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.

I’m hoping they release more colors in the larger size [emoji1]

I am not sure why they have such limited colors. When the person at the store saw me looking at a Parker 18, she brought out the top handle bags they had in the back. I am glad she did because I didn't realize they had fixed one of the things I hated which was the center compartment is gone. Plus the flap seems more manageable, and of course I like the top handle since I satchel/hand carry a lot. But anyway in the regular size they only had oxblood and black so I wasn't remotely tempted. Neither color did much for me. But then I went online and found the sig combos, and I like those (mainly because I have been thinking about a bag with some sig on it).

I think they will have a lot more colors in both sizes a little later this year. The regular Parker gained a lot of color choices over time.

I think they will too! The Parker and Charlie seem to be pretty popular and I like them both so I’m glad for all the choices! I’d love a rich brown with brass on the larger size Parker top handle [emoji7]

Saw the black Harmony today. The small one is quite large, lots of suede (rains a lot where I live so not good, although the color block one is not suede) and looks very square. Maybe it needs some weight to make it more slouchy. Thank you, next.

Thanks for these pics! It has made me decide the pink bag is too young for me. And as a shoulder bag those straps looks like a big ole mess at the bottom? It is a cute bag for a younger person though.

You're supposed to put the straps inside when worn cross body. I didn't put them away taking these photos. It's pretty pink color. My boyish girl is just not into this pink.

I have the bigger one and I wear as a shoulder bag all of the time. I don’t have that strap issue.

I hate those tiny, thin little straps! This color is really pretty!
Forcing you to buy another bag strap! Not sure how that will look on these bags, though.....but maybe someone can pull it off. I'd have to see it. I don't use many bag straps, myself, but like how people have paired them. IMO, they look great when resting with the bag but not so sure when they are being carried. To me, it has to be the right attachment set up like maybe a dinky.
 
I sold mine! I can't stand that color. I'd love a rich brown, but all we've had is oxblood and saddle for a long time. I'm not that excited about the colors Vevers does. Too repetitive.
Yes, Coach needs a rich mahogany brown like they used to do! There is a thread on the forum about brown bags and it is fun to look at them. I tend toward more color when purchasing bags and would say black/brown are the least in my collection.

I haven't read through this whole thread yet but I'm wondering...will they release any new pieces (in the U.S.) for spring in tattoo (Chelsea Champlain)? I didn't discover the collection until too late and now most of the pieces I wanted are gone. I even e-mailed Coach yesterday about one piece in particular and they indicated that it was "sold out".
I doubt there will be more Chelsea Champlain items. They tend to do a collaboration once and be done. Best bet is the resale sites after that, IMO.
 
I don't know because I only looked today. I didn't have much interest in the bag until I saw it today and it appears to have some improvements from the first version of the Parker, but Coach doesn't have any good colors. I was wondering the same thing--the fact that it is sold out but hardly released made me wonder.
Maybe one of their stores has it in stock but not online. Or maybe Saks is one of those stores that includes their store inventory in their online numbers? I don't know but worth a phone call or see if your local Saks SA can investigate for you. Sometimes you get the canned answer from CS and other times they go above and beyond. Always worth calling back a few times to see if you get someone who goes the extra for you!
