The abundance of brands is sometimes confusing and makes it difficult to make the right choice of a product. But if you want to always remain feminine and inimitable, stylists advise turning your attention to Chloe, because even a small handbag from the brand’s collection can radically change the image.
A little bit about the brand
Chloe - a brand with a big name, having French roots, presents collections of clothes, accessories and fragrances that fully emphasize the best female features. The combination of simplicity and sophistication in products gives their owner a certain charm and makes girls more feminine.
The brand was founded in Paris in 1952, and its founder was a woman - the beautiful Gabi Hagien, who was a native of Egypt and belonged to a couple of aristocrats. The girl possessed the noble beauty inherent in the eastern peoples, and was endowed with a good upbringing. Undoubtedly, all this was reflected in her collections.
The brand name is pronounced "Chloe", with emphasis on the last syllable. The meaning of this word is directly related to the ancient Greek goddess Demeter, who was a symbol of farming and fertility. The same metaphor can characterize the models in the collections of the brand.
The fashion house collaborated with many young designers, but only on the basis of maintaining a characteristic femininity. And with the arrival of Stella McCartney, this reservation ceased to be a necessity - the girl’s models surpassed even the very first Chloe products in tenderness and femininity. Thus, the brand developed more and more, reaching new heights, and by 2013 even became part of the great High Fashion Syndicate in Paris.
Features, pros and cons
As already mentioned, the main feature of the brand is the incredible tenderness and femininity of models, including bags. The bag is one of the largest and most visible accessories, so a huge amount of attention is always directed to it.
Among the features, it can be noted that most models are small in size. This can be both a plus and a minus, since the model, although it is very compact, does not differ in particular capacity.
A clear plus is the quality of the models, since only natural materials and high technologies are used for their manufacture. All seams and places of gluing are made very carefully, there are no protruding threads and traces of glue.
The advantages include the quality of accessories, without which the bags would not be so functional. All locks, closing mechanisms, zippers and simply metal parts are made of the highest quality metals, which, moreover, are quite scratch resistant.
Among the pronounced minuses can be called the cost of branded products - it is quite high. Not every girl can afford a handbag from Chloe, but absolutely everyone wants to own it. It is in connection with this that a huge number of fakes appear, at a lower price and with much worse quality.
Models
In the collections of Chloe for such a long existence, quite a few models have gathered, each of which has some peculiarities. Let us consider in more detail the most popular models and their main features: why they are good and why they are so popular.
The Marcie model looks very impressive, but at the same time is quite discreet and restrained. A somewhat unusual shape will bring newness to your image, and decorative elements in the form of three woven stripes and an elegant brush are definitely the highlight of the product.
The Dimanche bag is simpler in design and is a flat square with a folding closing mechanism. Inside the product there are three compartments, thanks to which the model is quite practical and roomy.
The Polly model looks very curious, which looks very much like a backpack, but still has one adjustable strap that allows you to carry the product over your shoulder. This model, like the previous one, is equipped with a folding part with a fastener on a magnetic button.
But you should not focus on the consideration of any specific models. It is necessary to fully cover the forms, and decorative elements, and other components of stylish Chloe bags. Let us consider in more detail all the details that are worth paying attention to when choosing a product.
The form
The shapes of the bags can be varied, it all depends on the ideas of the fashion designer. The most common option is a rectangle, which often serves as the basis for the manufacture of stylish clutches. This form is convenient to hold in your hands, and it looks quite attractive.
Models with a semicircular hem and a straight upper part are also successful - small handbags on chains will be an excellent addition to both everyday and evening outfits. In contrast to them there is a model with a straight lower part and semi-oval top, but this bag has much larger dimensions.
In addition, the collections contain a lot of trapezoidal bags, square models, and bag-shaped items.
Decor and fittings
As a decor, completely different elements are used, thanks to which the bag takes on some special look. As for the hardware, given the brand reputation and the cost of products, it should be of high quality and almost perfect in appearance.
The accessories include various kinds of fastening mechanisms and metal elements of fasteners. In order to avoid quick breakdowns, it is very important that all kinds of metal buttons with magnetic parts and mounting rings be made of strong metal alloys.
We should also talk about zippers, since the use of ordinary plastic parts is unacceptable for making fasteners on branded bags - it is too unreliable. Strong models with small, but frequent metal teeth are used.
As for the decor, wicker elements and fringe deserve special attention. In Chloe models, they are quite rare, but they look just amazing. It is worth noting that fringe is not the decor of the entire perimeter of the product, but is presented in the form of a small brush.
The most frequent and very attractive decor of bags of this brand is a large metal clasp. The element may have a golden, silver or bronze color, depending on the shade of the product itself.
Color schemes
The color schemes of Chloe models are multifaceted and incredibly beautiful. The depth of the shades is amazing and does not leave any girl indifferent. But what colors should you pay special attention to this season?
First of all, it is subtle, soft shades that fully reflect the sensuality of female nature. Soft gray, deep blue, juicy olive and muted coral - handbags of these shades look incredibly beautiful in fragile female handles.
Bags of light shades look incredibly feminine: soft pink, light blue, soft menthol and light lemon. Often, it is such models that are decorated with metallic golden elements, thanks to which they look more sophisticated.
Darker products deserve no less attention than light and muted models. Black bags are timeless classics, brown models are something refreshing and new, and gray items will fit into most everyday outfits.
Printed bags cannot be ignored, because they look just incredible! Among all animal prints, special attention is drawn to the unusual coloring - the Dalmatian. The reptile skin and various ornaments applied to the surface of the products look beautiful.
Collections
Collections are multifaceted and unusual, but each of them is characterized by some specific features.
For example, Faye has a characteristic feature - a large metal ring, which is both a fastener and decor. The ring is attached to the carabiner on a special chain and does not allow the product to open without the need.
Nile is a collection of small handbags, the main decor of which is the same metal ring. But in this case, the fragment is much larger, it occupies almost the entire height of the bag.
Bags from the Marcie collection are decorated with an elegant tassel and three rows of wicker decor, while products from the Milo Tote line have a decor in the form of two zippers on the sides that regulate the size of the bag.
The bags from the Lexa Cross collection are the best for everyday life. They are simple in execution and harmonious in appearance. Such a product is suitable both for an informal setting, and for creating a working image.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Due to the great demand, but the very high cost of products, the problem of the appearance of fakes arises. Unscrupulous scammers try to cash in on the girls' desire to follow all fashion trends, offering low-quality copies that are often too much different from the original.
Bags of this brand have several characteristic features that can be used to easily identify low-quality fakes:
- Firstly, the original bag, even with external bulkiness, has a very small weight due to the special quality materials used in the manufacture. And manufacturers of fakes, not having access to such technology, make bags at times heavier;
- Secondly, the brand logo on the original is never striking, but it is always present on the product, while on the fake it flaunts in a prominent place;
- The neatness of the appearance of the product can also tell about originality.The thing is that the company does not allow even the slightest flaws, therefore sticking out threads and traces of glue, cheap zippers and accessories are signs of a fake;
- All models, including several previous seasons, flaunt on the official website of the brand. If you did not find any model on the site, then you can say with one hundred percent certainty - this is a fake;
- A distinctive detail is the lining - the original is always perfectly flat and made of dense, pleasant to the touch material. Fake manufacturers almost always use thin, easy-creasing material;
- And finally, the cost of the product. Even during promotional and sale periods, models cannot be sold at prices reduced by more than 30-40%. Do not fall for advertising slogans urging you to buy a brand with an 80% discount - this is a fraud of pure water.
