Proenza Schouler Handbags - the PS1 et al

[serenade_ingenue]

btw ladies...does anyone know where I can still find PS1 Medium in Smoke? Prefer online retailers that can ship internationally, but if not, store order is fine, thank you!

i have both the bal city and the medium ps 1, and i think the city actually holds more than the medium ps1...
in terms of function, the ps1 has more compartments and the shoulder strap is longer, but the leather on each is about the same in terms of weight...
my ps1 is chartreuse, and it already got some jean color transfer on it, so i'm more delicate with it, whereas i feel i can "beat up" the balenciaga more...

the proenza schouler website has a medium in smoke...

I think kimair, explained it all perfectly. The PS1 in lighter colors definitely is more delicate and the city can be shoved with a bit more stuff, though I'd say they're about the same size. I do like that the PS1 has sections, which makes finding things that much easier. Sometimes I have to search around in my other bags just to find my phone

Luxx, I like your PS1, it's amazingly beautiful!

p.s. I adore PS handbags

Dear Kimair & Luxx, thank you both for the info! I actually already splurged on a Sage army green PS1 last week....the pictures on this board were just so tempting!
Will post pics when it's here! Very exciting!

Funny thing is that I never own a Balenciaga, and I've considered gettnig one in several occassions and always pass in the end lol

Do you girls prefer the City or PS1 in general?

I'd like to know too. Thinking of splurging on a bag for my birthday and I'm torn between the City and PS1.

i have both and prefer the PS1 by far. it is far more organised and that is a major plus

 

[kimair]

it's a tough call for me...
i have 3 cities and 1 part time, and i use those more than the ps1, but i think if i had a black, grey or tobacco ps1, i'd probably use it more...
i do think the ps1 has a "dressier" feel than the city, which definitely appeals to me...
maybe i need to go shopping...

I sold my Bal bag to get a medium Smoke ps1 and I have no regrets! I love that PS1..its literally the perfect size.

 

[serenade_ingenue]

I just got my bag today! It's the perfect army/moss green, great to go with the utilitarian style this season lol
I actually prefer the leather of PS1 than Balenciaga, but I think the size is indeed a bit smaller than the Balenciaga City, but still fits a lot of stuff and has useful compartments!

Ladies my favorite bag is the bal city and all this talk of the medium ps1 being more practical than the city is making me want one real bad!

 

[leyla m.]

redsole : GET ONE!!!! you will adore it!!!!!

 

[AAAA]

I'm having dilemmas between a PS1 and the Mulberry Elkington.

 

[sweetest_313]

I have a ps1 and a mulberry bayswater and I wore the mulberry for a week then got bored. It's SO casual, whereas the ps1 you can wear it anywhere really. So go for the PS1!

[Thefrenchy]

I was getting a bit "over it", but that bottle green croc one revives my love for this bag

 

[sweetest_313]

True^ The bottle green is the best color I have seen Proenza come up with yet.
