The pashli is definitely not an it bag anymore but the silhouette is classic so it doesn't look dated. The resell value on the pashli is not that great but I would say that is a good thing because if you don't mind gently used bags you can score a good deal and it will is such a beautiful handbag with thick durable leather. I love my medium pashli and it is by far my favorite bag since it transitions nicely from office to casual wear and the quality is so nice, I get compliments on it all the time. The only thing is mini bags are on their way out but if that is your bag size preference regardless of fashion trends I say I get it, the pashli is a beautiful bag and I plan to use mine for years :).

Hello ladies, wanted to share my Pashli collection. Unfortunately I had to return the black cherry mini - it had too much brown in itand it looked more brown in some light then it did burgundy.
I amso sold the tiger print one and selling the taupe as it no longer works for my color scheme.

Hi. I have pictures of what I can fit inside over here if you want to check it out. I also review it and talk about the lock closure. You can also see how it fits on a 5'2 body. So if you want in depth details, check this out.

I need some insight. I´ve finally decided it was time to treat myself with the 3.1 Phillip Lim bag as my graduation gift to myself.
For as long as I can remember, I though that I wanted the large one. The girl I talked to today about bying it from, wrote "large" in the ad.

After reading a lot in this thread, I started getting second thoughts about bying the large one. And then I just realised that she is actually selling the medium, and it is in perfect condition.

Now I am just confused, not sure what size I should go for. Keep looking for the large one or go for the medium?

I wanted the large one so that I could fit my Macbook pro 15", but I am afraid that I should be carrying around my 15" in that bag anyway.
I do like the idea of the medium, since I see myself using it on a more regular basis.
On the other hand, I am a workaholic and my computer is kind of my third hand. Even though, again. I do not carry it with me everywhere ;-)

I've never been so unsure my entire life. Finally I decided to get the bag and I am super excited, which is why I am probably not thinking clearly.

Any expert insight? :angel:

I have a medium pashli right now and my 13" Macbook fits perfectly in it. If fitting a 15" is a priority, get a large because the sides of a medium Pashli will not fit the 15" if you want to close the bag. If you are okay with leaving the bag open and carrying it kind of like a tote, I think a 15" would fit the M if you put it in on the short side but the laptop would probably stick out. (does this make sense? )

However, the Pashli is already a heavy bag and carrying a Macbook pro in it would make it even heavier. Just another thing you should think about.

Also, imo, the Medium size is comparable to a large purse from other brands. I've seen the large irl and it is hugeee. I'm 5"3 for reference. Can you carry your laptop in a separate bag when you go to work? Do you intend to use the Pashli more for work or general everyday use? If for everyday, I would go with the M. But if it's intended more for work and the laptop, I would get the L.

Hi, I just bought a phillip lim bag last month. I only used it for five times and I the back part of the bag has already become like this. How come it become like this? Is it possible the cause of this because I wiped it with a wet tissue?

TBH, I don't think it happened because you wiped it with a wet wipe. I've had mines for years now and have never had any issues with using wet wipes on it. It looks like it rubbed against something rough to me. Did this occur on any other part of the bag? Is this the only section you wiped with a wet wipe (if it is it might be the reason).

I have mine for more than 5 years, i used to take it very often but not recent couple of years, but it is still in perfect condition, from what I saw in your photo, it looks like the leather has been kind of bleached and faded out by some chemical stuff.

Hi gossipkween,
I saw the mini in cashew in person today and it's a beautiful colour. It's not too beige or white, just a really lovely neutral but not boring colour. Have you purchased a pashli?

If anyone has a light coloured Pashli can you please comment on colour transfer? Apologies if this has already been discussed.... I should probably go back through the thread to find out.....
