What's next for Chloé after the iconic Paddington?

If we know one thing about Chloé, it’s that the French maison can satiate even the most fiendish of bag fiends.

For those in the market for a new everyday staple this autumn, Chloé offers up the Aby, debuted in its pre-fall 2019 collection and heir to the iconic Paddington.

Fashionistas of the early Noughties will remember Hollywood’s A-listers donning the Paddington in 2006 with its signature oversized padlock.

Available in two sizes, the Aby offers something characteristically Chloé – but modernised. With a new interpretation on the oversized padlock, muted colours and feminine form, the Aby brings the best aspects of the French brand’s history into modern relevance.

This is a common theme in creative director Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s fourth full-season collection at Chloé.

With a structured body, generous capacity, and soft angles, the Aby bag is as practical as it is desirable; it can be worn in hand, over the shoulder or crossbody with any look.

The pre-fall collection unveiled the Aby in a supple calfskin sepia brown, motty grey, light cloud and black. But the most recent fall/winter collection has showcased the Aby in a new croco-embossed leather.
