A few days ago I received Rogue shoulder bag in chalk from Coach outlet online sale. I am happy with it. I already have Rogue shoulder bag in Navy which I got from Coach.com. I've been using it quite a lot and I am very pleased with its size and how light it is. I even prefer Rogue shoulder bag to Rogue 25. The shoulder Rogue is very comfortable on my shoulder.

A couple of weeks ago I also purchased Reiss Conway bag from Bloomindales.com. It is a leather bag with suede interior. I like the design very much and it's very light. It was on sale for $149. The only problem is that it came with leather indentations in the front of the bag. I can't exchange the bag as they don't have it anymore,

The two bags are similar in size and weight. Conway is slightly smaller but also lighter and I like the look of it slightly better than Rogue shoulder bag. I think Conway looks a bit more elegant and classy. Conway also has a large pocket in the back of the bag, perfect for my phone. The only thing I don't like about it is that the bottom is already sagging.

So I don't know whether to keep both bags. I am definitely keeping Rogue shoulder bag. Would you guys keep Conway as well? Do you think it's possible to get rid of the dents in front? The bag is pretty structured besides the bottom. I am not sure I can smooth the dents using a hairdryer like people on youtube. I could carry it with the back to the front but it looks more plain than the front. Here are few photos of the two bags:00-3.jpg01-3.jpgIMG_7969.jpgIMG_8090.jpgIMG_8094.jpgIMG_8095.jpgIMG_8096.jpgIMG_8101.jpg

Don't let bottom sagging influence your decision, you can make an insert for the bottom of the bag to stop the sagging. I put them in all my bags before I ever use them. You can use whatever materials you want, but I use heavy duty cardboard and cover them with laminating material. I also use bag organisers so I don't see the bottom of my bags. Other cover the bottom inserts they make with material or felt so they look nicer. That being said, I can't put in a vote because I like them both!

Thank you for your suggestion. That's great idea to put an insert!

The Rogue looks so beautiful! The Reiss looks nice but the dents would bother me. If it is something that would bother you a lot, I would return it and explain about the dents. If not, and you think you can get a lot of use out of the bag, then keep it.
