That's A Fabulous Handbag

One of the most popular handbags of the last decade is coming back with a revised image. The Paddington put Chloe handbags on the ‘must have’ list of many handbag lovers, and while it’s a classic bag and they continue to make the original design every season, they have an updated version. The Paddington tote is a larger version of the classic, but the oversized padlock and key detail are the same.

This designer handbag is black leather (also comes in light brown) with white stitching and gold hardware. This tote has two outside side pockets and a zippered pocket on the inside back wall of the bag. Interestingly, the bigger Paddington Tote costs less than the smaller original. $1,499. Available here.

The new designs of the Chloe handbags are among my favorites of the season. The Marcie bag has a pretty feminine appeal, somewhat similar to the beautiful Nina Ricci bags from this season. The Marcie bag comes in various colors, but orange is a great color for Spring and Summer. This bag is very popular and has been seen on various celebrities such as the ever stylish Rachel Bilson (below).

This bag is orange leather with two top handles and gold tone hardware. It has a top zip opening and rounded front pocket with raised seams and double zip closure. It measures height 32cm width 42cm depth 9cm. $1,714 at LUISAVIAROMA.

I Love, love , love the new design in the Chloe handbags collection. Chloé's leather Paraty is a carry all carryall that's both practical and ever so chic. The distinct design is a black leather medium tote with gold-tone hardware. This Chloe tote has rivet detailing on the two straps, a press stud to fasten, piped panels, a small zipped pocket on the inside and is fully lined. The best price for this bag is $1,762, shipping and tax included, at LUISAVIAROMA.

As some of you may know, my latest handbag acquisition was a Chloé, so I'm a bit partial to them at the moment, however, even if I wasn't partial, I would still absolutely LOVE this Chloé handbag! When I first saw the picture I thought it was a small, evening bag, but as you can see from the picture with the model, it's a mid sized shoulder bag, the perfect size for everyday use. This thrilled me because I love the bag, but I simply can't put down the serious bucks for something I can only use occasionally. It's an eye catching, embellished bag, but the neutral, eggshell colored leather allow it to look great with denim or a dress. Apparently, my high opinion of this bag isn't alone, it's sold out at Net a Porter, but should be re-stocked soon. $3,900.

I am steadily becoming a Chloé handbag enthusiast. This crocodile embossed lurex bag is in the box shape with chain straps design that is so very popular for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Pucci has a denim version that is being touted as the "it" bag of the season, but, really... a denim "it" bag? I'll pass on that and take this fab little Chloé instead. This bag has gold-tone twisted rope handles which can be alternatively styled as a long shoulder strap, a turn-lock fastening at front with logo plaque, and beautifully contrasting peach leather lining. $1,250 at Net a Porter .

This has to be one of the prettiest Chloé handbags I have ever seen. The python scales are the perfect size and nicely uniform. The material looks especially beautiful in dusty pink and set against the black leather bow. The crystal bow is just the right amount of bling to keep this sophisticated yet super chic. I love that this bag doesn't fall into an age bracket. I could see an elegant older woman wearing it with a silk suit or a pretty young lady carrying it into a club.

The envelope flap fastens with magnetic snap closure, and it has nude leather lining with a small interior pocket. It measures Width 32cm Height 20cm Depth 2cm. Available at Browns, $1,824 or £1,075
