Actually, this thread was started in early October. I got the hobo. Yeah, its heavy but all the Paddingtons are heavy. I don't think this one is proportionately heavier. I try to be very judicious in choosing what I carry in my bag so it doesn't get overloaded. Heavy, yes. Too heavy, no.
my opinion is to get another shape i got the classic one in medium and now i'm getting the small one
but i like these shapes as well..
the one in the middle in this pic
and the cream one in this pic
and by the way which one u mean is the classic one ? if it is not the one in olive in the pic above then buy it it is the best
