Hi all,

Just got this guy in the mail from the Barney's Warehouse sale :) black hair & croc stamped leather...

I'm wondering if anyone has a Pashli with the croc embossed leather that can help me out... the leather is extremely stiff, especially on the side panels toward the bottom & I'm wondering if anyone has advice on the best way to condition it.
The croc pattern happens to fall so that the croc panels meet right where the bag bends and i'm afraid that the leather will crack. I can even feel the edges when I run my finger along the side (i'm attaching pictures because this sounds confusing). This is only an issue on one side because of the way the croc pattern lands.

Long story short, i'm planning to contact the PL customer service, but wanted to see if anyone here had any tips. I'm also thinking about reaching out to Barneys to see if they can send a different one if this can't be remedied.

Any thoughts/advice? TIA!

It's gorgeous! Congratulations! I thought Ssense only does price adjustments on full price items that go on sale. It sounds like you got a price adjustment on a sale item that was further reduced. May I ask if this is correct? If so, how wonderful!

That is correct. Their policy does not specify full priced to sale. It only states as long as the item is a permanent mark down and isn't final sale, they'll do a price adjustment.

Yes, I did contact PL and this was their reply:

"Thank you for your inquiry.

The leather used in this particular style actually softens nicely, each scale of the croc-embossed panel is hand cut. A leather conditioner won’t be necessary as it will soften in time. But feel free to consult Leather Spa for the best conditioning methods.

However, we do suggest for you to be mindful of the calf-hair as it is very delicate – avoid being in contact with rough surfaces. This goes the same for the leather, as any leather will get scratched when in contact with a rough surface.

Let us know if you have further questions."

I didn't contact Leather Spa because i've heard mixed reviews on them, so I'm planning to just wear it with care and hope for the best. Glad to hear i'm not the only one though, I was concerned that I just got a bad one.

Thanks for your reply. It is good to know this is not really a defect. I was kind disappointed when I open the package. Hopefully it will turn out nice after the leather softened. Thanks again for your info.

Hi ladies! I've been looking for a bag mainly for work, and fell in love with this one from the past season! :love:

Does anyone own this particular one? I'd like to know if the white embossed part dirties easily and how has the bag held up for you? I'm looking for a bag that I don't have to baby it too much.

Any help would be appreciated!
