Iamminda, I had no idea about this PF Roundup!! Thx so much for alerting me -- I just found it. Sheesh, if I had known about all this "exposure" I would have tried a bit harder for better pics! That is such a cool feature -- will regularly be monitoring it, moving forward.

Congrats to the other Coachies too! :tup:

Thx again!

You are welcome. Your pictures are just fine -- showcasing this beauty! I don't know how to access the roundup thread within TPF (I even asked Vlad in the help section who said they are working on making access to it easier). We used to get email alert to it along with other stuff but not anymore. Anyways, congrats again on this cool recognition and enjoy your bag.

Okay, so here's how I accessed it -- I took your suggestion to Google PF Roundup and I picked the most recent date I saw, which was June 30th. Once I clicked on that and the 6/30 Roundup popped up, I just clicked on the yellowish rectangular button right under the first picture and that'll bring up all recent ones in descending order by week. Looks like it's updated weekly, on Fridays. Since it can't be accessed from within TPF, probably everyone uses a similar method.

I had read some of those Roundups in the past but just randomly, and unaware that it's on a schedule.

Congrats KEW on your bag making it on the July 14 PurseForum Roundup!!! (Not sure if you know or not. I don't know how to link it on my current device. I think if you google "PurseForum Roundup", look for July 14 (or most recent entry). @Teagaggle also made it too with her beautiful bandit hobo. And one other Coachie too.

OMG, I had no idea. Will search for it! Thank you...now I feel bad that the Bandit didn't work for me :-(

Finally here are pics of my new KH Tote. I'm apologizing for the mediocre quality -- between the nightime track lighting and my sh*tty iPad camera, they're a bit grainy. I can't afford a new iPad if I continue on this Coach binge that I've been on all year! (I know, I know -- who hasn't??).

Anyway, I just wanted to share a few basic views of the tote ($495).

I LOVE it so far! The Black exterior leather is glovetanned, but not actually smooth, The black interior is like a brushed, unlined leather, almost suede-like. The tote is basically a large empty bucket -- the only pocket is the sewn-in zippered pouch which is made from a heavy cotton fabric. It has the Keith Haring identifier creed sewn on it.

Also, the closure is a dogleash style clasp, and the two leather handles are sewn on and are not adjustable, but are made for shoulder carrying -- or hand carried, obviously NOT crossbody size. If you're worried about pickpockets, this Tote is not for you.

I tried to take closeups of the textures of the interior, exterior, and the zippered pocket. The Keith Haring piece on the front is yellowish and molded into the leather, but it's raised a bit. (Forgot what that is called). Since the entire bag's interior is black, I placed some of the white paper stuffing under the zippered pouch for contrast, or it would have blended in and been harder to see. I also placed one thin layer of paper stuffing along the interior bottom base, so that you can get an idea of how roomy the bag is. I believe it could even fit a laptop, but the handles may be too flimsy to comfortably carry heavier items.

Overall, this Tote is very lightweight (no real hardware, thin leather handles, and no structured reinforcement). If you're familiar with the Rogue Tote, this is basically the same thing.

And for scale, I put the medium Felix Rogue right next to it -- its closer to a Rogue 36 in size. The dimensions are on a previous thread on here but I forget which one. I'll post the specs tomorrow, if anyone is curious. And of course my closeup of the purchase tag gives ordering info., which only an SA can do, at this point. My SA said JAX hasn't given a release date for any KH items.

I tried to google the title of that particular KH design on the front, but couldn't find it amongst his hundreds of other works, but I'm curious and will continue searching for it. If anyone should know, please LMK.

Here are the pics with closeups -- the first set are the EXTERIORS.

I love this. I sent to my Coach store and was able to secure the same tote and also a card holder. However I want to know how everyone feels with the fact that this MAIN collection of Coach x Keith Haring was so secret that not even their store associates knew about it. However they are currently blasting all over Instagram the OUTLET COLLECTION!
I'm honestly torn with the fact that most people would think that mine is fake cause no one ever heard of it.
