My honey suede Ace satchel arrived today! I am very pleased with the condition! The seller made it sound like it was terribly dirty with bad denim transfer marks but it really isn't that bad! The handles are definitely dirty but on the underside and not sure how you can prevent that since they are suede. There is a small area on the lower right front of the bag and then another one on the back but overall, I'd say the bag is in Good condition and not Poor and venturing on Very Good. I'll see what I can do for cleaning and decide if I want to send out to have professionally cleaned. I felt the price of the bag was a great deal to then maybe invest in a good cleaning. I think they can bring this one back to like new condition!

The bag is soft so it tends to slouch more. I don't normally use a shaper but may on this one just to keep its shape a little more.

Based on my experience, I wouldn't buy Kiwi suede cleaner. It left rings on the suede. I think soapy water or vinegar is safer. You can use a suede brush or a nail brush or a light sanding block, but if you do make sure you don't use any sandpaper that is colored. Sometimes lightly sanding is enough to remove surface stains.

Thanks, Whateve! I have a suede brush like the one the woman who had the Gucci nubuck bag in her YouTube video. I'm going to try that first and see how it goes. The handles are probably not going to clean up well as they not only see dirt but the oils from your hands absorbing in to the suede. At least it is the bottom of them that shows the dirt so only I will know it is there!

Wow so cool! I love the honey suede color! I think honey is the color suede inside my black rogue and honestly it’s my fav part of the bag [emoji1]

It looks great in this style and I agree, looks better than described. I tend to describe my bags worse than they are when selling so the buyer tends to be surprised when they receive it. I’d rather that than the opposite and it’s worse than they expected [emoji23]

I love them. Today, my SA showed me so many bags in their special book. There was a picture of the Dumbo hand tag. Also, there were pictures of the top handle kisslock bag and I really cute one with the Dalmatians on it. Also, there is a crossbody/should kisslock bag. Also, a picture of the Dumbo barrel bag was in the book.
 
I just received this in the mail, to keep my black 36 company! I love these big guys. :biggrin:

Dark Denim with snakeskin trim Rogue 36

It came from another Canadian store, since coach refuses to ship products with exotic leather over the border (makes no sense to me when the stores can have the product, but whatever). Thankfully, it's in good shape!

I only wish the suede was a cooler colour to go with the dark hardware and grey snake. Burgundy would have looked perfect. I wonder why they went with the yellow?

In any case, I'm happy to have this. I just love 36s!

Congrats! I love Rogue 36 and would be so happy to add this one to my collection. I might sell my 1941 Saddle color Rogue 36 to purchase this one.
