All About Heloise!!!! - Page 4

I love this bag! I asked my SA to locate one for me. Does anyone have modeling pictures of the smaller Heloise? Does it fit comfortably on your shoulder?

kerilynn3 · May 24th, 2008, 07:48 AM

I tried the smaller one a few weeks ago and it did not fit on my shoulder very well and it is too much smaller IMO to the larger bag.
I know the handles do stretch with use, so it might be okay after a while. There was a fab one on Eeb that is probably well broken in.

ok, i definitely need one to fit on my shoulder comfortably. hope i can find the large!

Hi ladies! I have a prune (plum) colored medium Heloise tote like Tagullah and am wondering if any of you have or have seen a matching wallet? I'm dying to get my hands on one!! I have seen a prune colored Paddy wallet online but the hardware is silver. :( Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I'm proud to show my new medium Plum Heloise (S/S '08) purchased May 31st from the Chloe Boutique in Miami. Price: $835 50% off sale.
Bag came with dustbag, controllo card, care card, hologram card and hologram sticker on the serial number tab. Bag is now registered with Chloe.

I found each bag I considered had different variations to the leather. Some more smooth while others had wrinkling throughout some of the panels. Some of them were lighter or darker. Something I considered before purchasing from Luisaviaroma or online anywhere, where you have no option to view the exact bag being purchased. In this case I had 2 to choose from. My future purchases will be though the boutiques because of this reason, I'm too picky!!!

I'm very pleased with my Heloise, the quality really shows. Proud to be part of the club now!!!

pacific-coconut: You have the one I want! I inadvertently got a Heloise larger than the one I want from LVR! She's huge, like briefcase or work tote. And I'm only 5'3".

I was so excited to join the club. I'm such an idiot. Now I can't return her because it was on sale. It's like I blew hundreds of dollars. The prune color, though, is TDF!

I wanted this to be an everyday bag, not just for work.

^Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! Are you sure it is too big? The medium one is pretty big, too... What are the measurements? Maybe you could post a pic of you wearing it to see whether it really overwhelms your frame... I bought a corss body paddy, and at first I also was shocked about the size, now I love it!
You could probably still try to sell her, if you are not loving her!

LovePink · Jun 18th, 2008, 08:16 PM

This is mine....I can took the photo only 1bag but 4 color.... :-) I had return it , rebuy it and now...I'm eyeing another Chloe....I hate to let her go, but if no one buy it...It means "she was born only for me, and she hate to live without me"....so she saids to watcher :" Don't look at me, go away"...half in me : let her go, another half : NO, STAY. And they are fighting in me right now, I'm hurt :(
Now you can see : ONLY ONE BAG AND 4 COLOR....so beautiful!

BTW, I have to say, I never shop again at CHLOE MIAMI. They messed up my order and the SA yelled at me " you don't need to call me every 15 mintute"...Oh BOY, I placed an order with $2xxx, and not received it in 3 week, call several but the other SA tells me :"he is meeting, he is with another client, " and asked me call back 15 mintute, and every 15 minute, i have to call him for long distance. And he yelled at me as my fault! I'm so upset until now.

Thank you. I'm still trying too get used to her. It's actually as big as my Marc Jacobs Stella (which I love), but the Heloise just seems so big for some reason. Maybe because the latter is stiffer and more structured? These are the dimensions in SI:

Height: 33 cm
Width: 40 cm
Depth: 16 cm

I'm working on taking pics to post here...

Hi, I want a Heloise so badly and I went a nearby Nordstrom to greet her and find out the medium one even looked away too big for me, too. I am 5'2" but I usually wear Chloe shoes with 4" heel so I am really 5'6".

So I am gonna get a small Heloise someday

I can't decide which color, though.

They have the matching wallet on the Diabro website, or at least they did last I looked ( was sorely tempted myself, but managed to pull back from the brink at the very last minute

).

Pekie. I think this bag is beautiful and I love the size. Where did you purchase it? Is this bag still available and is this the small size? Thanks.
