The Paddington
One of the iconic It bags of the aughts, the Paddington, designed by Philo, was as rare as it was coveted. As Sarah Mower reported in a 2009 Vogue story, “Every one of the 8,000 made in spring 2005 was spoken for before it reached the stores.” And they didn’t come with a care note like the beloved Paddington bear, but a price tag of about $1,400.
Made of leather, the Paddington had the north/south orientation that was popular then, with softly rounded edges, giving it what has been described as “a luggage feel.” There were buckles on either end, and its crowning glory was a leather-wrapped padlock, the key for which was suspended from a narrow tie attached to the hardware holding one of the two top handles. Many women liked to carry the bag on their shoulder because the Paddington, worth its weight in gold, had heft. It also had clout; its scarcity made it an insider and celebrity favorite, which only fueled the fires of fans’ desire.
