Chloé’s latest bag is red all over

It’s been a little while since I found a Chloé bag that struck me as both aesthetically pleasing and supremely functional. Usually the brand’s bags embody one virtue or the other, and finding them in the same bag makes me want to whip out my American Express and head directly to Neiman Marcus. For the sake of my job, I’ll try to finish my post before that happens.

Obviously the bag’s color and leather look divine (and the grey version is no different), but functionality concerns me most when I’m thinking about spending money. Luckily, this design doesn’t disappoint in the pragmatic arena either. Nothing in the bag’s structure would get in the way of using it for practical, everyday tasks, no matter whether you prefer to carry your purse on your shoulder or in the crook of your arm. It would look equally lovely in both locations and hold everything that a casual luxury bag needs to hold for a jaunt to the mall or even everyday office duty. And for Chloé, the price isn’t exactly terrible. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1565.

I love that red. It’s not too orange. This is why I only have one red bag because most of them end up looking a little orange-y.
My biggest concerns about bags like this are when they don’t have the stuffing in them. I wonder if they still keep their shape.

My first designer bag was a Chloe, and it’s still my all-time favorite go-to bag. For the price, I don’t think the quality of leather, hardware and style can be beat. This bag is another example of a great Chloe bag, and I may just may have to purchase it!

I fell in love with this bag when I saw it in Nordy’s Aug catalog yesterday. I love the light tan and it also will be in anthracite, too. Can’t wait to see it IRL. This is definitely one bag I have my eye on for Fall.

Nice shape, great detailing but it looks a bit on the heavy side for an every day bag. If it’s light, it’s definitely a keeper! The color is just divine and the leather looks beautiful!

That bag looks great and I love the color! It’s not too fire engine, or orangey. I could totally see myself wearing this one all seasons.

Nice to see classy Cloe without the big heavy lock on it. Love the lock as decoration, but does add weight. This bag is lovely! Perfectly detailed!
