Do you guys like the new baby paddies with the shoulder strap?

I just bought two, yes TWO baby paddies with the shoulder strap from Nordies! I already had two regular paddies but they were so heavy and I just had surgery on my right shoulder so I could not carry them right handed. My new babies are black w/ black hardware and nutmeg with gold hardware. They are definitely smaller but pretty darn cute! What is the opinion on this bag out there in Chloe land? Thanks!

 

Thanks Jag, although if I decide to keep the baby paddies I have to return the medium ones.....There's no way I need two nutmeg paddies and two black ones in different sizes. I just hope I don't wish later I had more room!

 

Thanks Jag...It is lousy, I got the surgery to repair a torn tendon and now my whole shoulder is "frozen" and I can't move it, let alone a big paddy!! I am new to the forum and I love that there are other people out there who are as obsessive about bags as I am. FINALLY, people who understand.....unlike the general population

 

Stormy, Congrats on the bag. You are so lucky, my mom has a coronary over the price of a Dooney and Bourke (and that was Waaaayyy back before my taste in bags got crazy) There is NO ONE in my family that knows the price of my "cute little bag with the padlock." My brown baby paddy is also Muscade...I think it is also called Nutmeg, if anyone out there knows for sure.

 

OK, this is a first with posting photos so hopefully they turn out. After seeing them on camera, I definitely am in LOVE with the baby paddies over my mediums. I luckily don't carry around too much. OK, I tried to load the pics and I only did 3, but it says my photos exceed the forums size?????? What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks!

 

OK guys, I think I got it, I had to reload them in a smaller format.....TA DA!!

 

J Star, they don't look messy at all on the shoulder. I do think they look "cuter" carried in the hand. The shoulder strap does come off, but then the buckles are still attached to the bag. I just lay the shoulder strap in the middle and carry it by the handles sometimes. I love them!
