I agree with you that the red rogue needs some contrast. I like your choices with the black handles and the antique nickel hardware.

Thanks; I think I'll ask for a pic of the actual materials together. I'm sure about the red body and straps, the black handles and the nickel hardware; I'm just not sure what suede to get. None of the choices seem perfect to me. Red and Indigo are the best, I think, but it's hard to tell from the simulated pictures.

I only want one more Rogue; so I want to choose very carefully. I adored the Steel Blue when I saw it (the lining made it for me), but I think Red might be more timeless.

I do also have a 36 in Saddle but I wear that as a shoulder bag and really consider it to be a tote, mainly for vacations or skating competitions when I want to stuff in gloves, scarf, maybe a thin sweater, etc. I don't see it as a daily bag.

I'm now tinkering with TWO designs and trying to convince myself that I already returned a 25 because it was too small. But since I enjoy switching to a Dinky for just a single day, I'm thinking a 25 would be the same. :angel:

The 1941 Red full size is a definite; I'll order her next month. Now that I'm thinking Burgandy lining, I'm considering Brass hardware. What do you think? The only thing that gives me pause is that some of my favourite charms that would be perfect for this bag (Black Leather Tea Rose, 'Black/White Studded Tea Rose and the ginormous Icons Mix Bag Charm) all have nickel or gunmetal hardware. So maybe nickel is better. :huh:


I will try hard to talk myself out of the little Baby Rouge Rogue (although I do love that colour, and the Indigo Suede looks divine with it). Except my birthday is right after the holidays, and I invariably get a cheque or two...

I have similar design tastes to you @Pagan! Did you ever end up ordering? I'm lusting after a 1941 red custom rogue as well, because I don't have any red bags right now! I like the gold tone of the brass hardware with the orange interior, which I think adds a nice surprise inside. I'll attach what I was playing with below, and also a picture of the red rogue that Coach released to show what a difference hardware can make (my version is also smooth leather, not pebbled!) I decided on how I want to monogram the hangtag with little Dino buddies! Now all I have to do is be disciplined enough to scare up the $1000, which actually might take forever because the wishlist is never ending…

Nice choice! My SA offered me a F&F code, so I bought the Black/Oxblood Tea Rose Rogue 25, the Chalk Tea Rose Dinky and the Black Rogue Tote with links. That Rogue'd me out and shifted my planned MTO Rogue spend forward.

I fell in love with the Celine Micro Belt bag in red, but I just can't bring myself to drop that much on a single bag, however beautiful. I was hoping that Coach would release another bag in 1941 Red, but my SA thinks the colour has been discontinued.

So, I might do a MTO Rogue in red after all, but if I do it will be in the 25 size. Now that I've been carrying the Tea Rose 25, I've realized that I enjoy this size. I'm toying with the Indigo Blue interior rather than the Burgandy, since I have the Burgandy in my Tea Rose version.

Hello everyone :smile:

Being brave today... this is my first post.

I've decided that, once I have the money for it in January, I'm going to buy my very first purse ever, and it's going to be from the Design Your Own Rogue program. I'm absolutely stoked, and, honestly, more than a little nervous.

I've included a photoshopped image of the purse I'm putting together, modified from the stock photo by removing the standard shoulder straps, adding the chalk python strap, adding two trigger snap key fobs to increase the length (as I'm uncertain the shoulder strap itself would be long enough for me to wear this crossbody), and adding the medium sized Mohawk Rexy (which I intend to pair with this purse and have attempted to match the colors of the purse to the charm).

Does anyone happen to know the shortest and longest lengths of this shoulder strap? The website just says it's 42.5" long, but it's adjustable so I assume that must just be an average or something. Trying to determine if I need longer intermediaries between the shoulder strap and the purse itself, of if the key fobs would work fine.

Thanks for any help!

(Edit: Please excuse the quality of the interior shot. I added it as an afterthought just now, to illustrate the color tie in to the cornflower Rexy with the interior lining of the purse, but I don't have access to Photoshop at the moment)

Adjusted to the last (longest hole) it goes to about 41" leather loop to leather loop, or 43.5" end to end including dogleash clips. Note that the dogleash clips are removable, so you could just attach the keyring of the trigger strap fob to the leather loop on the strap instead of having dogleash clip to keyring, but of course that would make you lose length.

Welcome, and congratulations in advance on this awesome "first"!!! You're starting with a bang. :D

How tall are you? I don't have the strap with me to measure, but I feel like it should have enough length for the Rogue to be worn crossbody, as the bag itself will hang down quite a bit more due to its length. I'm only 5'2, and find that a regular Rogue still hangs a bit low crossbody when both ends of the strap are on their shortest setting! So unless you're like over 6', I wouldn't worry! Are you able to check out the strap in store, and perhaps try it out on a Rogue there?

Loving the whole ensemble!

Excellent. That is extremely helpful. Thanks so much!

That's very good to know. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to do some measuring and see how much additional length I actually need to add.

Thanks! :) I'm really looking forward to it, despite my nervousness. It's just too bad it'll take three months to make before I receive it, lol!

I'm 5'10.5". I'd like for the purse to sit a bit lower, down by my hip rather than closer to my waist, hence my concern.

well........ maybe? There's a mall about an hour and a half away that has a store I could visit, which would probably be a good idea. I just need to muscle up the nerve to go ahead and do it. Which really shouldn't be as big a concern as I'm psyching myself out for it to be I guess. #pointlessanxiety

Thanks! :D I've really been putting a great deal of thought and effort into planning it. Determining what colors I like, what matches with what, etc.

Slight update, since it seems I'm unable to update my previous post (please correct me if I'm approaching this the wrong way).

I've decided to alter the colors of the bag a bit, to better match the body of the Rexy charm. Changed the strap to Cornflower Blue and the lining to 1941 Red. Also changed the bag from a Rogue to a Rogue 36, since it seems that will fit my laptop, and added a Nolita Wristlet 19 With Snakeskin Detail which, while not Cornflower, seems to match the Rexy pretty well.
