Sub-brands

  • See by Chloé 2001

    It emerged in the 2000s as a sister line that extended Chloé’s world into bags, small leather goods, and shoes. Drawing on creations from the main line, it functioned under an independent name as a separate entry point for everyday offerings and represented the diffusion segment. Its discontinuation was explicitly stated in the 2023 mission report, and the line is no longer active following a reorganization of the line structure.

  • Chloé Kids 2006

    As Chloé’s children’s clothing division, it develops a licensed line ranging from babywear to girls’ clothing, adapting the design codes associated with the Maison’s womenswear for children. The official presentation describes everyday wear and clothing for special occasions with casual, sporty, elegant, and whimsical elements, and also highlights a mini-me concept linked to the womenswear collections. CWF serves as the licensing partner, positioning the line as an extension of the parent brand’s world across a different age group.

With Chloé Eau de Parfum at its center, it has expanded to include variations such as Naturelle, Lumineuse, and Intense, continually updating the lineage of its signature creations. While also offering refillable bottles, it has a distinct role from Atelier des Fleurs, which spans botanical themes, consistently supporting the classic scents that symbolize the maison.

  • Chloé Eyewear 2012

    Chloé’s eyewear line, whose design, development, manufacturing, and distribution are operated under license through an exclusive agreement with Kering Eyewear. Through sunglasses and optical glasses, it expresses the Maison’s freedom and 1970s-inspired elements, expanding the accessories offering of the main collection for women. Under the new structure in 2021, a girls’ mini-me line was also added, and the products are managed separately from Chloé’s own supply chain as licensed products.

  • Atelier des Fleurs by Chloé 2019

    A series of Chloé fragrances centered on various flowers and plants, composed from the perfumer’s memories and sensations. According to the brand, the scents are designed to complement one another and are developed to offer a wider range of combinations. The series also pays homage to Gaby Aghion’s pioneering perspective. Unlike the signature rose in Signature, it expands the scope of expression by presenting the distinct character of each floral material and plant individually. It currently also includes body care.
