Chloe Paddington Bags (February 2005 - March 2010)

[janyoung99]

My dark blue from A/W 05 has loads of peeling on the lock and other hardware. I took it into Chloe on saturday and they will send it back to Paris for me...will take approx 4 weeks

My dark blue from A/W 05 has had a ton of use - and is still perfect looking. It's just hard to figure what the deal is with some bags having probs and some not. SO GLAD that you are getting yours fixed - that Chloe is taking responsibility. 4 weeks will fly by.

Thank you! I think my camera captured the color accurately. I couldn't be more pleased.

Very pretty Mammab!

How many paddies do you and SoCal have now?

I am back to two...the large whiskey zippy bouler and medium black pocket paddy. I feel so "reasonable"...

I JUST bought the Chloe Shopper Tote (Nordstroms calls it the Buyers Tote) but Chloe told me it was the Paddington Shopper Tote...anyhow....

I LOVE LOVE the bag, its kind of heavy but I still love how soft the leather is, and the shape of it and all the pockets and its flat enough to carry around with ease over my shoulder and yet can expand to fit binders and stuff (the Nordstroms handbag manager even gave me binders and files to put inside just to test it out)



I'll post pics later...mine is black btw

 

[Jellylicious]

That was fast!!! Congrats! Can't wait to see pix!

Thanks SoCal, madem0iselle, Guessgirl96, Jelly.

I have 2 now, just like SoCal ! One thing I have learned on my handbag journey is that when I buy a lot of the same designer/style/color, etc. I get burned out real fast. I actually carried around my black balenciaga now for a few days and I truly loved it and appreciated it. Not like before where I had a lot of other bags and I was obsessing over which one to carry next, etc. and never carried one around enough to truly adore it. I don't think my black b bag has had this much attention in a while. Poor thing.

Anyhow, my theory as of late is "less is more" if you know what I mean. This is also very good for the wallet!

Calissnoopy -- that is great news about the tote! I'm so glad you are happy with it. All the pockets is what attracted me to it. I think its a perfect bag for work, play, kids, etc.

Congratulations Calisnoopy! Hope it works out well for you. It really is a super design and I Love the pockets and extra top zippers. The handle length makes it so easy to use. Love to see your photos!

Hello all - I'm new to this site/forum. I just purchased my first Paddy from NAP in taupe a few days ago...I'm anxious for its arrival...

Mammab - I love your taupe!!! I now wish I would have seen that one first ...its so beautiful. Do you mind if I ask where you purchased it?

LVR has such great prices however from reading these posting I'm reluctant to purchase from their site ...although I would love to save a coupla hundred dollar ...

Mantra: Make it happen for yourself!!!!

I called Chloe and the SA said there are two different bags...one is called the shopper and it is shaped more like a lap top $1,910 (17.5x12x6.5) and there is the tote priced at $1720 17x10x9. Styledrops has one for $1,929 would anyone know which bag this is and has anyone bought from this website?

If any of you are looking for one, the Saks in the Houston Galleria has the metallic anthracite Paddington in the store.
