Q: What typically fits in the Small Paraty? A: It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and similar items. Slim tablets or e-readers may fit depending on their case. It is not designed for A4 documents. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and pack accordingly.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. This bag has dual top handles for hand/crook-of-arm carry and a detachable shoulder strap. The strap drop on this specific item is approximately 35 cm, so crossbody wear will sit relatively high on most frames. Adjustability can vary by production; if you prefer a longer drop, many owners add a longer compatible strap to the side rings.
Q: What are the handle and strap measurements on this piece? A: The handle drop is approximately 15 cm and the detachable strap drop is approximately 35 cm. Please see Measurements for height, width and depth to help you gauge fit.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

The strap drop on this specific item is approximately 35 cm, so crossbody wear will sit relatively high on most frames. Adjustability can vary by production; if you prefer a longer drop, many owners add a longer compatible strap to the side rings.
Q: Is the Paraty still produced by Chloé? A: The Paraty debuted in 2008 and has since become an iconic Chloé design. Chloé has reintroduced the silhouette in recent collections as the Paraty 24, which retains the double handles and shoulder/crossbody strap concept. This listing is a vintage Small Paraty.
Q: How is the leather and how does it wear over time? A: Paraty bags are typically crafted in calf leather with the model’s signature piping and corner structure. As with many top-handle satchels, corners and piping are common high-wear areas; using the dust bag, avoiding overfilling, and occasional conditioning can help minimise rub at the edges.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air-dry away from heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, oils and direct sunlight. Store loosely stuffed to maintain shape and keep it in its dust bag in a cool, dry place. For deeper cleaning, we recommend a professional leather specialist.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, the product information shows a dust bag and an authenticity card.
Q: What are the handle and strap measurements on this piece? A: The handle drop is approximately 15 cm and the detachable strap drop is approximately 35 cm. Please see Measurements for height, width and depth to help you gauge fit.
Q: How do you authenticate Chloé Paraty bags? A: Our specialists inspect materials, leather quality, stitching, hardware, logo details (including the accent on the é), interior brand/debossed stamps and the presence/format of serial and date codes. Note that Chloé date codes and serial numbers serve different purposes and formats can vary by era. A Retro Tale stands behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
