I picked up this Proenza Schouler PS1 in Military about a year ago -- while I don't use it everyday, it's one of my favourite all-rounders: deceptively roomy, light to carry, and goes with everything.
This is the medium size, measuring 13" x 9" x 4", is just large enough for me to bring everything I need without giving me too much room to fit in the kitchen sink. I used to be obsessed with the oversized bucket bags of the mid-to-late 00's, but I'm starting to embrace a more streamlined (ish) approach.
This bag can be carried in hand and worn cross-body, but fair warning: the strap is not quite long enough to be a traditionally slouchy messenger bag. You'll see in the video that the 16" drop sits very high on me, especially with my freakishly long torso, but I almost prefer it because it reminds me of those one-strap backpacks in grade school.
I feel like I should have treated this bag with some sort of leather care, but I have no idea what products are safe to use on this leather. Got advice? Leave it below!
The bag closure is a flip-lock closure, with two additional straps to keep the envelope flap down; for a more casual look (read: when I'm in a hurry and can't give a bleep), I'll keep the straps loose, but the straps do give the bag more detail.
Loved the video and I really like the colour of your bag.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki! It goes with EVERYTHING
DeleteI love your bag, it looks very chic and oh my goodness, glad to know I'm not the only one with mountain of receipts in my purse! LOL!

Omg I don't even need them for anything usually! I have no idea why I keep them
Deleteoh you you didn't! the PS1!!! lol i love the look of it but it sort of doesn't fit with what i need anymore. i would have totally used this when i was in school though since it looks more academic and the boxy shape would fit my files quite well. thats if i could have actually afforded it then...
ReplyDeletecute video! as always! love the skirt (i thought i saw something similar at H&M?)

I use it as a weekend bag mostly -- like for one night at a friend's house, that bag is all I take with me.
DeleteIt's from Oak + Fort! I'm sure H&M has something similar though
Ooo this is such a cool bag! Love love love! :-)

It's a good one!
DeleteSeriously one of my dream bags. I bought this Country Road rip off years ago but it grosses me out that it's an 'inspired' piece and not the real deal :p Love the colour of your wallet!
ReplyDeleteThanks babe! Im not usually a pink person but I've come to love this one :-)
