OMG the Chloe Paddington!!! Me Too! the leather was just way to pliable IMO. Every time I went for something "I knew I had in my purse" I just couldn't find it! it was like one big sack that I could never find anything when I needed to. Glad to retire it!
 
Hello!

I would say that the bag I was most disappointed by is my Gucci Indy (hobo) bag in ivory leather. I didn't even know the name of my bag until just now....I just googled for Gucci bags with a huge HEAVY bamboo handle and HUGE/oversized tassels...
I bought it back in 2009 and have only worn it 2x. Definitely too heavy for everyday use or any day use at all. Plus, the shoulder strap was WAY too long and so I ended it up carrying it like a top handle bag...and since the handle is made of wood, it hurt my arms :yucky:

(I've attached a picture if anyone was curious as to what it looks like..)

Anyways, definitely a huge waste of money :(

Mine is without doubt a Chloe Paddington. Within a few weeks I found it heavy and hateful and was delighted to sell it.

For me it was the Fossil Reissue Flap Bag. It was attractive bag but the hardware was difficult to operate and the strap way too long. I had to lift the bag up in order to slide my hand in.

My daughter has it now and she loves it.

The MJ petal to the metal natasha in cement. The leather looks old and dry despite light use and I've applied conditioner a couple of times. Forget about it being an everyday bag and the style is too casual for anything else. I guess I expected more as I had a Michael Kors Layton in the same price range that still looked new after a couple of years of almost daily use.

i agree...i bought that bag and returned it the next day..it was cumbersome to get in and out of..also, no way to really comfortably wear it on your shoulders..it felt like it was digging into my shoulders.

beautiful bag tho..

for me..it's a cross between my marco tagliaferri or the chloe paddington. i was so hyped up about both of them and they were both a huge disappointment.

i thought the mt was way overpriced for what it was. the leather was very thin and looked cheap, esp since the bag was almost 600. and it wasn't even lined.

the paddington was just heavy and had a really funny droop once it wasn't stuffed with paper at the store.

If I had known sooner, I would have returned it as well~ It's good that you recognized how impossible that bag is to use before it was too late... I had just purchased the bag in the states before I went out of the country for summer vaca.....and by the time I came back..it was too late and I had the tag and covering on it for at least half a year before I took it out....
