For me it is one of those Chloes that doesn't grab me at first. Like the quilted Bays: I really was not attracted to the quilting initially and thought it looked like something on an old car seat. But then there were lots of celebs starting to sport it and you could see how great it looked with their outfits. Next thing you know I am trying it on and voila! Love! The car seat stuff looks wonderful to me now. So maybe when I ever try this Paraty on??? Somehow that handle threading through the body of the bag irks me but the hardware is divine.
