The Inspiration

Behind every fashion item lies a story waiting to be told. Inspiring the creation of this small bag is the iconic Marcie line. The Saddlebag has deep 70s vibes and is super practical. This model's range of colors and shapes has a bohemian touch, perfect for all occasions. Chloe plays with masculine and feminine notes using lean top lines and a round silhouette.

The Marcie Saddle Bag

Chloe's Marcie saddle bag is a shoulder bag that can be styled crossbody or over the shoulder. The bag has an adjustable pin-buckle shoulder strap for ideal comfort and use. Suitable for your everyday use, the light green leather bag becomes the main item of your outfit. This model is a small bag (H6.5 x W7 x D3.5 in) with one large compartment to store your items.

The bag is available in a range of soft-toned colors that are easy to pair with everyday looks. I love to wear this bag over a long flowy dress in the summer for a casual and stylish appearance.

Made in Italy, the Marcie saddle bag is crafted from high-quality semi-aniline leather. The leather adds texture and quality to the bag's style with its grained appearance.

The bag is shaped in a round, almost shoe-horse shape. Its structured form gives it a medium thickness, allowing you to store more than necessary. On the front of the bag, you can notice structured piping and gray burnished edges, giving the bag a natural finish.

Chloe has opted for a minimalistic and almost Western design for this bag. The Antiqued gold-tone hardware adds a touch of elegance without being too bling or noticeable.

The logo is embossed into the front leather foldover flap, which locks into place with a tab-slot closure.

The interior of the bag lives up to the exterior design. Lined with twill, the interior has plenty of options to store your belongings, from a concealed patch pocket at the face and a card slot.

Why Investing In Luxury Bags Is Worth It.

Have you ever wondered why people invest in buying luxury handbags? Well, the truth is there are multiple reasons. Besides their beautiful appearance and high quality, investing in quality bags is not a loss. A bag can keep its value for years and become a collector's item when looked after correctly. Investing in one luxury item is worth a lifetime of trendy, lower-quality bags.

My Experience

The Marcie saddle bag has a massive place in my heart and was on my list of luxury bags for a long time. I adore the fun and relaxed vibe this bag has. Highly resistant to everyday activities, the leather looks and feels fantastic. I recommend this bag for those looking for a long-lasting and hands-free experience. The bag can fit a lot inside it and looks beautiful all year round. The Marcie saddle bag is available in various colors, but the faded green stays my favourite so far!
