I remembered you asked about the creed a while back (I was curious too!)... Here's a pic of mine - I love that it says it was made to order

That's awesome! I love that it's unique. I actually decided to read the creeds on my Rogue 25 and Satchel. I love how it tells you to hug it. I've already had many hug sessions with my bags. Now I feel like hugging them everyday.
Hey there!!!! So yes, I decided to keep it! It was just too beautiful not to. I haven't carried it yet... it is for the fall. I think it will wear just fine AND if it doesn't, I was assured they would take care of it
I really have enjoyed carrying my Rogue Olive Green 36 with snake handles, BUT there are some things that I just don't like about it.
1. It is really heavy. I don't carry that much to begin with, but this bag is too heavy to carry around doing errands, shopping, etc. It's fine if you are just going out to dinner or going to work though. The shoulder I carry my purse on is definitely sore from wearing this while shopping the other day.
2. It's already slouching. The handles are so heavy that the bag is doomed to sag inward. I know it's not too bad now, but I can see it getting worse.
3. I am a perfectionist when it comes to bags. I take complete care of them and never set them on the ground and am always cautious of how I treat my bag. I already have scuffed corners and I'm not quite sure how it happened.
4. Huge interior, but I find it hard to dig around in there because the sides close in on me and I'm constantly having to push them back out if that makes sense.
5. The little kiss lock pocket inside is adorable, but not quite sure what to use it for, it's kinda tight and small.
I do like this bag. I get compliments on it, the craftsman ship is stunning (suede, kisslock pocket inside beautiful snake handles) and loveeee the color and how it goes well with anything. BUT...I am really glad I didn't pay full price for this bag and got it during the sale instead. I just am not in love.
How do you guys feel about your bags?

I'm afraid I'm with you....though mine is a regular sized one. I'm fine with my dark denim 25, but my gen 1 in black, not so much. Your complaints are mine, it is heavy, it caves in and slouches. I have kept it stuffed and the handles tucked in while not in use to prevent the slouching and the edges from becoming distorted, but it hasn't really helped much.
Yea, I keep the handles tucked in as well, but it still slouches. I just figured I would be honest on here, ya know? I just don't see myself using it everyday. I really want an everyday bag because I don't like to switch purses that much. I just don't know when to use this bag, I want a cute bag to carry around with me day to day. I don't want to sell it either because my fiance got me this as a gift. I wish it was more functional!

I am sorry you are finding some frustrating things about your Rogue. I understand how disappointing it can be to be all excited about something - be it a bag or something else - and it does not meet your expectations.
I only have medium Rogues, and have had them a very short while, and so far don't have the same experiences as you do. I suppose time will tell; though I like more slouch in my medium to large bags versus my small bags which I like to much more structured and retain their shape (my smaller bags are usually saffiano, etc) so I am not sure some of those things you mentioned would bother me. Like I said, mine are just mediums, but I do find them lighter to carry than my Rogue satchels, but maybe that is all in my head.
I DO admit though I don't use my Rogues or Rogue satchels if I am going to be doing a lot of walking around, because of their weight. I just take them (as you suggest) to and from work (I drive) and for quick errands or lunches/dinners. For longer trips or errands where I will be carrying my bag a lot, I do/would take one of my lighter/crossbody options I did not quite go into buying them thinking of them as a do everything and anything bag, but if I had I would have found the weight a bit too much as well for an everyday, everything carry.
Anyway, maybe if you want an everyday bag that keeps its shape better, maybe something in saffiano might be a better choice? Maybe even a tote? I don't know what Coach has for those options as I have not really looked, but I have heard good things about the MK Jet Set totes (I think they come in different sizes and lots of colours). I like MK bags as they always have lots of internal pockets compared to similar bags from other similar-priced brands, but there are of course other options from other brands as well, from contemporary to premium. I am just sort of rambling here as I don't think you asked for suggestions, but I was just trying to think of something that might work for you as a classy, cute, everyday bag.
I use the kisslocks in my medium Rogues just to keep the cards they come with in. I am not sure why as I never sell my bags (I donate them) and I guess I could also store them at home if I wanted to keep them. But I actually thought the kisslocks were roomier than I expected. I have thought about sticking my "second keys" in there (keys to my husband's truck, and so on, just the keys I don't use as often). I do tend to switch out my bags a lot though so I don't like to put much in the pockets as it just means more stuff I need to find and transfer out.

Oh, I forgot one complaint, the kisslock pocket makes it sag on the inside too. I just don't carry enough stuff to justify this bag. Since yours was a gift from your fiance, why don't you just use it when you are going to be with him, like out to eat and such? I had to do that with a bag that was given to me as a gift and I wasn't fond of the bag.....to prevent hurt feelings I just used the bag when the they were around.....which luckily wasn't that often.

Good post!! That's a good idea about keys, but keys are dirty and I don't want them in there. haha. I guess I can just put the little coach cards in there or just leave it empty. haha
I recently got the Coach Drifter and I love it. Super cute, but it's small. So it'll be my errands/shopping bag. I'll just use the Rogue for dinners and work. I do love the look of the Rogue, which is why I got it. If I had paid $300 for it, I wouldn't be complaining.
