I loved the Paddington when I first saw it (like over 15 years ago!?) but it was crazy money. Recently I was yearning to buy a vintage LV speedy to replace the one I sold many years ago but I noticed this burgundy Paddington on a reseller site for less than £150. It seems pretty good condition and comes with a long strap which I’ve never seen before. Did anyone know what they were called?

Don't know, sorry, but this Paddington looks gorgeous! Such a beautiful color. For that money, definitely a good deal, IMO.

Could this possibly be the "Baby Paddington?"
What are the measurements of the bag, if I may ask?

I'm asking as the handles seem to be long compared to the body of the bag.

Wow! That is so beautiful and what a great deal! I just received a Paddington I found online for $225. Dark green and it’s in nearly perfect condition! I feel like these need to come back in style haha. View attachment 4885387

That’s a lovely bag and I know what you mean! I never was able to enjoy them when they first came around but they seem really accessible now with the pre owned market. I’ve heard it’s heavy but I’ve had a fair few heavy bags already so fingers crossed.

Wow! so beautiful! i would also like a paddington in my collection!!! That's a gorgeous color.

I really love the idea of going back and purchasing previous "it" bags instead of constantly trying to keep up with what is trendy or what's hot on instagram. i wish more people would get into reviving old designs. it is a more sustainable way of bag/fashion consumption. i am glad that some fashion houses are also re-issuing old designs. :heart:

Love these colors!

Purchased pre-loved paddy's in off-white and black. I missed the early aughts when this was an "IT" bag.

:heart::heart:
I am a big fan of Chloe! The leather is beautiful. The paddy's aged well too.

I hope it comes back around since the early aught's are coming back in vogue. I would wear them regardless. Every time I take it out of the dust bag, (I quote another TRFer), "it's like falling in love all over again".

So smooshy:biggrin:
