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 are advised to turn their attention to Chloe, because even a small handbag from the brand's collection can drastically change the image.
Little about the brand
Chloe - a brand with a big name, having French roots, represents collections of clothes, accessories and fragrances, fully emphasizing the best female features. The combination of simplicity and sophistication in the products gives their owner a certain charm and makes the girls more feminine.
The brand was founded in Paris in 1952, and its founder was a woman - the beautiful Gabi Agyen, who was a native of Egypt and belonged to a couple of aristocrats. The girl possessed a noble beauty inherent to the eastern nations, and was endowed with a good upbringing. Undoubtedly, all this was reflected in the collections produced by her.
The brand name is pronounced "Chloe", with an 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 be described and models in the collections of the brand.
The fashion house has collaborated with many young designers, but only on the condition of preserving the characteristic femininity. And with the arrival of Stella McCartney in the company, this reservation has ceased to be a necessity - the models of the girl exceeded in tenderness and femininity even the very first Chloe products. Thus, the brand developed more and more, reaching new heights, and by 2013 it even became part of the great Syndicate of High Fashion in Paris.
Features, Pros and Cons
As already stated, the main feature of the brand is 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 at it.
Among the features it can be noted that most models are small. This can be both a plus and a minus, since the model, although it is very compact, is not very roomy.
The obvious advantage is the quality of the models, since only natural materials and high technologies are used for their manufacture. All seams and glueing sites are made very carefully, there are no protruding threads and no 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 from top 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 have it. It is precisely in connection with this that a huge number of fakes appear, at a lower price and with much worse quality.
Models
In the Chloe collections for such a long existence, quite a few models have gathered, each of which has some peculiarities. Let's take a closer look at the most popular models and their main features: why are they good and why are they so popular?
Marcie model looks very impressive, but at the same time it is rather unobtrusive and restrained.A somewhat unusual shape will make your look new, and the decorative elements in the form of three woven strips and an elegant brush are definitely the highlight of the product.
The Dimanche bag is simpler to perform and is a flat square with a folding closure mechanism. Inside the product there are three compartments, thanks to which the model is quite practical and roomy.
It looks very curious model Polly, which looks very much like a backpack, but still has one adjustable strap that allows you to wear the product through the shoulder. This model, like the previous one, is equipped with a folding part with a fastener on a magnetic button.
But do not focus on the consideration of any specific models. It is necessary to fully embrace both forms, and decorative elements, and other components of stylish Chloe bags. Consider in more detail all the details that are worth paying attention to when choosing a product.
The form
Forms of bags can be varied, it all depends on the ideas of the designer. The most common option is a rectangle, which often serves as the basis for the manufacture of stylish clutch bags. It is convenient to hold such a form in your hands, and it looks quite attractive.
Models with a semicircular bottom and a straight upper part are a success - small handbags with chains will be an excellent addition to both everyday and evening wear. In contrast, there is a model with a straight lower part and a semi-oval top, but this bag has much larger dimensions.
In addition, there are quite a lot of trapezoid-shaped bags in the collections, square models, as well as bag-shaped items.
Decor and accessories
As a decoration, completely different elements are used, thanks to which the bag takes on a special look. With regard to fittings, given the brand's reputation and the cost of products, it must be of high quality and almost flawless in appearance.
Accessories include various kinds of fastening mechanisms and metal fasteners. In order to avoid a quick breakdown, it is very important that various kinds of metal buttons with magnetic parts and fastening rings be made of durable metal alloys.
We should also talk about zippers, because using ordinary plastic parts is unacceptable for making fasteners for branded bags - it is too unreliable. Durable 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 the 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 the bags of this brand is a large metal buckle. The element can have a golden, silver or bronze color, depending on the shade of the product itself.
Color solutions
The colors of the Chloe models are multifaceted and incredibly beautiful. The depth of shades affects and does not leave any girl indifferent. But what colors should you pay special attention to this season?
First of all, these are subtle, soft shades, fully reflecting the sensuality of the female nature. Soft gray, deep blue, juicy olive and muffled coral - handbags of these shades look incredibly beautiful in fragile women's hands.
Incredibly feminine look bags of light shades: pale pink, light blue, soft menthol and light lemon. Often, it is these models that are decorated with metallic golden elements, thanks to which they look more subtle.
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 pieces will fit into most casual outfits.
Bags with prints can not be overlooked, because they look just incredible! Among all the animalistic prints special attention is attracted by the unusual colors - Dalmatians. Reptile skin and various ornaments applied to the surface of products look beautiful.
Collections
The 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 clasp and a decor. The ring is attached to the carabiner on a special chain and does not allow the product to unfold without 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 woven decor, and 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 most suitable for everyday life. They are simple in design and harmonious in appearance. Such a product is suitable for both informal situations and for creating a working image.
How to distinguish the original from a fake?
Due to the high demand, but the very high cost of products, there is the problem of the appearance of fakes. Unscrupulous fraudsters are trying to cash in on the desire of girls to follow all the fashion trends, offering low-quality copies, which are often too different from the original.
Bags of this brand have several characteristic features, which can easily identify low-quality fake:
- Firstly, the original bag, even when it is seemingly bulky, has a very low weight due to the use of materials of special quality. And manufacturers of fakes, without access to such technology, make bags many 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 the most prominent place;
- About originality can tell and neat appearance of the product. The fact is that the company does not allow even the slightest flaws, therefore protruding threads and traces of glue, cheap lightning and accessories are signs of a fake;
- All models, including for several previous seasons, adorn the official website of the brand. If you did not find any model on the site, it means that you can declare with one hundred percent certainty that this is a fake;
- A distinctive detail is the lining - in the original, it is always perfectly flat and made of a dense, pleasant to the touch material. Manufacturers of fakes almost always use thin, easily creased material;
- And finally, the cost of the product. Even during promotional and sales periods, models cannot be sold at prices reduced by more than 30-40%. Do not be fooled by advertising slogans calling for the acquisition of a brand with an 80% discount - this is deception of pure water.
Spectacular images
A model of a light, but muted pink tone will be a great addition to the classic dress, so a blouse with open-sleeved sleeves and a dark jacket will be very useful.
Opt for a gray oversize sweater, a black denim mini skirt and a light gray little Chloe handbag to create a great weekend look.
A graceful pink handbag on a chain will be a great addition to an elegant dress along with a light blouse, pants and an elongated blue cardigan in oversized style.
