CHLOE PENELOPE SMALL TOP HANDLE BAG BLACK

Step into the realm of timeless elegance with the CHLOE Penelope Small Top Handle Bag Black, a masterpiece of craftsmanship that pays homage to Chloé’s rich heritage while exuding contemporary allure. Crafted from luxurious nappa lambskin, this exquisite creation combines a straight top line with a structured silhouette, resulting in a sleek aesthetic that epitomizes sophistication and refinement.

At the heart of the Penelope bag lies a tribute to fashion history, as it features a hand-embroidered crystal arrow—a nod to Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic shirt dress designed for Chloé’s Fall-Winter 1983-1984 collection. This emblematic motif, also donned by actress Maude Apatow at the Met Gala 2023, symbolizes a fusion of timeless elegance and modern sensibility. The intricate craftsmanship behind this adornment combines the “Aari” and “Zardosi” embroidery techniques, requiring an astounding 22 hours of meticulous work by two skilled beaders in India.

Adding to its allure, the bag is adorned with the line’s signature metallic piece, which elegantly closes the flap, infusing the piece with a sophisticated detail that exudes understated opulence. Within, a spacious main compartment, complemented by an inside flat pocket, offers practicality without compromising on style.

Inspired by the timeless qualities of Homer’s Penelope, known for her ideal femininity and unwavering loyalty, the Penelope line embodies the essence of the Chloé DNA. Rounded lines, refined details, and exquisite craftsmanship converge to create a collection that celebrates femininity and strength. Drawing inspiration from the Maison’s vintage jewelry, the iconic metallic closure, meticulously developed in Italy, adds a signature finish to each piece.

Versatility is key with the Penelope bag, as it offers multiple carry options. Whether carried by the top handle, draped elegantly over the shoulder, or worn cross-body with the long removable chain strap, this accessory effortlessly adapts to every facet of your lifestyle.

With dimensions measuring 6.7 inches in width, 6.3 inches in height, and 3.5 inches in depth, the Penelope bag strikes the perfect balance between compactness and functionality. The handle drop of 3.9 inches and strap drop of 21.7 inches ensure comfortable wear, allowing you to navigate your day with effortless grace and poise.

Crafted from semi-aniline leather, this CHLOE Penelope Small Top Handle Bag Black boasts a half-transparent finish that enhances its natural character while preserving its inherent beauty. Furthermore, Chloé’s collaboration with Leather Working Group (LWG) certified leather manufacturers underscores its commitment to sustainability and ethical craftsmanship, ensuring that every creation meets rigorous standards of environmental responsibility.

Complete with a dust bag for storage, each Penelope bag is numbered, a testament to its exclusivity and the meticulous attention to detail invested in its creation. Embrace the spirit of Penelope and elevate your ensemble with this exquisite accessory that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, sophistication with versatility, and timeless elegance with contemporary allure.
