Yes! The bag is metallics! The base of the bag is super shiny and smooth. The top flap and back is more of a matte metallic finish on the pebble leather. And the sides are snakeskins but it’s like a light tan
! Here is a close up pic!
Hi, one more question - can you show a picture of the strap? Is it part c-link and part leather/chain? Thanks
Saw the Parker 18 last night at Dillards. Love this little bag! Very cute! The only thing is the one with the metal tea rose closure area seemed to want to topple over toward the front but maybe with your items in the bag it would sit fine. It seems like it would be great for going out as it is small.
It looks beautiful! Do you find that the zip compartment gets in the way? What I mean is that can you still fit a lot of stuff in, even with the zip compartment?
I find the middle compartment dose get in the way of the bag. On this bag, the middle compartment is not fully sewn down on the bottom so it does not actually create 2 distinct compartments. I do find that my smaller stuff will then slide around the bottom of the bag. Unlike the quilted models I have found that the middle zip section on those are fully stitched down, so you actually do have compartments.
The middle section does hold things but I tend to put in flat things like card cases, smaller papers, and recipients. But I don’t use the middle section most of the time because I’m lazy and shove things in my bag lol.
For this one I can fit lots in there like a full size wallet. With this leather pebbled leather and the quilted ones they are more soft so I can stuff a tad more things then the canvas and plain refined calf leather.
Below I have a pic of what I tend to carry on a day that I have to carry more...in reality is still not that much.
Hope this helps!
Parker HACKS:
Pull the chain to your desired length through only 2 of the grommets on the inside of the bag (it will end up being a "loop" of chain), knot the end of the chain "loop" and your Parker turns into a chic top handle bag!
I love this bag so much and can't wait to have it in a million other colors

Loving the IRL photos! I just ordered from Nordstrom’s website. I’m really enjoying my black smooth leather Parker but quickly realizing it may not be an “everyday” bag. My first night out it already had some scuffs on the flap. Kind of makes me apprehensive about cutting the tags on the pink. I’m going to take some leather cleaner to it tonight and buff it out.
Hey there, can you share pics of the scuff on your parker? I'm currently thinking bout purchasing the same bag so would really love to know. Thanks.
I just can not decide to choose parker patent leather or another one [emoji853], both are my fave color and gorgeous, does anyone have the new parker color?
