The medium sells for $825 new so a savings of $75 for you depending on the condition (not commenting on authenticity - leaving that for the experts).
 
I was trying to sell my Pashli and the buyer came to my place to look at it.
She said it looks like a fake because the leather is not exactly same as the one she saw at Barneys and it doesn't have the tc code under the inner pocket.
I never knew that Pashli had a tc code number....
Does anyone has that? Can you guys please help me?
mine is from Saks online so I am planning to take it this weekend....but I can't do anything.....omg.....
Please help me guys....check your pashli and let me know if you guys have the tc code or serial number...
I will post a pictures later when I get home....
 
Dear Girls,

Could you kindly help me and see if the Oversized / Large Philipp Lim Shark Leather Satchel in Taupe that I have purchased is authentic. I was quite happy with it the first time but for some reason the bag's scent is bothering me. I does not smell like my usual other leather bags. According to the seller she bought this bag in October 2012 at Saks Fifth Avenue and has the papers to prove it. Anyway, wouldn't hurt if I check with you girls. Here are the pictures. These are from the seller. But the bag is with me and if you need more I can provide you with more.

Thanks in advance!!![/ATTACH]

So my jade Pashli from 3.1 PL arrived today to compare to my eBay purchase. Keeping in mind mine has scallops and the current season has smooth edges, everything else checks out. The only detail that is different is the "made in china" tag. The new one from PL does not have it. I've attached images from the older Pashli. Ladies, if you own a past season Pashlis, does your bag have this??
Hi there!

Did anyone reply to you regarding your question with the Made in China tag? I did get a Pashli bag, similar as yours in Taupe color. According to the seller it was purchased in Saks in Oct 2012. She did have the shipping receipt with her and gave it to me. Please refer to the attached photo.

But like yours mine has a made in china tag. Everything else checks out including the etchings. And like you I was bothered with the smell too. Did you find out if your jade pashli is authentic?

Hi everyone, I bought my first pashli about 2 weeks ago, I got it from eBay because I wanted to save some money but now I'm not sure that it's authentic. Everything looks just like the original pashli but the zipper rings do not have the "3.1 phillip lim" logo, the zipper pulls are leather but the bag didn't come with the long strap.

I told the seller I want my money back because it doesn't seem original, and she's telling me that it's completely authentic, that the first generation of pashli didn't come with the 3.1 phillip lim logo on the zipper rings, but if I'm not mistaken the first generation came with chains on the zippers, not leather straps right?

It was a good deal, if it's real of course I would love to keep it, but I'm not sure about it.

Oh yeah, and at one side of the bag, inside of the area that is covered when the zippers are up, there are some silver marks, like marks of the pattern.
 
Here are some photos!

This version (according to the seller) didn't come with the long shoulder strap.

No "3.1 Phillip Lim" on the zipper rings, also, didn't the first generation of pashlis come with chain straps instead of leather ones?

The silver marks I was talking about. Is this common? like, they would put a $900 bag for sale with this kind of mistakes?

Thank you so much for your help girls, the seller is refusing to refund me and she says to have a cc statement of 17 months ago as a proof of the authenticity.
