I have the large Pashli in black, white and rich teal color block. I purchased it at the
Nordstrom Anni sale in August and it was an absolute STEAL, I think it's a perfect combo of colors for fall and winter. These days I love colorblock anything!!
The bag is really cool. It looks amazing; edgy and sophisticated, a little bit of masculine energy to it. Aside from the gussets, it doesn't remind me of the Celine at all as everyone fusses about -- the Pashli has more of a downtown cool vibe.
I'm not sure how long I'll hold on to it though. I love it, I love the IDEA of it, but I'm not sure if I love carrying it. Like everyone else is saying, It's HEAVY DUTY. The medium is less cumbersome, and the mini is fine, but I basically feel like I'm toting around a piece of luggage. I can fit my Macbook Pro inside but NOPE, not gonna lug that around all day.
I'm 5'4" and the strap is ridiculously long. This can be remedied with a trip to a leather repair shop to punch more holes in the strap but it almost seems like the strap should be more substantial width-wise to stand up to the mass of the bag. It's just proportionally uncomfortable.
I'm also scared about the top flap being white. It's a smoother leather, not the pebbled texture like the rest of the bag, so it will probably scratch easily, and I'm terrified of getting it dirty. The closure is pretty tricky and also scratches easily.
I would love it if he made a Pashli-like tote, without the top flap, maybe a little more lightweight, that could be worn on the shoulder comfortably. A girl can dream...
