3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli

Just a quick little post of materialism, if I may… because pretty bags make for pretty photos, right?

Meet my new leading lady, the aubergine 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel (available at Barney’s and Sak’s).

There’s a bit of a story behind this bag. After reaching a few goals I’d set for corals + cognacs last year (and consigning a few of my other bags to “fundraise”), I finally bit the bullet and purchased my Phillip Lim Pashli in early October.

After a three months of backorder nightmare with Nordstrom, she finally arrived at my doorstep. (*Jessica and I have sadly been debating this: Do you refer to your handbags as a “she” or “he?” If neither and you think I’m insane, chalk it up and just keep reading.)

When shopping for an investment bag, you always run the a risk of buying an “It Bag” and having it be on the out within the next season; however, the Phillip Lim Pashli has under-the-radar branding and a perfect berry palette that’s maintained my interest for more than a year now, so I can say for sure the hype isn’t a purchasing factor.

Judging from Instagram feedback, it seems I’m not alone in my bag lust. I hope you like it, because you’ll be seeing it in a lot of upcoming outfit posts!

Any purchases you’re saving up for at the moment?

  1. OMG. My heart is fluttering. He/She is a beauty. Can’t wait to pet him/her when he/she’s at my apartment in a few weeks!

    So jealz — you deserve it, Hallie! xo

  2. You and Jess are funny… But really… My bags are all she’s (except for my black PS11 which is a he, naturally).

  3. LOVEEE!!! I’m actually currently saving up for a bag as well!! It’s going to be my post no-shopping-for-lent reward! And I’m seriously contemplating a Pashli or the two toned 31 hour bag. I can’t decide!!

    Anyway - SHE is beautiful, that’s my favorite color in the Pashli! And I definitely say she…agreeing with Lia, way to pretty to be a he! :)

  4. That bag is gorgeous, and I am sure it will last a long time. I know exactly how you feel about buying an investment piece like this. I am waiting until I graduate and then I am getting a Chanel :)
