Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Chloé Medium Paddington Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 19 x 20 cm, this medium size is well suited to everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch, and similar daily items. It may also fit a compact tablet or paperback, depending on how you pack, but it is not designed for most laptops. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the Paddington known to be a heavy bag? A: Yes. One of the most frequently mentioned characteristics of the Paddington is its substantial feel, thanks to the thick leather and signature padlock hardware. Many collectors love that slouchy, luxurious look, but if you prefer especially lightweight bags, it is worth keeping in mind.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This bag features dual handles, and the listed strap or handle measurement is 22 cm. Many people find the Paddington works best carried in the hand, on the arm, or close to the shoulder depending on personal fit and what you are wearing. There is no detachable shoulder strap listed in the product information.
Q: Does this item include the signature padlock and key? A: Yes. This specific item includes both a padlock and key, as listed in the product information. That signature lock detail is one of the defining features of the Paddington line.
Q: What are the materials and colour details of this bag? A: According to the product data, this bag is crafted in black leather with gold-tone hardware, a black textile lining, and a zip closure with the signature padlock detail. It is a vintage Chloé piece made in Italy.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This means it has been well kept, with gentle signs of wear consistent with a carefully used vintage bag.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Chloé Paddington bag? A: For best care, store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture, and avoid overfilling it so the leather keeps its shape. Clean the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals or household cleaners. For deeper conditioning or repairs, a professional leather specialist is recommended.
Q: How do you authenticate a Chloé Paddington bag? A: Authentic Paddington bags are typically assessed through a combination of details such as the quality and feel of the leather, the weight and finish of the hardware, stitching consistency, branding, and overall construction. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity before sale, so you can shop pre-owned luxury with confidence.
