Hmm...I may bring it up to my SA then. I always feel guilty exchanging expensive bags for an issue that may be normal, but bothers me. For this price point, I need to be 100% satisfied. I'm playing around with all of my Rogues now and I don't think the leather on the tea rose is any thinner, it's just softer. Knowing that it'll softer with use, I'm afraid it'll really start slouching on the bottom.

Hmm...I may bring it up to my SA then. I always feel guilty exchanging expensive bags for an issue that may be normal, but bothers me. For this price point, I need to be 100% satisfied.

I don't know if this is the case here, but when I was purchasing my Rogue 36, the SA brought out several for me to choose from. One of them had a noticeably "saggy bottom". The leather bottom actually touched the table instead of being held up properly by the metal feet like with the other 2 she showed me. I think it might have been a customer return and they had placed heavy objects inside?
I'm fairly confident mine wasn't a return, as my store just got the bag. Either way, I think I'm going to take it in to see if they might have at least another one to compare it to.
When I set it down, only the very middle of the bottom touches the surface, but my other Rogues do that too. It's just once I put as little as a wallet and keys in it, it sags while carrying.
I just cheated on my Coach SA. I walked into VonMaur to do my recon in the purses and my SA had to show me some new things they got in. And where does she lead me... to the Rogues they just got in today. They had the 25 black tea rose with pink and the petal pink with snake. I grabbed the petal pink and ran! They also had some dinkys. I had put it on my wishlist because my purchases have been out of control. I will now be in my timeout chair for a while.
Congrats! Post pictures! I think there's only been one other petal/snake Rogue reveal here. I haven't seen this one in person yet, but it looks beautiful!
Here she is! It's a nice soft pink. The website photos make it brighter than in real life. My camera is kind of crappy.
Upon closer inspection I found a flaw in the leather on the front. Not sure if it's enough to make me return it. It's the only one they had. I can't even get a good pic of it but it's definitely a spot that's not pink. I can't tell if it's just a spot were the color didn't take because it doesn't look or feel like a scratch in the leather.
The chain is sold separately. You can choose shiny black or matte black. I paid $45 CDN.
Oooh she's pretty! Congrats!
I might need to see her irl.
Saw this in person today and it's gorgeous[emoji175][emoji175][emoji175]but I also like
the LV [emoji51]I prevent saggy bottoms on my bags by using an insert. You can have them custom made in the size you need or make them yourself. If you have the means to cut plexi glass or a thick plastic those are good inserts. I don't have a way so I use a thick piece of cardboard....I actually use Coach shipping boxes, they work great and I use the piece with the horse and carriage logo on it for my Coach bags. Once I have the right shape I cover it with laminating sheets. No more saggy bottoms.
