I absolutely love both and would get both in a heartbeat! BUT if I had to choose one, FOR ME I would choose the Paddy because IT IS the iconic Chloe bag, and I love it regardless of whether it is considered "in" or "out." I wear my the padlock with pride. Now, that being said, I adore the betty because it is so lightweight and functional. As long as you get what YOU love- you cannot go wrong!
 
I've obsessed for ages about owning a Chloe Paddington, I think I've now made my choice. I have fallen head over heels for the Spring 07 Medium sized Paddington with front pocket in rock leather as currently shown on the Chloe website.:love:
 
I voted for the Betty cuz I dislike the lock on the paddy. I know it gives it the signature look but who wants to lug around a heavy bag all the time (not me). Also, the paddy is too common and IMO on its way out (don't hit me!!). The paddy has nicer leather than the Betty though.
 
I'm not a huge betty fan, but if you are worried about paddies being trendy and recognizeable you should consider an ascot! To me ascot is just a more ladylike paddy, that isn't as obvious, Jun posted beautiful pictures of hers in the ascot thread. :smile:
 
I just got my first chloe yesterday and I got the paddington. i love it! they have a lot of colors to choose from. so IMO the paddington is a better choice. but, like what everyone says, they are both great bags!
 
I love the med Paddy, and it really isn't that heavy (But I have the 06, I think the locks are a bit lighter?) and holds a nice amount. If not the Paddy then the Chloe I love is the Edith.
