I have gunmetal hardware on my Nomad in Butterscotch and it has never been an issue with chipping. That bag I purchased I want to say Fall 2015? And my Rogue in Oxblood with rivets has black copper hardware and again no chipping.
That makes me relieved since I have several bags with dark gunmetal hardware. Some are fp and some mff. I'm hopeful they will hold up well! I wonder what went wrong with the hardware on the grey Parker.

And I just switched to my Rogue 25 in the Dark Turquoise with rivets, and it too has gunmetal hardware. I'm taking it on its maiden voyage tomorrow, but it should be fine as well- I'll report back!

I got my bag today, I'm so disappointed with how Bon-Ton packaged it. Just in a huge bag, no box so real padding. Fedex of course just threw it around, and stuffed it where ever, so it's creased where it was squished.
I would return, but I searched and they have HORRIBLE reviews.
So I'm going to give my mother the bag, and I'll just get the quilted black one.
 
I love the bag that anthrosphere posted a pic of. I've been eyeing that Parker since it appeared on Macy's site about a week ago. My only hesitation with it is that I'm not sure I can keep white leather white. I won't be happy if I get dye transfer on it....I have that Apple conditioner, which I've successfully used on other leather, so maybe I could protect with that?
In any case, I have the black quilted with the bright colors (love this bag so much), and I just ordered the snakeskin one from Bloomies. I don't like the Coach logo, but I do like it on this bag for some reason. This sounds like a lot, but I rarely buy bags!
 
Also, has anyone purchased any of the Coach Keith Haring canvas totes? I'm trying to take myself out of one, because it seems overpriced for what it is. It's sturdy canvas with leather handles, but there are no pockets inside, and it isn't coated. I only want it because I love the graphic:/. Sorry about this post-I know it's not Parker-related but thought I'd ask...

That is a bummer. I have to say Younkers had mine packaged to the nines. I have never had a bag so "packaged" before. Nothing could have happened to it, lol. Although Younkers is the same group as Bonton I chose Younkers this time since I used to shop at one way back when, and I wondered if their service would be better than Bonton (not that it is bad, was just average in my experience). I guess I am not disappointed --it was really packaged beautifully.

I do think that Bonton does actually process returns okay though. I had an issue where my email was used by someone else accidentally and had to call and get that worked out and they were helpful in clearing it up.
