Yes! Would also love to have the Ethel back, wore mine into the ground and would love a new one, classic or updated
To my eye the proportions and handles of the Medium are noticeably different from the original model.
I had a red and a black original Edith (both long gone). The red was my first high-end bag (escalated from Prada nylon bags) and I loved it, loved it, loved it. The black one followed a year or so later and by then they had added the shoulder strap.
I don't regret rehoming them but the new version definitely makes me nostalgic.... nevertheless the new model just seems a bit too stiff and "off," dimensions-wise, IYKWIM.....

OK, I just looked at the chloe website and they are showing the medium worn over the shoulder - I guess the longer handles are so you can do that (assuming you're not wearing a coat and have skinny arms).
The large ones look a lot like the runway versions.

I just picked this up during sales on Memorial Day
Definitely an eye-catcher!
I quite like it, didn't at first, but it really grew on me.It fits quite a bit for a small bag. I ordered one via Chloe online but was really disappointed to find that the strap WILL NOT go crossbody (unless you want your bag handles to be up in your armpit, and I'm not a tall gal). Also the way the strap attaches makes the bag tip a bit weirdly when it has stuff in it.The mini Edith is so cute! Can anyone share how much it fits?
It went right back. Hopefully somebody at Chloe will sort out the design defects and update it with sensible carry options. It's a great bag and I really loved the color (chili red).
Thank you for the info!
It’s a shame the bag didn’t work out for you. I’m short and I find most of the straps too-something for me, usually they are too long, as I like to carry them on the shoulder. But it’s definitely annoying if the strap is too long for the shoulder but too short for crossbody!
I understand many ladies are of the mindset if the strap is not long enough or too long they return a bag. But if the strap is removable i just buy one on etsy etc and change them out. Im tallish so many dont fit me even if adjustable. Afterall I want the bag im not paying that money for the strap. To me it seems like a fixable solution. My only problem is the 2 chanel reissues that i need both chains lengthened. They will go to leather surgeons cos dammit i will have my crossbody.
I hear you and actually tried that with the mini I returned (and still have the Mautto strap to use with other bags). Problem with the Edith is the way the strap attaches (lower down on the back from the handles) so even when it’s full, the weight of the handles tips it over. It’s just not a well designed size. Sadly.
