Chloé Aurore Top Handle Leather Bag

Hmmm, this looks familiar. Seems like the design team at Chloe is once again resurrecting the ghost of Phoebe Philo. The updates from the Paddington: smaller lock and structured shape. Both good improvements because we all complained about that hefty padlock and the floppy bag that melted into a puddle when put down, but not good enough to have another go at an “it” bag status. The mundane doctor bag is just that and a smaller lock is easier on the shoulder but looks stupidly disproportional here. The only thing I do like is the raw saddle-like feel of the leather but I reserve that look for Henry Cuir. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1795 (price is heftier than the original Paddington padlock).

  1. It looks like the Paddington and the LV Speedy mated! I LOVE the color leather of this bag, but I will pass. I still love and wear my Paddington, though, even though it no longer has “it” status.

  2. Really? I love it!

    I love the shape and the colour. The padlock adds a little detail but not too much. This is definately on my wish list.

  3. I have been waiting for the snobs to review this bag. I ADORE it, I love the shape, I love the mini lock, I love the style… I just want one. Amazing!! xo
