another borough question! will they be rolling out the soft boroughs (without the zippers) this fall/winter? would love a large in black :)

I saw these today at The Bay downtown Vancouver. I have been busy so not sure when they arrived. The med soft also comes in a soft lychee pink colour - similar to the pebbled classic called loganberry, I think? Maybe they're both called Loganberry - I didn't check the tag.

But I digress :)

The large black would "solve" my "problem". I have the small pebbled borough in several colours including black (which has gotten the most use). But I always wanted a large in black because Lea Michele looks SO good wearing hers casually but everytime I try the large pebbled in store, it "just" looks like a briefcase on me - doesn't look casual at all?

So this large soft black borough is probably the answer...sorry for rambling!

Coach website doesn't show all the new Borough bags yet. I saw the new colorblock in med & mini and I'm pretty sure it's got all the zippers - not the soft version. It's a grey/raisin colorblock. Luckily, I don't want it so I'm safe there :)

Since the stores are putting out their floorset this Friday, my guess is the website will be updated by tomorrow morning. Looking forward to seeing the new items!

Oh, so I'm not late to the party LOL?

The Hudson's Bay website has been updated already with new stock but I noticed that the Coach prices have "finally" gone up in Canada! For the longest time, it was the same price in Canadian dollars as USD which meant Coach was less expensive up here because historically our dollar is always lower than the US dollar...not encouraging for me. There are so many other brands that I love too.

I enjoyed seeing the new Boroughs today that I believe start selling on Friday. Love the new direction and there wasn't anything to say but very nice. My favorite was the one with the grommets and the black with the leather/suede combination. However, I liked them all.

I am contemplating purchasing the warm retro grey glove leather Borough from Macys (as they have it on sale). My question to those who own this bag-is the leather durable?
Is the shoulder strap an issue?
And to those that have purchased Coach from Macys-Does Macys supply a dust bag? and pack the bag well? (I ordered a wallet from them a few years ago and it arrived in an unpadded envelope -just thrown it :nogood:
I was trying to talk myself out of a Borough since the Fall when they came out -just saw a woman in Starbucks with the warm grey borough and have coveted it since!

I have the grey and I absolutely love it. In addition, I paid full price and am not in the least regretful because I have enjoyed carrying it as much or more than my much more expensive bags. Coach includes a dust bag with every bag they make with exception of the large business/travel bags.

I am so happy I got this bag and hope that Macys includes the dust bag too.

Does anyone know how to repair cat scratches on a borough bag,I just got my red vermillion a few weeks ago,I only carried it one time,my husband didn't realize our car was trapped in the closet,even though the bag was in its dust bag my cat tore the heck out of it,I guess it's the leather smell that attracted him,I've attached pics of the damage. I am beyond frustrated:((

How big is the one with the grommets? Is it a regular size or a late size? Would love to see this one in store before buying.

Ugh, I'm so sorry about this! Perhaps (if you haven't already) post in the rehab thread? They have lots of knowledge in there and maybe someone can help! (In the clubhouse).

It is regular size and it is so nice. Inside the grommets appears to be a deep navy ribbon or tape and there is the tiny Coach stamped on the outside along with New York in a light purple or blue. Also, the leather is very nice and there are no zippers. I loved the feel of the leather it is a soft feel but not saggy. Inside, it has a closed zippered compartment and closes with magnets. Of course it has the pockets and all of that. The strap is long and can be adjusted. In my opinion, a truly beautiful bag. To put it in perspective I own Balenciaga, Mulberry, Tod's, Bottega Venata, Marc Jacobs, Gucci and so on, too many really. I like this just as well as those.
