Chloe

What Chloe does

Chloé is a privately held French luxury fashion maison founded in Paris in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, currently operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swiss conglomerate Compagnie Financière Richemont SA. The brand designs, produces, and distributes women's luxury ready-to-wear, handbags, footwear, small leather goods, jewelry, eyewear, fragrances, beachwear, and childrenswear through a global omnichannel network comprising owned e-commerce (chloe.com, serving 50+ countries), owned boutiques in key luxury capitals (Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Dubai), and wholesale to luxury department stores. Creative direction since 2023 rests with Chemena Kamali, whose 'Devotion Collection' (Winter 2026) and reissue of the heritage Paddington bag anchor the current brand narrative.

The product portfolio is anchored by signature bag lines (Paddington, Summer Banana, Chloé Clover, Marcie, Chloé Spin, Chloé Plissé, Bracelet Bag), footwear franchises (Woody, Suzie, Junie, Chloé Jelly, Nama), and fragrance pillars (Chloé, Nomade, Atelier des Fleurs, Love Story). Pricing ranges from approximately $300 for accessories to over $7,100 for premium leather goods. The technology footprint is modest: a proprietary e-commerce platform with boutique finder and personalization, plus compliance-driven investments in Digital Product Passports and serial-number tracking for supply-chain traceability and circular-economy participation (via Vestiaire Collective resale partnership).

Revenue is generated through unit-priced direct retail (e-commerce + boutiques) and wholesale, supplemented by a transaction-fee stream from pre-owned resale. The brand has invested in sustainability credentials including Cradle to Cradle Silver certification for its refillable fragrance (reducing glass by 44%, plastic by 67%, GHG emissions by 65%) and 48% recycled/recyclable materials in fragrance packaging. In 2025 Chloé was fined €157 million alongside Gucci and Loewe by the European Commission for resale price maintenance — a notable regulatory headwind. The company employs 1,001–5,000 people globally and reports into Richemont's portfolio alongside Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Buccellati.
