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 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'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.
