PARIS, March 3 (Reuters) - French fashion house Chloe combined sleek lines and cosy fabrics in its new winter collection at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday, with knitted dresses, leather midi skirts and teddy bear coats.

Model Amber Valletta, wearing minimal makeup, strolled down a sand-covered catwalk in a long patchwork coat at the close of show, showcasing the design house's understated approach.

Black, ecru and variations of orange tones dominated most of the looks for the Richemont-owned French label, founded by Gaby Aghion and celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.
