Catching up on my reveals, I have actually owned this one nearly a month already! I really like the Coach link stuff. The totes and duffles are out of my price range, even during the SAS, but when the Coach link Dinkys hit 50% off, it made it hard to resist. After careful consideration of the size of it, I decided to go ahead and get this Dinky! It is actually a good size for a night out, fits a slender and/or small wallet, keys, phone and another small item. Got it during the 4th of July segment of the SAS at 50% off, price marked on the tag was an earlier markdown. I will enjoy this bag. :)IMAG0816.jpgIMAG0821.jpgIMAG0823.jpgIMAG0828.jpg

Really cute! I like the links too. I had looked at the green link tote when it was in SAS but talked myself out of it since open topped totes are not my favourite :)

I came back from my vacation today and the red Rogue 25 (the bag I had bought a couple weeks ago with my birthday money) was waiting for me. It is beautiful and in excellent condition (and timely with the main pages post about bright red bags being the Fall 2017 trend) but it is not looooove. Not like with my Chalk Rogue 25, anyway. I can't even explain why because the colour really is great, and of course I love the size of the Rogue 25. It just does not give me that "squeeeeeee!" I felt when I opened the Chalk Rogue 25. I think in part it is because I am a bit of a sucker for the contrast handles/straps etc. like on my other Rogues. It is not cheap to ship back from Canada, but I am just going to return it. I just can't keep things I don't love, or don't at least find useful (it won't fill any space missing in my collection since I have the Chalk one). I considered exchanging it for the black, but I could use that $800 Canadian to go towards paying for another July purchase I made.

Even though I am not keeping, I thought I would post a picture of her next to my Chalk Rogue 25 :)

That is a shame but I guess it is nice to have the money back. If I lived near you, I would relieve you of the burden of having to carry that gorgeous bag! I don't have a Rogue yet, but I'm a sucker for red and I think the 25 is a great size for me.

The 25 is a great size. I do like red, and I think I would feel very differently about this bag if there was some contrast in it, or if the hardware was maybe brass instead of the black :)

That red color is quite beautiful but, like you, I'm a sucker for the contrast as well. It would look much better with black handles IMO.

I understand. It's funny because I love the butterscotch rogue but dislike the oxblood handles AND navy suede interior, although individually I love all the colors. For me it's too many contrast colors. [emoji6]

Ha, and that is one of things I love about my Butterscotch - I find it is easier to wear because there are more options to "pick up" on. Ditto with the Olive. It is good there are options for both of us!

I can join the contrast club too. What sold my on my patchwork rogue was the bright orange suede inside.

I wish too that the handles were black on my regular size red rogue. I've added a few black charms for a nice pop and thinking about using the black shoulder straps from another rogue. The stitching will not match though and will probably drive me too crazy.

Umm...hello...that's gorgeous. All of it. Honestly, the black charms do it (esp Rexy ;) ) you don't even need black handles. I like the beast print cosmetic case and the wallet too. I saw the wallets in person and they're really nice. Man that red rogue + flower + rexy are just striking though. Is there a drool emoji? :drool:

I felt the same way when I ordered the regular size red rogue. I had gotten the whiplash in Prussian and the butterscotch regular size ones during the sale and each time I opened the package it was love.

I ordered the red one because it's a great red, but it didn't wow me so I sent it back. I got the olive to replace it and it wasn't love at first either, but olive has grown on me (its in 3rd place still though. )

I'm wondering if my excitement would have been greater for the red one if it was the first one I had vs the 3rd, like maybe the novelty wore off. I do miss the red one though and had I gotten it half off like the others I probably would have kept it.

I think the trouble with buying multiples is that it's not that exciting after you've already gotten to know the bag because you already know what to expect. I'll guess I'll test that theory as I wait for my 5th dinky (pistachio!) that is enroute.
