How do you like size 39?
I love it. I think it’s a perfect size. It reminds me of the large borough and the shoulder straps are so comfortable. I wasn’t sure about the bag in the store but when I brought it home and placed my essentials to it it slouched little and the shape is just perfect. Debating if I should get one in black or grey

I have to say I was somewhat disappointed when I first saw it because the leather just doesn’t seem quite the same as that on my dark denim one. Also, the grain is much smaller. And Just not as soft and sleek. Leather conditioner helped a little. What’s really bothering me though is that one of the suede pockets is a little rippled in one area. It’s less so when being carried, and more pronounced when just sitting. There is another one in one of our area coach stores but it’s downtown and a pain to get to. I am starting to love it though. I love the color with the burgundy interior and glazing. Not sure what to do!
 
A0455C9D-8BD5-4713-B62A-DE25890DA951.jpeg Actually there isn’t a light saddle anywhere around me now...JAX has about 50 left but I could get one with other issues if I try to exchange sight unseen. Is it normal for the suede to ripple a little bit? My other rogue doesn’t have that issue.

Update:
I drove to my usual store and they did have a light saddle in stock even though Coach.com said they didn't. It was pretty much perfect, so I exchanged! As soon as I took it out of the bag the SA said something looks off about that one. The grain on one side was so tiny, and flat looking, that it almost looked like it had been ironed on one side! The new one has perfectly smooth suede pockets and the leather looks and feels much better.
 
That's close to what I've got in mind, but maybe a shade darker with a redder undertone. If I'm going to take the plunge on my first brown bag, I'm going to be overly picky and high maintenance about it. LOL

They had the darker saddle color at my store tonight, but with the burgundy suede (the older ones had orange suede). It was pretty but I didn't like the dark yellow thread with it as much.

Glad you got a better one!

My Ivy Rogue has a flatter grain on one side, I guess it’s considered the front since that side arrived with the fobs attached to it. I actually put the fobs on the other side and the smooth side is now the back. I actually don’t mind it! The leather on my Ivy is stiffer and it doesn’t slouch much which I prefer haha My Washed Red Rogue is very smooshy leather and it came pre-slouched [emoji23] I kind wish it was as stiff as Ivy. I have a Dusty Rose Rogue on the way and I’m curious to see the leather. I’m crossing my fingers it is like my Ivy lol.

I'm glad you got one that is much better! I haven't seen any that ripple like that. BTW, I find that Coach.com stock can't be reliable. I've looked at something and don't see it in a store near me but when I go to the store, they have it! Maybe because it is the display item so it won't register for stock or their stock is just one left besides display. Again....this is Coach we're talking about! Their systems could use some help to be more informative to customers.

She brought it out all wrapped up from the back. The light saddle does have a smaller and flatter grain than my denim rogue, but I still like it. The one I had earlier today was definitely funky! And I forgot to mention, it seemed really uneven as well. It wasn't just that one side slouched more than the other. It just seemed uneven.

I stuff mine when not in use to keep it from slouching! I "train" the leather as much as I can. I've had the denim one for about 6 months now and looks new! Post pics when you get the dusty rose!
