About the Paddington Medium
Designed by Phoebe Philo and launched in 2005, the Paddington's first production run reportedly sold out before reaching stores, making it a defining 'it bag' of the mid-2000s. Chloé revived it for Fall/Winter 2025 under creative director Chemena Kamali.
What affects this bag's resale value
- An extreme built-in scarcity narrative from the original 2004-2005 run has driven strong nostalgia demand
- Original-run bags have proven structurally durable, standing up well to over a decade of wear
- The 2025 official relaunch reignited search and resale demand rather than cannibalizing it, pulling secondhand prices up alongside the new release
