gorgeous bag? i am currently eyeing a mouse paddington versus argent? can you compare the colors?
oh and what do you think of the front pocket versus the regular classic satchel?
did the front pocket come in three sizes, small, medium and large? and yours is a small?
how much did you get this for?
sorry for bombarding you with questions but the auction that im watching is ending soon.
thanks again

My hubby bought me the mustard paddy. Not sure of the colour name but it begins with a J. Used it tons and now its just at the bottom of the wardrobe in its dust bag. I need to fall in love with it again. Any ideas ladies? Just seems ive gone off the colour :( My best buddy sugested i have it dyed black and then i will use it once again. What do you lot think?

[ReRe]

I believe the color is jaune. A yellow/gold. I've never heard of anyone dying a paddy, you might be better off selling it, its a fairly unusual color.

Yep, that's it ReRe. I jut couldnt think of the colour
I did try to sell it on ebay and was flooded with people sending me mesages about buying their fake stuff. Gave me a complex as i thought everyone on ebay assumed it was a fake, I still have the sales reciept and i did include that in the auction but it left me feeling that if i didnt sell a fake then i wasnt welcome. One lovely lady wanted it but she couldnt handle the wear to the hardware. She wanted no chips and no rubs but only wanted to offer me less than $500 in Dollars for it. Id rather keep it than sell it for that.

I know ebay can be difficult. I've had the exact same problems. I'd be interested to hear how you make out with the possibility of dying it. Wonder if they could do it without getting dye on the inside, hardware, etc?

Hi everyone! Just joined PF. I wanted to find out all about Balenciagas BUT I had to come over here because my first 2 loves are my Chloes. I saw this thread and had to bring them out from hiding to play! So, thank you...My very first expensive bag was the Silverado and, you know, 20 bags later I have to say she's still ALL THAT. My cognac 2005 Padd is out too. Thanks all for making this such a fun place to visit.

Mummy24, don't dye your bag. Hold onto it for a little while longer. If you have the original receipt then you should stand strong on ebay and sell it when you are ready again :-)

Thanks for that hun. I know i should try ebay again but the people on there were offering silly offers for it and kept stating it was a fake and they didnt see why i should want such a high buy it now. I got so upset as they said i could have got a reciept from anywhere. I know where i bought the bag and i know its authentic and i know my reciept is authentic as well. People do annoy me at times.
Thank goodness i found this wonderful forum where we can share all our gripes and moans, but also our happiness and joys

Know what you mean about the e-bay thing, it's getting so that no one wants to pay a fair price for bags. I've tried to sell a brand new Tracy 06 still with tags, and I've had all sorts of weird requests and e-mails. The thing with e-bay is just keep at it, the right buyer will happen along.

Ive given up with the bag. My hubby suggested having it on display in our new to be italian inspired living room in one of the cabinets. That way i can enjoy the bag in a new way,lol! One of my girlfriends buys designer shoes to display in her cabinet. Its beautiful to see but im not sure a handbag will have the same effect.
Id have to buy a mirrow display stand for it as the display cabinet is maple, ebony and mirrored glass. If it happens i will post photos. Just waiting on the furniture to arrive from Italy as its being made there.

Cute idea - displaying it--also a great conversation piece. Re: the e-bay sale, I think fall will be a better time to try and sell it, but who knows, you may really enjoy the display more than having the sale.

bags & shoes on display are better art than a bunch of useless tchochkes!!!
