My fist Chloe Paddington in white

[fashionlover123]

My first Chloe paddington finally arrived, bought from ebay, thanks to Chloe experts Lescoy and i_wona's help in authentication. The bag, which was a store display, looks a bit more used than I thought, and there are a lot of wrinkles and grain (maybe calfskin is like that). Also, the leather seems to be a bit dry. Does anyone have any recommendations of which brand of leather conditioner to use for chloe paddy? I'm so afraid to stain it

yes, the plexi lock is very light, so the chloe bag ends up being a lot lighter than the stam bag

Great bag collection! So pretty

I have no idea about leather care - I just used a waterproofing spray on mine. Hopefully someone else can help you, until then you could try looking at this thread:

I think there's a few tips in there about a leather cream, but it is a long thread!

thank you all of you, I just read from other threads that apple leather care is good, so I ordered some and also order apple rain repellent. Hopefully it will help moisturize my chloe bag

Oh fashionlover that is fabulous - and the wrinkly/grained effect is very much a part of paddingtons - please do not think it looks used! I know of people who intentionally scrunch their paddies and weigh them down with something ehavy to encourage the wrinkling (although I really do not recommend this). You have a gorgeous new season bag and it looks absolutely and perfectly beautiful in your photos. Trust me, I would always pick a wrinkly paddy over a smooth one - in fact, many of us consider smooth paddies to be "defective" in a way!

I can see that your other bags are smooth-leather bags, so you might just need to get used to it, but belive me - what you've got is a really really gorgeous specimen!
