Your new Coach: a mini-reveal thread!

[purplehippo]

Sorry, I wasn't sure if this thread is a good place to post...

What do y'all think of the quality of these, is this acceptable for the price?
---
I recently purchased a Coach Turnlock Clutch.

Bag #1 is uneven along the profile? The top line along the top handle, it's more slanted on the left, and more horizontal on the right. Stitching is.. well I think I can tell that it is machine made rather quickly because where it first turns, it gets smaller, than on the "home run" it's back to normal.

Bag #2: some of the stitching is pointy/rough/sharp. It also has a few ity-bity pits? an "enlarged pore"?

Both bags: There seems to be some sort of.. like the leather got pressed around the edges before it was sewn? Also. the trim pieces where the stitching is, is uneven. Thinner on one side, thicker boarder on the other.

Some wrinkles/texture in the leather seems normal.

But for a MSRP $395... I feel like I should expect better craftsmanship?

I'm a little disappointed that I can't really fit my switch in there nicely, but I can just barely fit in a sheet of paper..

I just went to the coach store without the Tate on my mind. Not a fan of brown at all but when I made eye contact with this lady it was over for me. I absolutely love the design and the peach color is gorgeous in person.

Congrats!!! As much as I love online shopping, seeing things in person makes such a difference, right? Enjoy her!

Yes absolutely!! It's such a hard color to capture and so much peachier than my pic. I originally went in just to feel the pillow tabby since it's gotten such attention. They sadly were all sold out. The SA said they couldn't even get a discount on them. Other stunners in person were the beat saddle bags and the tea rose knot Madison. Had my hubs not been there I may have had a few come home with me lol. Have a great day

My two Alie babies in ivory white and forest green.


It’s more butter yellow compared to the white on cassie.

The lining is in yellow leather.

The forest green has same color in and out.

However, the forest green Alie has glovetanned leather flap, pebbled leather front and back, and suede on the side.

Forest green is pretty dark, but it’s not that black.

Gorgeous! I really like this bag.

I had my long-awaited trip to the bigger outlet today and had wanted a white crossgrain or pebbled small bag for the summer look... and walked out with a white Dinky! My first white and I'm very nervous about maintenance. But it's gorgeous!!! Plus it was priced at cheaper than all my chosen white MFF alternatives so even though I'm becoming a one-trick-small-turnlock-crossbody-pony, come on! I had to! The store was doing a huge bundle deal and my sister and aunty bought bags and shoes so we got 30 per cent off the total.

Customer service was amazing too - noticed when admiring the bag after lunch that the bead chain was missing. Went back and the SAs promptly brought me a replacement and attached it for me then and there.

ETA: they gifted us a mug too!

Got my Tabby 26 with beadchain and Tabby 20 today!

I was so excited to get them but found scratches on the back of the 26 and some other imperfections, so I'm sending it back Bright side, I'm very happy with my 20!
