Just got the turnlock backpack delivered today! Of course I unboxed her and started using immediately. I got lucky last week online as it said only 1 was left in stock. So happy I got it! I’m amazed at how roomy it is but yet it’s still compact and easy for everyday. The leather is so soft! View attachment 5117654View attachment 5117655

Do you find it easy or difficult to close this bag after getting things from inside of it? I own a vintage daypack in yellow and seriously am contemplating the chalk white new one, but I'm seeing reviewers complain of this. I don't find the vintage one has this issue so I wasn't sure if this was just something on this redesign or that they don't realize this style is not throw in and go?

Eh, it is somewhat fussy. I usually tuck the drawstring into the bag before I close it or put it to the side of the turnlock. If I don’t, it gives me a little trouble. Also, if the bag isn’t super full it can be hard to line up the turnlock since the leather is so smooshy. Does that make sense? Similar issue I have with my Parker bag. It’s not enough of a problem for me to be a dealbreaker though.

Will you go for a new chalk?

I reached out to my SA and she found me the saddle color at another store, so I decided to try saddle instead. It's being transferred to my local store for me to see it before I purchase (it was a floor model). If the Willow shoulder bag ever goes on sale in the chalk color, I'll get that in white.

I was looking at some Madison bags yesterday and liked them. I find them much more easier to use than a Parker but still having a really nice look. I never kept any of the Parker bags I bought as I always had trouble using them based on their design.

Well, I can't speak to Rambler but have more Cassies than I can count. Truly my go to bag.
I had one Parker awhile back & going based on memory, the Madison is an update in the best way. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Parker had concave sides which cut into the space on the interior. I believe also did not have a full length back exterior pocket. Just a smaller pocket which did not really fit my phone without a lot of shoving lol. This one is just spacious with tons of compartments in organization. I have another Madison that I posted a lot of photos on. I'll try and find that post and notate it here.

That is how I always felt about the Parker. I found so many issues with the way it was designed, but I can't remember them all. lol. When I looked at the Madison yesterday I was impressed at how simple it appears to use.

Sure here you go. Agree with everyone that Madison is a Parker upgrade. The body is very similar to Rambler.Screenshot_20210626-085124.jpgIMG_20210626_084830__01__01.jpgIMG_20210626_085409__01.jpgIMG_20210626_084755__01.jpgIMG_20210626_085221__01.jpg

Thank you so so much I thought Madison might be a tad too small I have two Parker’s but don’t use them because of the chain strap I thought rambler might be my dream bag but Madison is looking fabulous now off to explore UK colours - thank you again
