No, but I also don't shove dirty things in there i.e. I don't put my keys or coins in there. I did spray with a suede protector when I first received them (and plan to do so regularly).
So it won't really look like this color at all?
I don't think it is quite that purple but I do think the Oxblood pebbled leather from that earlier Rogue release in the photo below is browner than the Oxblood pebble you might see in new items/new MTO orders.
I do know there were comments that first Oxblood Rogue was rather brown, but I do wonder if they later changed the dye, etc. I don't find my Oxblood Rogue Satchel to be brown; more like a plummy-wine oxblood (as opposed to a "red" oxblood). @Teagaggle also has a Rogue 25 in Oxblood (part of upcoming floor set) so you could PM her and ask how she finds the colour of hers.
Mine isn't as brown as the picture above. I'll post a picture tomorrow.
Ok I found some of her photos in the Rogue Clubhouse thread. That definitely looks more of a bordeaux color. I think that's what I was hoping for. At least closer to that than brown.
Good morning all!
I slept on it and decided to go with the burgundy suede lining. However, now I'm wondering if I should switch to brass hardware because of this? I also saw this photo of the same colors although suede and looks gorgeous. What do you guys think? Brass or Black hardware? Is it just me or does the brass also bring out the red in the oxblood leather? I just don't know if the brass takes away from the python handles. Thoughts?

The only Coach I have with the brass is my Chalk Rogue 25; the rest are all the more matte black and the shinier black-gunmetal (not sure what that is called!) I like all, but I will say I adore the brass. I would have more Rogues with brass if it was available when I was buying, like the first gen bags.
I think it really depends on what you are going for. The black is pretty understated - it tends to blend in and lend a more minimalist look. The brass is more eyecatching, and can lend more casual, yet I also find it quite elegant at the same time. Either way would be lovely!

True that the black is more minimalist. I'm leaning towards the brass because of the yellow stitching on the black strap, but then I do really like the minimalist look also. I tend to dress more casual so I'm wondering if either would work for casual outfits.
I do think either work for casual outfits. I hope so at least, as I still carry either when dressed casually!
The brass is really lovely. I think it would look nice with the colours you have chosen, but as I said you can't go wrong either way really. It probably just depends more if you like your hardware to blend in more or not.
While *I* have not had this issue, I know *some* people have experienced wear on their black hardware (coating flaking or chipped) so that may factor in for you as the brass is well, solid brass, whereas the black hardware is a coated hardware. I do expect my black hardware to "wear" as in rub down over time (though big chips would not be cool!) and that is not something I tend to really worry much about especially on a style like the Rogue, but some people find signs of wear more bothersome.
Have you tried it with the antique nickel hardware? I like both the brass and the black hardware on your choices for the reasons stated above, but it's always nice to look at all the options. Here is a picture of what I ended up ordering with the nickel hardware. Black glove tanned with oxblood straps and burgundy suede lining. The stitching color doesn't bother me not matching the hardware.
Also, just to give you an idea of the difference between burgundy and oxblood here are some pictures of the Coach burgundy bags next to my 1st gen oxblood Rogue.
Thanks for the heads up on the black hardware... I'm definitely leaning more towards the brass now.
