| Every brand features its own special signature that differs it from others. Talking about Chloe I tend to think about its luxurious bags that are simplistic yet awesome and trendy. Let’s take a look at the latest handbag collection of the brand. |
|
| Spring – Summer bags by Chloe have basic forms, which makes them exceptionally practical pieces for urban style. Elsie evening bags have an elegant and appealing look. You can see in the picture two versions of the bag: one made of lambskin and the other of python leather. Though both Elsie bags have the same design, the first one looks elegant and exquisite, while the other one has bold and urban look. |
 |
| Elsie line is presented in the collection by Elsie pony-like calfskin, alligator, and sequin embroidered lambskin and a couple of bags made of buffalo skin. I think fashionistas will appreciate their luxurious look. |
| Python leather is one of the most popular materials for manufacturing bags now so it is no wonder that Marlow bags are also made of it. The bags feature leather straps with buckles that act like embellishment and do not have practical importance. |
 |
| Personally I fell in love with Ethel hobo by Chloe. The hobo is made of lambskin in light brown hue. The bag has two folds at the front part and a small Chloe label. A short shoulder strap has buckles at both ends. Nearby you can see a petite Ethel. It differs a lot from its bigger version. Metallic buckles are placed on the front part and two folds go along the entire surface. Besides, the small Ethel has a removable strap. |
 |
| And the last bag for today is a well known Marcie handbag that has become so popular among celebrities and which we recently reviewed in Marcie Handbag by Chloe Is a Must-Have for Celebrities. |

Some designers decided to use a tie-dye-like effect accomplished by folding leather of two tones, while others showed multiple color dye compilations. Here are 5 tie-dye picks that are worth your attention: 1. Derek Lam Nadia Hobo is made in neutral hues with a subtly used tie-dye effect, which looks gorgeous. Unlike most tie-dyes, this bag is gentle, elegant and super trendy. But the bag costs as much as $ 3,950. |
 |
| 2. Jimmy Choo Robin. Jimmy Choo keeps expanding his handbag industry and has a great success in it. His Robin tie-dye bag is made in colorful combination of red and white. Besides, the designer used exotic snake leather that is so popular this season. Jimmy Choo Robin is available at $ 1,595. |
 |
| 3. Bottega Veneta Superlight Aquilone has a vivid two-tone effect. Yellow and whire make an excellent blend. The bag is a testament to Tomas Maier’s innovative brilliance. And it is $ 1,550. |
 |
| 4. Donna Karan Eldridge is perfect for stylish business ladies who need to remain elegant even on hot summer days. The Eldridge is a stand out bag because of its four-ways-to wear and pleated leather. The price of this gorgeous piece is $ 1,495. |
 |
| 5. Lauren Merkin Diana Rainbow Clutch is the last for today. Lauren Merkin is one of the most recognizable clutch designers. The glazed, snakeskin-print leather is embellished with a colorful and playful rainbow pattern. The clutch driven attention and stands out. An the most pleasant moment is the price. The Diana Rainbow Clutch costs only $ 195. So it will be a perfect starting point of bright summer. |

A Story About Banned Ads: Louis Vuitton vs. Standards

| Luois Vuitton has gained a fabulous popularity all over the world due to ingenuity of its designers, innovative technologies, extravagant ideas and bold experiments. Lots of men women said Yes to the renowned brand, yet there are those who say a definite No to the fashion house. These people are watchmen from ASA, or Advertising Standards Agency. They decided that both advertisements made by the company provide misleading information referring to handmade bags. |
 |
| The reason is ads show a picture of a woman with linen thread involved in a long and difficult process that needs “infinite patience”. The text read: “The seamstress with linen thread and beeswax”. The second ad shows a woman who is making a wallet. And the text goes: “The young woman and the tiny folds.
In everything from Louis Vuitton, there are elements that cannot be fully explained”. At the same time the overwhelming majority of Louis Vuitton handbags are made by machinery. |
 |
| The argument began when three people addressed to ASA saying that they did not believe in the ads depicting a manual process of manufacturing Louis Vuitton bags. A spokesman of the fashion house said that they wanted to express their homage and respect to the craftsmanship rather than describe an actual process of manufacturing. After a detailed researches held by ASA, the designers admitted that the major part of the process is automated, but still there are over 100 stages to complete in manufacturing of each bag. |
 |
| Although Luois Vuitton demonstrated evidence of multiple manual techniques, the ASA felt it was not enough to prove that the items are made by hand. They added that consumers would misinterpret the idea and banned the ads. Anyway, if it is not a quality ad it is the scandal that has attracted attention of the public to the brand. |
