Q: What fits inside this Chloé Paddington Clutch Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 21 x 15 x 1.5 cm, this clutch is best suited to slim daily or evening essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, cash, and a few small beauty items. Its slim depth means it is not designed for bulkier items.
Q: Is the padlock decorative, or can it actually be used? A: On Paddington styles, the oversized padlock is both a signature design feature and a functional hardware element. Many owners use it mainly as a decorative detail, while others choose to engage the lock depending on how they carry and store the bag.
Q: Is the Paddington known for being a heavier style? A: Yes. The Paddington is widely known for its chunky hardware and iconic oversized padlock, which give it its distinctive look. On a clutch format the effect is smaller than on larger Paddington bags, but the hardware still adds noticeable character and structure.
