Honestly I was surprised that it even popped up this late in. We are already at the last cut and the pashlis sold out in the first few days so its come back pretty late.
Ive realised from returning things myself and seeing how long they take to pop up on the site what they seem to do it process all returns for the day then put everything that has come back onto the site at one time. So once I notice something new I check out the bags, shoes, accessories etc again and there is always stuff back there that wasnt earlier, or I would have missed the pashli because as stated before I dont need it and probably shouldnt have bought it but the price made me.
 
Can someone remind me if Phillip Lim has just one annual sale in December/Jan where seasonal colors get marked down? Or do they have a sale in the summer as well? I'm talking their website and boutiques.

And if anyone grabs a pashli backpack report back on how you like it unless I snatch one before you!
 
I needed a new bag for work everyday and I fell in love with the pashli. I really though it would be perfect, but once I put my shoes, lunch, pencil case, laptop in it, it's too heavy for me to carry.

I would love to keep it and use it on days where I don't carry as much (since I absolutely love the look of it) - but I'm in need of a work purse!! So I guess I'll have to sell it and find something else :(
i'm in the same boat as you! i'm torn between the pashli and the thela, and i need a bag that i can load up for work (macbook pro, books, pencil-case, etc). i'm not sure how well the thela would hold up or if it will sag :(

I was deciding between the two as well and ended up getting the Pashli. It's heavy but all my leather bags are about this weight, give or take. And shopbop shows the thela being heavier than this though...

The Pashli to me is defo more 'formal' for work but can be played down, the thela, while gorgeous, can be a little oversized since it's huge but has no structure like the Pashli! I use it for work and meetings too. I bring it everywhere (shopping, church, work). Hope this helps! :)

I sold my pashli. There was no way I was going to carry it everyday. The bag became too heavy for my forearm (I had a numb forearm after a day!) and the messenger strap is very badly located in the back - it pulls the bag from the back and Im not sure how long it would last before the little hooks snatched off. Very unfortunate for such a pretty bag.

I noticed the weight on shopbop too. But I'm pretty sure it's inaccurate. :S the thela can't be heavier than the pashli !
 
Received my crimson pashli today, absolutely love it. Was unsure if I'd keep it because I don't need it but it really is a good size. Would never have picked a large if not for the price but the fact I can fit my laptop and all my stuff is awesome.
I'm used to heavy bags, that doesn't bother me.
 
My Medium Pashli finally arrived today. I knew I should have bought it from Shopbop or some place that offers free shipping but only 3.1 Phillip Lim's website has the red one. I do not want to think of how much I paid for the shipping, the conversion of currency using PayPal which costs a plenty and also the taxes of my country. But all worth it!!! :happydance:
