The pristine white space of the accessory shop is speckled with golden racks. Making use of multiple sky lights and full windows, the space invites in the tranquility of the botanic courtyard just outside its doors. Aside from little trinkets like key chains and sunglasses, you'll immediately be drawn to the leather goods: handbags and wallets available in blue, brown, and burgundy, some featuring Chloe's signature large brass locks along with other hardware details. Footwear runs the gamut from trendy strappy gladiator sandals to timeless scalloped-edge leather pumps.
A stones throw across the courtyard waits the two-story ready-to-wear retail shop, which mirrors the bright and airy vibe of the accessories boutique. The current color palette for Spring '09 is clean with white, black, and beige with a few bursts of blush and orange metallic.
Always keeping it classy, the French brand boasts modest necklines, but unfortunately, does not boast modest price points. Dresses run upwards of $6,000, while many blouses and trousers will push a grand.
But like its pricey neighbors, Chloe offers up racks of beautiful, splurge-worthy items for the spoiled little girly-girl in us all.
