Elegant and versatile, this black leather-and-suede Chloé Faye is ideal for day‑to‑night plans—carry it to the office with tailored pieces, then use the detachable shoulder strap for dinner and drinks. With gold‑tone accents and an organised interior, it keeps essentials polished and close at hand for gallery openings, city strolls and chic weekend brunches.
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 in the Chloé Medium Faye? A: With its structured, accordion interior (this piece has three internal compartments and one slip pocket), it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and a slim tablet up to around 11 inches without a bulky case. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The bag includes a detachable, adjustable strap and can be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. The strap drop on this item is approximately 47 cm; if you prefer a longer drop, you may use a compatible longer strap (not included).
Q: How secure is the closure and what does the ring-and-chain do? A: The flap fastens with a magnetic closure that keeps contents secure during daily use. The signature ring-and-chain detail is primarily decorative and part of the Faye’s design language, while the magnet does the actual fastening.
Q: Does the suede mark easily or pick up colour transfer? A: Suede is naturally more delicate than smooth leather and may show water spots or pick up dye from dark fabrics (especially denim). We recommend pre-treating the suede with a colourless protector, avoiding prolonged contact with dark, unwashed garments, and letting the bag dry naturally if it gets wet (no heat).
Q: How should I care for the leather-and-suede combination? A: For leather, wipe with a soft dry cloth and use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly, avoiding the suede. For suede, brush gently with a suede brush and use a suede eraser on light surface marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather specialist. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is the Faye still part of Chloé’s current collection? A: The Faye is considered an iconic past-season style and is most commonly sourced on the pre-loved market today. As of May 2026, it does not feature as a core style on Chloé’s current site, though special editions may appear from time to time.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This item was made in Italy, as indicated on the label.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: This item comes with a detachable shoulder strap and a dust bag. Everything included is listed in the product information above; if you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: What is the condition like? A: Very good overall with light signs of use inside and out. The hardware remains shiny with light hairline scratches noted—please review the photos and Condition notes for full details.
