See by Chloé is a diffusion line of the popular designer brand, Chloé – think of it as the little sister of Chloé, where prices are a little more affordable.
See by Chloé was launched by incredible designer Phoebe Philo who wanted this extension of the Chloé brand to appeal more to young women, but with the same French cool-girl chic that Chloé has become known for.

14. Kurt Geiger
There are loads of patterned bags available from Kate Spade, which makes the brand really unique, but lucky for you, we have found a great alternative in Kurt Geiger if you are after a bag with a bold print.
As you can see from the Rainbow Shop Kensington Leather Crossbody Bag, Kurt Geiger is known for their bright, rainbow designs that create really eye-catching bags.
But like Kate Spade, they also produce more toned down bags with plush leathers and a textural finish – like the Kensington Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag. There really is an option for everyone.
