Congrats! I have been looking for this bag for a while, but unable to find it
Great shape from FOS. Tattoo Dreamer.
This is a beautiful bunch. I love your flowers and pinks!Haven't posted here for a long time. I did not buy anything for the first two months of the lockdown but had bought quite a few bags before. I am posting pictures of the items I bought after the lockdown ended here. Mostly bought online except for the Cassie that I had customized at the store. I also paid full price for Coach x Tabitha Simmons meadow print because I wanted the large size so much even though I already bought the small one last year. I guess I'm not too crazy buying two with the same print, right?The small one is cute but just so small.

Coach 1941 Courier Carryall in Pacific Blue.
The bag fits a Macbook Air 2018 model, if anyone is interested (should only have a few other items in the bag to maintain shape). I do not recommend using it as a mini briefcase, however, as you cannot zip the bag closed.
In person, the burnished Pacific Blue color is absolutely lovely. The glovetanned leather is extremely concerning, though, because it is so delicate. I had to handle with gloves--let alone "kid gloves"--as I contemplate whether or not to keep it. The bag is a return (came without plastic bag and exterior wrappings), I assume, because it has imperfections in the front flap leather (small pecks that look like debossed pimple scars, when examined up close). I am debating if I am bothered enough to exchange. (It looks great with all my camel, brown, cream and tan skirts. No idea when one can wear them, however.) Does anyone else have experience buffing out leather imperfections/small uneven dots on Coach 1941's GTL when it's this thick?

Hey everyone, long time no write. Been on self-imposed ban for over a year and a half after I got a Gucci Soho Disco (which I adore and had been using a lot before lockdown), and over two years from Coach when I got a Parker! I really just had all the bags I needed (I really need to rehome a lot too). But lately I felt I needed a fresher bag - hobos are my style and I actually did not have a larger everyday bag in black. I haven't been looking too closely at the Coach site, although I have been checking out Coach in Macy's... However, the black Courier Hobo caught my eye, and when I saw there was just one left in the online sale last Thursday (although one has just appeared again today) - well, I jumped on it! Had some trepidation afterwards as I was reading a couple of people weren't as pleased with it in person, plus this was my first online order from Coach (I did order the Parker online but that was from Bonton before it closed) and I've read the reports of shoddy packaging and defects - the latter had especially worried me as I did get the last available one last week. But, it arrived today...and it's perfect! In shipping, condition, size and quality. it's just the right size for everyday carry yet it can fit the odd take home from work (when I go back to the office, still working from home). Anyway, here it is,very happy with it!
Love a good hobo! So, I guess all the Coach 1941 Courier lines are coming with Coach New York satin dust bags instead of the thick 1941 cotton dust bags? I don't know why, but that really disappoints me...Mine came with the satin one from CNY instead of 1941, too.

My dust bag was satin and way bigger than the bag. Seems like Coach has been making the lines between regular line and 1941 bags a bit blurrier as far as marketing for awhile now though. I noticed the price tag was normal Coach too rather than the 1941 type tag, and there was just the standard care insert.
I really liked the total experience of the 1941 bags, it felt more luxurious than their contemporary CNY or outlet lines. It's a shame they're blurring the marketing between them now. The in-store customizations and the slightly more luxurious experience were what set Coach apart from other contemporary brands. Maybe when this pandemic is over, they can focus on that again. I thought the 1941 collection were popular specifically because they had a comprehensively elevated experience, I guess I was wrong? The bubble of tPF may not reflect real world feelings about the collection. All that said, going into a Tory Burch retail boutique feels a step up over Coach. They offer champagne, have lounging sofas and a large television showing the current runway collection. Maybe Coach could make a comeback of 1941 if they did something similar after the pandemic as opposed to the plastic water bottles that they rarely ever offer.
Went in to check out the Pine Cassie in person, walked out with this Elm Emery and Year of The Rat charm. 
It is a lunch pail. It is my third one! I love it, it is a great little bag.
It must vary by the individual store. I've been in the Tory Burch in the Forum Shoppes in Las Vegas many times and I have never been offered champagne. I hate the particular layout of this store. I feel much more welcome at the two Coach stores in the same mall.
I actually like the plastic water bottles because I can carry them with me as I shop at other stores. I've been in several premium stores where they offer me a glass of something. It may be a bit more elegant but I can't take it with me.
