Chloe | Penelope small top handle bag

The Penelope small top handle bag combines a straight top line with a structured silhouette for a sleek aesthetic. Crafted from nappa lambskin, this version features a hand-embroidered crystal arrow in a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld's iconic shirt dress designed for Chloé's Fall-Winter 1983-1984 collection. The same arrow motif was featured on actress Maude Apatow's dress at the Met Gala 2023. The bag's unique craftsmanship combines the "Aari" and "Zardosi" embroidery techniques and requires 22 hours of work by two beaders in India. The line's signature metallic piece closes the flap, lending sophisticated detail, while an inside flat pocket rounds off the main compartment. The long chain strap and top handle allow for multiple carry options. All about Penelope… In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope is a symbol of ideal femininity and loyalty. She is a free, independent woman with a strong character. Inspired by her qualities, the Penelope line matches the Chloé DNA with rounded lines, refined details and craftsmanship. Inspired by the Maison's vintage jewelry, the iconic metallic closure developed in Italy adds a signature finish.
