It’s a bag I’ve long admired, which is also why I’m puzzled as to the reason I see so few on the arms of ladies in Singapore. The shape is pretty interesting, the pair of zips in the front allowing you to make the bag a tad wider. It’s also pretty sizeable, the one in medium measuring 32 cm across by 28 cm. You could carry it over your arm, or across the body (and over the shoulder) by way of its detachable shoulder sling.

For F/W13 Phillip Lim released a Pashli in shark-embossed leather which I do think is rather divine, textured and almost shimmery, and looking even better against gold-tone hardware on the bag’s front clasp and zips. Priced at GBP805 (or around SGD1560 before your tax rebate if you’re making the purchase outside of the UK), you can pick one up now via Net-A-Porter.

And if the one in medium is neither here nor there for you, NAP also stocks the Pashli in mini or large sizes in other colours, so do have a look there.
