I always have such high hopes for See by Chloe’s bags, but season after season, they continue to leave me wanting something a little different. Or, in the case of the See by Chloe Poya Mini Bag, a lot different.

This little purse certainly would be better in black and probably would be better in almost any color other than the ones before us, but alas, this is what we have to evaluate. For $300, you can do a lot better. (more…)

Well, nothing. We previously reviewed the See by Chloe Slouchy Drawstring Crossbody Bag, loving it for its shape and lusciously soft-looking leather. Now, See by Chloe has made a mini version of the same bag- if there’s one thing I just can’t resist, it’s mini things.

So besides the fact that this See by Chloe Cherry Mini Bag is miniature (yes – just like mini M&Ms and tiny notebooks, I’m not over it), I know that this patterned version is adorable because I spotted it over the shoulder of a trendy girl in the meatpacking district. Even though the leopard print might look a bit kitschy with the spots not quite close enough, in person it is pretty adorable. (more…)

I talk a lot of smack about See by Chloé and I have no problem admitting it. For a diffusion line that comes from such a chic brand, SbC tends to turn out a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t carry even if it were given to me for free. There’s a significant aesthetic disconnect between the two brands, and it rarely works out in See by Chloé’s favor.

With the See by Chloe Cherry Zippered Purse, the brand has managed to create not only something that I’d carry, but something for which I might consider paying. It’s not very big, but I find myself in constant need of better organization and little pouches like this would be a stylish way to achieve just that. (more…)
