Lucky me, my risk paid off, and it turned out to be a whole lot easier than expected. The risk paid off, and it turned out to be a whole lot easier than expected. But, because I’m crazy like that, I wanted to try it myself first, and if it wouldn’t work out, I’d just have it painted black. So I felt I had little to lose and started thinking about having the bag repainted. My PS1 looked shabby and used, even though I hadn’t used it anywhere near as much as I’d liked. Neither of those things were part of the package here, so I was not happy.įast forward to 2015, when my beloved bag was gathering more dust than any other item in my closet.

I don’t know about you, but the reasons I pay a premium for a designer bag is the fact that it a) will last a long time and b) I will get good service when something needs fixing.

When I went back to the store about 18 months after I bought the PS1 (I no longer lived in London by then), they told me this was normal and there was not a lot they could do due to the fact I’d had the bag for “such a long time”. The beautiful blue hue slowly but surely turned into an unappealing, uneven grey. I must say I was quite disappointed when my dream bag started fading only a couple of months after my purchase.

From contemplating what model I should buy to clutching the Harvey Nichols bag while riding the tube on the way home (I lived in London at the time). I remember the whole experience like it was yesterday. So, back in 2011 I spent a decent amount of cash on a Proenza Schouler PS1 keepall in the beautiful shade Midnight Blue.
