I'm in the rogue club!!!
Now let's just say the following:
1. I thought they shipped the bag with someone inside it because it was so heavy!
2. For $1500, there is something to be desired (writing that number doesn't make me feel nauseous, which is a shocking development and no doubt contributable to TPF). When I ordered over the phone, the price I was given was $1400 (I asked
twice). The price sticker was ripped off the cardboard tag, so I think this bag was originally $1400.
Coach 1941 box was slightly ripped in the corners. I save boxes for everything, so a bit annoyed.
I just know that if this bag were to cost anymore than $1500, I would not have even considered it. There are a few scratches, but I don't notice it as much because of the golden brass "lived in" metalwear. This is a positive! Heavy, substantial zippers and pulls, but the suede lining and python didn't impress me so much for some reason.
Linen interior is much nicer in person. Still dislike the kisslock as I have no use for it. There is no key fob chain in the Tea Rose Rogue. The black shoulder handles are cushioned on one side and provide extra strap comfort.
3. I wish the exterior suede side "pockets" had magnets to keep them closer to the bag, but the added weight of such a proposition scares me. I folded the python handles down into these pockets to streamline.
Overall, I love this bag! I keep staring at it out of the corner of my eye.
Definitely worth the 3 bags I recently gave away in my collection and then some.
