Yesterday my Rock Me in Petrol Glossy from the limited leather sale arrived. I can also be practical, so I was thinking if the style did not suit me, I knew a girl loving blue's!

BUT..no worries..I like this style...so now I must hide it!
It'll be in one of the top three BEs for me!

It's a big bag for sure..it's nice and roomy ..a bit wider on the top than the bottom..it does not weigh too much ..I really like the snap closure pocket; it's very easy to access..and I really, really like that the bag looks quiet and not too flashy!

The Petrol Glossy is a leather made of steel

.....OMG..it's hard as rock and when one of- the -now- not- so- little pups tried to grab one handle for a little test bite, I feared the worst. But - no bitemarks at all...lol

The leather will relax with time..lots of time.

Two things with the bag I would like to add to suit my needs..a messenger..this option will for a person in a cyckling country be most useful..especially when this person bikes a lot!

.

...And I would also like that the outer pockets went all the way down so I could have my waterbottle placed in near reach

..yeah, I'm lazy!

But alltogether a great bag!!

Oh, so pretty, Bonnie! The color is gorgeous and the style looks great! I love that the front pocket snaps, I didn't realize it did for some reason! Thanks for the review! Any chance of modeling pics?

bonniekir · Oct 2nd, 2009, 10:08 AM

Thank you, Bonnie! I totally understand! My dd's are finally old enough and woman sized that I can use them as my model 'victims' too!!

LOL!

Oh! I didn't realize that the top flared wider like that. I love it! Looking forward to modeling pictures :).

What a superb bag - now wonder you were so immediately delighted with it. I love your clever choice of leather; the subtle colour really makes the bold styling show up.

TejasMama · Oct 2nd, 2009, 10:38 AM

This is really gorgeous! So, is this the midi or the full size? I thought the midi had the silver accent. The petrol glossy was a smart choice--very beautiful but not overt for attention, does that make sense? Fabulous.

Odebdo · Oct 2nd, 2009, 11:58 AM

I love it!!!

I have wanted to see this bag IRL...and to see it in petrol glossy...YAY!! My favorite!!

Can't wait for your modeling pics!!

Enjoy your new bag!!
