I don't know how Chloe is staying in business with bags like this. I was never a fan of the Heloise but this small version with the ridiculously long handles of ropey knots takes ugly to a whole new level. Seriously, those knots look like turds. And the entire thing is way out of proportion. It is also drawstring, another pet peeve of mine when it comes to bags, it is just not something that makes sense and it is extremely unattractive. It also has those big ass tabs like the Bay bag, again, not something I was in love with. It's like they just put all the grossest details of their bag collection on one bag. The only thing remotely acceptable is the teal blue color, which I am thinking I need for Fall. But trust me, it will not be a Chloe because at this rate, I doubt they will have anything I would spend money on. But then again, I am known to be wrong =) But PLEASE, make me wrong and shock the hell out of me!!! $1600 at Browns Fashion.
Ick. That is one seriously ugly bag.

Haha. Gotta love Kelly's hilarious reviews!!
You go Kelly! I agree. I think Chloe bags are way overdesigned.
Oh Amen! And not only is it ugly but I bet its heavy too. So the wearer gets to suffer twice. By the way, this is my first time to your blog. I love it!
It's truly comical! What were they thinking?
one word: Fug
don't mean to sound childish but
"Eewwwww......"
Wow, that's really bad. What were they thinking? When I see a bag like this I always wonder if the designers are playing a joke on everyone. Let' see how many suckers spend $1600 on this silly thing. Anyone else think that?
Quote from Browns Fashion site:
'The perfect size this Chloe bag should be taken everywhere with you.'
LOL
I so badly wanted a heloise last fall that I stalked the bags all over the internet and at Neiman's. In the end, I held back from buying it and while a part of me likes it, I am glad I never committed to it. It seemed like a bag that would not hold up well over the years and the knotting details made the bag a little uncomfortable. THIS bag is just a lazy attempt by Chloe to milk the heloise's popularity. It looks like a really bad knock off of itself.
I expect to see this one on your list of the worst bags of 2008.
OH MY!!!!!! When I saw this bag I first thought of the movie ALIEN. SCI FI don't you think?
That's ugly! They must have run our of ideas for bags design. Anyway, I was never attracted to Chloe bags.
It reminds me of an octopus swimming to attack it's prey and wring the daylights out of the poor critter. Alternatively, it can look like a cuttle fish having just mated with another cuttle fish and is ready to implant a gazillion eggs into some coral cave so as to hatch and carry on the next generation. I dunno, but it's definitely more zoological-looking than I'd want in a bag.
Take care,

I agree that strap looks out of place on this bag and the gray color is not that attractive either, I would never buy or wear this bag it makes no sense.
i think its ugliness has a certain kind of beauty about it. its honest. its full throttle, going all the way fugly. my compliments to the designer.
.. i like it
i dont know what you guys are talking about
