Chloe Handbags

Chloe handbags combine function, femininity, and edgy style.

Chloe handbag

Chloe was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion in Paris from her simple, chic clothing line. Aghion developed body-skimming, alluring designs that were a striking contrast to the prim, reserved ensembles of her day.

The popularity of the initial designs allowed the Chloe Company to continue to grow, and the designs became more widely available in other countries. Today the collections include designer handbags, accessories, and shoes as well as clothing.

Chloe handbags have a certain character that evokes both strength and femininity. The sturdy, stylish bags are sleek enough to look sexy, but versatile enough to take on whatever your day brings.

Chunky hardware, luxurious leathers, and innovative compartmentalizing make these bags a top choice for many handbag lovers.

Chloe Paddington bag

With its signature heavy padlock and tassel with key, the Chloe Paddington is hard to miss. Rounded handles, rich pebbled leather, and squared hardware with rounded edging create a funky, stylish look.

A huge hit with the couture crowd, Paddingtons are often though of as the A-list of Chloe handbags. Chloe continues to come out with new twists on the original satchel Paddington. These include:

• The New Satchel: With a more squared, slightly larger shape, this Paddington offers appeal as a roomier version of the original. Buckled side pockets and a small front pocket are other additions.
• Zip Bottom Satchel: With its slight bowler shaping and top and bottom zippered compartments, this is a more structured Paddington. The top zipper opens to the main compartment, and separate bottom zippers open for extra storage at the bottom of the purse.
• Messenger Paddington: The addition of a long shoulder strap and some sleek downsizing are part of this cute addition to Chloe handbags. Its squared shape and clean simplicity are offset by side buckles and a long front tassel.
• Paddington Tote: The roomy Paddington tote features external zipper pockets and buckled sides, a chic combination of fashion and function.
• The New Shopper: This Paddington shopper is designed with a large external pocket with buckle enclosure. The purse is slightly cinched by buckle accents near the bottom of the bag for a touch of casual styling.
• Hobo Bag: Available in small, medium, and large, the Paddington hobos feature low-hanging side buckle accents, delicate stud accents, and interior pockets.
• The Croc Paddington: The ultimate in elite, the rich crocodile Paddington is available in the satchel style, slightly more structured due to the croc leather, with delicate accents.
• Paddington wallet: A chic accessory to go with any Paddington bag.

In addition to the Paddington, Chloe handbags offer other styles that are very popular. The Betty bags and their line of Edith bags are also big hits.

The Edith bags feature washed leather with minimal stitching detail and thin, streamlined buckle accents for top enclosures or exterior pockets that offer a touch of classic elegance. The Betty line features chunky zippers and exterior pockets, for roomy, stylish organization.

Other Chloe styles include the Silverado, Molly, Little Speedy, and the Hampton.

Chloe handbags has recently introduced the Ascot bag that's a hot Hollywood style. Designed as an easy-open tote, this bag features a large shackle clasp, contrasting leather detailing, and large and small stud accents.

The small Ascot bag features a zip top, distinctive ring hardware, and large studs.
