The coach Parker

I like to give my SA at Coach the business, but I had just gotten stuff with the PCE and also Coach Herald Square 50% off clearance items, so a full price Parker wasn't in the cards. But then with that BonTon deal I struck while the iron was hot. I was thinking that this is a bag that probably won't be more than 30% off anyway from Coach, if the basic colors ever do make it to sale to begin with.

Congrats on the Parker deal! Will you post a pic when you get it? Lol I love this bag and I like seeing pics they make me happy haha

I hadn't really bought Coach in over 8 years, there was a men's travel duffel a few years ago, but mostly I have been using other brands, and reaching into my mum's and aunt's vintage Coach.
I just fell back down the rabbit hole with the Rogue, I liked the Parker but after just buying a Rogue and knowing I needed a tote, and something small to travel with, the Parker was not at the top of my list.

I will! Just got the shipping notice for it, hopefully it gets here by the end of the week. BTW, all models of the Parker except the signature one are showing low inventory on Bon Ton so if you were thinking about it, you should probably make a move now...

It is such a good deal on Bon Ton! I’m ashamed to say I bought 2 bags from the Coach outlet online sale today haha If it wouldn’t have been for those I probably would have haha Excited to see yours!

I haven’t found any info on whether a full size iPad fits in the Parker. Hopefully someone will post a pic with one in there if it fits by the time I’m in the market for one. It would make such a great small size (well for me small size haha) bag for work!
 
I don't think a full size iPad is going to fit in it, but an iPad mini or other tablet that size will I think. That was an attractive thing to me as I have an 8-ish in tablet.
Good to know thanks! I haven’t bought a new iPad in forever so my next one may be the mini to fit more of my smaller bags :)
 
Beautiful bags - congratulations!
I'm looking at the same two at my Macy's. I'd really like the black - it has an old classic feel to me with the brass hardware. My only reluctance is, the leather on the 2 black ones my store has is much thinner. Extremely noticeable- especially the flap.
When you feel yours side by side, do you notice a difference- or did my store just get a bad batch?

My heather grey parker arrived today from Macy's and I immediately notice the quality difference between the grey and black. So much that I would have not purchased the black if I handled both together in the store. I think the grey has a sturdier flap and the leather appears to be treated to help resist scratching. Unfortunately I haven't worn my black parker since the first night I took it out and the front flap scratched.
 
I'm thinking about buying Coach Parker in signature canvas with the tea rose turnlock from Farfetch, see picture. A bit confused though over the 75% pvc? I thought it was leather. Anyone that can help me? No coach stores where I live...

Did the scratch go through the leather or is it still black? Can it be hidden with conditioner? I'm concerned about the chipping of the dark hardware on the grey. Otherwise I'd consider that one.
 
My Parker arrived today! It came late and I had to leave her at the office till tomorrow, but I took a couple of quick shots before I left, she is lovely and light. Edit: The white bits around the chain openings are packing popcorn bits that floated on, didn't notice it before. View attachment 4017103View attachment 4017104

I'm debating between this one or the all black quilted one. Both are lovely and classic!
