As I look forward to fall (I am trying to manifest cooler weather), I'm currently looking to add a suede bag to my collection. I already have a Coach Rogue from 2018 in burgundy suede but I would love to add a brown suede bag to my fall rotation. If you're curious, I also filmed a video comparing the two bags.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and this bag looks amazing no matter how you carry it. I usually prefer to carry my bags by the top handle or crossbody, but for the Rogue I think top handle looks best. Especially in suede.
The bag comes with additional straps to carry as a shoulder bag or crossbody. I do think it looks nice as a shoulder bag but I would worry about the handles causing imprints on the suede. You can tuck them into the pockets, but it could still leave imprints.
This is a medium size bag and doesn't overwhelm my petite frame.
The crossbody strap is fairly wide and comfortable to carry as a crossbody bag. The length is adjustable. I have it on the shortest setting.
Let's take a closer look at the bag.
The updated design does have some notable differences. Coach brought back the lock and key/clochette which I am thrilled about. Previously this was only available on the first generation Rogue. The suede isn't as nice as I expected. This bag is brand new out of the box and you can see the suede already looks a little fuzzy. Over time with use, I think it would become even more fuzzy.
I love that they added the lock back to the updated design.
The handle drop is 3.75".
The bag comes with two hangtags all in suede and the clochette/lock combo.
I love that they added magnetic closures. You can style this bag in different ways depending on which magnets you use. (This is demonstrated in the video.)
Another updated feature is an added slip pocket within the outer pocket.
This is only on one side.
The pull tabs are also made in suede. I can see this being a major point of wear over time. I love the leather that lines the outer pockets. It feels absolutely luxurious and I wish Coach would use this kind of leather on a bag.
Inside lining is cotton.
Overall, I love the updates they made, however I wish they used better suede. It does feel soft, but I am not a fan of the fuzzies, especially on a brand new bag. It already looks a bit used. Price is $795, which I think is a very good price for this bag. I ended up returning it because I still preferred my burgundy suede Rogue. That's it for me and I hope you all have a wonderful start to a brand new week!

Love that bag on you! It doesn’t look too big even though it’s a big bag. I’m so excited. I finally picked up the lulu waffle full zip scuba in porcelain pink. I can’t wait for wmtm anymore. Kicking myself for not getting mink berry when it got marked down. I wasn’t thrilled about the price but it’s gonna be my bday gift to myself. I’m getting used to the long sleeves trend as it seems to be long even on the 5’9 models. Anyway porcelain pink looks a bit purple in the waffle fabric. Still deciding on whether or not to keep it.

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I love the Waffle Scuba. I have it in the gray and beige? I cannot remember the names anymore. But I wear them all the time and the sleeves don't bother me since you can push them up. I debated the pink too, but I think I am happy with the ones I have! Enjoy and Happy Birthday!
