Chloe Alice Chain Evening Clutch (by Nerdphanie)
 I've been underwhelmed by most of Chloe's recent handbag creations, both the new ones like the Bay and the countless uglified reincarnations of Phoebe's designs. For a Chloe enthusiast like me, such a series of disappointments was rather disheartening. Thankfully, I saw this Chloe Alice chain evening clutch sitting demurely on display at Nordstrom the other day, and my enthusiasm was revived. I would actually use this bag as a cute little shoulder bag as opposed to a clutch, as it is fairly medium-sized, and as I really love that chain. There's something a little funky about it, but it's sweetened by the little very Chloe-like bows at the frame. The frame bag shape and what looks like a kiss-lock closure are wonderfully quaint and feminine. The pink burgundy color is perfect the whole year round. And the leather - I have felt this bag, and the leather is highly, highly soft and molestable. I cannot recommend it enough! From what I remember, the price was a little ridiculous, possibly nearing or over the $2,000 mark, but it is an adorable bag. Have not seen it retailing online yet, but check your local luxury department store, and go to Chloe's website to see the rest of Chloe's summer accessories. |

I like it. Sort of a mix between vintage and funk.

Re: Chloe Alice Chain Evening Clutch (by Nerdphanie)
Normally I adore Chloe but the chain and the design just makes this bag look heavy. I prefer dainty looking clutches.

Re: Chloe Alice Chain Evening Clutch (by Nerdphanie)
I like it, particularly in the black, but I think I prefer the design of the Anas (assuming it comes in something other than python).
I definitely think the clutches are the best of the new bag designs currently on offer from Chloe, personally. Although, I'm biased, as I love clutches!
