The coach Parker

I am curious how the quilted Parker is to the 1941 quilted Dinky in terms of similar quality. I have the quilted Dinky in black and it is one well made bag! I know Parker is not technically a 1941 bag, but I was heavily considering the pink quilted one as my next purchase....
I can't comment since I don't have the Dinky. I'm not at all saying the quilted Parker isn't well made. I just don't think it keeps it's shape as well as the non quilted ones when worn long, which is how I'd most use it.
I'm also used to thicker leathers like used on the Rogues & saddle bags. In comparison, I personally feel I'd need to baby this leather more. It's just not for me.

IMO the quilted pink and black multi-color striped parkers are of great quality. I kept the multi-color and returned the pink. I'm thinking about re-purchasing the pink because I like it so much. It was the rivets quilted parker in all black that I found flimsy and unstructured when compared to the pink and multi-color striped black parkers. Haven't played around with the quilted dinky, although I imagine with it being 1941 the quality should be excellent.

Side note: I'm actually surprised the parkers are not considered 1941, but in a way glad because (hopefully) they will be included in PCE.

I'm hoping for that as well. I just found a bag I've been wanting on Ebay nwt, so I'd rather not pay full price for the Parker, so fingers crossed it's included in the PCE!
 
The Parker is very light - lighter than the quilted dinky even though it’s bigger. It makes it feel less quality to me because I’ve come to equate heft with quality. Whether that is true or not, I don’t know. I still think it’s a beautiful bag.

Is this bag more baby pink? The picture on coach.com looks like a deeper pink. It’s calling my name.
Please see the photo on Nordstrom's website, it is color accurate. The bag is baby pink, not deep pink. There are also some reveal photos that show the true pink of the bag. Coach's press and Instagram photos have sepia filters that have disguised the true pale pink of this bag, unfortunately.

Picked up these beauties today. The colorblock pink is available on Macy’s website. The colorblock is $375. So spacious and fits quite a bit. I have an LV emilie wallet, LV mini pochette, LV six ring key holder, lotion, hand sanitizer, tissues with room to spare. Back pocket fits an IPhone X comfortably.

@PurseUOut Would you please do a mod shot for both colors?? Thank you!!
 
Here's the information I got from my SA:

Smooth Leather (26852), black (in store now) and chalk (March), $350
Color Block (26851), multi, $375
Tea Rose (26733), washed red, $350
Mixed Leather (26849), heather grey, $350
Quilting (26848), peony/black (pictured below), black multi, $495
Quilting with Rivets (26850), black and chalk, $495

I'm thinking of all these options, I may end up ordering the heather grey. I'm also curious what washed red looks like.

@CoachMaven do you know if tea rose & washed red are solid colors?
