Our Story: Timeless Style, Personal Soul

Family Owned | Founded 2012 | In Loving Memory of Chlo

The Heart of Paula & Chlo

It started with a lifelong obsession. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in love with the perfect handbag—the way a single accessory can transform not just an outfit, but a woman’s confidence. In 2012, my husband Randy and I turned that passion into Paula & Chlo.

We didn’t just want to open another clothing store; we wanted to build a boutique experience that felt like a conversation with a trusted friend. We believe that modern luxury isn't about the price tag—it's about the feeling of luxe cashmere, the perfect scarf, and those "little treats" that make your day brighter.

Meet the Namesake & The Crew

If you’ve ever wondered who "Chlo" is, she was our beautiful Australian Shepherd and the heartbeat of this brand. Though she has since passed, her spirit of loyalty and joy is woven into everything we do.

Today, the "Aussie" tradition continues with her sisters: Kashmir, Tuula, and Sage. They may not have tails, but they certainly have "wiggle butts" that greet us every morning! They remind us daily that style should be as comfortable as it is sophisticated.

What Sets Us Apart?

In a world of automated bots and "fast fashion," we choose to go slow and stay human.

  • The Artisan Edit: We don't just carry brands; we curate stories. We partner with Artisan Makers and specialized international designers—like Raffaello Rossi—to bring you pieces that are hand-selected for quality, comfort, and character.

  • A Human Touch: Every order is handled with care by our small team in Southfield, Michigan. We don't just ship boxes; we deliver a "boutique-in-a-box" experience.

  • Treatonomics: We believe in the power of a surprise. That’s why we often include a small, complimentary treat in our signature packaging—because every woman deserves a little extra joy in her day.
