Got it in the black and gold-look so rich I couldn’t say no!
Coach Clarkson Hobo

I ordered it in the black and gold too. I can't wait to get it. I also ordered one in beechwood too. I really want to keep the black. I'm so torn because I have 5 black bags and no other colors. I hope I can keep both of them.
Well I carried my Clarkson around all weekend and only on Sunday did I really start to feel it. I think as long as I don't do any marathon outings, I'll be ok. I usually carry a mini bag or nylon bag because my shoulders are so messed up, so anything over half a pound is heavy for me. I only carry my small wallet, keys, lipstick, and Samsung Galaxy 8+, so not a lot of stuff. The bag is so pretty, I got it in the washed red, I'm going to keep it and power through!
I had the opportunity to try on the Clarkson Hobo. She weighs 1.6 pounds empty.
This is a great bag. I think she will become a classic. She is a good size. The shoulder strap drop is perfect for me; not loose and not tight. The cross body strap is an excellent length.
I m 5'2 1/2" and 109 lbs. I have a rotator cuff issue, arthritis and osteoporosis. This bag is very manageable for me to carry even with a full size wallet, wristlet, cosmetic case and large cell phone inside.
The Beechwood is gorgeous but I need a bag for all seasons. I'm keeping the black. The front panel drapes beautifully.
I am sure this will be my go to, every day bag.

I also bought the red. The red with gunmetal hardware looks so cool. This bag is perfect with both the handle and a crossbody strap. I cannot wait to carry it. May have to go run an errand just for fun. Lol
To any that own a Clarkson or have even played with one and tried it on in store. How would you describe the leather? I just received the Cadet color and the leather on mine feels very plastic-y, not what I expect from Coach. I admit I may be spoiled by the 1941 pebbled leather so maybe I just need to be brought back down to earth [emoji23] I’d love to know others thoughts on the leather of this bag. 
Thanks for the input! Compared to some of my MFF bags this Clarkson feels worse [emoji23] Sad as the color and structure are great!
Sadly I around the leather on the clarkson and Charlie very poor like some kind of pleather such a shame not for me
I don’t mind it on the Charlie because a stiffer leather will help keep it structured but it just didn’t drape or bend nicely on the Clarkson.
It's interesting you noticed it on the Clarkson too, I recently ordered a camera bag in the new color blossom because it looked so nice in the picture, but I had the same experience with the leather-it feels like plastic, I have several of these camera bags in different colors from previous years, and the leather feels so much smoother....
Also, my most recent market tote felt much more plastic-y than my other one....
I wonder if Coach started using a different leather supplier lately....
