Bag of the Week is a franchise that highlights the latest, most hyped luxury bags. Each week, we showcase a bag that is generating significant buzz, whether for its design, exclusivity, or popularity. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the Chloé Banana Bag.
Introducing a bag that captures the spirit of summer in every stitch: the Chloé Banana Bag. Light-hearted yet refined, this collection blends the Maison’s signature codes with a youthful energy. The Banana Bag arrives in a palette of breezy neutrals and vibrant pops, evoking the carefree feeling of long, sun-soaked days.
What makes the Banana Bag truly special is its fusion of function and whimsy. From the raffia weave to the playful banana-shaped metal handle wrapped in leather, every detail exudes joy without sacrificing elegance. The feminine curves and the soft, slouchy silhouette of the hobo version add an effortless charm to everyday wear.
Crafted by a single artisan over four and a half days, the bag is the result of Chloé’s collaboration with Made For A Woman, an ethical fashion organization based in Madagascar. The raffia—responsibly sourced from fair-trade partners—is handwoven using openwork and tight strap techniques, then elevated with raffia needle embroidery and a calfskin finish. The result? A textured, dimensional piece that celebrates women’s empowerment and sustainable luxury.
Adding a nod to the Maison’s heritage, each bag bears a tonal handwritten signature inspired by a 1978 vintage Chloé belt by Karl Lagerfeld—subtly connecting past and present. The Chloé Banana Bag is a statement of craft, character, and conscience.
