Can I wash my tote bag in the washing machine?

Whether you can wash your tote bag in the washing machine depends on the bag.

Check the care tag inside your bag and any care instructions that came with it for specific advice on how to clean it. Explore a large collection of tote bags on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if a Chloé tote bag is real?

To tell if a Chloé tote bag is real, check the inside for a date code stamp. The first two digits of this code correspond to the month or season of manufacturing, and the second two tell you the year of production. Finally, the last digits represent the style number. Cross-reference this information with data shared on trusted online resources, looking for any discrepancies. For example, your piece may be counterfeit if the style number doesn't correspond to your particular bag or isn't found. Similarly, if Chloé didn't produce that bag during the month and year stamped in your bag, your tote may not be real. When in doubt, ask a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert to inspect your bag and give their opinion on its authenticity. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chloé tote bags.

Can you tell a fake Goyard tote bag?

Authentic Goyard bags are typically lighter in weight and thinner than fake Goyard bags. Authentic bags have discrete serial numbers embossed where the leather strap ends; whereas fake bags may have more conspicuous serial numbers in larger fonts and with deeper indentations.

Finding the Right Tote Bags for You

From classic medium-sized Louis Vuitton leather tote bags to authentic cube-like Loewe shoulder bags woven in raffia, the large selection of vintage and designer tote bags on 1stDibs offers something for special occasions as well as everyday needs.

Although part of a modern look, tote bags have been roomy and versatile accessories since at least 1944, with the launch of L.L.Bean’s “ice bag.” The Maine retailer, then largely known for rugged field coats and hunting shoes, had introduced a big, durable canvas bag that was initially intended to carry firewood or ice. In those days, to keep produce and other foods cool in refrigerators, consumers had to regularly replace the blocks of ice that were doing all the work in their bulky appliances. There was no better bag to help haul big blocks of ice from the trunk of your car to your front door and, subsequently, to your kitchen.

Years later, during the 1960s, L.L.Bean’s Boat and Tote was introduced as an overhauled structured canvas version of the ice bag. Tested to lug up to 500 pounds, the Boat and Tote became a best seller. Also during the 1960s, American designer Bonnie Cashin created the Cashin Carry for Coach. Cashin was Coach’s first lead designer, and she liked leather, large pockets and earth tones. Her modern interpretation of the tote bag introduced a touch of elegance to this increasingly ubiquitous accessory.

In the subsequent decades, more brands debuted their own iterations of the tote bag, from Tory Burch’s Perry leather tote bag to Goyard’s luxurious Saint Louis.

Pay tribute to this long and interesting history of a well-loved accessory by browsing the vintage and designer tote bags on 1stDibs.

How can you tell if a Chloé tote bag is real?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
To tell if a Chloé tote bag is real, check the inside for a date code stamp. The first two digits of this code correspond to the month or season of manufacturing, and the second two tell you the year of production. Finally, the last digits represent the style number. Cross-reference this information with data shared on trusted online resources, looking for any discrepancies. For example, your piece may be counterfeit if the style number doesn't correspond to your particular bag or isn't found. Similarly, if Chloé didn't produce that bag during the month and year stamped in your bag, your tote may not be real. When in doubt, ask a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert to inspect your bag and give their opinion on its authenticity. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chloé tote bags.
