I own a mini pashli and I use it A LOT! It's so versatile and even better cause it can hold quite a bit of stuff. I use it as an everyday bag cause I prefer using small bags over large ones. It fits an ipad mini quite comfortably. It can also hold my small water bottle and small umbrella. The leather is pretty sturdy and I don't worry too much about getting scratches on the bag. I would highly reccommed it!
I just ordered a Pashli medium in agave, but I find I'm still going back and forth about my color choice, haha. I never carry black bags, but the black Pashli just looks so sexy. And then there's jade, and ink, and... argh!
It's so hard to pick a pashli color for me because they are all so Damn beautiful. I love the jade and I'm not even really a green fan! The leather really makes any color look good.
I ended up buying two - one in ink and one in agave - with the intention of returning the one I like the least (all the stores here seem to only have black in stock, unfortunately, so this is the only way I can compare in person!). But now I have a problem--I STILL CAN'T DECIDE. GAH.
Both of them go with most of my wardrobe. I'm leaning toward the blue because I already have a lot of green bags, I prefer gold hardware, and it wouldn't show dirt as much... but the green one is such an unusual green, and I love how spring-like it looks.
Help me pick!

Oh goodness, that's a tough decision! The blue might be more versatile bc it's to dark, almost black in the picture. But that green is so gorgeous and unique! If you have a lot of dark/black bags then I would def go w the green but since you said you have a lot of green bags then maybe go for the blue. Honestly, I hate when ppl say this bc it doesn't help, but you can't go wrong w either! GL!!
I don't know where to post this because I don't see a Philip Lim thread. I just saw the Philip Lim 31 Hour tote in clay today for the first time. It's on clearance at The Bay and I see it's on clearance at Barney's etc.
It's very nice to say the least...very minimalistic in a Celine way. What you can barely see online is the full zip pocket on the rear of this tote. This type of thick nappa leather will show scuffs but I am a sucker for this "clay" colour!
As much as I like this tote, I do feel it has 2 "design flaws" and I wondered if anybody else had comments:

- the top handle strap: if you were to open/close, the button hole will get ragged
- side snaps - what real purpose? I could not tuck in the sides of the tote and snap the snap closed, not even once! Are the side snaps there just for show? Like to add extra hardware? What's so special about side snaps for decorative purposes LOL

Ok, found images of 31 Hour tote with side snaps closed. I think the one I saw must have been ever so slightly misaligned - that plus the leather is thick, the sides have never been tucked in before so it was a struggle but the side snap would NOT click closed, not at all. I will have to go back to see if they have this tote in any other colours and/or if there's another one in clay.

There's a thread here that might help answer your questions http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/31-hour-bag-men-894899.html
That green is so gorgeous! You're right, it's a great spring color, but it's muted enough (not too pastel-y) that i think it would transition into other seasons too
Such a tough decision!
I love the Phillip Lim bags, I recently bought a Phillip Lim Pashli in Blush. I bought it from a so called reputable online shop. However it didn't have a serial number or any additional tag. It does have a small envelope with a small booklet. I also notice slight color variations the bag like the straps and the actual body of the bag. Does anyone else notice his with a light colored Pashli, should it have a serial number? please HELP!!!!"I am really falling for this bag!! Was wondering if anyone here has one or has seen it IRL? Is it heavy, functional, thoughts...? Loving Reese's green as well as the taupe version. Seems like a pretty classic and refined tote with a bit of edge and funky detail!

Does anyone have the metallic copper Pashli? I have the mini, and it's ADORABLE. But the metallic effect seems to rub off in areas that sit against clothing etc. So annoying!

The same thing happened to me with my electric blue mini pashli
