Does anyone have feedback on the full size glovetanned duffle? I love the Hunter Green but I really love the smoosh of the pebbled leather. None of the current colors of pebbled work for me though. I have lots of glovetanned and I know it wears beautifully but this bag seems to call for the pebbled. I'd love any feedback on wear of the glovetanned!
TIA

I think I prefer the pebbled because of the smooshy and because it hides flaws better. I have the full size pebbled, but only the 20 in smooth. Here is 20 pebbled vs 20 smooth. Smooth has an amazing feel to the leather and can get slouchy, just not like the pebbled.

Completely agree. While the smooth leather used on this latest round of originals is buttery to the touch, I personally prefer the pebbled. I'm easy with my bags but I don't like to have to think about it. I purchased one of the Willis bags & find myself checking for scuffs if I even brush up against something unexpectedly. The 1941 pebbled leather (most of it) is so smooshy I find myself touching my bag all the time. It's pretty care free & luxe.

I have the pebbled in oxblood and am waiting on my saddle smooth duffle. I think the smooth in saddle will look great as it breaks in and gets distressed. Not sure I’d feel the same way about any other colour...I have no intention of babying it at all.

I am way late to the duffle game and am now searching for the duffle 20 in pebbled leather. Cannot find them on any of the resale sites and tried doing a found order. I looked at the glovetanned version, but while pretty, I am looking for the soft smooshiness and puddle/drape appearance of the pebbled variety. It stinks. I will just have to continue scouring the resale markets for one.

I have both, the glove-tanned drapes better than you'd think. This is the larger size though, tags still on...where are you? I can check the Vancouver stores for you here in Canada, I think they'll ship to the US.

Talked to Coach and was told they never had the 20 in pebbled leather. He's checking it out for me. But I found a duffle 20 in pebbled that was sold in the UK 7 months ago when I googled so they must have been made somewhere.

I've seen them on the Coach US site, but they came and went. Thank you for checking for me. I'll wait a bit for the glove tanned, because the current colors are not really appealing to me. I know if I'm a bit patient one will eventually appear.

My SA said he'd see what he could find out so I'll get back to you if there's any success!

Thanks for everyone's feedback! I have my heart set on a pebbled duffle but the colors aren't doing it for me right now. I really want green, orange, red, or a blue. I have lots of Saddle colored bags and almost all my Coach's are glovetanned. The drape of the glovetanned is amazing! Thanks to @muchstuff for the pics - they're really selling this bag. I do love the orange glovetanned currently available. I'm really torn if I should hold out for pebbled in another color down the road or go for the glovetanned in orange (my favorite color) or green. I've always loved green Coach bags and don't have one. 1st world problems and all...

ETA: does anyone have an idea of when the glovetanned duffel might go on sale?

I know one of the Vancouver stores has the large pebbled duffle in their back room but I don't know what colours. I bought the oxblood from them and when I called today they said they still had some (they had black and saddle as well when I bought mine). IMO the saddle isn't very nice in the pebbled, the colour looks like a very unnatural brown to me, kind of painted on. I was told it would patina out but I don't have that kind of patience:lol:. Just my opinion, others might love it.
