The tobacco suede is such a rich/medium shade. Frankly it's the only color I would consider. The pictures just don't do it justice. You know what a big fan of PS I am. Those are my boys!

I remember when I decided I wanted a PS11, I spent a good 2 months searching out something that was less expensive as I thought it was a lot of money to spend on a bag. Now, I don't regret it at all, quite possibly one of my favourite purchases, as materialistic as that sounds.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that it has worn pretty well - my friend has the nude leather PS1 and I can see it becoming very crescent like as she has it over time, as the leather is super soft and supple. Looks like it has worked out for you in the end, and I have to say, the bag definitely suits you!

I had been ogling the PS1 ever since it came out until I heard about the discoloration problem on another blogger's leather PS1 (maybe this only happened with a certain color?). I agree on the convenience of bags with multiple carry options. They come in very handy when I'm lugging around during grocery shopping etc. <br />Love the bag and it looks so fantastic on you!Katie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05232291940857577641noreply@blogger.com
