I just purchased the Paddy in Argent. Here are a few pix I just snapped--it's nighttime, so they aren't very true to color. I'll post more tomorrow!

I would say the color is closer to the second picture, it's a very subtle silvery/pale champagne shade. The leather is very soft & supple and a feels a lot lighter than regular paddies--I bought the Roche (dark grey) as well, and the leather feels thicker and much heavier.

*Quick question to any ladies who may have a metallic paddy--I've heard that the metallic finish does rub off, do I need to worry about that problem with this purse? Is there any way to prevent it? I'd really like to wear it as often as I can, I absolutely love it!

Ok, as you all know my SA from NM called me because she just got a shipment of the new paddies. So of course I rushed right over there to check them out especially since the new camel was supposed to be a different version of whiskey.

silver (with silver hardware): This is by far one of the most gorgeous colors I have ever seen Chloe produce. Seriously, it was out of this world. It is a very subtle silver with a slight gold undertone, very slight. It is not tin foily, or overpowering at all. In fact, ladies, I think it is the prettiest mettalic that Chloe has ever made. I am totally in love with it! And no, I did not buy it- because they are supposed to get in a ton more bags and I want to hold out a bit more. But damn, it was incredible.

white (gold hardware): As beautiful as ever. It is pure white and the hardware looks amazing on it. I would definitely recommend this color for spring/summer. Loved it.

camel (gold hardware): Lisa (my SA) had described it to me as whiskey without the orange undertones- definitely in the same family but just different. So I had to see it. I really wanted to love this color. I really wanted to see if Chloe could produce another rich color similar to whiskey. But this one was really flat IMO. It is no where as rich and full as whiskey. It seemed to have more salmon undertones. I don't know how else to explain it- but it definitely does not hold a candle to its predecessor, whiskey. Does anyone know for sure if they are discontinuing whiskey? AFter seeing camel, I certainly hope not.

Sorry for my long report, but I was really excited to let you all know about silver especially and about camel as Fayden posted in the other thread that she was interested to see that one.

jag...is Camel the same as Tan? The reason I ask is because my neighbor just ordered a Tobacco satchel from NAP and they sent a Tan by mistake. She showed it to me before she returned it for the Tobacco and I was NOT impressed at all. Very, very flat color just like you said and the leather was stiff. The lock was much lighter which was nice though. When she pulled it out of the dust bag I thought for a second it looked fake, although it definitely was not. I have the 2005 Tan hobo and the leather is completely different...no comparison at all. Too bad. :sad:

I think the new camel (cannelle??) has a lot less orange in it than tan. The one I saw in NM yesterday showed more similiarity to taupe.

Congrats RoseMary on the argent paddy! The color was very special IRL, I would have called it chamagne too :yes:

I don't think hte camel I saw was the same as tan. In fact, it did have some orange undertones in it, just less than whiskey. But for some reason, it was so flat and blah- I was not impressed at all. Whereas with the original tan and whiskey, they are so rich and gorgeous. I am wondering if the different retailers aren't mixing up the names though. I think hmwe46 is right- the camel is probably closer to taupe- but not as pretty.
