My rose gold metallic Rogue 25 arrived. I haven't had a chance to unbox it but I'm not optimistic because in my opinion, the box is smaller than it should be and seems packed in there pretty tight. I'll unpack it as soon as I can and post some photos.

Yay! I just got mine as well.

I love it. I need to see it in the daylight tomorrow but I do love it. These pics do not show the rose like I see IRL. I wonder if the snake handles are what is considered Oxblood color? I need to find out because that is the color I would choose were I ever to do an MTO 25 with python. It blends well in person with my colorblock wristlet I use as a wallet. This will be like nothing else I have and there aren't any other Rogue 25s I am interested in purchasing. Looks like I have spent a mint this week but I love all of them and they were all at least 50% off plus at least 10-14% e-bates. So that makes it a little better right? :)

It is sold out now at NM. I am so impressed with NM packaging and customer service for the two orders this week. Will buy from them again in a heartbeat.

Well, I am glad I set my expectations low. It came from a store, Tysons Corner, rather than the Bloomingdale's warehouse. I can only assume that is what made the difference because I have never had any other issues with anything that I bought from Bloomingdale's having any kind of damage or quality issues. As you can see from the one pic, there are marks on the one side which I don't think are something that would buff out. I may try a little leather conditioner just to see but I think it's a design flaw in that side of the leather. I'm really okay if it doesn't work out. I'm not as wowed by it in person as I was in the store. I guess I just set myself up for disappointment. As I look at it closer, the other side has a really big indentation on the bottom right. Oh well, I've spent enough on other things in the last month so I'm good sending this one back to Bloomingdale's. Oh, and they put it in this large black cloth Bloomies dustbag. No Coach dustbag. It was not to be.

That is a bummer but you don't sound too bummed which is a good thing. Mine did not have all the packaging that yours has but also came from a store in Houston. It was shipped in it's 1941 bag.

You are correct! It's disappointing but again, I got two fantastic Rogues (purple & KH) as well as many other things (too many if I'm honest) so I knew it would have to be perfect & I'd have to just LOVE it to keep it. All good.
It helps that I picked up the Quinn in grey & Charlie in dark berry @ lunch...lol...

What do YOU think if the color and the leather? It really is a rose gold but I'll be danged if I can get a picture that shows it.
 
The handles don't look red like in the glamour photo at all. More brown. Maybe in the sunlight they will be different. There is much more color variation in the python IRL.

No, I totally agree it is NOT cross grain & definitely has a rose tone to it. I do prefer the more pebbled leather though.
I forgot that in anticipation of liking this Rogue, I also picked up this charm...but I love the charm & it'll easily go with my oxblood bags.

I can see where some people might not like the feel of it because it doesn't feel like my other pebble rogues. It is different and flatter but still soft. I think the flatness would have to happen to apply the metallic finish and have it stay permanent? I hope the finish wears well. It is not a touchable leather like my Bandit.
