The iconic handbag appeared again on the runway during Chemena Kamali's autumn and winter 2025 collection and will be officially reissued later this year. Meanwhile, attentive shoppers can already sign up for the waitlist for the new versions of the Paddington bags at Chloé.

After its initial launch, the bag was favored by style icons of the early 2000s, such as Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, and in 2025, it is set to be carried by a new wave of fashion insiders. The appeal of the Paddington is only expected to grow, so I've looked into the best vintage options available for those eager to incorporate this classic style into their wardrobe right away. Below, discover the original Chloé Paddington bag before it becomes one of the most sought-after designer investment pieces of 2025.
