Hi,
Quick question, how do you know if the buckle can be switched on a Tabby? I got my first one last week and have no idea.
Thanks!

The screws on the back of all should be able to be unscrewed, but some of the tabby have extra thick edging or details on the tongue part so the buckle can't slip past. If yours doesn't have any embellishments then you should be ok. The velvet one has that extra edging so I couldn't get the replacement buckle over it even though the original one came off... if that makes sense.
I'm also told they have certain sku numbers so CS might have a list and if you go to coach.com under create you can see the current tabby that have swappable buckles.
Thanks for the info. The one I got is the shoulder bag in black, so hopefully it will be fine.
Do you know if it's possible to see the available buckles online?
I'm not sure, but you can call a store and have it shipped...and probably see them on the coach create online. I'm also not sure if it works on other tabby besides the 26. I know the holes on the tabby top handle don't line up, but I haven't tried the shoulder bag.
Here's a picture of what my SA's store has. Other stores have the pave ombre one, which is my favorite so far.
Wow I had no idea we could do this! Thanks.
Nordstrom has some new tabby 26 and they have pewter hardware! So happy. The honeycomb and the black rivets are definitely on my wishlist. Now to wait for a sale.
Oddly when I texted my SA she said they're probably department store exclusives. I miss my other SA who would show me what's coming and find things I'd like.
I'm probably going to order the black one
The nice thing about department stores is that there is a higher likelihood they'll go on sale.Oddly when I texted my SA she said they're probably department store exclusives. I miss my other SA who would show me what's coming and find things I'd like.

I'm hoping the Cashin totes show up somewhere, though I doubt it.
I had this one last year, of cause it only came out in winter, haha
Has anyone noticed the price increase on tabby 26? It went up $50 all around. The plain to $395 and the embellished or detailed buckle ones to $450. Is that to afford J Lo? I am noticing some department stores haven't marked them all up. Some still have the beaded border one at $395 and some of last seasons at $350.
I had heard that was happening from an SA...not sure of reasoning.
I noticed that too. For me the extra 50 prevents me from making an impulse purchase. Once I hit 400 I have to think about how much use I'm going to get out of it. And given that I have 3 tabbys it would have to be a cool design to get me to buy another at an increased price.
