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? A: As a small satchel (approx. 25 × 20 × 10 cm), it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, AirPods, a small cosmetics pouch, passport and slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve. An A6 notebook fits; A5 notebooks and small water bottles are usually a squeeze. Capacity can vary slightly by edition—refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet? A: An iPad mini–sized tablet may fit without a bulky case, but the zip opening and softly structured shape can make the fit snug. Larger tablets are generally not recommended in the Small size. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or ask us to perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Paraty straps vary by season—many editions include a detachable strap, and some are adjustable while others are fixed-length. This piece includes a single flat shoulder strap as listed under “Accessories.” We’ll note handle/strap measurements in the Measurements section; if anything’s missing, just ask and we’ll confirm drop and crossbody suitability for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Paraty features a zip-top main compartment for everyday security. This item has a beige canvas lining with one zipped pocket and one slip pocket, as shown in our description and photos.
Q: How does the Paraty carry and hold its shape? A: It’s a softly structured bag with signature piped corners and dual rolled handles, designed to drape slightly while retaining its distinctive silhouette. Over time it can develop a gentle slouch. To help maintain shape, avoid overfilling, store it lightly stuffed and upright, and support the handles/strap during storage.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies beige leather with gold‑tone hardware and a beige canvas lining. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos show the exact finish and details of this item.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (especially with light colours like beige). Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and test first on a discreet area. Store the bag in a breathable dust bag, lightly padded; place a soft cloth between strap/handles and leather to minimise imprints. Hardware can develop light hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: Is the Paraty still produced? A: The original Paraty is generally not part of Chloé’s current core collection; availability is best on the pre‑loved market. Seasonal reissues or similar silhouettes may appear from time to time.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Chloé bags typically feature a “Chloé” heat stamp and a country‑of‑origin stamp (commonly Italy). Many Paraty bags include an interior leather tab with a series/serial code; placement and format can vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret the details for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note a shoulder strap. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial/code and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can Chloé repair or service the Paraty? A: Chloé boutiques may offer repairs subject to assessment and parts availability; lead times and costs vary. Independent luxury leather specialists can also perform cleaning, corner/piping touch‑ups and hardware refinishing. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique or specialist assessment.
