Good question! It didn't wow me. I feel the pebbled leather to feel more rich and substantial. It is much lighter in weight but the weight doesn't bother me. I didn't like that one side wasn't as smooth as the other side. It was like it was sagging a little. I don't think I'd look o buy one in smooth leather. Sadly I'm returning but I remember when i saw it in the store that I thought it was unique and loved the smooth leather since I'm a huge fan of the Nomad. Now I don't think I'd want a smooth leather rogue. A lady can change her mind!Oh, bummer it wasn't love. I was tempted but I had a similar feeling about how dark the ivy is. I know I'll get a black rogue sometime in the future (I'm hoping they make something special for the fall) and I also knew once I get a black rogue, I'd never reach for the ivy again.
How do you feel about the smooth leather, regardless?
