Hi all,

I just received my Pashli in Olive colour (medium size). I purchased from Shopbop.
After I took the bag out of the dust bag, the leather does not have the normal leather smell. I honestly cant describe the smell- umm something like plastic strong chemical?!?. I own quite a few leather handbags (Michael Kors, Furla, Marc Jacobs, Bally, Prada) so i find it strange that this bag is quite different.
Its advertised as "Cowhide Leather" , did they treat the leather and it smells that way u rekon?
Im trying not to freak out, Ive used it for a few days and hoping the smell would die down a bit, but it hasnt. I leave it in my bedroom and i come back and i can actually smell it from a distance!
Is there a way to get rid of that smell?
Do i need to put some conditioner or something!!!
Please help me put my mind to rest !!
I dont know if anyone had posted a similar comment as I havent been able to find anything.

Thanks heaps!!!

I actually cant see why what was said is wrong?
Its reasonable advice that if youre not happy with it you should return it and that was advice/opinion given on your issue that you posted requesting as such. No one else has come forward with the same issue but even if they did it seems you would be bothered by it anyway so its perfectly reasonable advice to suggest returning it if you are unhappy.
I am puzzled as to why that was the wrong thing to say... after all you posted on a public forum and got a reasonable solution to the issue, if youre not happy with that solution either dont do it but I hardly think it was disrespectful in any way...
I agree. I think the suggestion was an honest one and you should in no way feel threatened or unhappy. This is indeed a public forum and we are all trying to help. :)
 
Hi, how long did you wait to receive a confirmation email? I ordered a Ryder but still haven't received an order confirmation after almost 1 day :cry:

Hi!
I'm so sorry for the delay in responding. I ordered my bag on November 28 and got a confirmation the same day. I'm sure that you'll get confirmation soon--if not already?

Just ordered crimson medium from the Phillip lim website. So excited! Thanks for you guys sharing information, I am able to get the bag at almost half the price. I was eyeing this for a while, but was just not wanting to pay full price after learning what I don't actually have to pay full price here. Anyhow, super excited. Can't wait for it to get there. And again. Thx!!!

So glad that you'll be getting your pashli! It is gorgeous!

Lucky you! please post pics when it arrives..I'd like a crimson too
 
Looks great on you!!! How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking? I am about 5'4 and feel like the large pashli is doable but still a pretty big bag on me.

Have you tried out the medium size? I am just under 5' and feel like the medium is still very large on me but it's a nice size. I think the large would look like luggage on me.
