Chloe Bay Metallic Wallet

Chloe bags have a following that is a force to be reckoned with. One of my favorite aspects of Chloe is that when they design one bag, they take it to every hobo, satchel, clutch, and tote in every color possible so that their customers can find exactly what they are looking for. The Chloe Bay Bag was a huge hit (even with Britney Spears!), and remains to be one of the house favorites after the Paddington. While I always liked the Bay, the bag was just not 100% for me. But with the introduction of the Chloe Bay Metallic Wallet, I have found my match. This metallic gold wallet is perfect to carry all of your credit card needs and double as a clutch at night. The metallic leather has a subtle sheen to it, it is my favorite ‘kind’ of metallic, not too in your face and not too subtle. There is a gold signature plaque on the front and a zip fastening section when you open the wallet and credit card slots on either side. These larger wallets are my obsession lately, mostly because if I am on the go I just grab my large wallet and head out! Buy through Net A Porter for $550.

Any possibility of measurements on this? I checked Net a porter and they did not post either. I am assuming if you mention it could be a clutch, it must be larger than the usual 7″ long for a wallet…Maybe?

They do not have dimensions… but I am assuming around 8″ long. That is what most of my larger wallets are that I use as a clutch

As someone who used to be a specialist in a designer handbag department, I would like to advise that these rub. All of them were either sent back out to the vendors, returned by angry customers or destroyed. They metallic rubs off and shows what is under. If you like a beat up look by all means its a great looking wallet with soft leather. Gold will rub and show silver underneath, and vice versa.

That’s very true.

But, to be fair, all metallic leather rubs, doesn’t it? Because it’s a coating, not a dye?

Personally, I don’t mind too much, but I agree that it’s definitely something to bear in mind. :smile:

As far as the design of the wallet goes, it’s OK, but like you, Megs, the Bay has never quite been my cup of tea.
