"Chloe" 2010’s quilted saddle shoulder bag

Introducing an iconic piece from Chloe that quietly incorporates the free and feminine sensibility of bohemian into an urban wardrobe, where soft curves and artisanal quilting coexist.

With a rounded saddle form layered with geometric stitching, this exquisite piece embodies a strength that does not end with sweetness.

This piece can be reliably identified as from around 2016, with the interior leather tab bearing the MADE IN HUNGARY mark and the imprint 01-16-99-65, consistent with the manufacturing background adopted in some of the main lines at that time. Furthermore, since the tab is stamped directly on a thick piece of leather rather than a booklet-type, it aligns with the transitional styles of the mid-2010s, and the format of the management code including the 16 notation follows the system indicating manufacturing in 2016, which is also a point of consideration.

In terms of design, the language of the era built by Chloe Wight Keller is strongly reflected, and the contours with soft roundness reminiscent of Drew create both visual gentleness and practicality. Adding diamond quilting creates a three-dimensionality that seems to contain air, and the way shadows shift smoothly with the light makes it feel as soft as fabric despite being leather.

The exterior is based on smooth lambskin, which has a moist texture that immediately feels like it adheres to the fingers, and the evenness of the quilting lines clearly conveys quality. The flap is designed with two curved layers, making the opening and closing movements look beautiful, and creating depth in the front view, so even a compact size can be three-dimensional.

On the front, modest rectangular metal parts are used, and instead of asserting with logos, the balance that gives an air of sophistication through the outline of the hardware is excellent. The gold-finished metal contrasts with the soft leather, creating tension within sweetness and playing a role in tightening the overall look.

The interior is lined with suede, so the texture visible when opened contrasts with the exterior, functioning as a luxury only accessible to the owner. Additionally, the suede surface on the back of the flap softens the contact, contributing to the care for contents, and the fact that even the unseen parts are designed for comfort adds value.

The shoulder strap features keyhole-shaped adjuster holes, which are beautiful as a design detail as well as functional, and even the act of adjusting the length looks elegant. This design, which preserves a poetic femininity within practicality, is one of the reasons why Chloe during the Wight Keller era is being reevaluated.

This exquisite piece is especially recommended for those who want to add a soft elegance to everyday life without going overly mode, and is perfect for those who wish to speak of luxury not with large logos but through materials and curves. As MOOD also believes, the ideal bag is one that remains close for a long time through its tactile satisfaction and the completeness of its presence, rather than symbolic strength, and it can be said to be a straightforward response to that philosophy.

In terms of styling, pairing with simple jackets or coats that highlight the softness of curves creates a striking look, and even just matching high-quality slacks with knitwear or shirts naturally combines femininity and neatness. For your feet, finishing with leather shoes or boots will leave a bohemian impression while maintaining an urban and genderless mood.

Take this opportunity.
