almost coral....ish.
Can you possibly post more pics???
next to something red??Thanks so much!!
