Chloe used to be one of the lines that I most looked forward to. In recent seasons, I’ve felt a little ambivalent about its designs, as it’s gotten a little less experimental and a little more trend-centric. Still, I really respect its clean approach to design, and this Madeline tote is a great example of Chloe’s classy past.
The lines of the Madeline are streamlined and super clean. I love the almost invisible stitching and the monochrome details. The Madeline’s features are subtle, indeed, and come by way of gently contrasting edges. The padded look of the strap and its attachment set off the overall sharper edges in a lovely way that any design freak would adore.
The color is really superb. Orange has featured prominently on runways around the world, and this version has a nice burnt look that makes it wearable with more subdued styles. The exposed gold zipper with black attachment looks great up against this smooth backdrop, and gives the Madeline the slightest bit of edginess.
At $2,295, the Madeline is well-priced for what it offers: classic styling that will never look dated with a color scheme that is totally current.
