Braided Bag

One of my favourite things to do at Holt Renfrew is to take a look at their handbags.  There never fails to be at least one bag that catches my fancy.  This time, it was Chloé that did it.  The first thing I noticed about this bag was the braided handles:
























The position of the belt across the bag is quite interesting, and the leather is buttery soft to the touch, resulting in the perfect amount of slouch.  I know that braided bag handles are nothing new, but on this Chloé bag, it just looks so right.  The simplicity of the leather and the lack of flashy hardware make the braided handles stand out and slightly more special.  And not to mention, they look absolutely scrumptious, especially in that gorgeous chocolate colour!

  1. I really like Chloè and I believe that between all the "very famous bags", of which everyone speaks about, of this maison it's interesting to see something different. In the specific case I like this bag because matched the simplicity with the creativity, and the attention in the details that caracterized Chloè.

  23. Buttery is the perfect definition for this lovely bag. I've never paid much interest to Chloé bags because they always seem to have the "It Bag" status and that's not really my thing. This is a pleasant surprise.

    Thanks for sharing.
