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?
Estetica
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,Tuttavia, mio marito è stato in grado di segnarlo su Farfetch per $ 1.300. Era così felice di se stesso per averlo scoperto in vendita, era davvero carino! Puoi sicuramente scoprire questa borsa in vendita se navighi abbastanza difficile, il che è sempre una grande cosa se sei un acquirente di affari. L’estetica di questa borsa combinata con il punto di costo lo rende un valore estremamente equo nella mia mente e non ho esitazione nel giustificare il costo di questa borsa.
La borsa da giorno ABY è disponibile in tre dimensioni, piccole, medie e grandi. Come accennato, possiedo la dimensione media, che è ideale per me. Mi piacciono le borse enormi e le dimensioni medie sono sicuramente sufficienti per i miei grandi standard di sacchetti amorevoli.
Secondo il sito Web Chloé, le dimensioni di ogni dimensione sono le seguenti:
Piccolo: 22 W x 22 H x 11 d cm con una lunghezza minima del cinturino di 48 cm e un massimo di 55 cm.
Medium: 30 W x 27 H X 13 d CM con una lunghezza minima del cinturino di 46 cm e un massimo di 54 cm.
Grande: 38,5 W x 31 d x 13 cm d con una lunghezza minima del cinturino di 45 cm e una lunghezza massima di 53 cm.
A causa della natura più ampia della borsa ABY Day, vive tanto quanto il suo nome e funziona molto meglio per l’uso diurno. Non riesco a vedermi prendere questa borsa in una serata in un’occasione formale, tuttavia funziona completamente per commissioni, lavoro o viaggi. Posso anche in forma la mia aria del MacBook in medie dimensioni (è una stretta stretta, comunque funziona!).
Capacità di resistenza
La borsa Chloé Aby può colpirti come modello di passaggio ha fornito la natura nostalgica dell’enorme chiusura Chloé Paddington, tuttavia credo che abbia un potere di rimanere. La silhouette della borsa ABY Day è classica, che ritengo farà resistere a questa borsa. Se sei preoccupato che la serratura uscirà potenzialmente la borsa tra qualche mese o anni, puoi eliminarla per un look più elegante. La serratura è la mia parte preferita assoluta della borsa, quindi non ho obiettivo di rimuoverla, comunque puoi se lo desideri ora o poi.
Valutazione complessiva
Nonostante le mie lamentele con la chiusura e affrontano la cinghia sulla borsa Aby Day, credo ancora che questa borsa sia degna della sua valutazione generale. Sono ossessionato dal design, la serratura è accattivante e la borsa è ben fatta. Vive davvero tanto quanto il nome come una borsa da giorno ideale così come mi scopro che mi raggiungo quasi ogni mattina perché l’ho aperto la mattina di Natale qualche settimana fa. Mi sento positivo con questa borsa sul truffatore del mio braccio e scopro me stesso davvero sorridente quando guardo in basso e vedo la borsa, che è un’indicazione sicura di un ottimo acquisto (o regalo nel mio caso). Se questa borsa è nella tua lista dei desideri, suggerisco estremamente fare il grande passo (soprattutto se riesci a scoprire un’offerta assassina come ha fatto il mio maritino).
