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 the Chloé Medium Paddington Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 18 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella or 500 ml bottle laid on its side. An A5 notebook can fit, while A4 documents will not lie flat comfortably. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how fully the bag is packed.
Q: Can I wear this bag on the shoulder? A: Yes, many people can wear it snugly on the shoulder thanks to the dual rolled top handles with an approximate 20 cm drop. It also works well carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does this bag come with a strap or work crossbody? A: No shoulder strap is listed in the product information, and this style is not designed as a crossbody bag. It is intended to be carried by the top handles.
Q: Is the Paddington known to be heavy? A: Yes, the Paddington is known for a weightier feel than many bags of similar size because of its substantial leather, chunky hardware and signature padlock. If you prefer very lightweight bags, that is worth keeping in mind.
Q: How does the signature padlock work? A: The padlock is one of the Paddington's defining design details and can also act as an added closure detail. For everyday use, many owners simply keep it attached decoratively and use the top zip as normal for quicker access.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is shown in the product information. For this listing, a padlock and a dust bag are included.
Q: What condition notes should I know before buying? A: This bag is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage pieces, small signs of age and wear are part of its character.
Q: How should I care for vintage grained leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid overfilling, rain, direct heat and prolonged sun exposure. When not in use, store it in its dust bag and lightly stuff it with tissue to help maintain the shape. Avoid harsh cleaners unless recommended by a leather specialist.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and overall consistency. For Paddington bags in particular, key points include the quality of the leather, the feel of the hardware and the overall craftsmanship.
