The Maison Chloé was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian-born Parisienne who wanted to liberate women’s bodies from the stiffly formal fashion of the time through a luxury ready-to-wear offering.

For almost 70 years, Chloé has been inspiring femininity by designing fashion collections and accessories, crafting stories and sharing experiences. Our founder's forward-looking vision of femininity continues to inspire our long-term commitment to support the advancement of women.

Women moving forward. For a fairer future. This is our purpose guiding all we do. Today, our ultimate goal is to create beautiful products with meaningful impact for people and for the planet.

We take pride in receiving B Corp certification. As we mark this new stage, reinventing how we do business, we hope to inspire other organisations.

That’s why we are building teams who are committed to our mission. We want to share this approach within the company and with our community at large.
