I do the same thing. I don't zip up my bag, I find it too time consuming. I don't like being at the cash register fidgeting with my bag to get it open. I try not to open and close the padlock either, I don't think it was meant to be constantly opened. I think it's there mainly for design purposes.

Hey thanks Loganz for the pics! Will come in handy if and when I get my paddy!

Thanks Loganz for the helpful hints! I will take your advice when I finally use my paddy. It is the Jean Moyen and I am waiting for the warmer weather to use it. It is still too cold and yucky in NYC to use it yet. I can't wait! I hope I don't have any problems w/the lock though!

I just got my paddy!! The embossed "Chloe" on the leather around the lock is not perfectly centered. Would something like that bother you guys? I've already put all my junk in the bag, and I don't really want to return it because I do like it.

Can u post pic?

I'll take a pic of it when I get home tonight. Also, the serial# is 01/06 51. Does this seem right?

Noriko · Mar 1st, 2006, 08:32 PM

When I got my paddington it was already scratched up

If I had kept it, it probably would have gotten a lot worse, since there were already scratches in the coating.

Excellent idea, Loganz. I'm going to try your idearight now! I have found getting things out of the bag a real pain...

I think it's a legit #. I had 2 different Paddys that I returned back to Nordys. The first one was 10 digits, 01-06-51-5191, and the 2nd one was 6 digits, 01-06-53. I guess there are various kinds of serial #'s...

Here is the pic--albeit very unclear. Hope you can see the embossed "chloe"?
Do you think it's too off-centered?
Thank you!

It would bother me

jehaga · Mar 2nd, 2006, 09:21 PM

urrrghhh...i don't want to return the entire bag to NM. Do you know if they might just change the lock if I called to complain? What a big bother it would turn out to be!!!

jehaga · Mar 2nd, 2006, 09:25 PM

I'm on the phone with NM now.
