Yes, I meant Oxblood suede lining. I only notice the smell when my bags are stored for awhile. When I use them I don’t smell anything. I store my other rogues the same way and for long period time and they don’t have that smell.
I was at the store last night and honestly, I was a bit disappointed with how the leather looked on the rogues on sale. They seem to be more prone to wrinkling and are softer so get more slouchy but not in a good way - more in a cheap leather way. I saw the washed red and the marine and was disappointed with how sloppy they looked like the quality in general (leather and sewing) have gone down. There were spots where the leather looked buckled near the side seam like the sewing was poor. I don't remember this on the older generation rogues.
Coach seems to raise their prices but gets cheaper with quality. I saw the newer Edie in the store and that, too, felt cheap. Almost like it was plasticky leather and not nice glovetanned leather. I was surprised, though, that I liked the Cooper! I saw it initially in the grey suede and didn't care for it but the black and bordeaux? color in smooth glovetanned are substantial and elegant! I didn't see it in the marine which is part of the SAS but I think in this style, I'd like a more classic color. I'm leaning toward the bordeaux with black being a second choice. I really don't have any black sophisticated work bags. Personally, I don't consider the rogue a bag that goes well with suits say in a financial industry. I feel the pebbled leather is a more casual look but that is my opinion.
My local store had one double swagger and I was glad to see it. I was curious about it myself. It looks a little wide on the models but not that wide in person but guess it depends on you! I'm not a stick model size but I'd say average. I think the measurements online are off. I think the center section measurement is the same as a regular rogue. I think the measurements online don't include a measurement for the side part that juts out so it is a bit wider than the rogue. I don't have a job where I go to the office every day now so it is too structured for me on a non-work basis.
I'm glad I purchased a black Rogue in the first release. Hardware still looks great, and the leather is wonderful. I like the lock and key and wish the Rogue still had them.
Hey I am in the same boat . Which did you picki shouldn't have......but I did.... ordered the marine and the peony. I was so undecided, I figured order them both while they're 30% off. You could always return one
I think they may be coming out with something a little different so let's hope it is even better! I know the inner pouch was an issue for a lot of people. It doesn't bother me too much but things do get trapped at the very bottom under the pouch.
