Pre-Owned Chloé Handbags in Miami

Since Gaby Aghion sprang out of Paris’ Left Bank to bring fashion to the masses in the mid-1950s, the Chloé brand has evinced the approachable, Bohemian style that Aghion championed to counter the haute couture scene that had dominated for decades. Aghion and her lead designers over the ensuing decades built a worldwide audience that had young fashionistas dreaming of being a Chloé girl!

However, it wasn’t until the early 2000s when Phoebe Philo took the reins that Chloé entered the fashion handbag market and took the industry by storm with its first It bag, the Paddington. With all 8,000 bags sold through pre-orders before they even reached store shelves, Chloé stamped itself as a must-have bag for the decades to come.

The Effortless, Bohemian Elegance of Authentic Chloé Handbags

Succeeding creative directors continued the Chloé style by introducing sleek but simple bags that enhanced the company’s Bohemian fashions. The Paddington’s heavy, leather-covered padlock might have been the most extravagant feature of a Chloé bag, but they still managed to pull off the luxury look without violating their intended approachable aesthetic.

The effortless elegance kept celebrities and fashionistas flocking to the Chloé brand, ensuring that whether they were heading out on a day excursion or a night on the town, they never looked like they were overdoing their style.

Iconic Chloé Styles: Finding the Faye, Marcie, and Drew in Miami

If you missed the initial offering of these exclusive Chloé handbags, you don’t want to pass up the opportunity to renew your love affair with all things Chloé by shopping for vintage versions. Among the finds available through Miami Twice are such classics as:

• Marcie: The Chloé Marcie was creative director Hannah MacGibbon’s take on the hobo bag that was released in 2010 with a definite equestrian feel. The curved flap with top-stitching evoked the supple feel of a fine leather saddle. While the house experimented with finishes and proportions, the look remained consistent throughout its run. The mini Marcie evoked thoughts of the 1970s Chloé perfume bottle with its rounded shape.
• Drew: Clare Waight Keller opened her tenure as creative director in 2011 with a bang, releasing the Drew, a more elegant, modern version of the saddle bag. The Drew threw a nod to the Paddington with its hasp-pinned clasp, while featuring soft leather and a lightweight design. The metal details and chain gave it the modern look that fit Keller’s revival of Chloé’s Bohemian roots.
• Faye: Introduced in 2015, the Faye appealed to buyers with its nearly flat appearance created by razor-thin edges. The simple flap secured with a magnetic snap was accented by a ring and chain that gave the Faye a unique yet recognizable appearance.
