Your new Coach: a mini-reveal thread!

Hi everyone. I'm new here and new to Coach - you'll see from my username that I was Mulberry fan back when you didn't have to remortgage your house to buy one...

Anyway, I just got my first Coach half price on sale - this colourblock Tabby 26 in vintage pink multi.

I thought I'd post some mod shots as I couldn't seem to find any online. She is a bit less Y2K and a bit more vintage feeling in this colourway - what do you think?

Excuse the drainpipe and the fact I've cropped my face out, it was a no makeup day!

Received Ruby in army green w/snakeskin accents. It's going back. Many stitches are wonky, the zipper is an odd green color & there are scales already poking up on the handles. I thought I had either read here or saw on on a YouTube video that the handles were super smooth and not rough like past exotic handles were, which is not what I'm finding with this particular bag. It it's not a silhouette that I would typically chose anyway, but I loved the color story so I thought I'd take a chance. I knew that if it wasn't 100% love, it was going back and back it shall go. Hopefully someone else will get it and be happy with it as is. Just wanted to share.

Oh that’s too bad you don’t like it. Maybe you just got a bad one? I was surprised how much smoother the handles were compared to my older exotic rogues.

Whoa, those are funky stitches! The handle should be smooth, I haven’t had any lifting on mine. I’m sorry yours came to you like that. (But I secretly love the almost oil slick like zipper)

The one I received, it seemed like Coach lacquered the snakeskin handles and clochette. Maybe the person doing this bag forgot that step. :shocked: But it doesn't feel like real snakeskin without feeling the scales. But of course, it won't flake off either. I had hoped the pebbled leather on the ruby would feel like the rogue satchel leather. But it doesn't. :sad: Oh well, at least you know it's not for you.

The leather to me feels like a cross between the 1941 leather and polished pebble leather that was used on the Market Tote.
 
LOVE! Ordered this as soon as I saw it. Would not have ordered Ruby if I had known this was coming. Loving the color pallet & the smooth leather. How do you like it? Mine should be here Monday & twins on the bag charm!
I LOVE it. Something about it just looks so hard and edgy but it's still so feminine. Absolutely beautiful in person. You won't be disappointed!! Let me know how you like it!!
