Q: What typically fits inside the Chloé Medium Paddington? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 19 × 22 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. A 500 ml bottle fits best laid horizontally. An 11‑inch tablet can fit without a bulky case when placed horizontally; A4 documents do not lie flat.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, many wearers can carry the Medium by hand, in the crook of the arm or on the shoulder thanks to the dual rolled handles (approx. 20 cm drop). Over heavier layers it may feel snug. There is no long strap, so it is not designed for crossbody wear.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or documents? A: A 13‑inch laptop is generally too large and can strain the zip and opening. A4 documents do not lie flat. Compact tablets up to about 11 inches fit best when placed horizontally without a bulky case.
Q: Are replacement padlocks or keys available if lost? A: Third‑party resellers sometimes offer pre‑owned or aftermarket locks and keys; finishes and fit can vary and replacements may affect collectability. We list everything included under Accessories—this piece comes with its padlock and key.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, many wearers can carry the Medium by hand, in the crook of the arm or on the shoulder thanks to the dual rolled handles (approx. 20 cm drop). Over heavier layers it may feel snug. There is no long strap, so it is not designed for crossbody wear.
Q: Does the padlock actually lock the bag? A: The signature padlock can secure the zipper pulls together using the attached loops, and the key is included with this item. In everyday use many owners keep the lock on for its iconic look; if you prefer a lighter feel, you can remove the lock and store it safely.
Q: Is the Paddington heavy? A: The Paddington is known for its weight due to thick grained leather and the solid metal padlock. Owners and editors commonly report an overall weight around 1–1.3 kg with the lock attached, and early padlocks alone were noted to be roughly 1–2 lbs. Exact weight varies by production year and how you pack the bag.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or documents? A: A 13‑inch laptop is generally too large and can strain the zip and opening. A4 documents do not lie flat. Compact tablets up to about 11 inches fit best when placed horizontally without a bulky case.
Q: What are the main authenticity signs on a vintage Paddington? A: Look for soft, non‑uniformly pebbled grained leather; clean, even stitching; a weighty brass‑tone padlock with matching key; and correct logo stamping. Depending on the year, you may find an interior serial/hologram tag. Note that details can vary by season. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our experts before listing.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry; condition sparingly with a neutral leather cream only when needed. Avoid prolonged sun, heat or moisture, and keep dark denim or newly dyed fabrics from rubbing against the leather. To minimise hardware marks, avoid letting the lock swing against the leather and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: Are replacement padlocks or keys available if lost? A: Third‑party resellers sometimes offer pre‑owned or aftermarket locks and keys; finishes and fit can vary and replacements may affect collectability. We list everything included under Accessories—this piece comes with its padlock and key.
Q: Is this the classic 2000s design or a recent reissue? A: This is a vintage Medium Paddington with the quintessential slouchy leather and statement padlock of the original era. Chloé has recently revived the style with updated versions, but your piece retains the authentic early‑2000s look and feel.
