Ladies, do you wear your paddys with the padlock?

so, we were having a dinner party at mr. k's in nyc for my dad's birthday - family plus a few guests - and we're all having nice, quite conversations, when suddenly my bratty little brother picks up my muscade baby paddy and asks me how much it cost. then, he shouts across to the next table where my mom is sitting and says, "mom, guess how much she spent on this thing?!"
so my mom has to walk over, grimace at my bag (y'know, cuz it's not LV or bottega veneta, it must be absolutely worthless) and asks why in the world is it so heavy, why would i waste so much money on such an impractical and vain accessory. and for a moment everyone at the dinner party is looking at me. keep in mind my dad's kind of an academic type, so some of the guests there were like, the deans of some universities - not the type of people you'd usually associate with appreciating fashion.
my boyfriend - of all people- comes to my rescue, and says (demonstrating): "but if some guy comes along and wants to mug her, she can just whack that guy in the head with her bag, and he'd fall over with a concussion. the padlock is for her protection."
moral of story? always wear the lock on your paddy.

This story is HI-larious!
I always wear it with the lock.... though I did buy the large tote and that one, I had to return. The lock kept falling into the middle of the bag and you couldn't see it, and with the bigger size, it was just too much. And I'm someone who routinely wears bags that weigh like suitcases! (I joke that I have a groove in my left shoulder from the heavy bags over the years.... sad but true!)
I keep the lock off, too, because it makes it to hard to get in and out of the bag. Also, I got my brand new 06 choco paddy at Saks Off 5th for $499 b/c the lock was broken
The paddington is a really heavy bag even with the lock off, though. I love the substantial feel of it but it's still close to 5 lbs even without the lock.
I have a baby Paddy and the padlock never comes off!! The padlock is what makes it soooooo special
Taking your paddy out without it's gorgeous padlock must be like losing a limb tbh

My front paddy weighs a ton, but I would never think of wear it w/o the padlock,it's part of the bag, the most important part IMO,so I will carry it only when my DH is around.
They don't feel much heavier than other bags to me. Even my Balenciagas are quite solid feeling with all my stuff in them.
Can't imagine removing the lock.
