I got that feeling too when I tried them on in store. But there is one lady that works in my building who has one that’s weaved all around and it looks so soft and buttery. Haha I’m with you on satchels. I love to look at them, but I have a hard time using them. When they are too structured like say the Givenchy Antigona, I would wish they were more slouchy. And when they are slouchy like the Rogue and speedy, I wish they were more structured. Haha

I like the look of satchels when they are hand-carried. I don't care for satchels with a long strap except for small ones. Usually the bag doesn't look as cute carried that way, or it folds up weirdly. I much prefer shoulder bags. That's why I'm so happy that my one Bal is a true shoulder bag. Too bad they don't make the style anymore.

Does the Rogue get very slouchy? Just curious because I always thought of it as rather structured (at least in terms of its rectangular bottom). I have always resisted it because in my mind, I equate it to the swaggers and boroughs. I have tried it on using the two shoulder straps and it was fine empty (not sure if it would get heavy if filled).

I also prefer shoulder bags but I make exceptions for my beloved Bbags. I love your Bbag — I just saw one in black in very good condition on FP (sold already) but I didn’t feel like spending the money now. Plus i should be on a ban. Really.

I've only seen it in a few colors. Sort of an orange and black. If only I could find it in a blue green!

Did it come in blue green? I have only seen listings for black and taupish/brown — and I have seen pics of your lovely bag. I don’t even know what years the bag was produced in (other than the year yours was produced in). I have never seen one (except for yours) on the Bal subforum in the past 3 years. It is a rare gem.

I agree. Like the speedy b 35 and 40 are like duffle bags. Do you have a picture? I can’t tell the difference between them ☹️

The rogue is pretty slouchy on top. Like when I’m looking for something in my bag, it feels like the top kinda caves in on itself if that makes sense. The handles also fall into the bag.

I think there might be a few in the reference library. No blue green though. I doubt it was made in that color, but I can dream. When I got it, I thought it might be fake because I couldn't find another of the same style, after looking at hundreds of Bal pictures. I think I've seen orange from a Japanese seller.

Look here is mine at Neiman Marcus! https://www.neimanmarcus.com/Balenciaga-Classic-Club-Hobo-Bag-Pourpre/prod144910248/p.prod
And here too: http://thatbagiwant.com/Product_Details.aspx?sno=13C0661
Here is the orange: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/brand-kakaku-jfa/item/v14157/
OMG, purple! https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/hobos/balenciaga-motocross-classic-club-hobo-1
Here is green, but it is giant: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Auth-BALEN...Bag-Blue-Leather-Vintage-V13798-/232652932552

I want that purple one. That green one is actually mislabeled—it is not a Club. It is just the Hobo. I actually would consider this style since it is smaller than the Day bag (which I used to own)

Thanks. No, can’t wear it crossbody — just shoulder carry which is my preferred carrying method, There are current LC short handle leather totes that can be worn crossbody (from their Cuir line which is lamb leather I believe). I bought mine from a reseller (you know how some resellers have old stock).

Thanks I will look into the cuir line. (just catching up on my notifications)
