Hi Ladies, I've never purchased a Chloe handbag before and I've read on a few of the threads that some of their bags can be quite heavy.
I'm interested in this tote because its so chick and quite understated.

Does anyone own one of these or has tried one on? I'm in Australia and I've found one in another state but I can't fly there to try on the bag lol. However your opinions will be making my mind up and I will order the bag without trying it on myself ... just hoping its as pretty and practical as it looks!!

i don't think it's as heavy. i would compare it to the ethel. pretty light.

^Seconded. It's a very light, roomy and functional bag. It's also quite slouchy when empty. Where are you buying the bag from? Do they accept returns in case you find that it's not right for you?

Thank you both for your opinion.. It retails for 3k in Australia. But if I buy from Nordstrom it works out to be 2k Australian dollars paying all taxes and duties... saving 1k... but I've called all stockists in Australia and there is only one left in another state.. I was just going to buy it hoping it would be a great bag.. lol The bag does look very big and I hope the leather is quite durable..
