Chloe Paddington Bags (February 2005 - March 2010)

[mrssparkles]

I don't the the previous season paddys either, so don't know of any difference.

I have the light blue Jean's Moyen and I love it. It's very slouchy, and the leather feels great. It is a colour harder to find. I don't think they produce as many units as they did with the other colours.

Eeek, I am now in Paddington H*ll! I got a package today, but it wasn't the Blanc I was expecting - it's another chocolate!! OMG! It came from the San Diego store, same place I ordered the Blanc with Matt last Thursday. The chocolate bag was shipped by an s/a named Monica on the same day Matt was supposed to ship the Blanc. So, I have some investigation to do later on tonight. CA is three hours behind me; I'll wait until I have free cell minutes!

Ladies, whoever here said the new chocolate has no red in it was indeed correct. This one is a true, rich, dark chocolate brown compared to my chocolate of last season which has a hint of burgandy. It's a perfect bag too, lock, texture (a nice mix of pebbled and smooth) and shape. I am keeping both, since I don't have a true brown bag. Last season's leather is definitely softer and more vintage looking, but this new one is gorgeous too.

When and if the Blanc arrives, it's going back. I would rather have a chocolate I can use year round in New England than an off-white that is not only seasonal, but might show dirt. I'll be way too paranoid in the long run.

Man, I need some credits on my charge cards! Cougess, I'm feeling your pain, LOL!

Hi, can you post picture of the new dark choco brown Paddy?

LOL!! Tell me about it!! Luckily I live near 2 neiman's stores so I've been able to return the paddys and get an immediate credit instead of having to ship them back and wait 6 weeks! I'm sure the people in customer service think I am crazy. B)

attention all lt blue paddy owners, is this ebay auction pretty close to what your color looks like? It looks awfully blue compared to the ones I've seen: 6843694692

Mine is more grey-ish blue.

Does anyone know what colour paddy mischa barton has? that's the colour i'm desperate to get hold of!

from what i can see it looks similar to the pics of the paddington New Colours shown on LVR, but they are listed as Jaune, Mousse, Taupe and Whisky, but i'm not sure which is which!

If I lived near two Neiman's stores I'd be in big trouble!! You have willpower girl!

Okay, I found out what happened with my Blanc. It got hung up in the distribution center. Both the chocolate and Blanc hit my credit card on the same day. The s/a at Nordstrom San Deigo who shipped the chocolate saw my name on a wait list and sent the bag w/out calling first. That same night, I was on the phone ordering the Blanc from the same store, not realizing the chocolate was on the way.

Luckily customer service was able to re-route the Blanc from the distribution center back to the store and credited my charge card last night. I really want to see it but what's that old saying? What you don't see you don't miss. Yeah, I'll keep telling myself that.

I'll get pics of the new chocolate bag this weekend to post, and also pics of both together - old and new seasons.

Congrats,Roey,on the new Paddy...I suppose you have quadruplets now?

Any chance of a comparative pic of your two chocolates?

Thanks. Um, yes to quadruplets.

This might explain why I have no SO... or human children.

lol!

I'd love to see the browns together to see the difference, you have the winter brown and the spring brown?

 

[roey]

Yup, winter and spring brown. I hope I can capture the colors well on camera.

this is a picture from pink's new video, imitating MK olsen (I personally think she looks like posh spice, I forgot her real name). Her bag is some odd mix between a silverado and paddington

Not as if wearing a fake is bad enough, but this is from a music video!

i saw someone on the subway with the exact paddy/silverado blend fake.
it's hideous.

If the Chloe tag (on the paddy) reads "Red" can I be assured this is the lipstick red or would it be the darker red?

I'm confused -- you have the tag but not the bag? I don't have either, but I have learned that you can't rely on the tag. for ex, my cream paddy from the first season is called "natural" and so is my tan, even though they're completely different colors. so it's possible that they are both called red.

Here are pics of my light blue paddy! I just picked it up this morning. I'm a bit disappointed to see that my lock is scratched. The leather feels very soft and slouchy. As you could see, it's a bit pebbled and very wrinkly. The color reminds me of an MJ satchel I used to own in the Ocean color. The hue is VERY similar.

MRJ: I'm sorry about the lock, but that bag is BEAUTIFUL!!! It looks perfect , IMO, in terms of texture and shape. Wow, I really didn't think I cared for that color but your pics are killing me. Congrats!

Mischa has Tan. I'm confused on this color but evidently they are still being produced. I just sent one back to Bloomingdale's in Boca Raton FL. I don't have the number handy but call and ask for Jeanne.

I'm sorry about the lock also - where did your bag come from? It almost looks like that was a return.

It was a transfer from another store in Nordstroms. I was told that it was not a return as my SA called me the same day they receive a huge shipment of paddys. I wish I knew about the lock prior to doing the phone order ...nonetheless, it's a lovely bag. I saw the whiskey and chocolate the other day and those locks have similar scratches too ... Thanks!

Thanks Daisy! It truly is a stunning bag and the leather is oh so soft!
