I saw the smaller Harmony today in store and it is gorgeous! It's size is a little too big for me but if I was looking for a hobo it would definitely be the one. The strap drop seemed to be comparable to that of the Edie, the front and back were smooth glove tanned leather and the sides are suede. I think what made it too big for me was that it is wide from the side, making it pretty thick so when you carry it it sticks out kind of bulky. But I didn't think to try it without the pillow they had stuffed in it, maybe if I would have tried it without the pillow it might have been less bulky.
Thanks! Hoping to check it out tomorrow. The width concerns me given the specs online. Did you happen to notice if the center compartment connects at bottom of the bag or loose (like the Bandit, although I know that was removable)?

The center compartment seemed to me to be just like the Rogue and the Edie center compartment where it has a wide, flat bottom. Although I didn't notice if it connects, I'm assuming it does since it's like the other two bags.

Was it at Chandler or San Tan? And did they have the Beechwood color in stock too?

No, it was actually at Scottsdale Fashion Square. I got a few tea roses on my oxblood Rogue 25 [emoji1]

But I'm pretty sure they did have all the colors in stock there at the Scottsdale store that they have online. The beechwood was really pretty and the blue was also gorgeous.

Well, my wallet is safe and I have a great appreciation for the purchases that I was able to make during the year-end sale. I went to my local store, which is a larger store, and saw many of the new items. I mainly went in thinking I'd have to have to resist purchasing the smaller Harmony bag. I saw it, its larger sister, as well as most of the newer bags. I came out empty-handed and unimpressed. I was most interested in the Harmony and I just felt like it's beautiful in photos but not in person. It is just my opinion, but it felt less luxe than I had expected it to.
I also got a chance to getting up close look at the new Willis. I liked it more than I thought but was disappointed to see the canvas interior. I'm not saying I wouldn't purchase it, but I would not purchase it at full price.
I also saw the Rogue 25 in dark olive with rivets and did not care for it at all.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
 
As an FYI that last Parker top handle in the pics above is the color tan/black. Coach has them in the warehouse but not online so you have to call to order. Only the tan/beechwood sig is online.
 
You know, I really want to like the Parker top handle. I just can’t get past the size/prominence of the turnlock hardware. If it was subtler (like maybe gunmetal on black, or gold on tan), it wouldn’t bug me as much. I really like the look of the Parker 32, but the snakeskin detail doesn’t do anything for me either. It could work for me if I removed the long strap and wrapped the handle with a scarf I really liked... Hopefully they’ll come out with some more colors soon.

In the meantime, the Cooper shoulder bag is still on my wishlist. The nude color is really pretty in person.
