The Story

The noughties It bag whose giant padlock helped invent statement hardware.

Origin

A 2005 phenomenon

Phoebe Philo designed the Paddington for Chloé's Spring/Summer 2005 collection. Demand was such that all 8,000 of the first run were spoken for before they reached store shelves.

Design

A padlock you could barely lift

Its signature is an oversized leather-wrapped padlock weighing close to half a kilogram, a literal nod to a bag's job of safekeeping, hung on slouchy, worn-in leather.

Culture

It helped invent handbag hardware

By loading a bag with industrial-sized metal, Philo helped kick off the statement-hardware trend. The Paddington was everywhere on mid-2000s It girls, from Kate Bosworth to Mischa Barton.
