I had marked this as my shopping list since mid of 2018...after I saw this video, I dropped it from my list. Till I went Japan early this mth and saw the mini faye backpack...they were just too cute for you to resist...despite the worry of the same problem of the awkward sitting on the back, I got myself 1! Love it so much...And no regret...get the mini one if you really love the design of this bag... Quite light weight too!
Congrats, girl!! Amazing!! The mini is definitely super cute!! It even crossed my mind one time or another to get one, but was always skeptical of how much I could carry with it. I hope you enjoy your beautiful new bag
Thanks so much for this honest review. Definitely made me not interested in buying it anymore. 😅 I’m buying the $25 dupe on Amazon instead, because on that one the backpack straps can be completely removed and the opening actually has a zipper to keep my items inside. ❤️
Wohooo! good choice! I've seen some great dupes out there and was even contemplating it prior to getting this one. The zipper is soooo important, so I'm glad you were able to find the perfect bag! Enjoy!!
Omg this video was very helpful. I didn't realise this backpack would sit awkward. That is my one gripe with backpacks; they have to sit snug and close to my body. I had to punch extra holes on strips for some backpacks...but I would hesitate to do this on a almost 2k bag! Thanks again for the honest bag review!
Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful and informative video! I've been eyeing and debating between the Faye mini and small backpack. Unfortunately, it seems like Chloe stopped making these and I'd have to buy from a third party. I have the same peeve of backpack purses tilting backwards and sitting awkwardly like that, it's such a deal breaker. I wouldn't have known that stuff can fall outwards easily with it's magnetic clasp at certain angles; definitely only someone who has have user experience would know. Same goes for the sagging structure over time. Do you think the mini version would have lesser of these problems, only because it's smaller, hence less weight, and a smaller opening?
Thank you for the helpful video! It’s a very beautiful bag but I think you are right to not ignore the cons. It’d be better to purchase a bag that makes you completely happy
have you tried putting like things into the bag? i was just thinking that the heavy chains and buckle might be the reason why its sitting weirdly, unless you've already tried carrying the bag with something in it already :)
pinksabers yup!! the buckle and chain are the main reasons why the bag is so heavy and slumps to the front. If you watch until the end, I actually stuff the bag with items and it helps a bit! However I noticed that as I walk, the bag starts to slip back again :(
Thank you!! :) I used this as my everyday work bag. I would even use this on my days off if I ever went shopping because I like having my hands free; hence why I opted for this backpack. It's a shame it didn't really work out :(
I’m sorry this bag didn’t work out for you. But I was looking for a review in this bag and I have the same exact IKEA panels! Thought that was so funny!
Elaine Chan yes! It’s my background in my office space and it covers storage space. It looks great on my video conferences. Also, got the Chloe bag on sale for $649 at Nordstrom’s! I couldn’t pass up the deal.
excellent and honest review! I also wanted to love it, ordered it three times and always sent it back because of those reasons. the fourth time I got it on sale for -40% and ended up keeping it. I am currently using it (second day) and I feel like I should have invested in something else... but I really still like the look of it and the colour that I got it in. well, maybe it will grow on me :D keep doing those reviews! :)
Thank you for the sweet comment! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who had these issues lol 40% off is such a great deal! Enjoy the bag, there must be a reason why it keeps coming back to you, right? ;)
I bought it on sale. they do insane summer and winter sales in major online shops in Europe. you just have to be fast and snatch the items :D in the meantime I have been carrying the backpack for some time and I am liking it more and more :) I am just not using it as a backpack. I only use the shoulderstrap. that way I really enjoy using it :)
Hello, sweet girl, as I know this video is a bit old but I am now just on the hunt for one of these bags (and came across your amazingly informative video) and as I am sure you well know that they are no longer making this EXACT style to where I can purchase it brand new sadly. My apology...to get to my point...I heard you say in your AMAZING review on this bag that you may want to possibly sell this bag at some point, so I was just possibly wondering if you still owned it and if so would you like to sell it? If you do and again might possibly be ready to, I can give you my email and we can txt through there if you are ok with that just for a lil' more privacy!.....Thank you kindly in advance for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear back from you either way! Have a very Blessed and Gorgeous Day today! 🙏😉 Missi Boyd XO 🎀💜
Missi Boyd hello Missi! I actually have her up for sale on Poshmark Canada and can only ship within Canada at the moment. Not sure if this works for you. If so, give me a shout and leave your email in the next message 😘
was eyeing this bag for a long time, it finally went on sale! but when i went into store to have a look, i notice the creases at the bottom too! just couldn't ignore that >_< now having 2nd thought
hey gurl! the creasing really isn't that bad :) all soft leather bags have some sort of creasing or sag to them. If you allow the beautiful aspects of the bag overpower this setback, I know you'll love the bag regardless. Lemme know what you decide :)
Girl, I love this honest video. Thank you so much. Like you, I needed to buy everyday work bag and backpack is my go to. So I wanted buy this and I can see different sight of view. Is there any recommend another bagpack like this? :-)
Aw! Thanks for the sweet comment!! Ya feel me with them backpack strugglezzzz. The look of the faye backpack is just so classic so nothing really compares
This bag is still such a beautiful bag regardless :) and to each their own. I recommend trying it on at the store first to see how it feels on your body. good luck! :)
Great review! Considering this exact one myself since I'm usually carrying an infant around and need to offset the weight. I've shopped around a few bags and keep coming back to this one. Loooove the Fayes! Are you going to sell this bag? If so, please PM me.
Brandy Schade I totally agree that this is a cute and chic backpack! hence why I purchased it in the first place, but after using it for a couple of months I realized some things about it that didn’t work for me as a daily work bag. Definitely not throwing shade at this bag because it is beautifully designed and made. If I were looking for a utilitarian backpack, this wouldn’t be my first choice lol! Hope you enjoy the bag!!

Ermegherd! I’m glad you brought up the fact that sit sits so funny on the back. That’s a dealbreaker for me.
Thanks for the honest review. Your comments are very helpful!
I really appreciate the honesty! I was going to purchase online but your review does make me want to go in store and see it for myself and try it on.
If you are able to get your hands on one to try, i would definitely recommend doing that before you buy :) Best of luck!!

What a comprehensive review! Thank uu! Saved myself money, it’s officially off my wishlist!

Aw thanks for the comment! I'm so glad you got something useful out of this! best of luck in searching for that perfect backpack!
Finally an honest review! I really wanted this bag but not anymore :)

Hi girl!! Thanks so much for the comment!
Thank you for the helpful video! It’s a very beautiful bag but I think you are right to not ignore the cons. It’d be better to purchase a bag that makes you completely happy
amen to that!! :D
what color is this bag？have you tried the mini size, does it look better on your back?
Color is called Motty Grey! I didn't try the mini size as I was only interested in the Small size
Can you remove the back straps?
Yes! They are completely removable :)
have you tried putting like things into the bag? i was just thinking that the heavy chains and buckle might be the reason why its sitting weirdly, unless you've already tried carrying the bag with something in it already :)

You're so pretty!
Awe, thank you!
Hi! Would I be able to ask where you bought it from?
Hi there! I bought this off of SSENSE.COM :)
Thanks so much!! I save some money coz I really cannot accept how it’s look when using it as backpack!! Thanks thanks thanks
very informative! definitely don't know if i would want this bag anymore..
I recommend trying it on in person and seeing how it feels on your body. Maybe you'll be okay with how it sits! :)
Thanks for the video! This was super informative. What do you usually use the backpack for? You said casual, like everyday? Or for school?
Thank you!! :) I used this as my everyday work bag. I would even use this on my days off if I ever went shopping because I like having my hands free; hence why I opted for this backpack. It's a shame it didn't really work out :(
I’m sorry this bag didn’t work out for you. But I was looking for a review in this bag and I have the same exact IKEA panels! Thought that was so funny!
Melanie de Jesus hahaha glad we were able to find something in common aside from the bag!! 💕
Elaine Chan yes! It’s my background in my office space and it covers storage space. It looks great on my video conferences. Also, got the Chloe bag on sale for $649 at Nordstrom’s! I couldn’t pass up the deal.
Did you decide to sell this bag?
I'm actually still holding onto it! For what reason, I really couldn't say lol I think I'll be putting her up for sale in the near future.
excellent and honest review! I also wanted to love it, ordered it three times and always sent it back because of those reasons. the fourth time I got it on sale for -40% and ended up keeping it. I am currently using it (second day) and I feel like I should have invested in something else... but I really still like the look of it and the colour that I got it in. well, maybe it will grow on me :D
keep doing those reviews! :)
Thank you for the sweet comment! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who had these issues lol
40% off is such a great deal! Enjoy the bag, there must be a reason why it keeps coming back to you, right? ;)
How did you get 40%!? 😍🤤
I bought it on sale. they do insane summer and winter sales in major online shops in Europe. you just have to be fast and snatch the items :D
in the meantime I have been carrying the backpack for some time and I am liking it more and more :) I am just not using it as a backpack. I only use the shoulderstrap. that way I really enjoy using it :)
this is a good review! and you’re so cute! hope you make some more reviews
dawww thank you so much!! :)

Same....! I was really going to buy this bag. I don’t think so anymore :/
Great review! Considering this exact one myself since I'm usually carrying an infant around and need to offset the weight. I've shopped around a few bags and keep coming back to this one. Loooove the Fayes! Are you going to sell this bag? If so, please PM me.
Melinda Pino if you keep coming back to it, that's a sign to go for it! 💕
For sure! I tried it on at Nordstrom yesterday. Totally had the same issue with it hanging weird. Oh well... still love it! lol
Amazing video it was so helpful
Thank you for this video! Was indecisive about this bag, will definitely take this into consideration
Love ❤️ the bag!
great review! like it!
Thank you for the review. I really wanted the mini size. Now I need to rethink...-__-;;;
The mini might sit differently than the small one, so definitely go to the store and try it out first! Good luck! :)
its really helpful...
It’s cute! It’s a chic backpack, I’m getting it. You’re overthinking it... it’s so not the same thing as a utilitarian backpack.
