I am back ordered (have been for 2 months) for the teal bulga and the smooth leather kooba frankie:
I am sick of waiting. and waiting. and waiting. I am thinking of cancelling my order and putting the $$ toward this instead (Chloe Paddington in khaki - a super dark forest green)
any other input to help me make the best decision is appreciated! TIA!

I feel like the Paddington will be more versatile in the long run. That is an incredible looking bag and I'm sure it's REALLY well made, so it will last forever and because the details are a little more subtle than the Bulga, it will look great for years. The Bulga is gorgeous too, but style-wise, I think the Paddington will stand up to the test of time and the Bulga won't.
more ugh!!! went to order the paddington, and in the description it didn't say anything about pre-order, but in the shopping cart it says "pre-order delivery by 10/17" UGH! what to do... what to do...

pre-order. first, it's the only way you'll get the bag and second, this bag is worth the wait.
honestly i have the bulga and use it all the time but it's not going to be signature piece of my wardrobe for years to come. what's a few weeks? and a lot of times the shipments come early.
also do you think that the paddington is too heavy? i was just wondering what your thoughts were on that lock.
I am with dot. Get the paddington. a) it looks very "you." and b) I am already sort of sick of looking at my bulga and agree with dot about the "signature piece" aspect. The paddington is more timeless.

Pretty sure I'm in love with the Paddington, especially the red one. Looooord, it's gorgeous! So yeh, it gets my vote! It will definitely be worth the wait. Btw, did you see the lizard satchel? Breathtaking!

excellent points about getting sick of the bulga and the weight of the bag... I think a trip to neiman's is in order to see if they have one in stock - this way I can try it on... I am also wondering about the usability of the bag with the huge ass padlock (I like how it looks, but is it going to be a logistical nightmare to get to my lipgloss?) Also, I kind of like the shorter handles too...

I agree with everyone else wholeheartedly--definitely get the Paddington. It's a lot less trendy and just as cool. It's definitely timeless, as someone above stated. I love it. Let us know how you like it if you try it on at Neimans.
