French luxury fashion house Chloé has long been known for creating iconic “It” bags, from the beloved Drew and Faye to the standout Nile bag that debuted during the Spring/Summer 2017 runway show.
Though it launched several seasons ago, the Nile remains one of the brand’s most recognizable designs thanks to its signature gold-tone bracelet handle—meant to be worn stylishly around the wrist or carried like a clutch.
Available in three sizes—Medium, Small, and Minaudière—the Nile blends Chloé’s Parisian sophistication with equestrian-inspired detailing. Its structured silhouette and striking hardware continue to make it a favorite among celebrities and style insiders.
Fashionistas like Sienna Miller, Emma Roberts, and Whitney Port were early adopters of the Nile, helping to catapult it to cult status. It remains a coveted collector’s item and testament to Chloé’s lasting influence on modern handbag design.
