3.1 Phillip Lim is normally a brand that we spend more time discussing over at PurseBlog because they occupy a similar odd space between the “contemporary” and “premier” designer price points as Alexander Wang; simply put, they’re usually a little more expensive than the bags we feature in this space. Luckily for price-conscious fashionistas, the 3.1 Phillip Lim Minnie Lambskin Satchel comes in below the price point that we’d normally expect to see from Lim.
When I look at this bag, I can’t help but think of how well it will age. Lambskin is already supple and luxurious straight out of the box, but this type of finish and color always look better with a little bit of wear and tear. Because this design is so classic and timeless, you’ll be able to enjoy the bag for years to come without wondering whether you look like you’re wearing last season’s bag; this design is seasonless. Buy through Nordstrom for $495.
Not crazy about the color, but the bag looks phenomenal. (ipad)
I agree with Kat P… would consider it in a more bold colour (ipad)
very nice-and I actually like the bold color (ipad)
Not for me (ipad)
I like the color. It is a yellow that you can wear year round, not only in the summer. (iPad)
Great bag for the price, but its timelessness makes the “contemporary” label given to lower-priced designers all the more confusing to me. (ipad)
It’s hard to find a diplomatic way to say “cheaper.” That’s why I so often put “contemporary” in scare quotes when I use it, it’s such a euphemism.
Amanda, a “contemporary line” means a “cheaper line” in your vocabulary? I didn’t realize that you equate a style type with a price-range. Good to know. By the way, this bag also comes in black.
Classic and it will wear well (ipad)
I find it a little meh, personally (ipad)
the design is pleasing but the color, for me. isn’t. (ipad)
I love the concept and shape. But the color is a little weird. I can’t decide if it’s orange, yellow, or something in the brown family. (iPad)
The color is called “amber”. And it also comes in black.
Love the pop of color (ipad)
I’d like to see it IRL. (ipad)
How big is this bag? It looks like it would be a great bag for work. (ipad)
Like the bag, but I always find opening and closing flap with buckle to be a pain. (ipad)
Like the color (ipad)
I love that colour – such a beautiful mustard yellow.
I want this, huge fan of mustard yellow (iPad)
like the top handle and flap…but nothing else (ipad)
colors okay…a little too rich for me (ipad)
Looks lovely, plain but looks inviting with that smooth lambskin. (ipad)
I love this color! It screams fall with the leaves changing colors and leather jackets lol. I would def. carry this bag and buy it in black as well (ipad)
