Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Chloé Paddington Hobo Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 37 x 26 x 17 cm, it is a practical medium-sized shoulder bag for daily use. It should comfortably hold essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a small notebook or e-reader. Capacity can vary depending on how you organise your items, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag has a single shoulder strap with an approximate strap drop of 30 cm, which gives it a comfortable under-arm hobo fit for most wearers. As always, the fit can vary slightly depending on coat thickness and personal preference.
Q: Is the Chloé Paddington known for being heavy? A: The original Paddington is well known for its substantial feel, largely because of its thick leather and signature metal hardware. Many collectors love that solid, luxurious feel, but if you prefer especially lightweight bags, it is worth keeping in mind.
Q: Is this a vintage Paddington or the recent reissue? A: This listing is for a vintage Paddington Hobo Shoulder Bag. The Paddington originally became famous in the mid-2000s and has recently been reintroduced by Chloé, but this piece is described and sold here as a vintage item.
Q: Does this bag have secure closure and internal organisation? A: Yes. According to the product information, it has a top zip closure, tonal lining and one internal pocket, making it easy to keep smaller essentials organised.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The exterior and interior are both rated Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. This means the bag presents very well overall while still showing the gentle signs of wear expected from a pre-owned vintage piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a dust bag, authenticity card and tag. Everything included is listed in the product information; if something is not mentioned there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage black leather? A: Store it in its dust bag when not in use, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture, and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays relaxed but supported. For day-to-day care, wipe it gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners unless they are suitable for luxury leather.
Q: What should I look for when buying a pre-owned Paddington? A: Buyers usually pay close attention to the quality of the leather, the finish of the hardware, the stitching and the interior stamp or serial details. The Paddington is a widely recognised model, so authentication matters. At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully vetted for authenticity before it is offered for sale.
