Was just wondering if any of you had a chance to lay your hands on a 08 SS Paddington Plexi. The one I'm talking about is an oversized bag. I haven't been really into Chloe for long, but when I research in the forum (ha!) I find Chloe seldom do oversize bags. Or maybe it's just my imagination...
Here it is:

I think this bag is absolutely gorgeous. I held it a few times in a high end department store (I live in Hong Kong btw), it is sooooooooooo light comparing to other paddys. Simply because the lock is no longer made of brass / silver / whatever metal, it's plexi! It gives the bag such a modern feeling. And the leather!!!! It's as soft as ever!
Now here comes the question: in HK they only offer the white and the silver colour (in that particular high end department store). I have yet to visit the Chloe store. So I research frantically online to see if there are other colours. You see, a colour as light as white or sand (available in EU I believe) is prone to stains, pen marks etc. So if I am really to buy one I wanna get a darker colour. Then I bumped into this:

This looks like a different size and a different colour but similar shape.
So, has any of you seen other colours for the oversized bag? Inputs and pics are welcomed!
Also, what do you girls think of the plexi lock? I've seen so many paddys with metal lock. This seems to be a bit... odd. I mean it's all modern and light, but the plexi sort of loses part of the charm of the paddy... Or am I just paranoid about changes/improvements??
Inputs, ladies. Inputs.
