My cayenne rockie arrived from ShopBop. I LOVE the color, but unfortunately the pebbles are not up to my standards. One side panel is smooth.I never have luck with ShopBop pebbles. I always end up sending my AW back to them. I should just give up ordering pebbled bags from them.
I ordered a cayenne from AW.com and one from Barneys. Hopefully between the two, I will get a thick pebbled rockie.
I wish I wasn't so darn picky.....I think I've owned too many rocco bags.
I want it to take on vacation with me next week. I think it is so cute with shorts and sandals. I also want to wear it with my white skinny jeans and black spiked Unif flats

Hopefully one of those will be pebbley. I was drooling over one at Barneys last week!

I have a feeling you will keep the one from AW.com. It's the only place I ordered from and got beautiful pebbles.

I ordered my Rocco from Bluefly and the pebs are so so. Good enough to keep though.
I ordered my Fumo Key Holder from Ssense and it's pebble- less, not a one. But the leather is soft as heck.
And lastly got my Fumo Wallet from AW.com and it's full of beautiful pebbles.

So from my experience you will definitely get a keeper from AW.
My fingers are crossed for you. Hopefully you will have it for your vacation and take lots of pics to make us

i'm glad u love the color!! i think you won't be disappointed with the one from aw.com! i remember your black w/ rg rocco is from there and it's the BEST looking rocco in that combo i've seen on here!!! i wish mine was a tad more pebbly on the side panels like yours is, but still love mine nonetheless!! u have two coming so i think you'll find that perfect pebbly rockie!!

Ha. Yeah, I'm sprung! I love the accessories as much as the bag itself. You should totally try a Cayenne Fumo wallet to match your Rockie...

Congrats ce***an! We're pretty much exactly the same size; I really thought the Rockie would look uber-tiny unless you were like, a child - similar to an LV Mini HL or whatever! You wear them well; and love the Cayenne !

Does the zipper style/opening bug you at all, or in comparison to the regular Rocco?

The cayenne is BEAUTIFUL, I'm after a red bag, would seriously consider one of these, better start searching for them in the UK. I've never had an AW, are they difficult to get in to ?

hi lisa! there are differing opinions about the "lunchbox" style zipper of rockie - some people think it's hard to get in and out of, whereas i don't think it is at all! bc of the smaller size of rockie, you can leave the zipper partially unzipped and the bag still keeps its shape just fine. u can reach in and out to get your stuff so easily. HTH!
