Chloe’s Parisian chic is so spot on that it makes me want to run out, buy a beret, and change my name to Suzette. Luckily, I don’t actually have to take things that far to get my hands on some of its style. This Billie leather and linen bag is a great example of how Chloe takes something totally simple and makes it spectacular.
The tan leather on the Billie is so bright that it could almost be considered orange, but that’s not a bad thing. It detracts ever so slightly from the overall versatility of the bag, but the beige linen takes the loud factor down a bit. The black patent piping makes the colors stand out and emphasizes the contrast between them in a really striking way.
The messenger shape isn’t one of my favorites, but I think that it really works here. The buckles conceal magnetic fastenings, so you don’t have to actually deal with the straps to get in and out of the bag, which makes it a lot more useable. I wish the shoulder strap was somewhat more substantial, but then again, I usually do, and the bag isn’t actually big enough that the slimness of the strap will make it really uncomfortable.
At $1,560, the Billie is on the low end of the price scale for designer bags. Its combination of timeless style and striking good looks makes it a good buy.
