Question What is this bag I saw...SEE?
I was at Saks today and by chance spotted a bag that was marked as a "See by Chloe" but with no other name on the tag (or maybe I didn't see it). I know nothing about Chloe bags except for the celebrity bags, so I came here to search but TPF won't let me because "see" it's too much of a common word. So after checking out a few threads at the Ref Library, I gave up, and I'm hoping someone here might recognize it from my crazy description

-- It was a shoulder bag/tote-like thing with an odd shape, kinda like a pear, long (N/S).

-- The leather was glazed and taupe in color.

-- It had a funky, mesh-like or basket-like outside pocket on the front that reminded me of car ashtrays (I think kuz how it opened).

-- The smell of the leather was D-Vine!

HELP!

HI karmenzofia, The 'See by Chloe' line is a more affordable Chloe line.
Its still not that cheap by any means but more so than the premier line.
I dont know if any of the ladies here have any, i haven't seen any posts or any mentioned. Actually one of the ladies did buy a purple or blue one last year with loads of zips that have different coloured teeth. It looks like the daytripper in this link.

Heres a few in this site. Just for photo reference, i dont know if they sell genuine bags.

Thank you soooo much Rowe, for chiming in. I'm stupid. I should've asked around at the store, but so often the SAs themselves don't know the names of the bags even when they stick to a brand or two. I didn't see it at shopstyle, but I'll keep looking around.

Thanks Lescoy! I've looked e v e r y w h e r e, and all I've found are not-so-nice "See by Chloe" bags. This one was much nicer the others I've seen. Why, oh, why did I leave the store without more info or a clearer picture? Actually, my feet were hurting--that's probably why :P

I'll keep looking.

He he, a nice See by Chloe bag? I'm intrigued. Have you tried the Chloe website?
