I keep going back and forth on the green and snakeskin ruby 25. I swore I would never pay full price for Coach again though. Has anyone heard if Ruby will be hitting department stores like some of the new rogue 25s? I have a 10% coupon plus cash back is 10% today. I just know it would bug me if it hit the next SAS though.

You're not the only one, I don't like outside pockets either. Perhaps I'm weird in thinking they can compromise the strength of the outside structure (pulling could cause stitches to pop eventually), especially if they're lined in fabric instead of leather.

I HAVE TO have outside pockets and have even sold or donated some otherwise perfect vintage bags because of the lack of any outside pockets.

So far the stitches of the outside pockets on my Coaches, vintage or newer, have held up perfectly, but I switch out my Coaches at least once a week and don't carry anything heavier than 2 sets of keys and maybe my phone in them. The only stitches that have ever showed any sign of coming a bit loose have been by the base of the strap of my vintage Rambler Bag and they were already a bit loose when i bought it on Ebay.

LeSportsacs, on the other hand ... :annoyed:

Agree. I use mainly Dinky, Callie, and Hayden, and have never had issues with the back outside pocket for my phone. The pocket is very secure.

That said I can deal without outside pockets once in a while, but I do miss them when I don't have one!

I am super gentle on my bags and know that the stitches most likely will never break, it's just something in my head haha. I do not carry a lot, so I don't typically need a lot of organization, but I have to have inside pockets for sure!

I was browsing the Japan site this morning, anyone have a US release date for the tea rose rogues? Trying to only buy 1 new bag for the next 3+ months. Ruby 25 will probably win, but still curious on the new rogues.

I bought the black FP. I didn't want it to sell out or only be left with store models (with questionable condition) to chose from if I wanted to buy it later. Coach's stock has been very limited going to department stores and just kind of limited in general. I think so many people are getting priced out of premium luxury designers they are turning to Coach and depleting the stock much quicker than in years past. These people are used to spending $2k+ on a bag so $500 full price is nothing. I was waiting on the petunia hero to come to department stores and it never did - now its sold out. I snagged the last croc embossed lilac card case because it sold out a month after it hit the website.

Inside or outside pockets - doesn't make that much of a difference to me, as long as there are pockets. Ideally, I have 3 pockets - one for my phone, one for my card case, and one for my lip balm. Everything else I only need rarely so they can mingle at the bottom of the bag.

My amazing SA from several states away quit awhile back. My local store is so pushy with nonstop calls/texts/emails that I just don’t deal with them anymore. I miss having an SA that I could just email my info to and have free overnight delivery lol.

Oh man! I am in a Coach group on FB & there are Tearose rogues in the boutiques. I want to say the colors were black, melon, dove gray, and white! Someone posted a pic of a white Tearose rogue with snakeskin handles & it was BEAUTIFUL!

Eeekkkk…so curious about the black. Did they mention pricing? I haven’t logged into FB in over a year, trying not to get sucked back in lol.

I haven't had the chance to wear her out yet (I'm somewhat into seasonal colors now) but I really like it! I saw a YT video that was pretty critical and not reflective of the bag I received. Coach had to make a lot of concessions to the 1941 line because of the complaints about the weight. I think the ruby is the perfect compromise of the yummy glove-tanned leather without the excess heaviness of it being fully leather lined. Not to mention the barrel bag silhouette is for shoulder or hand carry never been the best for crossbody.
