Help! I need a bantervention! I’ve been soooo good; I haven’t gotten anything (except all of the large Derby totes, for school, of course, that I rotate with my awesome Houston patchwork backpack) for months!
But... I made the mistake of looking at FOS for Christmas shopping. So, when looking for gifts for other people, I naturally ordered the Darth Vader hoodie and the “May the Force Be With You” round coin case for myself with yesterday’s extra percent off (because I suck at being banned unless I flat out don’t even look).
Then... I looked at the bags. Oh, lawdy, that was a mistake. I now have the metallic Rogues with snake trim calling my name. Please tell me they’re too similar to what I already have! Especially the rose gold with burgundy accents that would look soooo striking with my black Derby tote with oxblood interior...

She definitely did tell me how it works for her and highly recommend.
I don't think you need the Rogue bags. I had bought the metallic Rose gold and it wasn't Rose gold enough for me. I sold it. I like the bags you already have! Crossbody options are terrible for Rogues with the straps provided unless you get the wide novelty straps. Now you are spending more money to keep the new purchases. Just something to think about.
ETA: I think Rogues are much heavier than the comps! Btw, I love the croc embossed one!
Thanks for the compliment on the Swagger! I usually prefer croc over snake, as I find snake lifts a lot and catches on everything, but I was hoping that might be mitigated with just having snake on the trim. But if it’s heavy, the color isn’t as pretty as the pics, and the straps that come with it are uncomfortable or unattractive for crossbody, those are legit reasons to pass. Thanks!
Hi all,
I want to join in on the conversation in this thread.I am going to be doing a purge of my purses over the holidays and will be giving away a bunch of nwt coach items. (I have a one in/one out policy and I don't sell on ebay anymore, too much hassle)
I will be giving away the following bags:
1. a nwt bedford hobo in cypress
2. a tattoo dinky (I might have taken the tags off of this but I didn't use it)
3. a nwt bedford hobo in oxblood (again not sure if I left the tag on, but I didn't use the bag)
4. a never used proenza schouler diagonal zip hobo bag in black with a croc embossed print.
Why am I giving these bags away? I have been on tpf for almost 13 years. You ladies have seen me through a move to Michigan, the death of my mother, a divorce, and a rebuilt life. I am deeply grateful for this forum. And I would rather give these purses away to someone who would appreciate them then throw them in the goodwill bin and have some ebay seller fish them out. PM me if you want the purses. I will pay shipping. I will try to dig them out of my closet over Thanksgiving break.
Thanks for being here.
Ok someone take the hobos off my hands. The dinky is spoken for.

It's funny, actually. It never fails.I sold two bags! I'm going to list some more tomorrow.
Look at it this way: each sale helps the purchases that are helping you make your collection just what you want it to be. 
Congrats on your sales!
I think you will love it. That red Cooper is drool worthy! I have only seen you buy small or medium bags, though. I would call the Cooper a large bag. (I have the dusty rose.) Are you sure you would use it?Black Friday deals are up on Coach. They are trying to sell the Cooper at 50% while I know they have already been sent to outlets before and I turned down the Bordeaux for $120 or something like that as I was being good. Lots of dreamers there too. I want the deep red one cuz I need another red bag.
This one is so cute!!! Can any of your vintage red bags fill the same purpose? (This is dressy/casual to me.)
As some of you know, I’m the caretaker for my parents. This morning I had to take my dad for his bloodwork. I left my phone (as I was reading our blog) with him while I checked him in. Came back to the waiting room which was in full discussion about our purse ban! My dad had told him how I’m part of this “group that pledges to stop buying purses but we fail and then punish ourselves with pictures of naked ugly men” 
Umm.... no, not quite dad!
Anyways the elderly group decided we should not ban ourselves because life is short and we will all eventually end up in this waiting room discussing stuff like what’s the best adult diaper, best nurses for drawing blood and insurance grips, they said to enjoy our purses and naked ugly men for as long as we can!

I saw the gold rose Rogue irl and didn't like it at all. It just didn't seem right. It was just too much for me. But then again, I am not into bling and sparkly bags. The blue one is better looking irl. The sparkle is subtle and it can be dressed up or down. @houseof999 is right about the straps. The Rogues do not come with good straps for crossbody. You would need to buy a separate strap or use one you already have that goes well with the Rogue. The bags you have are great, but I would say they have a different vibe than the Rogues. Good luck deciding!
This is so sweet and heart warming.As some of you know, I’m the caretaker for my parents. This morning I had to take my dad for his bloodwork.

Love it! I hope you have a good day, @Chihua5!

OMG! Love it! Bring out the naked ugly men because there's no end to my buying more new bags!
Lol do I ever buy a bag to fill a purpose anymore?
No but the answer to your question is yes. Style 4152 the Soho Bantam backpack is about the same size and convertible like this Parker but you know.. No quilting and no studs. I do have a saddle Rogue 25 with my quilting and rivets. I ordered these yesterday so I'm good for now.
Everything here was over 70% off. Not sure if the canteen will work for me. I might return if my phone doesn't fit.
