Chloe has become the forgotten step child after Phoebe Philo left and now that is has turned Celine around, Chloe handbags seem even more irrelevant and passe. But this Darla tote is super cute. It won't single handedly bring Chloe back to the limelight but for what it's worth, this give the brand some promise. The basic shape and the lock are not ground breaking by any means but the way all of it is put together works well. Even the slightly elongated strap is cool and just different enough to make you look twice. There is an old world quality to it yet the look is totally modern.
