7 Chi Jen Mini Shoulder Bag | Small Modern Asymmetrical Seam Detail Handbag

1 min read

After the bold design of its Boston Tie-Dyed satchel, the classic colors of 7 Chi’s Jen Mini Shoulder Bag took me by surprise. But look a little harder and it’s easy to spot the brand’s typical modern style.

While its silhouette looks traditionally boxy from a distance, the Jen is all about the angles. The luxury leather body is enhanced with running bond-pattern seaming. It reminds me a bit of roof tiles, or even a subtle patchwork; whatever it is I love the unique texture it delivers. The diagonal seams are complemented by an asymmetrical dual entry, which pops in gold.

Mini is really a relative term here. While the Jen is smaller than many shoulder bags on the market, it should have enough space for essentials and even a few luxuries if you know how to pack it. Rather than really limit us, the Jen’s size just makes it look more sophisticated and chic than a larger shoulder bag. Packrats may struggle, but I think the downsized dimensions will come as a pleasant change of pace for most bagistas.

The Jen can easily make the day to night transition with very little fuss. Attach the long cross-body strap for a contemporary everyday look. Then switch to the shorter woven chain strap once night falls. Both straps are fully removable to keep the design clean.

If you’re wavering, the price is sure to be the clincher. It’s rare to find such a stylish handbag priced at less than $100, but to see one made of real leather at this price point is astounding.
