Thanks!

One last question, where did you end up purchasing the small/medium black with pocket...need to direct my husband that way!

iluvmybags · May 10th, 2009, 05:57 PM

I saw the Front pocket Paraty at Scoop yesterday -- they had the small in Black. I have the calf leather version (in large) and even tho I LOVE this bag, I prefer the softer (and lighter weight) of the lambs leather. I really hope to get one soon!! While the calf leather is gorgeous and it really softens up and slouches after a while, I think the lambs leather ages a little nicer and I like the feel of lambs leather compared to calf leather

Size wise, how does the large look on you? I'm really torn between purchasing the large and the small/medium...thanks for your input!

WOW, the black is gorgeous! The pocket does add some sparkle, it looks fab in the black! Yes, modeling pics! MUST SEE!!!

I absolutely love the front pocket, especially with the cute little clasp closure!

Rowe55 · May 13th, 2009, 02:51 AM

I prefer the non pocket too. it does look neater? Not that im likely to get one anytime soon. They are still 2600 around at miss louise in Melb. but if DJ's were to get in any more i might be very tempted to slap it on the store card. bad Roie I know. I only ever saw 1 paraty at DJs and she was already 'spoken for' can you beleive that, and a python too.

I like the front pocket one. Do you guys think the front pocket version might be on sale this summer? Or this version is popular same as the old version with non pocket? Im thinking to buy it now or wait until summer sale the end of next month.

^^ I wouldn't bank on the Paraty being in many of the sales. A number of stores here in the UK are having difficulty getting stock - You could be lucky - but its difficult to know. Its really infuriating though if you buy and then find it does go 'on sale'. I'd say at the moment - the Paraty with the pocket is probably going to be hard to get 'on sale' in the UK - The regular - you could be lucky - but may have to be quick off the mark.

Umm I dont know what to do. I noticed that so many people come to shop in UK due to weak exchange rate here and no many chloe stores are in this country either. I actually never be able to find any nice items on sale at all. Oh well maybe i should just buy it now. How many colors are the small medium front pocket? I only saw black and beige. Do you know how much is it?... Im not sure its £1048?

About ten years ago I purchased a Bottega, non woven, that is reminisenct of the shape of the Paraty. It's smaller and is in need of some expensive repairs. So instead I decided to put the funds towards a new handbag. I purchased the Paraty from out of state, saved the tax, and am looking forward to receiving it shortly.

Thank you all for your input. You really helped me make my decission. I really appreciate it.

I started this thread because I was very indecisive and wanted your opinions. After all of you were kind enough to express your views, I finally deciding on the original Paraty without the pocket in calf leather.

Well, today my package arrived. I opened it and discovered the lamb Paraty with the front pocket! !! Also, the dustbag was white without any logo. (Is this the correct dustbag?)

Now I'm back to the beginning and have to make a decision. Such irony!!!

alisonanna · May 15th, 2009, 07:24 AM

it must be fate!

shrinkychick72 · May 15th, 2009, 06:49 PM

Maybe it's fate! My dustbag did have the name on the front...would love to see pics of the bag!!!

Again, thank you all for your input. I took my lambskin Paraty with the pocket to the local Chloe boutique and put it next to the calfskin Paraty without the pocket. I think that I've overly obsessed on the decision. Both looked great and since the lambskin one was purchased at Saks with 30% off and no tax, as opposed to the calfskin one at full price plus tax, I decided to keep the lambskin one. Also, if I don't want the pocket to show, I'll just wear it backwards and have the best of both worlds.
