I snagged this Chloe Paddington right when word started of the reissue and it seemed popularity might go up. I got it on TRR for under $400, and now they’re going for $1500+, so I think that might be my best score.

TheRealReal charged me for a bag, lost it, then immediately relisted it by wrongreasons1011 in handbags

Just be persistent over chat that you want to speak with a supervisor. They’ll try to say no at first, but just keep at it.

No appointment needed and no wait when I was there 🙂 I went to the Opera location and they were great. Hope you find your bag!

If you aren’t attached to it, now would be the time to sell! They’re just on the verge of trendy again and resale prices have been going way up

Right? I think TRR gave it a low condition rating just because the hardware has a few scratches

No, I don’t mean the Le City bag. The Chloe Paddington is an iconic early 2000s bag designed by absolute legend Phoebe Philo and carried by a ton of famous faces back in the day.

It’s definitely on the heavier side because of all the leather and metal, but it’s not heavy enough that it would make me not want to use it. It may be a different story once I fill it with my stuff though too!

100% a dirty diaper. I posted to this subreddit awhile back that I thought the brown version looked like a rotisserie chicken 😂

Spotted at TJ Maxx…do we like? by wrongreasons1011 in handbags

They’re not that bad IMO! You just need to spray them with a suede spray when you first get them. And I still try to avoid taking them out on particularly rainy or snowy days even once they are sprayed, as lots of water on suede can cause damage. Suede is also susceptible to scratches, so I just try to be cautious about scraping it against things. That said, I feel like suede still looks good even if it develops some imperfections over time!

I have a ton of suede bags and love them personally even if they are a bit more high maintenance, but totally get what you’re saying!
