I had a long chat with one of my boutique SAs today about the small Parker leather hippies, I wanted to find out what colors are still available and what new colors are coming out. He showed current colors at JAX as pink pearl, white, and cinnamon. Technically he also saw Sky listed, but said it only showed 3 so "there's no way I can get one of those."
Then he checked on new colors coming, and it showed two - one called "Pearl" with silver hardware, and the other called "Bronze" with rosegold hardware. There was no description of the Pearl and no pics, it sounds like it might be some kind of pearlized white, but who knows as they already have white - the color code was SV/S4 (SV for the silver hardware, S4 for the Pearl color). Neither is available to order yet.
Bronze is the color that got me excited. He showed me the leather trim on some Parker Op Art bags that had the same color code, and said that's the Bronze leather. I think it looks somewhat similar to the mushroom, but warmer and more brown, less gray, and I love that it will come with rosegold hardware. I attached a pic from Coach's website of the Bronze-trimmed Op Art hippie. I missed out on the mushroom, but I'm definitely getting Bronze, my SA promised to let me know as soon as it's available.
I posted this in another thread, but I also asked about the large Parker leather hippies yesterday, and they showed the mahogany and graphite are available for order, but I've not seen any pics yet.
My SA also said the boutiques are deleting the Parkers soon to make room for the Tribeca. And on a completely unrelated note, he said only the "Asian tourist" Coach boutiques will get ANY of the Clover bags
