the wallets are $250 for leather...i didn't see any python ones, but they could be coming out later...

 

[classicalbang]

^ $250 is very reasonable. I'm surprised they do not cost more, actually. Thanks for the info, kim.

 

[Thefrenchy]

Thanks Kim If the leather ones are $250, how much would you assume the python ones could cost? $500?

I second this. Would have guessed a much higher price as the clutches and bags are quite exp for their size

^The wallet only have one compartment. I have one. I wouldn't pay 250$ for one. Maybe 100$. But no more than that.

I see. But compared to LV canvas wallets it's still a fair price (that's how far luxury marketing has distorted my views lol)

 

[leyla m.]

250 USD would indeed be a good price. not too much not too little

 

[kimair]

it seems reasonable compared to some pieces by balenciaga, like the coin purse retails for $295 and is much smaller and only has one compartment...
i took a pic of the ones barneys ny had behind glass...the colors are cream, chocolate brown and purple...

 

[Kenysha75]

^Thanks for posting Kimair and is that proenza the orange bag on the right corner?

 

[ambidextrous]

kimair: did you see whether Barneys NY had the medium sized (smooth leather) PS1 in smoke or midnight?

 

[ChrissyM]

thanks for the info kimair

i agree that price doesn't seem so bad...
good colors... the purple in the back caught my eye

 

[kimair]

you're welcome everyone...
ambidextrous, sorry, i didn't even notice...i was mesmerized by the orange croc one...

 

[Kenysha75]

OMG theyre doin orange croc for real?
This fall is no joke with proenza...

 

[lmelanie]

one year review

It's been almost about a year since I bought my PS1 and I thought I'd share a review on it. My usage was medium-heavy. I wore it for weeks at a time and I wasn't extremely careful with it (not putting it on the floor, those kind of things).

I am disappointed with how it's held up over the past year. The leather has stretched out a bit too much and is now curly. The hardware is chipped and misaligned. The inside of the bag's lining is ripped. I know this happened shortly after I got the bag (I think I posted the concern in this thread earlier). I think in general the bag is a gorgeous bag, but the leather needs to be more stiff to hold the boxy shape. Since I've had the bag for so long, I doubt Proenza Schouler would do anything about it, but the price for this bag is a little overwhelming when some cheaper bags would hold up a lot better than this after a year. I personally don't mind the chipping on the hardware, but the misalignment, saggy leather, and ripped lining are what make me hesitant to buy any other PS1 for a while.

Overall - I do not think the price was worth it. I feel like the authentic would last just as long as a knock off bag.

Anyways, here are some photos so you can see what I'm talking about:

Edit: I don't know if this would be worth sending over the Proenza Schouler, but I wish there was something I could do about the sagginess and the ripped lining

^^^Thanks for posting this! I wonder if the newer bags are made the same way or if they have any improvements...
