Bag Review: Philip Lim Pashli

Everyone I know these days has been hankering for a Celine Luggage Tote. The demand for this style has become so much stronger in recent months, presumably also because it has become more difficult to get-- you know what it's like, not having what you want makes you want it even more :)

I'm personally not a big fan of the Celine phantom because it opens up too wide, but give me a fluo- colored luggage tote and I'm not going to say no. In fact I'll probably give you a hug and a kiss for giving me one *umm hint? LOL*.  There's another bag in the market that's been on the lips of fashionistas. The Philip Lim Pashli Croc- Effect Bag.

Honestly I'm not too sold on this style. Yet. I need more convincing.
I'm trying to figure out if it's because of the crocodile skin- effect leather or if it's the actual style that makes me not like this bag too much just yet. It's a pretty bag, don't get me wrong. But I would have liked this more if the handles were a tad longer, making it also possible for shoulder carry (like the Celine luggage tote).

Do you peeps remember the Luella Bartley Gisele bag, fairly similar in style to this bag with that flap? This bag initially reminded me of it, married with the Celine luggage. How do you feel about this bag? I still think I need a little more convincing, especially since this bag is a bit heavier than the Celine luggage tote too.

The Philip Lim Pashliicon is available for purchase now at Net-a-Portericon.
