3.1 Phillip Lim is an American fashion brand founded by Phillip Lim and Wen Zhou in 2005 in New York. The brand name references Lim’s lucky number and has become synonymous with accessible luxury that bridges downtown cool with uptown polish.
Lim’s designs are known for their sharp tailoring, unexpected details, and a refined approach to modern dressing. The Pashli satchel became one of the defining ‘It bags’ of the 2010s, cementing the brand’s accessories credentials.
