Chloe is slowly but surely making its way back into our hearts. It was my friend Connie’s birthday yesterday and we chipped in to buy her the Chloe Paraty in chocolate python. We have a “birthday” group of girlfriends– there are 4 of us and we have been celebrating each other’s birthdays together for 5 years. There is always champagne involved of course (and a LOT of dessert), sometimes the lunches end at dinner time! The birthday girl gets to pick out whatever gift she wants! We decided a long time ago that we’re too old for surprises (unless it’s from our hubbies and involve any kind of diamonds and of course anything made by our kids!) so it works out for everyone!
If you’re looking for a gift for a girlfriend or for mom, here is another Chloe worthy of consideration. The oversized Ethel tote (15×15) in delectable berry is cheeky bright with a flash of brilliantly contrasting orange leather– an edgy detail that makes the simple tote more interesting. Thankfully Chloe is over the heavy hardware of the Paddington days, the subtle gold tonal hardware is very understated and the lambskin with goatskin trim make the tote super lightweight to boot. Really a fab summer tote to travel with and play with– I’d never thought I’d love a purple bag trimmed with bright orange but hey, never say never, right?
Chloe Ethel tote $1,395 at Nordstrom.com – get free shipping!
Looooooove the colours! Price is just right.
Maybe if I catch it on sale. I love the shape and color but I already have a purplish pink heloise.
The distressing of the purple is fab’
What a great find! I love the contrast of the muted rose with bright orange and simple hardware. I would have never guessed this to be a Chloe design. =)
I LOVE CHLOE!!!! I’ve got three bags by Chloe and I want to add another one to my collection. This may be it! Love the color!
For me Chloe never lost its luster, I still love my paddington and totes!
Hi, I like this is cute bag. The color is delicious + the add of the orange handle and the light gold hardware. The leather looks so soft, with enough structure that I seek in bags, and the price is sensible.
Mette, it’s always interesting to see what bags you like and don’t 🙂
How are you feeling? Since the funeral? Our thoughts are with you….
Thank you Tina for your concern. I´m feeling very calm, grateful and with my feet on the ground. Things could not be much better. Wishing you all a wonderful summer too!!!
I like this bag – great colour(s).
Getting this one for my birthday, yay! first chloe and this will make the perfect summer bag 😀 Next would be the python paraty in that gorgeous navy or cream. Yummy
