Since its inception in 1952, Chloe has mastered the alchemy of effortless femininity and bohemian rigor, a duality perfectly embodied in its Basket series. The Large Woody Basket and Small Woody Basket showcase signature rattan handles - a nod to 1970s artisanal craftsmanship - paired with buttery leather trims that whisper luxury. Circular stitching patterns mirror the brand's iconic Chloe Marcie bag, creating visual harmony across collections while maintaining distinct identities. Neutral tones dominate, but sudden bursts of terracotta or sage green reveal Chloe's playful spirit, proving practicality need not sacrifice poetry.
For weekend escapades, pair the Large Woody Basket with linen wide-leg trousers and a crochet camisole - its roomy silhouette accommodates beach towels and vintage paperbacks alike. Transition to cityscapes by swapping rattan for the structured Chloe tote bag in grained calfskin, ideal for tablet-carrying professionals. The Small Woody Basket shines at dusk; style it with slip dresses and strappy sandals, letting the bag's compact form complement rather than compete. Unexpectedly, layer it over tailored blazers for texture contrast. Pro tip: The crossbody strap (a subtle cousin to the Chloe crossbody bag ethos) adds hands-free functionality to sunset cocktail hours.
What makes the Basket series truly transcendent is its nonchalant dialogue between eras. Creative Director Chemena Kamali honors founder Gaby Aghion's revolutionary ready-to-wear philosophy through these bags - accessible luxury that refuses to trivialize craftsmanship. Unlike seasonal 'it-bags', these pieces evolve like wine, their rattan patinas deepening with use. As the fashion world pivots toward radical authenticity, Chloe's Basket line stands testament: true innovation isn't about erasing history, but reimagining it through sun-kissed, contemporary lenses.
Discover how Chloe continues to redefine boho-chic at their flagship stores, where heritage baskets share shelves with modern marvels like the Marcie satchel - each stitch a chapter in an ongoing style odyssey.
