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 size is this Chloé Paddington Bag and how is it carried? A: This Small Paddington measures approximately 35 x 22 x 19 cm, with a handle drop of 22 cm. It is designed with dual rolled handles and is best suited to hand, arm, or shoulder carry depending on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: It is a practical everyday size that should comfortably hold a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, and other daily essentials. It is better suited to personal items than bulky work or travel belongings, so we recommend checking the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the Paddington known to be heavy? A: Yes, that is one of the most commonly discussed traits of the Paddington. The style is known for its substantial leather and signature padlock, so vintage examples often feel weightier than many bags of a similar size.
Q: Does this item include the iconic padlock and key? A: Yes. According to the product information, this item includes both the padlock and the key.
Q: Does the bag close securely, and what is inside? A: Yes. This bag has a zip closure for the main compartment, tonal fabric lining, and one internal pocket for smaller essentials you may want to keep organised.
Q: What condition is this vintage piece 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, which is consistent with gentle wear on a pre-owned vintage item.
Q: Does the absence of a listed serial number mean the bag is not authentic? A: No. This item does not have a serial number listed in the product information, but vintage Chloé bags can vary in how interior stamps or numbers appear. Authentication should always be judged from the overall construction, leather, hardware, lining, and brand details rather than one mark alone.
Q: How should I care for this vintage leather bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place and lightly stuff it when not in use to help maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling, prolonged direct sunlight, rain, rough surfaces, and contact with oils or dark-dyed fabrics. For routine care, wipe gently with a soft cloth and use a leather specialist for deeper cleaning if needed.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
