The New Lexa

It’s still only arriving in many countries so I’m not sure if it’s been discontinued just yet. It seems to be a very good selling bag.
it's not available on Chloe US and UK sites, but it's available on Chloe Japan and many retailers have it in Europe in new colors. It's not discontinued, just for sale on selected markets.
After lusting after it for a few months, I finally got my very first Chloe bag!
I wanted brown, that much I knew. Couldn't find a German site with a combination of decent colours, a good price and the colour names. I ordered a medium in what I was hoping would be the colour I wanted. It was even on sale for 1.050€. The day after a bag came online in caramel, which in the pictures looked like what I have been looking for. Because I didn't check the measurements, that was a small. Should have probably realised when it was 945€.
The the medium arrived and it was in the colour nut. Which is absolutely gorgeous but much lighter than what I was looking for. The the second bag arrived and I was immediately mad at myself because it was a small and I didn't realise before. Turns out caramel is a little too orange in person and the nut absolutely beautiful. Plus, the small just isn't big enough. So the small is going back and I'm absolutely in love with my new bag.
Now I just have to remind myself that I don't need to buy a Faye daybag (is that what they're called), luckily I've only seen it in light blue, that colour doesn't speak to me.

Hi GemsBerry, have you started using this beautiful Motty Grey one? Are you liking it? I am considering this exact one, love the nuetral colour and full leather.
OMG, where did you see this tri-color one?
I did a bit in Summer, it's a great bag, neutral beautiful color. i just would avoid wearing it with blue denim to prevent color transfer.
Thanks GemsBerry. Yes the tricolour one is divine. I haven’t seen it in real life but I definitely would buy it if I saw one. I love the Motty Grey one like yours a lot though.OMG, where did you see this tri-color one?

oh, these beautiful limited editions pieces ... you see them in the store once and they tell you we only have 3 in Japan or USA. then you go to think about it and next week when you decide to buy it it's sold out everywhere.
you won't regret Motty grey, it has some aristocratic feeling.
I’m really loving the look of this bag more and more. I would love a Small one in Grey.

Can any of you lovely ladies with the leather version tell me which part is lambskin and which is calfskin? Various websites lists the leather version as: "soft grain lambskin and smooth calfskin" (https://www.neimanmarcus.com/Chloe-Lexa-Small-Shoulder-Bag/prod190040061/p.prod). Does this mean the body of the purse is lambskin and the small strip (closure) is calfskin? I am looking to purchase this handbag but I am a little hesitant about lambskin so please do let me know if you find the leather to be relatively durable. Thanks!!
I've wondered as well . I think the strip is calf and the rest of the bag lamb from various descriptions I've read but I'm not sure . The corners lose colour very quickly on mine, so I moisturise with collonil 1909 lotion and then add a little bit of collonil mandel shoe cream . I then respray with carbon gold .
The rest of the bag still looks lovely and it hasn't softened on mine yet, but I will use it more regularly during the spring and summer.
They seem to be gradually phasing it out .
