Another season, another comeback. But few revivals stir the heart quite like the nostalgic return of Chloé’s iconic Paddington bag. Remember the soft, slouchy silhouette and pièce de resistance chunky, weigh-a-ton padlock? Well, it’s back. This time, reimagined for a modern wardrobe.
First launched in 2005, the Paddington quickly ascended to It-bag status, becoming a defining piece in Chloé’s leather goods legacy. With its equestrian-inspired details and instantly recognisable leather-wrapped padlock, it embodied effortlessly cool and off-duty chic. Now for fall-winter 2025, the maison breathes new life into the cult classic with thoughtful updates.

The emblematic padlock remains fully functional, though its once weighty construction is re-engineered with lightweight hardware. The use of supple washed leather also refines the overall construction, offering a lived-in, vintage-inspired charm. A new single-zip opening offers easier access, while an adjustable shoulder drop adds extra comfort.
To mark the return of the lighter, sleeker and just as covetable Paddington, Chloé is now offering limited early access via online registration. The bag’s official release in boutiques and online will follow in September, with the Paddington available in two sizes, small and medium, and four classic hues including Beige, Black, Brown and Cream.
