FAQ
Q: What typically fits inside the Chloé Medium Paddington Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 x 18 x 20 cm, this medium size is well suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small pouch and a compact water bottle. It is better for daily use than for larger items like a laptop or A4 documents.
Q: Is the Paddington known to be a heavy bag? A: Yes. One of the most commonly mentioned features of vintage Paddington bags is their substantial feel, thanks to the thick leather and weighty hardware. If you prefer very lightweight handbags, this is worth keeping in mind, especially when the bag is fully packed.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This piece has dual top handles rather than a detachable long strap. Depending on your frame and what you are wearing, it may sit close to the shoulder, but the Paddington is most often carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: Yes. This bag features a top zip closure, which helps keep your belongings secure while giving the slouchy Paddington shape a practical everyday finish.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in good condition. There is visible wear and peeling on the handles, light signs of use inside, and scratches and tarnish to the brass hardware. We recommend reviewing the product photos carefully for the clearest impression of its current state.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with an authenticity card. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information, so if something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for vintage black leather and brass hardware? A: Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and moisture, and wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid overfilling it, as vintage handles and edges can show wear more quickly.
Q: Why is the Chloé Paddington considered such an iconic bag? A: The Paddington became one of Chloé’s most recognisable designs thanks to its soft, slouchy silhouette and chunky hardware. It remains a sought-after vintage style for collectors and anyone who loves early-2000s designer bags.
Q: How can I tell whether a vintage Paddington is authentic? A: Authenticity should be judged through the overall quality of the leather, stitching, hardware and branding rather than one detail alone. Vintage Chloé bags can vary, so signs such as supple leather, well-finished construction and convincing hardware are usually more helpful than relying on a single code or stamp.
