The Classic Chloé Bags Worth Investing In for 2024
Fashion month is finally over, and the one show that garnered a lot of attention at Paris Fashion Week was Chloé. With Chemena Kamali's debut collection, everyone is eagerly talking about the brand again and the designer's revival of its quintessential "boho chic" style that reigned in the 2000s. The giant slouchy carryalls and metal-adorned handbags seen on the runways won't be available to shop until the fall, but there are still plenty of timeless Chloé bags worthy of the investment that you can shop now.
Many designers have come and gone at Chloé, the most notable being Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and Phoebe Philo. It was Philo who designed one of the brand's first It bags in 2005—the slouchy Paddington, which featured a gold leather-wrapped padlock. Worn on your shoulders then, it was a marker of cool. The most recent popular bag has been the logo-adorned Woody tote. But even without a logo, it's pretty easy to spot a Chloé bag. Many of the iconic bags feature perforated details, gold accents, and braided leather. With the excitement of the last collection, we predict many fashion people are going to start pulling out their beloved Chloé bags again. If you also want in, keep scrolling to shop our favorite bags from the brand, old and new.
1. Chloé Woody Tote Bag
Distinguished with its logo-covered handles, the Woody tote blends style and function. It comes in multiple fabrications, from linen canvas to smooth leather and handmade crochet. Whether you're looking for a work tote or an everyday bag, you can pick from large, medium, and nano sizes to suit your needs.
2. Chloé Penelope Shoulder Bag
We wouldn't be surprised if the Penelope bag showed up on Kamali's next runway collection for the brand. With its braided-leather trim and slouchy silhouette, it exudes the bohemian energy that defines the brand. The bag comes in three styles: a shoulder bag, a top-handle bag, and a clutch. All three versions are finished with a metal coin detailing inspired by the label's jewelry archive.
3. Chloé Marcie Double Carry Bag
Released in 2010, the Marcie Double Carry was the bag that launched the well-loved Marcie line. Hannah MacGibbon, creative director from 2008 to 2011, added an equestrian touch to the bag with a rounded silhouette, a saddle-like front flap, and topstitching details.
4. Chloé Marcie Hobo Bag
Different from the Double Carry, the Marcie Hobo Bag offers a more minimal look with clean lines and subtle gold-toned studs. This roomy bag is suitable for everyday, casual wear.
5. Chloé Tess Bag
The Nile bag—an influencer-loved hit designed by Clare Waight Keller—may not be available anymore, but the Tess bag is the next best thing. It features the brand's signature half-moon shape and a round bangle, which nods to Philo's early bracelet bags.
