First Chloe

I would get the bay. Usually the first run of a new bag is coveted later as being exceptionally nice. The new paddingtons just aren't doing it for me, and you will always be able to get one...so I would get the bay while you have a chance to get a first-run bag and then get a paddington when they address some of the leather quality issues! :yes: I'm sure you will be happy either way, as both are beautiful bags!
 
yep I agree with Kisa, there is nothing nicer than the first season new bags, so for this reason I would say bay is a great choice BUT, if you could do your research and luck out and find an 05 bag, then I would say Paddy, no question at all :biggrin:

good luck, its a lovely dilemma to have :smile:
