to shop / {purse diaries} clare vivier petit simple tote review

The new Clare V petit simple tote in perforated leather is trim, structured, and chic. (And it’s included in the Shopbop site-wide up to 25% off promotion.)

Step back to get the full picture.

My APC Half Moon looks like a behemoth despite it being similar in volume. It’s the extra centimeters on the width and depth.

There is a magnetic closure on top! And it fits an iPad mini perfectly.

Raw edges. It is slim and glides against the body.

And you have to not mind the puckering on the corners (I presume from storing without any stuffing).

Perfect as a simple, casual black crossbody bag.

Update: I ended up returning it. Cute, but as you can see I’ve been making a number of handbag purchases of late and had to prioritize!
