Oh ladies, I've found it. THE bag, the one I'd wear all the time, use all the time, because it's gorgeous and versatile and matches everything else. Enter, the Chloé Paddington.
It's aged leather, with plenty of details (ID tag, padlock, buckles, key), just the right size, and the perfect slouchy shape that vacillates between all the extremes of my style with ease—adds a bit of the casual to a prim, ladylike outfit, and of course fits in perfectly with bohemian clothes. Usually I don't like fussy details when it comes to bags (I tend to prefer classic), but the Paddington has a certain fitness to it; it has balance. It comes in a variety of pretty colors, but I like the tan. It looks good against a black winter coat, and won't clash with my brown leather jacket the way the darker brown Paddington would. It's just the right size, too.
The bag is $1380, an investment, for sure, but it'd serve one well. It's also something of a cult bag, which tends to bother me, but I fell in love with it before I was ever aware of its "It" bag status, so there's no help for it. I was contemplating a tan Hermès Birkin prior to the advent of the Paddington, but this is much better. It's special, but versatile enough to become a basic for years to come.
