The black is definitely harder to get. The gray one is still available in some stores and online. I will keep the black one, honestly. It is super pretty with the tooled roses!
Much prefer the black. Would want it myself if it were still available...
I think so, too. The black looks more sophisticated; is that the right word?
I think so! There’s something classy about the silver and black look. I love the gray, too, and just added it to my collection. If I could get my hands on the black, though... look out!
I’m in the minority and prefer the gray [emoji23] But I don’t think you can lose here, they are both lovely.
Given the choice of black or gray, I’d always choose gray. Gray has a little more of a sophisticated feel to me? I love gray paired with other colors. I know black technically matches everything but for me it is “harsher.” Same reason I’d choose gold jewelry over silver tone, gold like gray has more life to it for me.
I wear a lot of browns, olive, mauves, earth tones and I like gray with these type of colors. I do read that a lot of people that wear brighter and more jewel tones like black bags. So maybe take your wardrobe into consideration too [emoji1]
That is a tough and close call. I purchased the gray one for my daughter, and she loves it. I did see the black one in real life, months ago, and I didn't consider it, because back then, I thought the 25 size was too small for my needs, and I was iffy on the metal flowers on the bag for some reason that I no longer remember. I think I like the tea roses better in all leather with just a metal stud in the center.
Looking at the side-by-side comparison in your picture, I think they are both lovely choices, and it is very hard to choose one over the other. That said, if the old black and pink tea rose Rogue 25 were still available, I would chose that one over the two in your picture in a heartbeat. I am so bummed that I missed out on that one. As I have the purple Rogue 25, I now know I can wear that bag in the smaller size.
Thank you for the thoughtful and thorough reply. You make some good points! Yes, I do like jewel tones and they suit me better than most pastels and softer colors. My life is more casual than formal; I’m home with my children. I wanted a TR bag specifically because of beauty and versatility; can dress it up or down. Now, I hunted down that black bag and am thrilled to have it, but the gray drew me first. I got the gray at a fantastic price and I think about $ saved, too. I asked two friends about these and each likes a different bag. On another note, when taking the pics, I noticed the gray is taller and slimmer than the black, which I find interesting. It is about 1/2” taller, and 1/2” less deep.
