See by Chloé Doggy Tote | Hot Pink Designer Canvas Carryall With Quirky Print

Posted on: Aug 23

I thought for sure that we were beginning to see the last of the neon color craze, but then I found this brand new canvas tote by Chloé. See by Chloé's offerings are usually on the very edge of mass market trends, but this time they may be just a minute too late.

Not that a color should necessarily be relegated to trend fodder, but let's be honest. Since neons were everywhere in 2008, I can't help but think "last year" when I look at this. The graphic is quirky and cute, but the black on hot pink punk lite print only enhances its past tense appearance.

It does satisfy my personal requirement that a tote cost less than $100, but you'll find it for sale for as high as $145, so be aware. It really shouldn't cost that much, considering that it is unlined and contains no interior pockets or any other organizational features.

Also on my list of complaints is the horribly tacky chain hanging from the printed dog's neck. It really looks like an accessory made for children. If it was made for little ones I might feel differently about it. The cutesy color and quirky details would all make a little more sense. But for grown women with the pocket change to fund a hundred dollar carryall? I don't think so.
