Chloe Paddington Bags (February 2005 - March 2010)

[asl_bebes]

Hi, thanks to mrj64 and Surferchick2 for your comments. You're right, I've decided to wait for the off white one. I know NAP has the off white in stock but if I buy it from there, it will cost about $2000CAD. If I buy it from Holt Renfrew in Toronto, it costs about $1700CAD. The SA said that they received a shipment of paddies yesterday and all that are left are 3 in whiskey. That's why I went into panic mode on whether to buy the whiskey or not. I decided to wait for the off white, the SA said that I'm second on the list. At least, I still have my Fendi Spy to carry around.

But after looking at neni's paddy in the whiskey, it makes me what to change my mind! If only I could buy both colors right now

I had serious doubts between the ivory and the whiskey when I was in the store. I finally choose the whiskey because the bag looks even more gorgeous in this colour. The colour makes it more beautiful. But the ivory was gorgeous too. It's a hard decision

Just used the conditioner and spray. It made the leather even more buttery soft and yummy. She's now protected! A small amount of color came off on my cloth but nothing significant. It came out beautiful. Now I have to figure out if I should spray my chocolate Silverado. I tested the conditioner on it but the leather doesn't take to it well. I'm only going to use the spray on that one but still debating...don't want to make any marks!

I sprayed my bowler and it's stayed nice and bright I haven't tried the conditioner, but I just ordered it last night and do plan to try it. As far as I know you use the condioner first, then the spray. Repeat every month or so depending on how often you use the bags.

Therese it went great! Thanks for asking. And yes, I'm enjoying my paddy! Feel even better now that she's protected since it's supposed to sleet/snow here tomorrow.

Did you return your medium paddy and are getting a mini now? What color? You must be excited.

hey pixiedust I'm so glad you are enjoying your paddy! please let us know how it goes with that spray

I'm so impatient, I want a bag now. Has anyone seen the mousse in person? LVRs pictures kind of suck

The paddy i purchased has a matching leather shoulder strap (cost CDN$400 or approx US$350 more than without ). i did b/c i liked the versatility it offers, since i really like wearing, rather than carrying, my purses (i sometime wear my balenciaga city across my torso too). HOwever, it is super hard to remove it. Does anyone else have a shoulder strap and are you having the same problem taking it off? If its impossible to remove, then i may exchange it for the strap-less one instead. Help??

I just used the conditioner today on my chocolate silverado and paddington. Tomorrow, I'm going to spray them. The silverado doesn't take the conditioner very well as it's a really thick leather. I just checked them out and they both look good.

hmm.. apple guard spray?? hmm, any1 know if they're available in australia? where abouts? =)

 

[mTaz]

can anyone please tell me what is the retail for the mini paddys?
tia

It's priced at $1380 or 995 euros on the net-a-porter site.
Its also 995 euros on www.luisaviaroma.com
Both only have the metallic mini's listed right now.
Btw, I know NAP is going to be getting mini's in tan in soon (I'm on the waitlist). Maybe you should try calling the NAP product advisor at the 1800 # to see if you can get on the waitlist if you're looking for one too.

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, it looks like the only countries that carry it, other than the US, is Mexico, Canada & Taiwan. But, you can e-mail the manufacturer at http://www.applepolishes.com and see if, or who can ship it there.

soo jealous of the owners of light blue paddington

Hi, I want to buy a mini paddington, but I need to know if it will fit over my shoulder- I hate tote only bags.

Here's a pic of the Jeans Moyen:

I never liked the Paddington before. But when I saw this color at Saks on Monday....I purchased it on the spot. I prefer the newer leather. It seems smoother (doesn't have the pebbly appearance I disliked on the original versions) but the texture is still there. I carried it the past two days and am in love

Thanks for posting the photo of your Jean's Moyen to show off the beauty of it here. You've beat me to it. The previous photo I posted was so poorly taken.

It is a real beauty and I have been using it alot since I got it a month ago.

Yes I returned it, but not for a mini (I asked about the retail for a mini for a girl who was wondering about the price). I returned it because of some peeling on the padlock, so I'm getting a new bag from NAP - a medium whiskey, just like the one I had to begin with. Yes, I'm really excited. It's been cleared out of customs as of 4:43 am (weird time) last night...but no new update on the tracking, so I'm still waiting!!

Good to hear the spraying went well... Will start to protect mine, I feel so bad, I've used my bags while it's been snowing. I'm ordering apple garde today


Thanks mtaz for the retail info for the mini, will tell my friend (I'm not the one looking for it, but asked for her) Thanks again!

Hi Leona,
I also purchased it in BLACK. At first. im dying to get it in dark brown. But then the black looks better with the gold hardware when I see it in real Black is classic and you will never go wrong with this color!
Those with fake Paddy in black, they will never looks cool. UGLY UGLY UGLY
Hey, im still thinking to get it in brown(the new color for S/S), someday, when my money is enough tho..
Have u seen this color? I heard that its different then the dark brown.

Is your black the one with the black interior lining from S/S 2006? Is it jet black? I saw the photo on NAP and it looks HOT!!! LVR is getting their black in March so I'm hoping is the one I want. I might get it then.

As for the new brown, I heard it's lighter than the dark choco? I actually prefer the darkest brown over regular brown but if you get it, be sure to post photos!!

Hi! I have a Creme Paddington from previous seasons, but recently I saw one on NAP that's "offwhite". Then, I saw it in real life and saw that the leather for the new one is extremely pebbly. Mine's a smoother, more Nappa-like leather. I purchased mine off LVR a few seasons ago, and was wondering if anyone else noticed the same change in leathers!

Thanks dears!
