    Chloe Paddington Bag 508905 Brown With Transparent Lock

    I know the brand of Chloe by its designer  handbag . How do you know? Maybe you can share with us. Chloe Handbags are one of most popular designer handbags brands throughout the world.

    The first house of luxury ready-to-wear

    "Prior to Chloe's launch, luxury fashion houses had only ever produced Haute Couture (i.e. made-to-measure) clothing. This was fine for the few who could afford it, but it left everyone else in frequently poorly-made copies, supplied by the local seamstress.

    Chloe's creator, Gaby Aghion, rejecting the stiff formality of 1950s fashion (and sensing a gap in the market), decided to create a line of off the rack, high quality, soft, body conscious clothes from fine fabrics, which she called 'luxury pret-a-porter' and thus, the Pret-a-Porter (Ready-To-Wear) market we know today, was born.

    The couturiers quickly followed suit (the first being Givenchy, with their 1956 Ready-to-Wear collection; 'Givenchy University') and today, designer ready-to-wear heavily outweighs couture."

    Chloe leather  handbags offered on http://www.handbags4buy.com/ are dedicated to cater for fashion and elegant ladies.
