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 Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 16 × 17 cm, this medium-sized bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other compact items. It offers a roomy silhouette for its size, but it is not ideal for larger items such as a laptop or bulky folders. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this piece.
Q: Is the Paddington known to feel heavy? A: Yes. The Paddington is well known for its substantial feel, largely due to its thick leather construction and signature padlock hardware. That weight is part of the design character of the model, so if you prefer very lightweight bags, it is worth keeping in mind.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: This piece has dual rolled handles and an approximate drop of 20 cm. Depending on your frame and what you are wearing, it may sit on the shoulder, but many people also carry the Paddington by hand or in the crook of the arm. If you usually wear bulky coats or prefer a longer strap, this style may feel most comfortable as a hand-held bag.
Q: Does this item come with the padlock and key? A: Yes. The product information for this piece lists both the padlock and key as included.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This bag features a top zip closure, which helps keep contents enclosed during daily use. The signature padlock and key are part of the iconic Paddington design and add to the bag’s recognisable look.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows wear and fraying to the leather with rubbed edges, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage leather bags, gentle signs of age are part of its character.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: How should I care for vintage leather on a Paddington? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, avoid overfilling it, and wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Because this is a vintage leather piece, it is best to avoid harsh cleaners, heavy oils and prolonged exposure to rain or heat.
Q: How do you authenticate a Chloé Paddington bag? A: Paddington bags are often checked for details such as the quality and feel of the leather, stitching, hardware, padlock, stamps and interior finishing. At A Retro Tale, each item is reviewed for authenticity before sale, so you can shop with confidence.
