Hey Serenitytoo, yes the pebbled leather is slightly heavier, and that the leather is not as stiff as the grey tan leather version that I have. Still, it was the first one I saw and fell in love with, and I was determined to get one. Now that I have it makes my day, happy girl now 😊💁👜

A friend brought it over for me as she was visiting Hong Kong so no problems with shipping 😄

Ugh I need such a friend! Yes I have a to nod black bags but I have always loved this one. It's the perfect bag and I don't at all mind the slouch invests to it because the bag is so structured that it evens it out a bit. It's, bit more noticeable in the large one but in the medium it's perfect. So glad you found the perfect bags. I'm still in a struggle to find the perfect bag for me that looks like the Borough in styling. I do have the mini in bar stripe which I love.. Tried the bearskin in navy/ white bit it just smelled too much. Then I tried the Soft Borough in earth but it was just too plain - rhodium hardware, neutral color, handles are kind of in the way so it didn't work. Loved the insides as opposed to three zips as much as I love zippers. So now I don't really know what to do. It's the perfect time price wise but I really want one that will work. Now looking at the Studio Tote as that's close in size. I posted pics but just not sure white is too seasonal or not. Such a plight. Maybe I will check out the loganberry in the soft Borough if I can even find one.
 
As you may remember, last time I posted a photo of my first Coach bag (the one with my bra shown by mistake in the pic :p), which is a Borough bag in grey tan leather.

I love it so much that I got myself the original one, which is black in pebbled leather. This has always been my first love, but sadly they were all sold out in Hong Kong so I had to get one from the U.S.

Here are the photos of them next to each other :heart: They are just soooooooooooooooooooooo adorable!!

Congrats !!! Love love love , I have both warm gray and pebbled black in large sizes , love them so much , enjoy your "B" :))
 
Thanks again to joni80 for posting about the bloomingdales sale!! got my vermillion borough at almost 50% off and have a sea mist prestion on the way. Absolutely loooooove this color!

I also got the steffi heels from the FOS - don't worry this isn't a real outfit, I just wanted to try them on to see if they will work for a wedding next month and to show how the color compares to the vermillion. Can't wait to use this borough... there's just something about red and gold next to blues and neutrals that I love!

FYI guys I learned today that after the pre-sale ends the boroughs that were marked down go back to full price.

The boroughs I saw that are part of the pre-sale are the red in retro glove, washed chambray, white edge paint, the white and orange, the mini bar stripe, the white/black stripe, the grey/white mini and I don't remember if the white/navy boarskin was also included. I think the brown edge paints might also be included but I don't recall my store having any of those out for display.

If you didn't get an invitation I don't know how that will work so hopefully you know some friendly SAs that will hook you up!

The Coach.com/presale webpage is up, so you can see the list of things offered; and yes, the brown edgepaint borough is included in the promotion.

Congrats. The bag looks gorgeous on you. You made me feel regret for not getting the vermillion B, and it is now more expensive with Coach private sale.
 
Hello everyone, I am in a little bit of a pickle. I really want to buy 3 boroughs in the small med and large, all in the black pebbled leather. But I don't want to pay full price for them and then have them go on sale and end up pissed off that I spent more on something that everyone else got for much cheaper.

I haven't purchased purses from coach because of this frustration game when it comes to their prices. But I REALLY want these boroughs. I did some research on this forum and found out that coach is restructuring their brand and there may be a possibility that these boroughs don't end up in the outlets. But I also know a woman who works in the outlets and she said she has no doubt that boroughs will eventually end up in there.

Also, I have the coupon for a presale going on now, but I just don't like any other colours except for the all black. I have no problem paying for a product that I love, but not if I know it will be half the price in a year or so. Sometimes I buy bags and I am not ready to use it so I keep it in my closet for months, so you can see my issue with this.

Ps I also want two urbane bags in black. And I know the big urbane is in the outlet at 50% off. So I might just get that. But I would prefer to buy the boroughs first. I love them more. Whattt should I do ladies? What's the best price the black boroughs have ever been sold at?

Hi, I don't own any Boroughs yet, but would soon like to get one. Unfortunately, the colors that I would like to buy are not included in the pre-sale. :(. The Boroughs they do have are now at 40% off. If I were you and really wanted this bag, I would buy one at the pre-sale.
You can always return it later if a better deal comes along. You can't rely on the Outlets though. FYI, sadly all black Boroughs are NOT included in this pre-sale. Good luck!
