I'm desperate to find a real leather, Chloe Paddington style bag - the bag with the large padlock fastening at the top. I saw one recently in Dune for £35 in the sale, but unfortunately it sold out within hours on the website and my local stores don't think they'll get any more in. I've looked in the obvious places: ASOS, Ravel, Faith, Topshop...can anybody suggest anywhere else?I've tried Ebay, but I don't really want to spend more than £35ish and P&P brings the cost up to nearer £60 for a real leather bag.
If anybody has seen a bag like this in brown, tan, beige, ivory or black, then pleeeease could you let me know where you saw it, and how much it is.
that's the one i meant, the picture really doesn't do it any justice! it looks horrible but is much nicer in real life. apaprantly it was originally about £135 or £140.

Hehe I'd only just found that when you replied... Many thanks (+rep)
Anybody seen any others? Was hoping for another colour, but Jen, that was still hugely helpful! X
I know of several websites that do replicas of designer handbags but are a bit more than what you want to spend but voguebags.com has one for £78 which is a replica instead of style like the chole paddington bag
www.voguebags.com - which has a replica chloe paddington in lots of different colours for 149 usa dollars which is about £78, and there really good replicas because they basically buy the real bag and then just copy exactly it so you will get replicas tags, and stroage bags etc
Also www.aaareplicas.com who have a replica chole paddington for 300 usa dollars which is £157 but they don't have as many colours to chose from.
Also lushfashions.com do styled bags of designer ones if you go to handbags and then then - padlock collection, range there are lots of bags similar to the chloe paddington bag but these ones are in the style of the chloe paddington bag and not replicas these ones range in prices because there are all different ones to chose from etc.
Also www.profitcome.com - have some replicas chloe paddington bags for a range of different prices but a bit more than you wanted to spend.
i think www.voguebags.com is the cheapest of all of them, i don't know if this helps you.
I got an almost identical one in a kind of tan colour with gold lining and a padlock from Guess in America about 2 weeks ago. However I don't know if they have Guess stores over here, if they do, have a look!
River Island had some tan leather bags in a similar style for around £40. Also, if your local shopping centres have those bag stalls, they often have loads of leather bags in loads of colours. Barratts also have some nice bags in, in green, red, or white, or black, but they're more like the Birkin that the Paddington - still nice though. x
Oooh wow - thank you everybody. Have dished out rep for the great replies above...
Actually decided to order one from Dune - for £32 I'm getting a brown leather Chloe copy that I've picked up and tried on in the shop (albeit months ago...), rather than a plastic one from Ebay that I haven't had a proper look at. Think they're sold out on the site in Black, and they're still full price in Ivory, at £65.
Bit miffed that the cheapest delivery is £6 (supposedly next day...) but ah well... Anybody ever ordered from Dune's website before, and is available to comment on delivery?
I ordered a pair of heels from Dune last autumn online. The delivery was about £5-6 then too, but from what I remember, I ordered on a Wednesday evening and they were with me first thing on the Friday morning, which is fair enough because my order was in late wednesday. I'm sure it'll be lovely!
i heard that as the paddington has suddenly gone out of high fashion (something to do with alex currin and the fact it's too heavy for most of the twigs to carry) that 2nd hand designer stores are being flooded with them! i might have to go buy one next payday
