When the Chloé Aby Day bag was introduced back in August, it was like at very first sight for me. The Aby Day bag checked all of my handbag boxes as well as possessed numerous crucial style details I look for when I’m buying for a new bag. I got this gorgeous purse for Christmas from my hubby as well as have been utilizing it nonstop ever since. I have a great deal of thoughts on the Aby Day bag, so let’s dive best in, shall we?
Estetik
I like whatever about the aesthetics of this design. The rich colored leather, the juxtaposition of the pebbly grain leather against the smooth leather straps, the mixed metal hardware, as well as the star of the show, the signature Chloé lock. The lock on the Aby is, of course, a nod to Chloé’s renowned Paddington bag. one of the most significant it-bags of all time, the Paddington is one of my personal preferred styles ever, so the lock on the Aby was a extremely appealing style detail for me (I adore it!). The general look of the bag achieves the bohemian high-end vibe that is quintessential Chloé.
There is a removable take on strap which I opt to keep removed for a cleaner look. I just recently transferred to the suburbs as well as drive almost everywhere, so the handheld deal with works well for me in my day-to-day wear however the take on strap would be a great choice if you are a city dweller or choose a hands-free bag.
I own this bag in the beautiful sepia shade, which is a gorgeous brown color with reddish orange undertones. Chloé’s sepia color is quickly one of the most spectacular shades of brown I’ve ever seen on a handbag, it really is beautiful. It matches just about every color of the rainbow, so it integrated into my wardrobe rather easily. I’ve been pairing with a great deal of black as well as navy garments this winter, I like the look of the sepia against a dark backdrop.
Usability + Functionality
It pains me to provide a bag as gorgeous as the Aby a score as low as a 2.5, however this bag falls majorly short for usability as well as performance (at least for me). I understand what you’re thinking…it’s most likely as well heavy keeping that huge lock on it, right? Surprisingly, no. This bag is lightweight even when filled to capability with stuff (and I definitely bring a great deal of stuff) in spite of the big lock. While the lock isn’t a problem, the front clasp of this bag is the genuine problem for me as well as my primary gripe. The clasp is unlike any type of I’ve had on a bag before, as well as not in a great way. The clasp clicks in upwards, so when you want to unclasp it you have to hold the body of the bag down as well as pull the clasp upwards. Clasping the bag closed isn’t an issue, as it clicks in seamlessly, however unclasping it is where the difficulty begins. I have to utilize one hand to pull up the clasp as well as my second hand to hold the body of the bag down while I lift. opening the bag takes two hands, which is not convenient at all. I frequently have my hands full with my keys, my phone, as well as much more frequently than not, an iced coffee, as well as I am continuously frustrated when getting in as well as out of the interior of this bag.
Unfortunately the clasp is not the end of my performance woes. I likewise take umbrage with the take on strap. It is truly difficult to put it on as well as off, which is a deterrent for me as well as I opt not to utilize it whatsoever as a result. This is partially an aesthetics preference too, although I desire the strap was simpler to utilize when I want to wear it that way.
The clasp as well as the straps may be difficult to use, however the interior of the bag is a dream for an organized wearer. The interior has two compartments, a middle zipped pocket, as well as a flat pocket as well. I have no difficulty locating products inside my bag, which is a certain plus for the design.
Quality + Construction
The Aby Day bag is extremely well made, it feels as well as looks extremely elegant in person, much much more so than it did online. The materials are top notch, the hardware is gorgeous as well as shiny, the leather is soft. However, I am knocking off a star in this classification for two reasons. The very first is my bag came with some loose threads that I had to cut off, which when a bag costs four figures, it’s regrettable to have to take a pair of scissors to it. Secondly, I frequently discover myself pulling on the clasp so difficult that I am concerned it’s going to rip best off.
The materials of the bag are a mix of grained as well as shiny calfskin on the exterior as well as a cotton canvas lining on the interior, which assists keep the weight of the Aby Day bag manageable. The leather itself is extremely gorgeous as well as I’m enamored with the grains of the pebble, it truly is a stunner.
Price + Value
I discover this bag to be of great value for a premier designer handbag. The medium size (which I own) retails for $2,390,Men min fästman kunde göra det på Farfetch för 1 300 dollar. Han var så glad för sig själv för att ha upptäckt det till försäljning, det var verkligen söt! Du kan säkert upptäcka den här väskan till försäljning om du bläddrar tillräckligt svårt, vilket alltid är en bra sak om du är en fynd shoppare. Estetiken i denna väska i kombination med kostnadspunkten gör det till ett extremt verkligt värde i mitt sinne såväl som jag inte tvekar att motivera kostnaden för denna väska.
Aby Day Bag finns i tre storlekar, små, medelstora och stora. Som nämnts äger jag den medelstora storleken, som är idealisk för mig. Jag gillar enorma väskor såväl som den medelstora storleken är verkligen enormt tillräckligt enligt mina stora kärleksfulla väskestandarder.
Enligt Chloé -webbplatsen är dimensionerna för varje storlek följande:
Liten: 22 W x 22 h x 11 d cm med en minimilängd på remmen på 48 cm samt maximalt 55 cm.
Medium: 30 W x 27 h x 13 d cm med en minimilängd på remmen på 46 cm samt maximalt 54 cm.
Stor: 38,5 W x 31 d x 13 cm d med en minimilängd på remmen på 45 cm samt en maximal längd på 53 cm.
På grund av den större karaktären av den aby dagväskan lever den lika mycket som namnet och fungerar mycket bättre för dagtid. Jag kan inte se mig själv ta den här väskan på en utekväll till ett formellt tillfälle, men den fungerar helt för ärenden, arbete eller resor. Jag kan till och med i form min MacBook Air till den medelstora storleken (det är en snäv klämma, men det fungerar!).
Uthållighet
Chloé Aby -väskan kan slå dig som ett förbipasserande mönster förutsatt att den nostalgiska naturen hos det enorma Chloé Paddington -låset, men jag tror att det har förblir makt. Silhuetten av den aby dagväskan är klassisk, vilket jag känner kommer att få denna väska att stå tidens test. Om du är orolig att låset potentiellt kommer att datera väskan på några månader eller år, kan du eliminera det för en snyggare look. Låset är min absoluta föredragna del av påsen, så jag har inget mål att ta bort det, men du kan om du ville nu eller senare.
Helhetsbetyg
Trots mina klagomål med låset och ta remmen på den aby dagväskan, tror jag fortfarande att denna väska är värd att det är allmänt betyg. Jag är besatt av designen, låset är iögonfallande, liksom väskan är välgjord. Det lever verkligen lika mycket som namnet som en idealisk dagväska såväl som jag upptäcker att jag når det nästan varje morgon eftersom jag öppnade den på julmorgon för några veckor sedan. Jag känner mig positiv med den här väskan på skurk i min arm och upptäcker mig själv riktigt leende när jag ser ner och ser väskan, vilket är en säker indikation på ett bra köp (eller gåva i mitt fall). Om den här väskan finns på din önskelista föreslår jag extremt att ta steget (särskilt om du kan upptäcka ett mördarebjudande som min fästman gjorde).
