Not simply a bag, but a statement of restrained elegance from one of Paris's most storied houses.
The Designer's Vision
2010s. The Paraty emerged during Chloé's golden era under Hannah MacGibbon, a period defined by intellectual femininity and architectural precision. This is not trend-chasing design. This is craft over trend, heritage over hype. The Paraty's structured silhouette and signature braided handles became an instant icon for collectors who understood that true luxury whispers rather than shouts.
For the Cairo collector, this is not simply a top handle bag, but an entry point into Parisian craftsmanship and investment-grade design. Bold design, Parisian craftsmanship, investment-grade fashion.

Styling Intelligence

For relaxed sophistication, pair with vintage denim and a cashmere knit in New Cairo, letting the architectural structure elevate casual codes. The Paraty transitions seamlessly from Cairo's winter months to year-round wear, the coral red offering versatility across seasons.
This is the piece you reach for when you want to be remembered without trying.
