The Chloe Bay

Judging from the Chloe Fall 2007 collection, this is possibly the last of the great bags from the House of Chloe. It didn't move me enough at first to dip into my Bag Snob fund but it's definitely growing on me, especially in the white cracked leather version. A retro bag inspired by 1970s luggage (which would explain all the dangling tags Kelly hates), the Bay is one of the hottest bags of the moment not to mention a favorite of fashion editors in New York. Aside from the annoying luggage tags, I like the quilted detail on the functional outer pocket, it zips from corner to corner so you'll actually be able to put large items in it like wallet, keys, or blackberry. Wear it with these super chic Chloe circle buckle flats and you'll instantly update your summer wardrobe.

I liked it when Mischa Barton was carrying this in the brown version. She looked pretty good...which is pretty rare!

Sara:

Adorable shoes! The white shows the details of the bag better.

eclair:

I hadn't seen the Bay in white, and I really love it. It really brings out the retro styling and the white shoes are hot - buy it bagsnob, buy it! Who knows, it may become a collectors item one day, for its historical significance as the last good bag Chloe ever made.

Regina:

i love it. all the white bags you've featured have been gorgeous. would you suggest this one over the miu miu white coffer? this looks lighter and the outer pocket makes it more useful to me too.

Catherine:

I'll pass, it has too many "tongues" on it. It doesn't seem like an "it" bag to me at all.

liliana:

I just love this bag!! Does anybody witch size is Mischa Barton carrying?

Both are adorable! Love the flats and this is my favorite color in the Bay!

Chloe:

steph horsley:
