I doubt it. There's a new suede Rogue out now. A light saddle I posted a pic of it about a week ago. Do you have an SA who can call and check to see if one is hiding somewhere? Or contact Coach's customer service.
The new one does have gunmetal hardware. You would need to ask for the Rogue in saddle suede. This size is the 30.
No problem. Good luck!
See post #189 for pics of the new version. I think it's officially called the colorblock suede rogue.

I think I liked the original slightly more D: still.. so pretty. I just love those colors of camel, oxblood, and gunmetal.. and the suede. My store has it, I'm going to go check it out in person. Trying to decide between that and a Speedy right now. I need something that is very durable as I'm pretty careless with my stuff. The last Coach I bought a few years ago was really beat up by the time I retired it only a couple years later. Can anyone speak to the durability on the Rogues so far?
I would not really recommend suede then. It does require more care as well as regular maintenance, otherwise it starts looking pretty awful. If you want a do everything and go everywhere bag, I would not recommend suede unless you don't care how it looks, especially if you declare yourself as careless with your things.
I do take care of my bags, and even I won't buy or carry a suede exterior bag; just more worry than I care for in my life (suede interiors are fine, but even then I still am cautious!).
A regular leather/pebble leather is a better option. Even then I still recommend taking care of it if you want it to last a long time AND look good. Leather needs some care and maintenance now and then, period, if you want it to keep looking good. Protecting, conditioning, being careful of rain, etc.
The Rogues themselves are very well constructed though, nice thick chewy leather, nicely finished, sturdy. They have not been around that long to look over the years, but given their construction I have no doubt they can last a lifetime - and still look good - with regular care and maintenance, including letting them rest as well.

I am relieved to hear that others out there buy/return a lot of bags. I hate returning things and I feel like Coach will ban me lol. I've purchased 7 bags and am returning 3. One (the rogue with rocket embellishments) just didn't do anything for me in person and the other 2 were the rogue 25 (pink/snakeskin, pink/black tearose) and are just too small for me. It's really hard not being able to see these bags in person before I order!
I agree with other posts, if you are careless with bags, don't get suede. I have 3 suede bags, they're in excellent condition, one is even vintage, but I take care of them.
If you don't take of anything it will look bad.
If you don't take care of suede it will look worse than bad.
I am unable to see them in person before I order, as well. Not easily anyway, as the nearest boutique is about 2 1/2 hours drive (and that is to the city limits, not necessarily to the boutique!). I have only returned one thing, only as I ordered the cloth lining instead of the suede, but I actually figure Coach probably gets MORE of my business from ordering online than they might if I walked into a store. I am very much prone to late night browsing and buying, when the store would be long closed for the day!
I only hate returning things as it costs me money (in Canada), and can be quite a bit with insurance and tracking. I would be ordering everything I even had a mild interest in if I had free shipping & free returns just to be able to look in person...LOL.
I am so curious about the Rogue 25, so would be interested to know what made it "too small" for you. As yes, I am trying to save myself ordering it just to check it out. I know it is a lot smaller, but I would just want it on weekends or what have you when I am just wanting to carry a smaller snap wallet, my sunglasses, lip gloss, phone, and maybe some sunblock (redhead here!). I have one small Cole Haan leather crossbody now, but it does not have much depth, so it has more limited use. I really like the idea of being able to use the Rogue 25 crossbody or on the shoulder while running errands, and then change it to a handcarry for dinner, etc. I love the size of the regular Rogue for my workdays, but I really don't need to carry around as much stuff on weekends, and so can sacrifice on size in exchange for smaller and lighter weight. But I still don't want it to be TOO small! On the flipside, I am wondering if I am finding a reason to justify buying one at some point when I can probably make do with what I have!
I was trying to justify too, that's why I talked myself into the rocket embellished bag that I'm returning, it didn't wow me at all and when I find myself in front of the mirror trying to like it, it's not going to work.
The rogue 25 sounds like it's definitely not too small for your weekend purposes. I am a tote/swagger 32?(not 27) or regular size rouge girl for weekdays and a saddle 23 or dinky girl on weekends. I don't like the rogue 25 for weekends because I want my crossbody to be flat, say 3" max. I'm a fast walker and need maneuverability and when I wear a wide crossbody, it tends to "bounce" off me if it's too wide. I tried the mini christie, mini lexington, mini swagger...they just bounced too much. Plus, I didn't know what to do with the handles.
If you are a "calm" walker, you will be fine. The tea rose is gorgeous, but won't work for me. For weekdays, I need a bigger size for work to carry my 5 waters and snacks to work lol and that won't fit in the 25.
Thanks so much for your response. Yeah I do not usually go for flaps but I do wonder if a Saddle 23 would work for me as well for weekends, except I would lose on ability to hand carry etc.
The "regular" Saddles look too big/tall for me (and also means a bigger flap). I don't want to pay FP for one though. Also while I like a couple of the current smooth leather options, I might prefer pebble leather...ha ha.
Obviously answer is I need both Rogue 25 and Saddle 23. Just to try them out...
I have a regular saddle too but barely use since I don't carry much on the weekends. The flap does not bother me (i have 3 in the 23 size) , but the lack of a back outer pocket is what is missing... That's why I grab the dinky 24 more than the saddle for that outside pocket. I like quick access to my phone and find an outer slip pocket easier to use than pocket under flap BUT I do like saddle 23 because I don't have to worry about scratching a turnlock and feel I can beat the saddle up more, not that I'm harsh on bags...Thanks so much for your response.

My order still says processing. I wish they would either ship or cancel. The waiting is painful!
