I was considering one of these and found this one at the outlet. For the price, it came home with me.

That's awesome! May I ask, how much it was / where you bought it / do you know if there's more? As you can tell I'm eyeing them too haha
Finally my patchwork rogue is here. Was super disappointed when they sold out earlier in the sale but then they came back a few days ago. Mine was shipped from a store (not sure if it was on display or anything). Everything about it is great and it looks so pretty irl but I saw a scratch on the back side (on the green patch, last photo). That is a pretty closeup pic in bright light so I'm not sure if I'm being a paranoid perfectionist who is looking for any flaw. Is that a big deal? How perfect is every new bag purchased? Also does that just mean the non pebbled leather will wear very poorly and scratch easily? It's something I was worried about before ordering. I know they're completely sold out already and mine was a good price but I'm conflicted since I don't let myself buy many bags in general (this sale got me though haha). Any opinions welcome! Feel free to call me silly

I'm in a somewhat similar position as you. Once I saw the patchwork rogue pop up on the site I snagged one and mine just arrived. Overall it looks awesome, but there's some slight wear on the feet of the bag and a very faint mark on one of the lighter patches....which really isn't the end of the world, but it did give me pause. It's an expensive bag (even on sale) and I want to make sure I'm totally happy with it. When I did consider returning it, I knew I'd kick myself for letting the bag get away since I loved it so much. So I've decided to keep it.
That scratch looks pretty faint to me, but at the end of the day you have to be totally happy with your decision. For me, I knew that if I returned the bag I'd probably end up regretting it.
I am curious to hear if anyone can chime in regarding the durability of the non-pebbled leather. I'm assuming it's more likely to show scratches, so if you tend to be rougher on your bags that might be something to factor into your decision.

Yes, smooth leather will show scratches more easily but often finer ones can be rubbed out with your clean finger (the warmth brings up the oils in the leather) or some leather conditioner.
I also compare the scratches on smooth leather to like the scratches on platinum - over time it develops a soft, lived-in characteristic patina. It is just a different look and trait that you either embrace, or that drives you crazy. All depends on the person
Thank you for the info! I like your comparison to the patina platinum gets over time...I love that look!Yes, smooth leather will show scratches more easily but often finer ones can be rubbed out with your clean finger (the warmth brings up the oils in the leather) or some leather conditioner.

My thoughts exactly! I think we got the last of those bags. They sold out so quickly that they put up the ones remaining in store back online. Seems like there was only a handful because they said only 2 were left when I bought mine and they're not 'restocking again' (assuming the assistants know this). It's a great size, beautiful design, the orange on the inside is awesome too. I rubbed that scratch a bit with fingers + leather conditioner which I think helped a little. At this point I'm pretty sure the more I look at it the worse it gets haha, it's all in my head. I'm still deciding on mine, but I'm glad you're keeping yours, enjoy it!
I have the large Carly in black leather and always loved how thick and durable this line's leather was. I was on the lookout for a slouchy red shoulder bag and came across this beauty for $40 on ebay. So excited to have it!
Ooo congrats on the great score! The Carly was my first re-introduction to Coach. I loved it so much I have it in the large, the top handle, and the demi! Enjoy!
Couple of Coach sale goodies delivered to the office today. I love them... perfect for throwing in a larger bag & grabbing just the clutch with necessities when needed. It fits my iPhone 6+ (out of its lifeproof case), money, Id & cards easily.
The inside is pink - just a slightly different more muted shade as you can hopefully see in the picture. The leather on these is softer than I anticipated & I'm loving it!
