It's Here!

As a (very) late birthday present I got the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli bag that I have been drooling over for months. I was deciding between taupe, jade, red and navy (all with gold hardware) and ultimately decided on the red. It came on Friday afternoon and I couldn't be happier. The bag is sold for $875 at Barneys, Saks and others which seems steep but if you compare it to lookalike bag the Celine Luggage tote, which goes for over $2000, it's a real steal!

 

Here's mine in red. Isn't is gorg??

They also come in minis which are pretty adorable.
