Please post pics and info about your vintage Chloe.
PICS ONLY please, NO chatter Sorry for the enormous delay!  Important things were going on in sellerwatch!Well younguns, my Chloe story begins way back in the halcyon days of S/S 2003, when you could still buy a Chloe bag for under £750.00! I bought my first Chloe wallet from N-A-P. Apart from a gorgeous Bottega Veneta bag I got given for my birthday by my BF; this was to be my first high end leathergood purchase. This is still my favourite wallet and I use it as a clutch for day. The tiger bag and the clutch with flowers soon followed, in A/W '03-'04. Although I have used my beloved tiger bag many times, as you can see, I have still not used the flower clutch! The tiger bag is truly stunning and is my favourite bag of all time!!!  A/W '03-'04 was my favourite Chloe year and Pheobe Philo had truly excelled herself. So, of course I had to buy these two beautiful Grecian clutches! Then, in S/S '04, I bought first the silver and then the old gold (or was it the other way round?!) mesh hobos. As you can see, I've only used the silver one, so far. I then bought the green, black and gold beaded clutch; I thought this might be a mistake, as although I love characterful bags, I wondered whether this one might have a little too much character! I was wrong!!! This clutch has turned out to be a very useful purchase; it looks amazing with black and is one of my favourite and (believe it, or not) most versatile summer bags! Once again, if you have any bag pics which you would like to add to this thread, I would love to see them!

These clutches and bracelet bags are absolutely beautiful
Thanks so much for posting!Does anyone remember the collection with allover line-art illustrations? There was a handbag with a swan motif (a bit in the style of Bjork’s vespertine album art) I believe it was from s/s ’02 as I remember coveting the conte de fees Vuitton bags at the time too. Sadly, I passed up both! But I’d love to see a picture again. Here is my camera bag from a/w '03 & an ad from the same collection: |

Here is my Chloe collection, the upper left bag is my 'Annie Small' (?) charm bag (I only had one photo of my Chloe collection, and then a detailed photo), it is gorgeous chocolate brown textured leather with fringe detail, and brass and horn charms that can be removed and worn as a bracelet. It was the first 'luxury' gift from my boyfriend for my birthday, so it's very special to me!
The front middle bag is my black suede limited edition from 2003 (119/199). This bag is gorgeous, it has thick black suede, side pockets, and immaculate Moroccan style golden embroidery - it is so intricate, fabulous, and well detailed. The shape is also very unique, it fits a lot - but it is a compact shape... it is SO lovely in person!

This is my current Chloe collection: I'm still trying to convince myself to get a baby paddington or a small silverado
My all time favourites are the mini saddle bags. I'm still trying to find the black, brown and python to add to my collection. Sorry about the pic with the cats. I originally took those pics for the pets n purses comp, but it had already closed by the time i got my act together

By the way, i thought i would post this pic as well, it's not mine, it's just an auction on ebay but i think these Chloe bags are gorgeous
i've sort of got a thing for Chloe's python handbags... it's such a pity we're not allowed to bring anything python into Australia

Here's my beaded suede clutch, I dont know anything about it's history as I got it from ebay. The serial code says SC 13-01-05-54 so I guess it is from -01 or -05..?

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.
