Oh I love the Paddington! I think it will still be a hit, but don't think it will be part of the list this time
I would think metallic bags of Chanel (2.55) might have a go at it-- if it does, it will be Chanel 2.55's reiteration of it being an iconic bag.

I don't think that second Louis Vuitton I don't think it will be be considered an "IT"-bag it is to much going on on it, i dont really se it work for a large audience. But you never know.
tresormakati, I agree w Chanel i have a feeling the bags there are going to be big this year
The 2.55 is going to have a huge season, and maybe that large box shaped tote will be a big seller too. Perhaps dior's detective line in (faux?) croc will be big...it has gotten a good amount of press for s/s. Some of the miu miu & prada bags were nice, but somehow nothing special...and there is a versace bag that i love, but i dont think it will be a "hit" because versace isnt doing very well...(for reasons i am not sure of, probably because its sort of "uncool" to like anything from them... )
a few mags have mentioned bottega as being hot for the fall, but I don't which bag(s). there's a good thread on the fall '05 bags with lots of pictures of non-chloe, spy and balenciaga bags.
