The sculptural beauty and Italian craftsmanship of the Chloe Bag evolve for the new season with two refined color additions.

Bologna, Italy – June 17, 2025 – Gamberini Bag, the artisanal leather brand founded by Bologna-based designer and art historian Ilenia Gamberini, announces the release of two new colorways for its iconic Chloe Bag: Lilac Ash and Chestnut. Developed with careful intention, these shades reflect the changing seasons and the evolving identity of the contemporary woman.

A sculptural masterpiece with everyday functionality, the Chloe Bag merges elegance and practicality. Inspired by the fluid curves of Isamu Noguchi and the refined minimalism of Constantin Brâncuși, its design masterfully balances structural clarity with organic flow, elevating the handbag to a wearable work of art.

A smoky, dreamlike neutral

“The Chloe Bag represents the intersection of design and emotion,” says founder and artistic director Ilenia Gamberini. “Its sculptural handles and architectural silhouette express the modern woman as I envision her—strong, delicate, and constantly evolving.”

New Season Color Tones:

Lilac Ash: A smoky, ethereal neutral infused with lilac tones, perfect for spring and summer. Pairs harmoniously with warm-tone staples like white and tan—understated yet distinctive.

Chestnut: A creamy, nut-like neutral offering warmth and versatility to everyday styling. Rich yet subtle, this shade brings depth to any wardrobe.

Both versions of the Chloe Bag are crafted from LWG-certified nappa cowhide sourced from Abruzzo, Italy. This smooth, subtly lustrous leather is drum-dyed and water-finished to achieve a natural texture with a delicate vibrating grain. The result is Chloe’s signature velvety surface, with a thickness of 1.1 to 1.3 mm—striking a refined balance between structure and flexibility.

“Choosing a smooth, lightly reflective leather was essential,” notes Gamberini. “I wanted a material that would enhance the bag’s sculpted lines, while embodying both modernity and luxury. The subtle sheen beautifully captures the light, giving the bag its unmistakable presence.”

A Symbolic Touch: The Lion Emblem

Each Chloe Bag features a stylized lion emblem—an emotionally charged symbol and homage to Gamberini’s hometown.

“This emblem isn’t just a brand mark. It’s a symbol that connects me to my city. Like the lions that guard Bologna’s historic buildings, I hope this bag conveys strength and protection to those who carry it.”

Cast from a custom mold in Naples, the lion emblem is finished with 18k gold plating, exemplifying the brand’s commitment to brilliance and durability.

Inside, the Chloe Bag reveals a hand-finished lining and practical compartments. Its shoulder strap clasp, the result of in-depth research and custom design, allows the bag to seamlessly transform from casual to refined styling.
