Chloe’s Paddington satchel has been a major hit since its release, but frankly, I think this new take is far more interesting. The Pure Paddington duffle is a sleek, but feminine, bag that will quickly spawn a plethora of imitations.
The ultra-smooth matte black leather on the Paddington is practically seamless. Well, actually, besides the obviously well thought out decorative seaming, it is seamless. The only ornamentation on this minimal bag is a few very well-placed gold studs.
The shape is that of a traditional duffle, but the stiff smooth leather makes it look extra structured and sleek. The circular seaming around the handle fastenings reinforces the curvy design, and the gold padlock centers your interest. I have very little to say about this bag. Not because I don’t like it. On the contrary, I think that it’s a minimalist masterpiece, and there are so few details to describe and so much aura to take in.
$1,800 is a lot to pay for a handbag, but since the Pure Paddington is obviously going to become a quick cult classic, it seems, somehow, reasonable.
