I want to get one of these in Marine. I already have the Rogue in primrose and I love it. I do not own a Cooper. I have a list of pros and cons in my head on each but want to see what everyone else thinks. The Cooper is glovetanned and the Rogue is pebble. IMG_7300.jpg

I vote Rogue. More scratch resistant IMO. I love the look of the Cooper but I know the leather pieces that go front to back would bother me. Its lighter though...gotta go with YOUR gut but I almost always vote Rogue :-)
Good luck!

These are the exact things I’m having a hard time weighing. Rogue is heavy but is very durable. Cooper is really light but isn’t scratch resistant. The SA in the store showed me a few different ways to deal with the leather pieces to keep them out of the way so I’m not too concerned about them. It sounded like a lot of people have reservations about those.

Rogue- the fact that you can wear it as a shoulder bag or a satchel, also while it is structured, it isn't as stiff as the Cooper. I feel like when I wear bags like Cooper, I bump into more things around me because they jut out so. Also, I just like the look of the Rogue on you vs. the Cooper.

Initially, I did not like the Cooper when I saw it in the store, because I didn't like the mixed colors of the hardware. Then, I saw it in Bordeaux on the website and loved it in that color, despite the difference in hardware. Regardless, it is a very nice looking bag. I must say that seeing that marine Rogue on you with the scarf wrapped around the handles makes me want to order that bag in marine color, too, or perhaps in peony with proper scarves on the handles. Wearing the Rogue in that elevated way makes me like that style even more.

Rogue . I owned the Cooper for a bit , then sold it . It was a nice bag to carry for work . But If I had to carry it all the time , it was not my first choice . It DOES scratch easy ! And when carried on the shoulder can sway back and forth . How do you prefer to carry your handbags ? If crook of arm like show , then Cooper would be fine .
On the flip side , I find the Cooper lighter in weight than the Rogue .

Another Rogue vote here. Dressing it up with that scarf really takes it up a level! The durability and construction just can't be beat. I think I prefer the Cooper in pretty sedate, conservative colours, while the Rogue looks nice in any colour.
