Although the economy may be headed down a Louboutin platform-steep slope right now, Chloe has still managed to design a bag that consumers are willing to pay close to $4,000 for, which seems rather amazing.

The Paraty Python Tote has been seen on everyone from Mary-Kate Olsen to Katie Holmes and is truly one of the most amazing black bags I have ever seen. With an elegant shape, minimal brushed gold hardware, and created in one of my favorite materials (python), this bag is one to have and to hold for years to come.

It hit Net-a-porter early this week and sold out faster than a Madonna concert.

Speaking of Net-a-porter…Have you heard about TheOutnet.com yet? What is it? The outlet site (get it now? outnet = outlet) to Net-a-porter.com for those of us that can’t quite afford Chloe’s Paraty Tote during times such as these. Why should you sign up? Because you want to be one of the first people (along with me) to start shopping all of the amazing deals on great designer fashion. You heard it hear, now be a good friend and pass it on.
