I agree with the others here; the 25 rogue in oxblood/black or a more hearty color would be a better long-term choice than Hay. Hay is rather cute right now, but as it picks up stains and general wear and tear, it likely won't age as beautifully as other shades. The 25 is often worn as a crossbody out of convenience, so be prepared for rubbing against jeans and coats.

I think if you've been wanting a Rogue 25, you should get the Rogue 25. The Hay is a nice color and I think it would be versatile - I used to have a Guess bag in a similar color and wore it literally every day, with every outfit. That being said, don't get the Hay just because it's the only color you can get in this bag! Take a look at the color in person and see how you feel about it before deciding. That way you reduce the chance of making a purchase you'll regret later.

I'm a satchel girl, but I do prefer the Rogue to the satchel many times over. The hay is a gorgeous color. I personally use any color any time of year. If that is your happy color, get it and use it whenever you want. [emoji56]
The best thing to do is to see them all in person, put your things inside, and try it out in the store. Good luck!
Don't forget to share pics of what you choose. [emoji4]

Hay is more of a statement bag and the rouges seem very practical. They'd work all year round whereas Hay would be a seasonal color for me. But happy birthday! Whatever you pick it'll look awesome

You've gotten a lot of great advice. Another thing to think about is if you are OK with two shoulder straps or one. The Rogue has two shoulder straps and sometimes one will slip off your shoulder (at least that happens to me). The Satchel only has the one but it can't be carried as close to your armpit as I prefer because there aren't enough adjustment holes to make it a shorter length. I was also bothered by how heavy and large even the smallest satchel was. I had bought a satchel during the sale but ultimately returned it because I felt it was really too large and I wouldn't reach for it that much. It does sound like you really want the Rogue 25 as that is what you mentioned first. I think that hay colored one with the snake handles is absolutely adorable. I would carry it any time of year if I had it. I just don't have a lot of light colored bags, I have mostly bases of blues, pinks, browns, black, green (and only one yellow!). If you want a different color rogue 25 that is on sale, you could always ask your SA to order you (or you could do it yourself online) a Rogue 25 in Azure. I saw one in person and it is really beautiful, it is also just under $300 due to the sale.

Same here I love the rogue but not the satchel style at all I ordered one and sent it straight back too heavy and just didn't look or feel right on me

The second one. Gorgeous color.

I personally love both satchels especially the oxblood. But, since you've been wanting a 25 for a while, you should choose it.

I like the first one!
