Hello Everyone!

After a couple of years just hanging out on the Hermes board, I have ventured into Chloe-Land. I was window shopping last week and came across a large tan Paraty. A friend of mine was interested, so I had the sales manager of the shop take photos of it on me. Now I'm wondering if I should get it.

Please be honest / ruthless!! I don't want to have buyer's remorse. I have read bag critics reviews and they have only really been rating the Black Python version as having any "relevance" (I admit that bag is gorgeous).

Thanks!

Sorry! I just noticed there is a sticky topic for "Opinions Needed". Mods, feel free to move this thread if need be!

Newbie mistake. Ooops.

That bag looks fab on you!!
I just recently bought the large (same style as above) in red, and I ABSOLUTELY love it!! I also have the regular style in python, but much prefer the style above. I think it's my favorite bag.

I think it look great on you....and the size is just right!

I have the chocolate paraty and I think its the most stunning bag....

The paraty is very popluar among chloe lovers, if it appeals to you - I would say get it...

jasperella · May 3rd, 2009, 10:21 PM

Thank you, everyone!! It sounds like I will NOT have buyer's remorse!

I love the large Paraty. I have it in black and chocolate and they are my most worn bags right now. I definitely recommend the bag.

Oooohhh the tan is hot!!! I have a s/m chocolate and love it!!! I have to say the tan really pops! Let us know what you decide!

I have the black python one and I love it... You look good with the larger one. I really love the sand colour. So go for it...

i_wona · May 4th, 2009, 05:54 AM

Don't know if you've gotten it yet, but I'm putting in another vote! The bag looks classy, subtle and gorgeous on you yet retains a certain edge - nothing but shameless enabling from me!

alisonanna · May 4th, 2009, 07:39 AM

I have read some of the same reviews, and I don't get why they say this bag is only relevant in python. I think it has great style.

The large looks amazing on you. I don't know what it is about this bag and this shape, but it really appeals to me.

I have the purple, but I just LOVE the tan!

I've got the large Paraty in Old Pink and love everything about it although I do wish I had the later version with the more comfortable shoulder strap. I'm just wondering what the bag critics mean by 'relevance' though ? Relevant to what ? I think your modelling photos look very chic, so I'm with all the other posters on this thread, go for it and enjoy !

Looks amazing on you, especially with your haircolor.

The size is perfect for you and the tan sade is awesome
