Modern, urban elegance Paris-  Arabstoday The Alice handbag has placed its bets on modern, urban elegance. It was created by the Chloé fashion house for the winter 2012-2013 collection. Fashioned out of supple leather enhanced with python or vegetable-tanned leather, its sleek, generous design is inspired by the 70s. This mix of fabrics is set off by a two-tone look offering a wide range of color-combinations, from the softest pastels (sunrise, husky white) to the deepest darks (hot chocolate, fir green, black), sometimes even shimmering hues (Holly Berry). Alice offers the utmost in simplicity with an attitude that is both casual and sophisticated. The bag’s two large outer pockets reinforce its “sporty chic” spirit.                                                                                    The signature of the House can also be found in the quality of the materials and the care with which the details have been added: the lateral “origami” finishes and topstitching are the marks of true leather craftsmanship But the Alice handbag’s sobriety and refinement don’t take away anything from its practicality: thanks to a detachable strap, it can be carried two ways, while gold-toned metal hardware adds a chic yet sober touch.
