It seems that celebrities have embraced the hip, funky style of See by Chloe. The spin-off of famous designer house Chloe, See by Chloe is aimed at a younger crowd and maintains a more casual design sensibility overall than its parent company. Their handbags have been spotted on many youthful celebrity shoulders including the uber-stylish gals of Gossip Girl Blake Lively and Leighton Meester as well as new mom Jessica Alba.
The bag most often seen on these young stars is the Daytripper, a See by Chloe original that is quickly gaining popularity due to its multiple celeb sightings. The ultra large purse, available in satchel or clutch sizes, has most recently been released in a bright orange with light brown trim.
The apricot-colored leather is ideal for the upcoming spring season and, though not a neutral, will probably surprise you with its versatility. However, if you find yourself turned off by the tangerine tone, this See by Chloe also comes in black, blue, and red.
The slouchy Daytripper bag features tons of storage for longs days out including several exterior pockets. On the outside, two zippered pockets and two slip pockets with magnetic closure make this purse ideal for shopping trips and maybe even for overnight stays if you pack lightly.
One of the details that shows See by Chloe’s funkier style is the mix of metals on the front zippers. Though not overly obvious until closer inspection, the gold and bronze-colored teeth on these closures are an unusual touch that wouldn’t be seen on a traditional Chloe bag like the Heloise. For another interesting touch, the zippers close with a linked three-piece zipper pull with each piece bearing one of the words of the brand. The See by Chloe Daytripper shoulder bag retails for $750.
