At luxury brand Chloé every individual is engaged in creating beautiful products with meaningful impact. As one of the leading fashion houses based in Paris, Chloé embodies a forward yet timeless style while shifting to a purpose-driven model that advances social and environmental sustainability. As the world was different in 1952 when Gaby Aghion founded Chloé, the Egyptian-born Parisienne understood that fashion was as much about a contemporary attitude as a ready-to-wear wardrobe. She rejected stiff formal styles, proposing a more natural femininity and encouraging women to dare. For more than a half-century, each designer – be it Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Hannah MacGibbon, Phoebe Philo, Clare Waight Keller or Natacha Ramsay-Levi – has given shape to this Chloé identity. Let’s check out the hottest styles.

Crafted from natural shiny calfskin, the small Paraty 24 shoulder bag is inspired by the Chloé archives, combining sharp lines and rounded curves with gold hardware. Paraty 24 features double handles and a strap for hand, shoulder or cross-body carry. Lined with 54 per cent Cotton, 46 per cent Linen, this versatile bag can easily make the transition from day to evening, styled to be carried by hand, slung casually over shoulder or cross-body. It has one main compartment, one inside flat pocket, one adjustable and removable strap, zip closure and comes with a dust bag.
