Wasn't intending to buy a bag since I am (or was) on a bag ban, but walking thru Nordstroms today I was faced with a deal I just couldn't turn away from. I don't know what style the bag is. I only find a style number on the ticket, but the color is Pink-Berry and it's basically a satchel type bag with nice long handles and a small gold plate running across the front of the bag with Chloe imprinted on it. The leather is very thick and I am wondering how Chloe leather wears. I am a Marc Jacob, Chanel, YSL and Balenciaga bag woman, now adding Chloe to the mix. How does the leather hold up. I am used to Balenciaga leather which is very soft and pliable and this leather seems a little thicker and harder. Does the leather soften up upon use and does it scratch easily. Any replies would be most welcome. Thanks.

here is the link that you've mentioned above about the bag style. To be honest I'm not sure what this style is called. However, chloe leather is generally very good quality and hardy.
congratulations - and welcome to chloe:

Congrats on your first Chloe 
That bag in the auction is definitely some type of Shelby model, I don't know it's official name though sorry.
Chloe leather tends to get softer and more flexible with use, although I don't think it will feel as delicate as Bal leather does, I don't have any Chloes as soft as my Bals. Chloe leather is really hardy though and doesn't show scratches very easily. Congrats on a great purchase and a stunning colour!

Thanks for putting up the ebay post showing the bag I purchased. Is Shelby a popular style in the Chloe line. I am wondering how I could have scored such a great deal in Nordstroms - something like 65% off. You know how it is....when you get a good deal you start to question why!!! (At least that's how I am.)
Please figure out the way to post the photos coz I loooove to see some modeling pics!!
it is a very lovely and ladylike bag, top quality, and you obviously love it!! 
feel a Chloe moment coming for you! .........

I know I got a good deal. I was thrilled to find it. Though I placed myself on a bag ban also, it's impossible for bag lovers to walk past a great deal and turn your back. Well, at least it is for me. My ban started three bags ago. I just can't stop myself. There is always something that causes temptation which inenvitably leads me to make another purchase, and another and another. Going to need three jobs to support this habit.
