Why we love it

Description & history

Chloé Paraty medium model in black grained leather · double handles with sculpted links · detachable shoulder strap · aged-effect gold-tone brass hardware · one internal zipped pocket · Made in Italy · grade B.

The Paraty is one of the bags that defined Chloé's identity in the 2010s. Its silhouette is recognisable at first glance: a soft body that gently slouches under its own weight, a front flap that creates a play of volume, and those sculpted gold-tone brass links connecting the handles to the body of the bag. It is a bag with the rare talent of looking both relaxed and sophisticated — equally at home stepping out of a taxi or onto a runway.

In black, the Paraty becomes the ultimate versatile bag. The grained leather absorbs micro-scratches and ages without showing obvious marks, making it a practical choice for everyday use. The aged-effect gold-tone brass hardware creates a striking contrast with the black leather — this warm matte finish is a deliberate design choice by the house, giving the bag its lived-in character straight from the workshop.

The medium model offers a well-proportioned capacity for everyday use: a small iPad, cosmetic pouch, phone, continental wallet and glasses case fit comfortably inside. The bag can be carried three ways — by hand using the handles, on the shoulder or crossbody thanks to the detachable strap. The interior is clean with signs of previous use and a zipped pocket to separate smaller items.

Good overall condition, grade B — black leather in good condition with light signs of previous use, light rubbing on the handles and shoulder strap. No major flaws to note. The interior is clean. The bag will be delivered with a RARR Vintage dust bag and a RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
