✚ vintage 2005 authentic chloé paddington bag. it's in the color "chocolate" with gold-tone hardware.
this is a vintage chloé bag from the "paddington" collection,introduced in 2005 under the creative direction of phoebe philo. the chloépaddington bag is one of the most iconic "it-bags" of the early 2000s. beloved for its soft, slouchy leather and distinct oversized padlock, the paddington stood out as both a practical handbag and a statement piece. it truly captured the spirit of the mid-2000s style, becoming a defining piece of the boho-luxury era.

condition: B tier, the exterior is in good condition and the interior (main interior, interior zip pocket, and the front side pocket) is stained from the previous owner (it appears to be from art supplies or makeup). this does not affect the exterior look or function of the bag, but i have listed it at a cheaper price due to this flaw. the lock is worn and the gold finish of the brass is slightly chipped/scratched in places due to natural wear over the years. the same goes for the key, and a bit on the nameplate as shown. the exterior leather of the bag also has some general wear on the sides, edges, etc. the lock and key are still perfectly functional, and the zippers are all smooth and working. overall the bag is still in good condition and is perfectly usable - all flaws are photographed to the best of my ability!
