In this edition of the shopping confessional, I have another handbag to share (and there will be more. Oh yes, there will be more). I purchased my first Chloé! I liked the Paddington when it first came out, but I never got one and now it's passé. But you know what I love even more than the Paddington? Chloé's next megahit, the "Paraty."
Now I have 2 of them, and I'm really trying to resist the urge to get another. :/slitherhither and I were at Nordstrom this weekend and I fell in love with the color Rock, which is a gray-brown, and a much more neutral color, so I could use it with greater flexibility.
The first one I got was the "Medium Paraty" made with calfskin leather in Indian Summer:
In real life the orange is darker. I love the hardware on this bag. Here's another angle, with a look at the interior:
This is one of those handbags that seems to totally transform once you actually see it carried. I LOVE the way it looks when I'm using it. Here are some shots of celebs using it and see if you agree!
Reese Witherspoon (hers is in python skin)
Alessandra Ambrosio
Rachel Zoe
Katie Holmes (hers is also in python skin)
It's also been seen on a certain Kardashian, but as that only detracts from this bag's loveliness, I'll refrain from sharing that one. -.-
To me, the Paraty is one of those handbags that is all the accessory you need. It doesn't matter what you wear, it looks awesome, and makes even the plainest of outfits look good.
When it arrived I loved it EVEN MORE in person than I had seeing it online, and I had loved it a whole lot already. So on impulse I bought another one, this time the "Medium Paraty Military" satchel in Berry Cupcake (sheepskin):
The only difference between the regular Paraty and Military Paraty, as far as I can tell, is the strap.
The Military bag looks best, imho, when the strap is short and carried on the shoulder, but for some reason I can't find an image of someone carrying it that way. >< I've seen it before, though apparently I can't remember where.
