Hello beautiful people !

I need your help to choose my next bag purchase :smile1:

I am looking at two bags right now :

- the 3.1 Phillip Lim mini Pashli bag in black

or

- the small Céline trio bag in black as well

I would love to have both, but for now I have to choose one.

I used to have a regular Pashli bag and sold it so I have been thinking about the mini version ever since. But I heard the strap is pretty long, and I am small, so not sure about that. I really love the shape though and it would look great with many outfits. This bag is probably the younger, casual option.

Recently, I saw the trio bag again and fell in love with its simplicity. I think it would go with just any outfit, it is more classy and would be my first Céline. I am also worried about the strap, because I heard it often breaks. This one is more of a classic piece to invest in.

I don't know what to do, can you please help me by giving me your opinion ?


Thank you so much ! :kiss:
 
Definitely the Celine. I like Philip Lim's designs but never really liked the Pashli much. I know it is his popular design but...

The trio is simple and will go well with anything.
 
Céline !
Classy, Italian made, prestigious house![emoji7][emoji7]



Celine from me. I don't have both but I'm more interested in the Celine design. although I tried it on and think the strap is too small too.

Trio! I think its so practical and won't date



Definitely the trio.


Thank you so much for your advice ! [emoji4] I think Celine is the right choice ! Now I am just worried about the strap breaking on the trio (I have heard that a lot).
 
I have a gorgeous summer coloured lemony mini Pashli which followed me back to London all the way from the fashion show mall in Vegas [emoji6]

Whilst I don't have a Celine Trio, I did purchase the Kors Bedford instead [emoji15] from the outlet at Bicester Village in the UK - (Bedford does not separate).

Strangely thou I have not used either although I hope to due to their summery colours bring them out today even.

I wanted to suggest an article here worth reading as I soo liked the Annabel Ingall JoJo (which does separate) when I saw it in the NYC store at Macy's in such fab colours - I wanted aubergine! See linky below...

I would say Pashli is better for shorter women especially worn crossbody but Celine I find expensive versus Annabel alternative which I find nicer too.

Thanks ezabuk ! All this info is great !! I actually really like the Annabel JoJo bag, it is gorgeous in tangerine, but it isn't available on revolve anymore.. I'll try to see what I can find.

Your bags look awesome and will be perfect for the summer [emoji4]

I was thinking of investing in a piece that can be worn year round, with anything and for any occasion that's also why I almost always go for black, and I don't know if the JoJo comes in black..but you are right Celine is a tad expensive !
 
Oh you are most welcome - and yes really I find Annabel Jojo to be worth it plus I saw it in black at Macy's albeit Jojo comes in a couple of gorgeous blues as well as more colours still so worth a splash of tangerine I think - plus at this price you could get more than one and popper them together in alternate colours as you please! Black & Tangerine sounds delicious...


Ps I think it was Bloomingdales rather than Macy's btw - I'm not from USA so get mixed up with us dept store names as we barely have any decent ones in London is Harrods or selfridges
