Right now there are a few things I know for certain: 1) Vlad and I just spent a week in the middle of nowhere Ohio for a family reunion with zero internet access. It was both delightful and frightful, 2) I am still obsessed with the Proenza Schouler PS1, and 3) Amanda is going to be really mad to see this post with an Ohio State logo.
You see, Amanda and I are always going back and forth about college football teams. She is an alumnus of THE University of Georgia while Vlad and I are alumni of THE Ohio State University. And we all love college football. A lot. Which brings me to this post. Right when I saw Net-A-Porter stock scarlet and grey colors of Proenza Schouler bags I jumped for joy. Why thank you NAP for not only knowing my college colors but also putting them on your site together on the same day! I appreciate it greatly.
I can’t even say much else about these Proenza Schouler PS1 bags other than I love them. The medium sized raspberry leather version is really a deep and sultry red, doesn’t look nearly as bright or light as a raspberry (I’d label it more of a wine color). The light grey large suede satchel is a nice light neutral. The bag itself truly does not even need much more dissecting from me. I have covered it and talked about it countless times. Buy Proenza Schouler bags via Net A Porter.
I must end this post with Go Bucks! What are your Alma mater colors?
UGA gets a ‘the’ too! DON’T WORRY, I FIXED IT.
Gosh, in Scarlet is so f23$% gorgeous.
I put the raspberry on my NAP wish list the day it showed up on the site (and promptly sold out). I love it, even though it’s more of a Bama red than a UGA red. Maybe I can get my Bama fan in-laws to get me one for my birthday?
Yeah, it’s not UGA red at all. Definitely more of a Bama color, although it does fit with Ohio State’s colors too. UGA is a true red, which is hard to find in a leather bag (trust me, I’ve done plenty of looking). Not that I would turn down this scarlet, because I definitely wouldn’t.
I solved that problem by getting silver, and I have a red and black license plate on the front and a red alumni sticker on my back window. Also, during the season, I have red and black car flags. I think that silver and black both provide a nice backdrop for Georgia paraphernalia. During football season, it always surprises me how many people bring trucks for tailgating that are the PERFECT shade of Georgia red.
My solution to the “red problem” when it came to my car was to just buy one in all black (with a “blackout” black and silver license plate frame, natch). And, yeah, not going to say no to this bag. I just have to keep my MIL from trying to borrow it for football season. 😉
Grey suede is beautiful. PS can do no wrong!

A PS1 in any colour would be gorgeous!
Haha, on a nerdier note, Megs, I think you’ve got the alumnus and alumni, singular and plural mixed around!
You guys do a great job on PurseBlog! 🙂
I TOTALLY did. Fixed it! That makes sense, but when I was writing it I just went with ‘s’ being plural. I’m a bit off of my game! Thanks 🙂
Well, it’s a toss-up for me with my school colors: do I go with blue and white (undergrad) or green and white (grad)? Maybe I’ll ditch both and go with that red one, because it is absolutely gorgeous!
So gorgeous! My Alma mater’s colors are Black and Old Gold…which Megs should be familiar with…Boiler Up! The PS1 has been done in black, obvi, but I think I would fall out of my chair if they did an Old Gold color.
scarlet is sexy. i so love the bag. and it’s sold out at net a porter. woe
Oh lord, what is up with you Buckeyes? My husband is from Columbus, and the number of red cars, red jackets, red everything is just frightening. Although I do have to admit that I like those little peanut butter chocolate buckeye candies. Yummy. I swear, Megs, if you buy the PS1 in scarlet and stitch the OSU logo on the front, I’m going to have to stop visiting this blog. 😉
Ohio State fans are kinda nuts, right?!!!
Red is my favorite color for bags, so naturally I think that PS1 is SICK!!! Love it!!!
That said, I have to say ****GO BLUE****!!!!!
(I have to stand up for my fellow Michigan alums around here).
Too bad I don’t like blue bags. Or yellow ones. Sigh…
A week later is my girl friend’s brithday, i want to buy a coach bag for her.Here i have two choice and have no idea which one to choose.
Can you give me some suggestions.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Those are Michigan State colors…I think you mean maize and blue!
i love it so much,,,
Late to the party, but I do love the raspberry! Probably just a dream now
I don’t trust girls who are into college football. I actually don’t trust girls who are into football. Grosse. However the PS1 is a great casual bag.
