Proenza Schouler Handbags - the PS1 et al

[leyla m.]

kim,
my colleague/friend has the Xlarge and bought it to carry his laptop during fashion week. it seems totally fine in it.. and i do get quite a few customers asking me the same thing, if they can fit their laptop in it

oh my god, what a life, buying a PS1 to carry your laptop to fashion week

 

[leyla m.]

^^ hmmm i guess it is a very hard life
but not easy for a man if you think about it. something understated that fits laptop and documents for everyday use.
i think to him it probably makes more sense to use it for his laptop than me using mine for my "nonsense"

 

[Katie123]

i suppose from all the designer bags he could get, it's the most unisex looking one so good for him

leyla, that's good to know...thank you...
when i went to fashion week in february, i carried my laptop in my black ysl rive gauche, but i didn't use the laptop alot...

i bet if they did a black on black version of that bag it would look great for a guy...
it retails for $2395 on kirnazabete.com...

kim,
that is the one he has. the black on black Xlarge and it is perfect

i want an XL black leather PS1 SOOOO bad!!!
too bad they are so $$$$$$$

 

[Aquamarina]

I saw XL RS1 yesterday for 150 000 roubles (about 5 000$)!!!!!!
It's so hard to live in Moscow!
Maybe this bag is cool, but it's not my style. Can't imagine myself with it

Does anyone have a suede PS1? How hard is it to keep it clean and looking good? I tried out the purple PS1 and while I love the bag that particular shade of purple isn't my favorite. Now I don't know which color to get really - my next favorite is the tobacco and I've only seen it in suede... Not quite sure what I should do. I'd been really planning on treating myself to a PS1 for my birthday now I'm not so sure.

 

[kimair]

mk olsen's tobacco suede is lookin' pretty worn in some newer shots i've seen, but i think if you treat it before using, you'd be ok...
i would be concerned about color transfer from denim, but you'll get that from any bag...

 

[D A N A]

I have 2 questions, how big is the biggest size?
and what does PS stand for?

 

[caroulemapoule]

^D A N A, I always thought that PS stands for Proenza Schouler, and that the 1 means 'our first bag' like Balenciaga first? That's at least my opinion.

The biggest size is XL.

 

[D A N A]

Yeah I guess you're right, it makes sense. Thank you.

I am schocked. I got a package from FedEx today, first I thought it was my Phillip Lim dress (which Classicalbang shipped to me recently). But that wasn't shipped out with FedEx. So I checked the address label, and it said, wait a second: Proenza Schouler - Italy!! (proof underneath)

I decided to take pictures, so you could all have the excitement that I did

The package: uhhhh

Proof:

I'm opening!!!

Uh! A box??? I didn't order anything??

Uhh! It comes with a letter!!

I have to read it! So exciting!!

Oh my! It's the Production Manager from Proenza Schouler! He apologizes for the inconvenience with my PS1, and send me this (look underneath) to make up for it, since they care a lot about their customers satisfaction. So sweet of them!! I didn't expect this at all!

 

[caroulemapoule]

And look at the beauty who waited for me inside the box!! THE SAMPLE WALLET!!!

 

[Thefrenchy]

SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

 

[Red Sole]

^^^That's sooooo nice!!!! That guy really knows what CS is all about!!! I'm soooo happy for you!!!!!

 

[caroulemapoule]

Frenchy: Sorry

Emmy: Yes, he sure does! I just wrote them to say thank you, and I posted it on my blog too.
