9 Iconic Chloé Bags We Have on Our Forever Wish Lists

January 15, 2022 at 06:03AM

Chloé has a habit of creating cult handbags. It all started in 2005 with the slouchy Paddington featuring a gold padlock. In fact, you could say that the epic waiting list it caused was one of the triggering factors behind It bags even becoming a thing in the first place. Seventeen years later, the accessories department at the French fashion house is still sending shoppers into a spin. 

One of the biggest bags of past couple of years is the Chloé C bag, though it seems like styles from its spring/summer 2022 collection are going to be just as popular (more on those later). 

The beauty of Chloé bags truly lies in their variation and versatility. For each style there are often several silhouettes you can choose from, including smaller clutches all the way up to everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-sized totes. Meaning whatever your arm candy preference, you’re sure to find a Chloé bag to suit. 

Style Notes: Chloé’s C shoulder bag is really elegant, as it has a wide leather strap and a delicate C logo on the clasp and comes in beautiful colours, such as dusty grey and cream. Our favourite? Those with mock-croc finishes. 

Style Notes: This bag is a must for Chloé collectors, owing to its iconic padlock clasp and its roomy interior. Of course, you can always shop the cross-body options, too, but we’re most partial to the Aby tote. 

Style Notes: Saddlebags are a key trend this season, and the Chloé Tess bag took centre stage. The style comes in small and large plus several highly covetable colourways.

Style Notes: Probably the most famous saddle bag of them all, Chloé’s Marcie tote has been a celebrity favourite for over a decade.

Style Notes: For her first collection at Chloé, Gabriela Hearst payed homage to the brand’s heritage while marking the start of a new era by reissuing the iconic ‘Edith’ tote, the first luxury bag she ever bought. Crafted from supple burgundy leather and traced with cream topstitching, while the buckled front pocket takes its cue from the classic satchel.
