Hello everyone! I am so torn between the mini and medium size pashli. I feel like the mini is all the room I need, and I already have a good number of medium/large handbags...but am still having difficulty making a decision. I feel like i might want the option of fitting more stuff in my bag? Ahh decisions! Has anyone gotten the mini and ended up regretting it and got the medium in exchange, or vice versa?

I think the mini pashli is super cute and would love an orange one, but I'm not much for the larger ones. I feel the larger look kind of "unfinished" in a way.

It is really cute but there is definitely nothing wrong with the bigger two. After having all three sizes the medium is probably the best, but the mini is way to small to be practical IMO. Its also not as in proportion as the others. Had this annoying habit of flipping my stuff out onto the road.

Yes, I had the mini. It was my first because it was on sale. I wanted to carry my wallet, phone, keys and sunnies. I couldnt fit my sunnies in their case and I wasnt putting them in without it. I could have done it if I traded my wallet for a coin purse but didnt want to do that.
It also used to flip when I picked it up and twice my stuff fell out onto the road after getting something out.
I bought the medium and was instantly in love. Its not TOO big just big enough for everything and didnt tip over. I sold my mini the day I got the medium. And now have a large.
Havent missed the mini for a second.

Thanks, Jaime. That actually helps the decision making process IMMENSELY. I was actually nervous that the medium might have that "tipping over" effect, but I'm relieved to hear that yours doesn't. MelSoldera on youtube made a video about her mini pashli and I am unsure at how she was able to fit so many things in there! And I have a small handbag that does that flip you're talking about….no thank you! I think I'm on my way to a medium… :cool: Thanks!

I know Ive read even on this thread the amount of stuff people were fitting and was amazed because I definitely couldnt. I think a perfect small size would be between the current small and medium. But the small now is just too small for me. The reason for tipping I am assuming is the fact the top is heavier than the bottom, like the flap with hardwear is heavier than the bottom half and the stuff in it is pretty much at the brim so it just flipped backwards. Where as the medium has more weight in the bottom being longer and having all the stuff located down the bottom. Also gives that extra room should you need to throw something unexpected in.
I still think they look cute but just not practical.

Sorry for the late reply but I actually used my chloe for the first week of school bd switched over to my Pashli this week. It is perfect! It does get a little heavy bc I have my 11" Mac, notebook, folder, and all my other stuff. I surprisingly use the long strap. At first I thought it would be too long and awkward but it has proven to be very handy when I'm carrying my lunch bag and coffee.

Only negative is probably getting in and put bc when I use the long strap, I tie the handles together with that buckle to they don't flap around. But it's not anything I can't live with.

It really is a great bag! Hope everyone enjoy their pashlis! :-)

Thanks for the reply! It sounds like its pretty sturdy and did you use it with very little things inside, too? Im wondering if it slouches or stay structured if you dont fill it up all the way

Yeah I have 2 small pencil case, a large wallet, brush, lotion, etc. I don't unzip the 2 zippers bc I don't see a point to it and I like the shape of it zipped better. And even when it's not filled up, it stays structured. I think I may be one of the very few that uses the lock...I'm not sure if that helps w keeping it's structured look.
