Tan Paddington from eBay 
Got it authenticated in the appropriate thread before buying. (Thanks @Roie55!)
(Don't mind the undone bedding, preparing for my parents to visit)
I was in my late teens during the Paddington craze of the mid-late 2000s and while I loved seeing the Paddington on my favorite celebs (and even girls at school) it was not feasible for me to own one. I forgot about it for awhile but kept thinking about it on and off over the years.
Started getting back into bags recently and once I found out the secondhand market had Paddingtons in pretty good condition for much less than they originally retailed for, I was on the hunt. Might not be trendy anymore, but I love the size and the look. Plus, adult me has been giving in to indulging the millennial nostalgia to satisfy my younger self. Had to weed through a lot of obvious and not so obvious fakes and a good amount of missing locks, keys, or badly damaged bags, but really lucked out with this one!
The faintest signs of wear on the edges, only minor creasing, and barely noticeable hardware scratches. Still has the lock and key, and it still works.
It's gorgeous and soft and smooshy and I 100% get the hype for Chloe. Wouldn't be surprised if a few more end up in my closet in the future. Maybe an Ethel or Marcie or Kiss...
