See by Chloe Cherry Cross Body Sling
Originally launched as a denim line in 2001, the See by Chloé brand was a response to the success of denim and jersey pieces in the Chloé collection. While there aren’t many See by Chloe handbags that make me take a second look, the Cherry Small Metallic Cross Body Sling did just that! Softly shaped with a little bit of edge, I’m loving this one!
This cute little cross body is the darling sibling to the Cherry Large version. This little bag packs alot of “WOW” for it’s small size. Gorgeous pebbled leather featuring gold metallic accents. I really love how they “pop” against the black. Two zippered pockets on the front provide an interesting design element without being overwhelming. A short tasseled drawstring at the top of the bag also provides another design element that provides stylish detail without being too long and overpowering the scale of the bag. I love the pleating on the sides of the bag is it gives the bag a soft rounded shape rather than a hard line geometric shape. It’s almost like carrying a little pillow! small front flap has a magnetic closure so it doesn’t stay open.
The black color is my favorite choice for this bag as it’s versatile enough for all seasons as well as day or night! The black version also features my favorite color as an added bonus! There is a stunning royal blue fabric interior! Surprisingly roomy, this bag measures 9″H x 12″L x 2.5″D. There’s plenty of room for everything you need and it’s hands-free! The 26″ strap drop is ample length for a comfortable cross body style. I’m on the shorter side, so I think I’d like this length best for mid-height to taller girls. Never let your bag hit on the widest part of your body. Simply not flattering.
While I still haven’t made an investment yet in a cross body style, this one is making it challenging to choose between my faves! A great buy for $470 here at Shopbop.com

I’m sure that this bag will be on the sale rack by the end of the summer. I’m going to hold out until then :)
What an adorable little purse. The cross-body style is really amazing but it’s a trend to me that I would get sick of. What I love about this bag is it appears that the strap can be adjusted to just a regular shoulder strap.
I’m not a big fan of cross body bags but I have to admit that this one is really cute. I really like the zippers on the front with the small front flap. I would definitely go for the black one since as you said it can be used every day and every night. Love it!
I like the little tassel detailing. I haven’t seen anything like it before.
Look for less? :\
I love the black leather combined with the electric blue interior. So fabulous!
I must get this bag in the beige color~
Awesome! If you do get it, post a modeling pic over at thebagforum.com
Would love to see it!
Does this come in other colors? I’m loving bright bags for spring.
There is a strawberry color at shopbop and white at saks.com.
Great review!
I would love to have this bag, but that price tag is a little bit out of my range. do you guys think it will hit the sale section soon?
