Chocolate’s created a purse that’s as pretty as a picture with the Sevina.
The oversized velvet bow acts as a cherry on top of this simply shaped cross-body. It might be overly flamboyant, but strip it away and the Sevina would be too easy to overlook. Chocolate’s tempered its effect somewhat by choosing gentle hues like soft gray and mellow taupe, but there’s still no ignoring the feminine feature.
The bow suckers us in but the Sevina’s clever design keeps us interested. The zippered interior pocket and pair of open pouches is generous for a bag so small. Pairing a magnetic snap with a zipper makes the Sevina doubly secure. The strap could stand to be wider, but at least attached to a bag so small it shouldn’t drag on our shoulder.
For me the Sevina’s materials are the biggest disappointment. I have no problem with manmade alternatives to leather in theory, but they shouldn’t be as thin and shiny as this synthetic. We expect compromises for $59, but I’d rather splash out on a more polished look.
