First hitting the handbag scene back in 2009, the Chloé Marcie has transcended decades, remaining a mainstay for the French Maison, resisting murky economic waters, changing creative directors, and fashion’s fickle trends.
Like the Chloé Paddington, often cited as one of the original It-bags of the early aughts, the Marcie bag quickly won the hearts of fashion lovers and handbag collectors, becoming one of the Maison’s most emblematic shapes. Its curved lines, iconic leather tab closure, and equestrian details remain a beloved choice for handbag lovers still to this day, nearly 15 years after its original release.
Rooted in history, the Marcie’s equestrian feel pays homage to Chloé’s bohemian spirit, and it’s that rich brand DNA that remains within the latest additions, which is expanded upon for Fall 2023.

Gabriela Hearst revisits the Marcie for inspiration once again, perfectly combining a Chloé classic with a modern spirit. Two notable silhouettes hit the scene, both possessing the unmistakable #ChloéGirl feel, blending a feminine aesthetic with a 70s folk spirit while offering a fresh take on an old favorite.
First up, a new Bucket bag hits the scene for the Fall season. Crafted from the Maison’s soft, grained calfskin, this roomy day bag features one main compartment. Its simple bucket bag shape is accented with details that pair back to the original Marcie line. Contrasting leather belts accent the bag, and it is finished with original Marcie gold hardware detailing. Plus, the hand-braided top handle is integral to the Marcie line.

If you’re looking for a smaller, more transitional shape, there’s the Marcie Chain Flap. Blending feminine elegance with Chloé craft, the Marcie Chain Flap features a small half-moon shape. Blending textural leather with smooth leather and suede sides, the bag’s tactile handle and distinct front closure make it feel quintessentially Chloé. Finished with a removable chain strap allowing for shoulder or crossbody wear, this silhouette can be worn day or night. Inside there’s one main compartment and a slit pocket.
