Ladies i dont know what to do here :confused1: ... i bought this wonderful aubergine metallic paddy but i dont like the regular silver lock ...so i decided i would buy the Swarovski crystal lock to go full bling:supacool: ... there is a lock i could get for a good price but with silver leather on it ...should i get it and try and swap the leather straps on the lock so that its aubergine too ? or should i wait until a right one comes along ? was the Swarovski padlock even done in aubergine ? im torn and i dont know what to do ...please HELP ! :crybaby:

I think the silver would look OK. It is close enough. Silver and black look great together - Silver and purpleish black should look OK.

Otherwise, try calling a Chloe boutique. Someone on this site suggested to call the Christian Louboutin boutique when I was looking for shoes. I would never have thought to call a boutique in New York to get something but it worked out beautifully. If a boutique doesn't have it they can get it from anywhere in the world, usually without a mark up. Good luck!!

Hi Nataliam, The aubergine was not done with Swarovski crystals so it would probably look silly to put a silver on there sorry :smile:

I think a leather expert would be able to do it easily for you. If you look at the padlocks closely, the leather is glued on, so I think its a possibility

and you will have a unique, bespoke paddy :smile:

Oh yes a good leather person could do that for you, it would definitely look well. Dunno where you would take the leather from though? I suppose from the pieces that hold the key if you could get a piece wide enough.
I am just funny about carrying anything that wasn't made though LOL

I would totally swap the straps and be blinged out! It shouldn't be hard to do. A great cobbler should be able to do that for you. :yes: I think it'll look sooo pretty on aubergine! Please keep us updated :heart:
