Dislike the Coach Rogue?

[Suzanne B.]

Thanks for the feedback! Do you think a water bottle and an umbrella would fit in a 25?

You do NOT want the 25 if you are going to have even a small water bottle and a small umbrella, not if you use a regular sized wallet and have other things like sunglasses or a wristlet with misc. items or whatever.

I love the regular sized Rogue. It's my favorite handbag, I own 3 of that size. I don't find it super heavy unless I have it really weighed down with things. A water bottle and umbrella would easily fit in the center. I like it for the versatility and this from someone when it first came out was not impressed and felt it looked like luggage.

I have 3 regular sized Rogues but decided not to get more. The inside kisslock pocket instead of regular slip pockets is a negative for me. I also shoulder carry so have to slip the short handles into the outside pockets because they don't hang right otherwise. Why I passed on all the exotics. Why pay extra when no one will ever see the exotic handles? The outside pockets also tend to gap open a bit more than I like. Technically the Rogue can be carried crossbody but I find the straps too thin to be comfortable. Love the size, leather, and the fact it does at least have outside pockets, but the Rogue has enough negatives that I don't want more. I wish the Dreamer 36 came in more color combos as I find it a more practical bag.

I thought I was the only one not to like the kisslock pockets. I didn't like it on the first generation one I had because it made the lining sag into the bag. I'm hoping the rivets one I just bought won't do that....I'm going to use an insert in it to try to prevent that.

The kisslock is the #1 reason why I haven't added anymore of this size. I switched back into my regular size one on Thursday to decide if I wanted to add more during this sale. First thing that I remembered was that darn kisslock is there instead of a slip pocket. I also find the zip pocket harder to open on the regular. It doesn't stick, but the cloth lining moves too much so I have to hold both sides to unzip. It does fit all my essentials better than the 25 and 2 water bottles easily.

I thought NO WAY would a 25 work for me, but I'd been using the past 2 weeks and really like it. I tuck the handles in and am able to fit wallet, cosmetic case, card case, keys, gum, chapstick, crackers, mirror and 1 water bottle in there. Phone in slip pocket. For me I like the size better because I can also use crossbody w/a novelty strap. The regular size is too big on me crossbody. I will mention that I don't zip the main compartment of either size because I really prefer open easy access bags.

Same thing I thought too and now I own 2 and will most likely get a third.

I never zip mine either. I do like to carry it in the crook of my arm.

I like the Rogue so much that I have replaced a majority of my other bags with them (mostly Coachs Swaggers, Kate Spade Haydens, and Michael Kors Selmas) I generally prefer the regular size (I have 6) but the 25 (I have 3) is deceptively roomy. I can fit much more in it than I could my Swagger 27’s. You really can’t beat the quality for the price, especially on sale. Like others have said, the handles can be kind of awkward when you shoulder carry, but I’ve trained most of mine to fall flat to the outside when shoulder carrying. I don’t find them overly heavy either. I hand or elbow carry most of the time and haven’t had any issues with carrying them all day. I do not recommend carrying them crossbody with the included straps. The method of latching the two straps together puts the buckle right on your neck/shoulder and it’s really uncomfortable. I made that mistake while traveling once and it left a bruise. But, you can solve that issue by using a novelty strap instead. However, it still attaches to the bag on the diagonal so it distorts the bag somewhat. I don’t think you’ll regret it if you get one. They’re a basic shape and not too trendy so they shouldn’t start looking dated anytime soon.

I love rogues 36 and.30 the 25 is.too small.i t is.really the only.coach bag for me.nothing else.attrac ts.me.at.all

 

[nukkipon]

You should buy it! I think you won't regret it.

I love the Rogue and I'm really sad that they'll discontinue it I have two in regular size and three 25 and wear them daily. I am located in Germany and it was always a pain in the a** to get my hands on them. If I was in the US, I would buy as many as I could before it's gone haha

The only contra imo is the weight after carrying it the whole day, tho it depends on how much stuff I carry with me + that the leather on the newer ones feels thinner.

Still it's my all time favourite bag. I don't think I'll buy any new Coach bag soon 'cause the Rogue is my favourite style.

I just ordered the Rogue w/whipstitch handles and contrasting suede sides in the Summer Sale...it's oxblood with saddle tan suede...I think it's absolutely beautiful, although I am concerned about how it will carry, as it seemed a little block-ish.
50% off..figured I'd give it a try...early bday gift for myself...
Also ordered the Sutton Hobo in dark turquoise, which seems like a nice laying bag, and the color is gorgeous. Package coming Thursday...

I have one Rogue (regular size). I like the style and the quality, but it is one of my less used bag, simply because of the weight of the bag. If I bring my normal items then the bag will get too heavy (it is already heavy empty), then I would have to downsize my things - the same amount for when I use the Parker. It's just not practical, so I rarely use it.

Rogue shoulder bag on the other hand is really good. I really like it because it's much lighter than the regular rogue.

Despite all that, I still like the style and quality of the Rogue bag, and I won't sell mine, but i just will not buy it in multiple colors.

So much! I'm contemplating my most recent regular Rogue purchase for this reason- haven't carried it yet, but as a HUGE fan of the 25s and satchels, I found the 25 to be ALMOST perfect in that I wanted it to be just a hair bigger. You could definitely fit an umbrella and water in it; but how much other stuff do you daily-carry? This was my incentive on the regular Rogue- but I'm wondering if it would be too heavy to schlep around all day, fully loaded. Does anyone have thoughts on this? I'm not in a car town!

Depending on what you carry, it could get heavy. But the double shoulder straps are pretty comfortable. I've worn it out all day and haven't had too much trouble, but I also don't walk to work or take public transportation. I'd probably use one of my lighter weight totes for that type of use.

I like the Rogue 25 for handcarry, but I dislike it for shoulder carry because of the boxiness and how the straps work. Plus it does get kind of heavy, and I don't even carrry that much.
