Yes the raised lip around the edge on your bag. The pic you showed looks exactly like mine. I'm glad that's normal then. Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you all for your help and your responses! You're all awesome! As I said I have Coach bags but all are zippered or turnlock closures. This is my first magnetic closure bag. I usually don't like magnetic closures on bags but I loved this bag so much and had to get it! So when I saw that I was upset and thought I'd have to send it back. Yall have made me happy and excited again with my bag!!!
Just wanted to toss in one more "normal", and yes, it does indeed help it stay closed better in my experience. Nor is it a new idea to Coach, either ... I have a Madison Annabelle from some years ago with that type of lip, and it's always held very well.
My new to me Bleecker Flap in wine. Got this for ridiculously cheap and it was in amazing condition before I even conditioned it! Love the strap on this one too:
Hi ladies, I need some opinions about my new Rogue 36. I’m coming up on the last week I can exchange it. I’ve had it hanging, hoping some creases would get better, and for the most part, I think I can live with them now. There’s a part on the back that I’m not sure how to describe, so I’m posting a picture.
Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make it better? Should I exchange it? Am I just being too picky? They told me I’d have to pay return shipping since it would be my second exchange, and my concern is that I’ll keep getting worse bags.

That looks like veining from the animal skin itself. Its really personal preference, if it's going to bother you, I'd try again.
Thank you, I figured it might have a name, but I certainly didn't know it! When I put more stuffing in it, I didn't notice it, so it just might stay.
Veining is normal, in my opinion it's beautiful! I think people forget leather isn't a man made material, it's not perfect, it's a real skin. it has minor flaws that make it unique. Leather over time softens and creases making it even more special then the day you got it. Just my opinion but I hope you keep the bag, 36 is a great size and I think you'll get use out of it for years to come
I used to be bothered by veining/scars (still even knowing it was a hide), but now I'm not as critical of it. I appreciate it now (don't know what changed haha) because I think of the animal who had it and their life and how they got the scars, etc. Unless the veining is just so prominent it kind of ruins the look of the bag or looks like a glaring defect, I embrace them. Keeps me from doing as many returns and I feel more respectful of the animal whose hide I am using to lovingly carry all my things. As sappy as it sounds.
Love the look of the scrumptious leather - plain and unlined leather is boring - I think it looks luxurious but you have to go with your gut.
Thank you! You’re right about stuffing it more. I did that yesterday, and it already looks a lot better to me.
Gorgeous. I am looking for something in this shade. Thanks for an excellent photo. Lol, there have been a lot of these circulating on the Rehab thread.
