Twenty years after its debut in the Chloé S/S 05 show by Phoebe Philo, the Paddington bag is back. The iconic handbag returned on the runway in Chemena Kamali's fall/winter 2025 collection and will be making its official return later this year, and in-the-know shoppers can already join the wait list for the reissued Paddington bags at Chloé. While we await the rerelease of the cult padlock bag and its renewed meteoric rise, it's also prime time to snap up vintage styles.
We're in the midst of a nostalgia-fueled moment in fashion, and it's ushering in the rise of archival styles, so it makes sense that Chloé would bring back one of its most beloved handbags to mark its 20th anniversary. After its original release, it was carried by It girls of the aughts, including Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, and in 2025, it will be tucked under the arms of a new set of insiders. The allure of the Paddington is only set to rise, so I researched the best vintage styles on the market for those who want to add the cult style back into their closets immediately. Ahead, shop the original Chloé Paddington bag before it takes off as one of the biggest designer investment bags of 2025.
