chloe saskia bag
Chloe Saskia Bags

About three years ago one of the biggest "it" bag frenzies took over the handbag world. Do you remember which bag it was? The Chloe Paddington of course. Vlad and I were lucky enough to track down our very own Chloe Paddington in Munich, Germany in the summer of 2005. We spent over 13 hours driving that day to pick up the bag. The hype was so high surrounding the bag and I was in shock that we got our hands on one. Any boutique I walked into looked at me as if I had a golden ticket. Really, we struck "it" bag gold that summer. I do not forsee Chloe creating as large a buzz anytime in the near future, but I do see that their new bag could be a huge hit. The Chloe Saski Bag has the ability to attract a lot of attention towards itself, as it is a handbag that shows a similar Paddington appeal. The glossy leather is off-sett with lucite handles and front pockets. There is an Edith feel about the tote version, very easy for everyday wear with a removable shoulder strap. Right now Net A Porter is carrying a turquoise and taupe tote version. While the tote sports beautiful colors, it is the satchel that may take the spotlight. The Chloe Saskia Satchel will be put up tomorrow on Net A Porter and has the ability to be a bit hit. It is very reminiscent of the Paddington, but adds lucite handles, no padlock, and easy-access front flap pockets. Net A Porter will be carrying the above black, red, white, and tan smaller versions tomorrow. We were lucky enough to have them share the bag with us prior to its debut on NAP, so you all can be on the lookout for their release tomorrow. Buy the tote in either turquoise or taupe through Net A Porter for $2,005. We will bring you more news on the smaller satchel version tomorrow!

I really, really like this bag... but the handles put me off something terrible. I have visions of them turning yellow over time and constantly being grotty and smudged from fingerprints and hand oils. Yuuuuuck!

I love the turqoise color of the tote, but wholeheartedly agree that the lucite puts me off.

I actually prefer the tote to the satchel. Something about the satchel doesn't look right to me. Well, neither of them look exactly "right" (whatever that means).

I like the look of the satchels, but the lucite handles just aren't my style.

I am not in love with this bag...I think it is too structured for me, but perhaps it will grow on me like most Chloe things do!

I am not a fan of the lucite handles either. What is it with Chloe and lucite this time 'round? The lucite padlocks on the new paddys aren't great either...

Like the satchel, but not the tote. The lucite handles don't bother me.
