Maybe Sable?

You are right it is creme. I called the vendor and he read it off the label. I'm excited about this shade, it is perfect so I ordered the bag.

Congrats, I think I've seen one paddy on eBay described as flesh cream and it as gorgeous! I believe it was 06 fall creme (a dark beige colour with a light coffee undertone) if I'm remembering right, I'm sure you'll love it!

Congrats Susieserb!!! I have just received my Creme Paddy and I LOVE it to bits For me it is the perfect shade of cream being that bit darker - I sold my beautiful Blanc because it was too pale for me

I have a bone (off white) Prada so that answers my needs for a "white" purse but I really wanted a cream (very light) camel purse. I'm tell ya I've been searching what seems like forever. Score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my first, full retail, Chloe purchase arrived fresh from Havwii (my mother's pronunciation) today. Man I ordered that thing on Sunday and it came today Wens???? It's the medium belt pocketed Paddington in creme. What an absolutely beautiful purse and get this I sniffed the stupid thing all because of that thread posted about the stranger smelling a Paddington in the stands (never thought to do so otherwise?)..

Anyway, the color is really gorgeous but I'm slightly deflated. The hue I truly desire does NOT exist in the Chloe family and that would be 'dark natural linen'. Hell I should buy a linen purse but wait a minute I DID!! But I returned it because I felt the bag would get dirty and stupid looking in the hot Summer months (actually you can still see this purse on the BG's sale site. It's a MK's).

I pulled out shoes and I have plenty that match this new creme beauty, dark brown even works since this creme has a coffee undertone (again excellent descriptions above).

Last I truly believe, for the money, Chloe offers excellent craftmanship and DETAIL with their purses. I am impressed with these bags. I have two (and I purchased those within 1 month of each other) so I can wait a long while.

Do you guys think this creme will sell out fast?

I'm returning the bag, too fleshy and wrong for my wardrope. I'm so destressed trying to figure out Blanc (btw PP thanks for your blanc picture) I still see it as off white. Now the Vanilla (ha) of 05 appears to be perfect and we know my chances of finding a paddy in that color.........people in hell want ice water!!!!!!!

Beanie? Is Vanilla allot more yellow than blanc? Just curious. Is blanc just slightly darker than the white dust bag?

Wink Post your cream/off white/white/true white/any white-ish chloes here! :)

Hi ladies, I thought it would be nice to start a specific "color" thread so we can all admire and drool over that certain color as soon as we click on this thread..(we had similar threads like this in balenciaga and I personally LOVED looking at it..) people also tell them the name of the color and the year..(I think it would help a lot of buyers as well)

so what do you think? care to share your pretty pictures of any white-ish chloes here? pwese?

05 craie loaf
06 blanc satchel

The whites are actually very different IRL: the craie has distinct flesh undertones and the blanc has a yellowish base.

thanks everyone!!
i'm just drooling over them right now..
I still can't really tell between craie and white on the picture..but the two bags looked amazing!!

and I absolutely adore the sable 05!! it's so pretty..
is it the same as the vanilla?

another question is it hard to keep them clean? do the white colored leather get dirty easily??
