Just found this little beauty in my archive files. I purchased this bag and it was so heavy that I sold it on. How dumb was I

bracelet bag, i think it's from '04

chloehandbags · Oct 18th, 2006, 08:46 AM

^ It's from S/S '03.

I'm pretty sure +sonja+'s clutch is from S/S '05; it certainly wouldn't be '01, as Stella McCartney didn't/doesn't work with leather.

Thanks, you're a real sherlock..!!

That clutch has been total mystery to me, glad to know something more about it now

This note is for Mimz. I also have a Chloe charm bag, but it doesn't have the piece (emblem) above the charms as yours. Is yours a small bag too? How old is your bag? Would love any info you have on it. Thank you!

Whoops!

Just realised that I have been labouring (and posting!) under the impression that this Continental Wallet was from S/S '03:

It isn't, it's from Winter '02.

Why I didn't check the hang-tag, i don't know!

Here are some reference pics from the A/W '02 - '03 show:

...and here is a recent aquisition - a clutch from the same collection:

Chloehandbags...it is good to see someone else with the mesh hobos. I don't carry my silver one very often, but it is soo much fun. I know when I have it out I will not see another one like it
