Chloé’s fall 2020 runway show took place this week in Paris, and as always, it was quite the show. Creative director Natacha Ramsay-Levi put an immense amount of thought into this show. Everything down to the set design and the spoken word soundtrack celebrated femininity and the diverse landscape of the female race. This show brought multiple female worlds together, tapping into 3 separate artists’ talents. Sculptor Marion Verboom’s work was seen throught the show space, while artwork from Rita Ackermann appeared throughout the collection. All the while, Chloé Girl Marianne Faithfull’s voice was heard in an exclusive spoken word soundtrack.
As for the collection, the Fall/Winter 2020 show featured a slew of bags. There are fresh takes on Ramsay-Levi’s newest bags, which we first saw on the brand’s spring 2020 runway. Both the Darryl and the Daria bags are given a stunning makeover for fall, bearing Ackermann’s artwork in all-over prints. The Daria is also shown in a mini size with a chain strap. Both shapes are reimagined in new materials like suede and corduroy, but one of the most interesting designs for fall comes in the form of an oversized handheld pouch. The textured silhouette features the same braided detailing from the Darryl Bag.
New silhouettes also make their runway debut for Fall 2020—a double buckled micro crossbody bag and a roomy, oversized tote. The new mini crossbody, dubbed the Franne, is seen in rich fall hues like orange and brown, while the Fredy tote is shown bearing a geometric pattern. The collection overall gives off an effortless, boho-y vibe as you’d expect to see from Chloé. View all of the bags below.

Ooof…nothing here for me
Agreed. Just awful.
Dear Chloé,
Why?
Kind regards,
Concerned Bag Enthusiast
Thank you for nearly making me snort my coffee.
I love the hobos with the braided detail! Especially the one i suede!
Yes me too. Considering the tote or perhaps the hobo . Smaller crossbody with longer straps can see getting tangled on something.
Forever 21 meets Brighton. How far Chloe has fallen. The only bag worth noting is the slouchy clutch and the proportions are off on that as well.

The colors are gorgeous, but the bags aren’t doing it for me
The braided hobo is……OK. The rest feel like sloppy knockoffs of better bags.
I don’t get the first bag in slide 7. It looks very…suggestive.
I’m not a Chloe fan so I’m not going to comment.
I agree. As I was scrolling that made me stop and wonder.
And they are all pretty ugly, I’m still a Paddington gal.

These bags are artistic, creative and imaginative. The intentional Intermingling of the Asian influence is pure genius; similar to the artistic vision, created by both Manet and Monet, as inspired by Japanese lithographs which they incorporated into their paintings. The historical artistic elements that underlie these bags embody a brilliant and long standing history drawn from masterful, well respected artists that preceded these current artisans. This modern take on a historical artistic vision is brilliant and refreshing! Thoroughly enjoyable!
Your analysis is much more sophisticated than mine. I’ll take your word for it.
What’s with the oversized double buckles? They look very odd. The braided hobos and clutch are the only ones that stand out to me.
Oh god no ?????? The hobo is nice but there’s no closure/zipper etc.. all your belongings could fall out fairly easily. ??
The buckles are a little too much.
All I can say is that these are very sad looking bags….what happened to Chloe?
I don’t think I’ve ever hated every single bag in one of these posts, until now. Woof.
designer must have been just as confused as us
What a mess – this should not go into production and the designor should be fired
Hideous!!! There is not 1 design that I actually like. 🙁
Love the painted ones and big hobos
