So Ivy Rogue arrived today, and it’s going back without any sense of regret on my part. The only wrapping was an exterior plastic bag, and while it’s not in horrible condition, it’s got a few obvious dings and scuffs. It arrived with no hang tag, no clochette, and no dust bag, so I’m assuming it was a return. My overall reaction is just “blah”. I think it’s been awhile since I’ve had such a visceral reaction against something, but yeah. This bag? It ain’t The One.
The leather finish is smooth, but is extremely thin, and just feels greasy. It’s thin enough that it seems to accentuate every minor imperfection. I do like the Coach link chain on the shoulder straps, and the print on the interior, but not enough to keep it. I’m honestly surprised this bag doesn’t have an F creed.
I’m sorry to rag on it for all of you who ordered it and love it, but I’m having a hard time finding much nice to say. This one is definitely a fail for me. I’m assuming the ivy Rogue shoulder bag is from the same production run, so that takes care of my desire to order it as well.
I’ve included a picture of Ivy Rogue next to the whiplash Rogue I’ve carried for the last month or so for comparison, as well as a close-up of the strap and interior for anyone who’s interested. As you can see the cat promptly colonized the shipping box, so I suppose all is not lost...
