It's kind of you to say that, thx! The glue is similar to Krazy Glue (strong adhesives), and you can apply it with a small included brush, as part of the screw on cap. It's not messy like Elmers thin glue, but you DO have to be cautious to not get it on your skin -- I ALMOST glued two fingers together!!

I had tried to grab the Rocket model (red suede, rocketship) but it was too popular and sold out immediately. I have searched the entire internet for that rocketship model and have yet to see even ONE, anywhere! It kind of became an obsession to own one.

So I've finally taken matters into my own hands and created my own "Frankenstein" style hybrid of a Rocketship Patch Rogue.

If you're interested in how I managed to remove the original patch (don't want to bore you), let me know and I'll post it separately. But in a nutshell, i added my own combo of various Coach hangtags, the two Large Rocket Purse Charms, and faux gem squares from an old necklace that I disassembled for this purpose. I used a Krazy Glue type ad as the adhesive and it's technically still drying -- I just finished a few minutes ago, but was eager to post my pics.

This Rogue will be fun to wear in just about any situation other than a formal event! It should fit in well with everyone else's majorly embellished purse exteriors that all designers are trending now. It uplifts my mood just looking at it, haha.

WOW! The bag looks awesome. I would like to know how you removed the Bear patch. I bought the same bag and loved the color so much but that bear... I couldn't talk myself into wearing it; so, I returned it.

THX!

I'm curious, had you originally tried to grab one of the other designs from that Runway show, or did you love the orange handles enough to buy it? I DO love the handles. The Bear just doesn't cut it -- unless you're a toddler :lol:.

I'll post later with a few details of how I removed it.

I see...you really do have a LOVE/HATE relationship with Totes, haha. I understand...I have to give you credit once more for inspiring me to get MY Tote. Your posted pic was the catalyst -- here we go with the "enabler" comments again, huh? :lol:

And thanks for your kind words about my DIY creation!

I'm back on the love boat...purchased the tote again & am bound & determined to keep it! I swear...Coach makes me lose my facilities! Usually the fall stuff is what breaks me...i need to start ebaying some older stuff to replenish my funds!
Again, thats why i think your bag is so cool. You took something you were on the fence about & made it 100% you. Now you love it! That's just great!

:lol: You really crack me up -- I can relate, changing my mind constantly -- glad you got a new one, which color, did you get the grey again? I think your TOTE issue is similar to my Custom Order issue -- I STILL don't know if I'll ever order one -- not in the immediate future anyway.

Re: being on the fence about my Bear Rogue, don't forget I bought that like a year ago -- my return window ended ages ago -- i actually think my love of those neon orange handles is why I hung onto it.

Yep, grey again. If I really like it, I may do the burgundy one closer to fall. I figure the chances of anything 1941 (other than really old styles) being included in any sales is slim to none so I should snag it now. I do know there is a sale coming in early March. If by some miracle, these are included, I'll get a price adjustment.
Have you carried yours yet? I really want to get a good trial run in...only then will I truly be sold.

Ohhh very late reply but do you mind sharing the specifics on how you removed the bear patch? Did it leave a mark. Different situation for me is I want to make a varsity rogue onto a bear rogue.
