Chloe by Clare Waight Keller/ 2015 “Faye” Beautiful Suede Calf Skin Shoulder Bag Brown

Introducing the iconic Faye bag, representing Chloe (2011–2017), for which Clare Waite Keller served as Creative Director.

A standout piece that harmoniously blends a classic 1970s-inspired bohemian spirit with contemporary refinement. Its most distinctive features are the luxurious combination of supple, finely finished suede (nubuck) flaps and smooth, substantial smooth calf leather. On the flap, the understated “Chloé” brand logo is subtly embossed, while the contrast between different materials further highlights the quality of the craftsmanship.

Dominating presence at the front is delivered by a large round gold ring, and delicate silver-and-gold metal chain links connected from the side fastenings create the signature hardware detailing of this bag. The closure is equipped with convenient magnetic buttons, and the interior features an accordion-style two-layer structure for easy organization—offering not only design appeal but also exceptional practicality.

Wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody (slanted carry) with the included leather strap. Alternatively, remove the strap or hold it tucked under your arm to enjoy it with a dramatic shift in character as a clutch—an all-purpose masterpiece that adapts effortlessly to any occasion.

For styling, we recommend a noble, urban adult mode look that uses Faye in a deep tobacco brown as the accent, paired with a navy shirt coat.

The intelligent, deep color contrast created by navy and brown (noble × earthy tones) adds depth throughout the entire ensemble. While the navy shirt coat is cut with clean, straight lines, the bag’s warm suede texture and the graceful curves of the gold ring intersect with it—adding quiet radiance and balance to your styling.

With its A-line silhouette that flows with a substantial, luxurious feel down to the feet, styling the bag—deliberately and casually—as if it were a clutch at hand enhances a polished, effortless sense of chic and relaxed elegance. Pair it with sharply defined accessories such as black square sunglasses to achieve a mode-inspired presence without any roughness.
