i know you came your decision - just my 2 cents! , i dont know what a pippa is - will look it up. maybe i will want one! anyway, i love my caramel paraty. looks better with use & very versatile & quite classy. i like it because I like it, not because of celebrity, etc. i actually hated it at first, but it grew on me.
 
Nooo keep your pippa!! I have 2 and love them!! They hold soo much and still look great,
I do like the paraty but I've heard it's very heavy so I can imagine it wouldn't be very comfy to carry when it's full, pippa all the wayyy :)

Ditto! I love my Paraty - it works dressed up or down, and Chloe neutrals are simply stunning (my Paraty is in Rock).

I'm going to have to check out the Pippa, too - I keep hearing good things but haven't seen one yet.
 
I had the Modalu Pippa in shark (recently sold it only bc I had another grey bag) and I loved it! It's such a classic shape and I loved all the gold zippers. I like it much more than the paraty which I find quite unattractive, honestly, esp the front tubing detail.
 
I just looked up your Pippa and I think it's really nice, but very different from the Paraty. If you think you still want one I would keep an eye on sales. I was debating an orange mechanic Paraty a few months ago - it was $477, which was a significant discount - but I took too long to decide and it sold out at that price. Anyway, if you are not in a hurry, maybe you can find a great deal too.
 
I have 2 paraty's. Bought the first in black and loved it so much bought the next one in red. It's not heavy (I have the medium). I have held the large and it is very big and heavy. The medium is the perfect size. I can get a lot in it, it has pebbled leather and wears like iron. I've taken it traveling as the leather doesn't show any wear. Love the choice of shoulder strap or handles.

Really, where was that sale? I am not that lucky with sales on designer purses.
 
I think the Paraty is a beautiful bag and the craftsmanship is stunning as with all Chloé bags IMO.

But I would never buy this myself. I think I would get tired of the design after a while and it is not as timeless as I would like my bags to be. I made the mistake with my Paddington (which I love, but rarely use) and promised myself that all future bags had to be absolutely timeless.
