Chloe’s spring line of bags has been really on point this year. I am loving their choice of materials, and the smooth 70s vibe combined with their own trademark super chic aesthetic is really doing it for me.
This Elise bag, for one, might be a contender for the “It” bag of the season if it wasn’t so unorthodoxly designed. I am almost never a fan of squarish bags, but with the twisted chain strap and flap front, this one is just so much fun that I like it despite its boxy shape. And all that smooth surface area is the perfect showcase for the glossy purple patent leather, which is rich and lustrous.
But it’s the details of this bag that really make it work. I don’t want to keep repeating myself, but would you get a load of that chain strap? It looks posh and bohemian at once, and the way it is threaded through the top of the bag is absolutely ingenious. I only hope it’s also sturdy! The enormous front closure is absolutely gorgeous, and kind of resembles those owl necklaces that are so popular right now.
This is the kind of take everywhere accessory that wardrobes are built around, and I expect to see a lot of knockoffs in the discount stores by mid summer. I only hope someone makes a great one, because at $1,335, the Elise is out of my price range, although it is within reason for a piece from a high end designer collection.
