If I had all the money in the world I just don’t know if I could spend that much on a bag. I’m not knocking those that do I just don’t know if I could lol Coach is my comfort level lol

I was in Saks the other day browsing bags and I was carrying my Page 27 with rivets and most of the brands there just did not compare to my Coach bag. I feel like a broken record at this point but my Page is probably the best quality and construction of any Coach bag I’ve ever purchased. That bag is a sleeper and I’ll be really sad if it’s truly discontinued.

I went back and looked at the bag again because it is working so well for you :-) I think it might be on the narrow/tall side for me, but I can see why you love it. I also would want it to have an outside pocket I think. I agree that many times there are Coach bags that look so much nicer than the super expensive brands.

A pocket on the back would be the icing on the cake! My dream is that they are discontinuing it to re-release an update where they turn the back inside slip pocket into the outside back pocket. It would very easy to change the design, the pockets already there! But this will probably only stay a dream [emoji23]

It is making me sad that they took the clochette tag off of the Rogues and seem to be distancing away from the 1941 collection! It’s what sucked me back into handbags lol

Oh wow I never run into anyone carrying Rogue in my area. Looking at a washed red tea rose Rogue 25 while getting my Christmas pedicure. [emoji7] It was sold out by the time I wanted it. I ended up getting the gray one instead. View attachment 4285450

Haha! I’d have been so excited to see that! I’ve only ever seen one rogue in the wild and it was a rogue briefcase.

I really like that clochette too! The bag looks naked without it. They should at least offer as an accessory for purchase! I'd go nuts buying different colors! Imagine the possibilities!

I did this a few years ago in Las Vegas. I went to all the shops in the Forum, which includes most major designers, and tried to figure out which bag I would want regardless of cost. My favorite after all of that was a Coach Sophia, which I eventually bought.

A few years ago I got a vintage Gucci at a thrift store and compared it to a similar Coach from the same time period. The Coach was superior. Not only had it held up better but it had leather lining rather than cloth and other better features.

It’s a shame to see bags being sold for twice the price of Coach but with so many quality issues. Is the Page 27 the one with the small flap going down the middle?

I love seeing Rogues in the wild. Sometimes they just don’t photograph well. But seeing them carried [emoji7]

The Forum would be a great place to do that! I’ve been there once and shopped a bit but I was with a lot of people and didn’t want to hold everyone up so I just quickly browsed.

I can definitely appreciate other brands and I like to look like you and I know you do dabble a bit in other brands lol But I just love the bang for your buck I get with Coach. I have some issues with Coach but I don’t think I could ever quit them.

Wow I just got my MJ bag. Nordstrom delivery is impressive as tracking said delivery would be tomorrow. So here it is! I'm iffy.. I love the color and the design! It's the perfect metallic gray! I'm finding the hardware noise annoying though. The way the handles are attached to the bag is by two loose pieces of triangular metal rings and every time I lift the handles those pieces make a noise upon contact. Not sure if this is a deal breaker. I have the Coach fancy metallic gray kisslock bag but I wanted one that I looked way more casual and carefree as in not high maintenance. Also this bag has no feet. Construction is great. Leather is sturdy on the body and holds the shape. However the top curved leather that the zipper is attached to is soft. This bag really makes me think of a modern version of the vintage Coach Broadway satchel! Blergh.. I think I have to sadly return this beauty and buy my boys clothes/shoes with the credit.
What do you guys think? Shopping fail? IMG_20181221_130711502.jpegIMG_20181221_130754500.jpegIMG_20181221_124708073.jpeg
