For an update guys. I have applied Apple conditioner and then Apple garde rain & stain repellent on my Lilac rocco. It work great. here some pic after I done the job. it does not change the color nor damage the rose gold hardware at all. Very happy with the result. Thank you purse forum for good review and information.
ps. I also tried to run the tap water on my bag and the water just run off my rocco complete, no stain nothing at all.
Thanks for reporting back! You're a brave soul for just sticking it under the tap like that though!
If you buy one of the new bags they have fixed the piping issue (the bags don't have the rolled piping at all any more). I believe all of them made within the past year have the improved edging.
A little off topic here, but is there a hint of yellow on the Birchwood color or more tan/beige/light brown? Thanks!
Any one has quality problem with Rockie? I know old generation of Rocco has the piping problem, but it seems to be corrected and improved in new generation. I am waiting for my black Rockie with rose gold hardware, wondering if it is of better quality since it came out quite lately.
I've had the pleasure of owning both bags and I felt that my Rockie was a little better than the Rocco in quality.
thanks for reply. May I know how do you treat you rockie? I am wondering if three layers of waterproof, conditioner, and edge koter are too much.
Hi,
I've just brought a second hand Rocco bag in a Camel colour which is in the standard AW leather (pebbled look). It's definitely from many seasons ago as there is no strap.
The bag is in really good condition albeit a couple of light denim marks which buyer said would come off with a good leather cleaner.
Does anyone know what type of leather protector and cleaner I should be using? I've read a couple of comments and have noticed that 'Apple Brand' seems to be commonly used, would this be the best bearing in mind the bag is a 'lighter colour'.
I have a Mulberry Alexa in a light brown and use collonil leather gel but obviously do not want to use this on my Rocco in case there is a significant colour change!
Thanks in advance.

i use the apple garde rain and stain repellent on my roccos. from my previous expresson to my black iridescent now, which is kind of a matte leather. should be fine on light colors. i think light colors especially have to be stainproofed.
Hi! I'm new here and need your advice! Considering buying to Rocco in Pony Hair but I was wondering if it's as slouchy looking as the normal pebbled leather ones (slouchy would be preferable, not to keen on it looking super structured). Also, wondering how well it's held up from normal use. I've heard here that the A Wang pony hair bags develop bald spots over time. Debating between the pebbled leather and the pony hair and desperately need some advice! Thanks for your help, ladies!
I don't know if you're going to get much of a response here about this topic. I would say most pony hair bags are prone to getting some bald spots. As far as slouchy, I have seen some pics with it and I think it gets slouchy but not nearly as much as the pebbled Rocco. I would prefer the pebbled leather over the pony hair, I think it's more classic and you'll get more use out of it
I just ordered a navy nubuck rocco off theoutnet.com - I'm terrified it may have the same issues! My tangerine ons from the summer is holding up well though. Should I keep or return the nubuck - is it a nightmare waiting to happen!?
I'm sure you'll be fine. It seems like this was an issue that happened with older versions of the bag, but the newer bags are made without rolled seams so you should be fine.
