Hi everyone,

For those of you who has the Large pashli satchel, do you use it daily? Is it too big for a casual day/night out? Or is it more like work/functional purse? Can you please share a bit what do you use you pashli for? I am contemplating on exchanging my large for a medium, but not sure if the medium will be a more "appropriate" size fo me. As a reference, I'm 1.73 m tall, 60 kg. I'm definitely not petite, but the bag is Big on me. However the reference pictures that I could find on google make the medium pashli looks A LOT smaller than the large. I love big bags, and for daily use I wear my large Longchamp le pliage, which in size is not actually smaller than the large Pashli. Maybe I should keep my large and wear it often enough so that the leather will slouch? Help!!

Hi! I hope I can shed some light. I've been using mine daily, back and forth to work. I have taken it out shopping on the weekend, but I feel like it can get in the way. I love using it during the day to carry all my stuff. For a night out, I'd probably choose something small, unless I was doing a casual dinner. I wouldn't want to carry this bag around for a long period, that's for sure! I just fill it up, so it gets heavy ;). I'm 5'4 and this bag is pretty big for me but not "too big" to where it looks funny. To me, the medium is significantly smaller. I wouldn't want to trade my large for the medium, but I might get a medium to use when I don't want a big bag. Hope that helps!

BTW, mine is starting to slouch more on the sides because I leave the zippers about halfway down.

I've used it quite frequently over the past month and it still looks fantastic! When I rub my hand across the front flap, I don't see any flaking, but I have noticed that inside the bag there are white specks. The back panel is a smooth leather so it's a bit more delicate than the typical embossed Pashli leather.

I have literally used my medium cracked leather Pashli every single day for the last 2+ months and I am pretty shocked at how it's holding up - it still looks as perfect as the day I got it (Actually better!). I have not experienced any flaking or white specks at all and am SO pleased with this bag. Like most, I was a little cautious about how this leather would hold up, especially since the cracked leather is white. I love that the back of the bag is black so you don't have to worry about color transfer and the black cracks make any dirt or marks completely undetectable. The handles are also black, so you don't have to worry about dirty hands ruining the handles either. It's like they strategically thought about these things when making this bag! Haha.

I loved the bag so much from the moment I laid eyes on her and just had to take the risk and pull the trigger and I am SO glad that I did, as I can't get enough of this bag! Definitely my baby/pride and joy at the moment and I get so many compliments on this bag it's crazy! I truly feel like you will not regret purchasing this Pashli. It's so different and edgy while still having classic lines and a sophisticated vibe. Uhhh, can you tell that I am obsessed with mine yet? LOL! Good luck and keep us posted if you decide to take the plunge! ;)

Wow thank you! That was really helpful! I was so close to purchasing the last one from Shopbop but I was disappointed they didn't include this in the F&F sale so it was quite expensive for me. It took me a lot of self control to resist buying this bag haha! I was hoping they would come out with the black crackled leather and white smooth leather or other colors, I'm more of a dark colored bag person and feels like they suit my lifestyle and clothes better

Aw man, tell me about it! I also was sad to see the 3.1 Phillip Lim exclusion for the Shopbop F&F sale. I toats would have made a purchase since I have a birthday looming and couldn't possibly let it pass without acquiring a new handbag (or two, mwahaha)! Lol. I am still contemplating which Pashli will be next on my list, since all of the styles/colors I seem to be drawn to are discontinued from past seasons. Like you, I am typically a dark handbag gal myself (I would say 90% of my bags are black, the other 10% are probably gray, lol) which is why it was so strange that I was so taken with the cracked white leather. If it didn't have so much black leather on the bag, I am not sure I would've been as in love with it. I was a punk rock kid back in the day, and even though I am almost 30 (yikes!) and have become more 'refined' over the years, I still have to inject a little rock and roll edge into everything I wear so this bag was perfect for my lifestyle (I work in corporate America by day, but am a true rocker by heart! haha).

Not sure if you are into Alexander Wang, but about a few weeks after I got my Pashli I was on the AW site randomly one day and saw that they had a Prisma wallet that is (ironically) black with white (more of a cream/light tan IRL) cracked leather. I had to scoop it up to match my Pashli immediately. I truly adore the wallet and love the combo since it's the opposite of the bag but not TOO matchy matchy. I know it's not a Pashli, but AW makes a few bags/accessories in the same leather if you are interested in a black cracked leather option. You should check it out!

Oh, and I am happy to post a photo of my Pashli with the Prisma wallet for reference if you are curious to see what I mean, just let me know :)

Could you post some modeling pictures of how you wear it with outfits? Now I think about it, maybe I should've bought yesterday but dang I got other priorities in my life haha! I do know Alexander Wang, his bags are beautiful and very edgy! I actually have a Diego bucket bag in black with silver hardware, I don't carry it much though because it's super heavy from the bottom studs. I think I saw that picture of Prisma wallet in other thread, was it the one that have the metal parts in the two bottom corners??

Finally... Modeling pic of my fab pashli min in cloud! Thank you so much to all of you ladies for helping me select size. I adore the mini... I have plenty of medium bags (Bal Cities, Celine mini and trapeze, Fendi 2Jours), so this was absolutely perfect. I can fit a ton in it! My LV Insolite wallet, small hairbrush, lipstick, and car key. Sometimes it gives me problems when I try to fasten it, but I believe all of the bags do that occasionally. I love the cloud color... It is the perfect pastel for spring and is light enough that it goes with almost anything. Will be featuring it on my blog, Palm and Peachtree later this week! Link is below in signature! :)

I have denim in the medium. I wear jeans ALL the time, dark jeans, light jeans, black jeans - never had an issue with colour transfer. Although I am wary of it because I own lighter bags so I dont let any bag constantly rub against my clothes but there are times where it cant be helped and so far I have not had any issues with the denim.

I have black in medium and taupe in large. I thought the large was hella big at first but it's kinda growing on me. It tends to be heavy when I have my laptop inside but I'm loving the size 😁😬❤️😍

I was thinking of doing the same thing! I also have a black large Pashli that is an early model which does not have the extra strap. I recently bought two Medium Pashlis over the last few months and LOVE the size, so I was thinking of selling my large black for the medium black with the extra strap but am not sure! Can't seem to decide and keep going back and forth, lol. I love the size of the medium but think maybe having the large size is good to have just in case. Are you happy with your decision? I assume yes, because your black medium is beautiful! :)

I think the blush looks beautiful against the silver hardware! Although the color transfer would make me nervous, I am sure if anyone has experienced color transfer with this color or not. Regardless, I prefer neutrals as I think they have more longevity as they tend to match more outfits/items of clothing so the blush would be my choice hands down over the blue (not really a fan of the baby blue to be honest). Good luck and post pictures when you decide! :)

I'm so torn between the mini and medium. I'm not much of a handbag girl and usually only purchase shoes so this will be my first big handbag purchase ever. This will be my every day bag for work which makes me want the medium. But I know on the weekends I would rather have the mini because that fits better with my actual lifestyle. I'm so torn! I guess I'll have to go see them in person. I'm very petite so I'm worried I won't be able to pull it off. The handbag I've been carrying for the past two years is pretty small. If I can't make a decision I'm just going to get the Rockstuds I've been eyeing lol
