Aurore Leather Holdall by Chloé

Aurore

With designer bags often pushing towards very modern design, there's little in the way of simple and classic luggage available from many high end brands. Once in a while a gem crops up, though, like this Aurore Leather Bag from Chloé.

With a design that's uncomplicated by too many zips and details, the bowling shape has a great mid-sixties feel. The real tan leather provides a lasting look and sturdy shape, while short top handles and gold hardware keep it classic too. Just masculine enough for a mod look, this is a rare piece with luxury craftsmanship.
