I’m finding myself in quite the little predicament... I can’t make up my mind on which bag to keep. I love all 3 but can only have one. :(. I was hoping to hear your thoughts and help me decide. Below is the breakdown I have done to help me decide. Please add any thoughts, opinions you might have. If you have any of these bags, I’d love to see IRL pics - They are welcomed!
My fave/everyday bag at the moment is a red pebbled Edie shoulder bag. Medium size - it actually holds a lot !

Coach Rogue 30 Chalk colour
What I Love : Love the colour ( it’s on off white, not bright white). Love the daisies on the tag and the pins. LOVE how soft this leather is. It’s softer than the green one.
Concerns: worried it will lose too much shape. SA told me that because the leather is so soft and due to the weight of the rivets it will likely lose its shape more than the non riveted ones. Maybe too big for me.
Has a fair bit of weight to it - due to beautiful leather!

Coach Rogue 30 Teal (green) the pic appears brighter than it actually is.
What I love: love the whip stitched handles. Wow!! Love that the colour appears different in different light. Love the contrast and the sueded centre.
Concerns: colour might be too bland for me at times. :(. Worried about cleaning the suede in the centre. As it’s sueded on the outside I will have to be extra mindful. Maybe too big for me.
Has a fair bit of weight to it - due to beautiful leather!

Coach Carly Denim
What I love: it’s retro! Love the denim! I assume it would be lighter than the two above.
Concerns: only one big open space inside. Has interior zip up and two cell pouches but no dividers. Just open concept. Wonder if when under arm will “bow” in the middle.

Thanks SD kitty for your input. I had wondered of the chalk getting dirty too. Hhhmmm.. here’s another pic of the green

From my experience even a light brown/tan bag shows a lot more wear than a black or dark brown. Doesn't mean everyone has to carry dark colors. But I think the green is pretty and would be a lot more durable (esp if you would ever want to sell)

Carly is a classic and an awesome, comfortable bag, but it will definitely bow in the middle with weight in it - it's a hobo bag and that's how they are designed. If that bothers you, it might not be the right bag for you. I don't think you can go wrong with that green Rogue, it's close to perfection in all ways.

The Carly has to be a lot cheaper than the other two, and lighter weight. These Carlys had a flaw in that when carried on the shoulder, the fabric at the top of the bag became frayed with use. They were designed to slouch in the middle.

For me, the Rogues are too big and too heavy, plus the shoulder straps aren't comfortable. I think you would need to get a better shoulder strap. I don't think you'll reach for either of them as much as your Edie as they aren't as easy to carry. Chalk would be my last choice. It isn't a color I would reach for, and it is harder to maintain.

Thanks Whateve and caspin22 yes I think the middle bow will bothered me especially as I seem to always carry more than I want to. Lol. And I won’t like any fraying in the middle...ew. The rogues are a bit heavier but not much more than my Edie, this bag is truly comfortable.

Out of the three, I would pick the Rogue Teal/Green bag. The colour is nice. I prefer to buy bags in leather from Coach so I wouldn't go for the denim one. I wouldn't go for the Chalk bags - whilst they are look nice, in real life, it wouldn't be so practical for me (easy to get dirty and colour transfer).

Ultimately it depends on your preference and what you need in a bag!

I do wonder about that darn colour transfer and I have two young boys.. so dirty hands are always near. I was in the CS this evening I saw the chalk bag there and noticed it was quite slouchy. I do like it not so rigid but this was very slouchy. The leather on this one is super super soft and I think because of the rivets it slouches quicker/easier than the others. I noticed a few with rivets like this.
