Chloe 'Silverado' Bag

[PrincessImp.]

gawd -- the lengths we'll go to for a bag (not that I wouldn't do it too!)

Hey, might as well, it's only a 5 hours drive...

 

[LilyGirl]

ha ha! that would be absurd -- J.Lo in airport jail! no, the law is no python can be manufactured or sold in CA.

 

[LilyGirl]

I think you should do a tour and hit all the stores in the southwest region (there are actually a lot). maybe you can get sponsors to defray the cost.

 

[meowmix]

you're just not allowed to sell/buy it in CA
dillards?! chloe?! BTW if you want that exact orginal brown they don't have it anymore

 

[PrincessImp.]

Dillards? Ok that was a silly thing to type.. I just got back and I am not thinking straight.If I had the money I would do a tour of the southwest just to hunt down the darn thing too.. but no one is contributing to my "Buy A Bag For me" fund

 

[LilyGirl]

if you give us a detailed report I'll kick in a dollar (sorry -- I need to save up for my "fund" too!)

sorry...if I have hijacked this thread but i'm new

 

[missbradshaw]

whoops..posted before I asked the question!

Just wanted to ask - are the medium silverados in the plain calf leather harder to get hold of than the other sizes?

thanks

 

[LilyGirl]

I think the medium of the python or leather is going to be the most popular, hence the most difficult to find. it's the perfect handbag size, while the large is more of a tote (and the small silverado is just too small).

 

[missbradshaw]

thanks - I bought a small black one this week....it is soo nice but I think it might be too small...

 

[LilyGirl]

Good evening bag size though.

 

[missbradshaw]

yeah thats what I was thinking....I do already have a small Paddington slouch and another Paddington on order so I do have some ok day bags....

Oooooo...this looks really good! Now I really want a silverado in leather instead of the snakeskin. The snakeskin looks good too but apart from the 1st batch of fabulous brown ones (..ala Kirsten Dunst..) the newer ones seem to highlight the reptilian scales too much!

Has anyone bought internationally from the Chloe Paris store? Any feedback on the new or future season leather silverados from anywhere in the world?

 

[meowmix]

hm i think the us dept stores are continuing the leather silverados in brown...

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Does the scale fall off easily? It always scares me when I see how flimsy those python scales are...they get bend so easily and could fall off with the slightest pull!!

 

[meowmix]

they bend after a bit, but they don't fall off... but i'm not very rough with mine.

Congrats of getting a new bag as well, God! you with all your bags is not enough days in the year for you to wear them out. I Want as well! If you ever get sick of a bag, you know where to send them!

Do you got any basic tips for the use of Silverado? I mean is it vital to waterproof the leather?
