Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Chloé Small Paraty Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 24 × 17 cm, this small Paraty is roomy enough for daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a small water bottle. It may also fit a compact tablet or e-reader, but bulkier items will make the structured shape feel fuller more quickly.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has dual rolled handles as well as a single flat shoulder strap. With an approximate strap drop of 43 cm, it is best suited to shoulder carry, while the 11 cm handle drop works well for hand or forearm carry.
Q: Does the Small Paraty fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: It is better suited to everyday essentials than work-sized items. While the bag is fairly wide, the structured shape and zip-top opening make it less practical for laptops or A4 folders, so we would not recommend it as a dedicated work bag.
Q: Is the Paraty considered a heavy bag? A: The Paraty is known for its structured leather construction and substantial hardware, so it can feel weightier than very soft or unstructured bags. In the small size, most buyers find it manageable for everyday use, though it will feel heavier once packed with larger items.
Q: Is the zip-top opening easy to use? A: The zip closure keeps your belongings secure, but the opening is a little narrower than the body of the bag. That means it is ideal for everyday essentials, though wider items can be slightly less convenient to take in and out quickly.
Q: What materials and features does this particular bag have? A: This vintage piece is crafted in brown leather with gold-tone hardware and was made in Italy. It features dual rolled handles, a single flat shoulder strap, brown lining, one internal pocket, and a zip closure.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This bag is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows visible darkening and scuffing on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please use the product images alongside the condition notes for the best overall view.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: According to the product information for this listing, the bag includes a dust bag. If another item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage leather on this bag? A: We recommend gentle handling and light routine care. Store the bag in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture, and stuff it lightly with tissue when not in use to help maintain its shape. Use a soft dry cloth for surface dust, and avoid harsh cleaners or over-conditioning, especially on vintage leather that already shows natural wear.
Q: How can I evaluate the authenticity of a preloved Chloé Paraty? A: For preloved Paraty bags, buyers often check the overall leather quality, construction, interior branding, made in Italy details, and any serial or authenticity markings that may be present for that era. As details can vary between production years, professional authentication is always the most reliable approach when buying vintage luxury.
