Omg....I just checked my oxblood and have the same problem. I've probably carried it around 5-7 times.
I still have the black python never used, I think I'm going to seriously think about keeping it now.
Oh no! I was hoping it was a freak occurance. I'm so sad it looks like it'll get worse
I think it probably will get worse
Seems like it's a high stress area, and the weight of the bag even empty doesn't help.

The black Python is gorgeous. This became literally my favorite bag and I haven't had it long. I'm so mad.
Me too. Glazing OK, but stitch in that spot may be highest-stress point on the bag Already swappwd one for popped stitch after 1st week. This one holding so far, but watching closely.
I checked my suede one and it seems fine, but I rarely carry it, due to the weight. I was going to start carrying it more since I have it, and it's a nice bag. However, now that I'm hearing others are having issues, I'm so glad I returned the oxblood one, and I'm wondering if I should return the 25 because this issue doesn't seem to be isolated.
I was considering returning the 25 any way because as nice and lightweight as it is, for the amount of times I'd carry it, I just don't feel it's worth the price. And I'm still bummed that it doesn't have a lock.

I don't know... the affected area on mine, IMO is not a high stress area at all. When I hold it by either set of handles there is no pulling on that area... the gusset area right beneath the zipper flange. If anything, that area sort of puckers up due to the slack that's created there from the handles pulling up the sides of the bag. Under no circumstances is that area ever pulled tightly that I can tell.
I have to pull the zipper flange aside to even see the area; it's just where the flange and the top edges on both the side compartments and the gussets all meet up. It just looks like sloppy edge coating due to a lot of complexity with different edges touching/meeting up to me, but it's totally concealed unless I go looking for it and it doesn't look like anything that will tear further if it's just left alone and not picked at.
All the stitching on mine is fine so far.

RedPlanet, that's interesting about the lack of pulling in that area. Didn't someone else have some splitting of the edges of the leather around the tote handle attachment, that just looked like a manufacturing defect? Maybe it's just a quality control problem, not something that really develops with use. Good luck with it anyway!
Anne, I think my 25 might be going back too - I need to return it anyway because of the dings, and I was thinking of swapping the color, but I'm considering not replacing it at all. It's nearly the same useful capacity as my mini Pashli, but it's bigger and heavier. I love the materials, the pockets, the shoulder straps and the styling, but since I can't travel with it (because it doesn't accommodate my iPad), I'm not sure I can justify it either. Minus the lock, it's missing some appeal.
Having said that, I don't anticipate problems with the edge-paint; it looks absolutely perfect, and pretty durable on mine (totally unused as it is). I'd be worried about the lovely dark finish on the hardware showing signs of wear.
That's how I feel, I can't justify the purchase. I know a lock is a simple little detail, but I like it. Again, not the only reason for the return but factors into my decision. I love purses but some I have to admire and move on.
I definitely would return it if it showed up without the lock. This one detail will definitely prevent me from buying another Rogue. The lock might seem insignificant, but it is not to me!
Hi! Just wondering how you get invited to these sale events? I just bought my first Coach in years about a month ago, and now I'm hooked. A little sale/PCE would be nice...
