I had been on the hunt for a well made leather handbag for some months. I looked at some of the “luxury” brands for inspiration - the most important thing to me was the construction of the bag and the quality of the leather. I looked at second hand luxury goods and nothing I saw was either within my budget or fit my liking - being an older goth woman, it still had to fit my aesthetic. I happened to be scrolling on Instagram and after going down a rabbit hole found Seel by pure accident. At first I was thinking that I would purchase a black Saturn Rising bag after looking at all of the specs—it made the most sense to me to purchase that bag, until it didn’t. I sat on the idea and further scrolled through the IG to see the Pale Alligator Little Fang. Immediately smitten I scrolled to see more photos and videos of it and then eventually made my way to the website and lo and behold it was still available to purchase. What amazing luck! I added to cart and the beautiful little beast made its way home to me a little over a week ago now. I cannot begin to express to you the magnificence of the craftsmanship of this bag. Both the alligator and vacchetta leather are absolutely exquisite. Every detail of this bag is beautiful (and smells divine). I am such a fan of small businesses and handmade goods, so I am over the moon that I was able to purchase this piece from Jamie, who is also quite fabulous as well as being badass talented.
TL;DR you would be lucky to own any bag by this company but more importantly if you want an exceptional bag made of exotic leather - you should contact Jamie for a bespoke piece. This will not be my only bag from Seel, I can assure you of that.
