This is a gorgeous bag, I think the N/S size will look great on you, tho we need some mod pics to be sure! ;)
It does amaze me how poorly some bags are packaged.....I got a bag from Bal Milan, and it literally was in the dust bag in a big box, just banging around in there all the way from Italy. No packing material at all! I was horrified !

Thanks! I sometimes have a problem with really large N/S bags, but this one is great! I'm really sorry to hear you had to deal with that packaging...and such a long distance for it get banged around! :sad: I have to say this kind of packaging happens most of the time I order as of late (NAP was the same way, just the bag down in a dust bag in the box with nothing else), but usually most companies I've ordered from leave packing inside the bag, so it's generally ok unless the box gets wet. I've had some horrible experiences on Ebay, so I started emailing sellers on Ebay to package properly and not try to wad the bag up in too small of a box, etc, which they do to avoid shipping costs. However, IMO it's totally unacceptable for a reputable company to do this! It's not like it's a cheap item either!


Thanks also to everyone else who commented. LOVING this bag!! :tup: I have never really done modeling photos on the forum...I'm kind of shy. :D I should post some good pics of the bag, though, so when I get the chance, I will get out the real camera and do it!

TBH, the studs really are not that noticeable unless you turn the bag up and stare...JMO. However, when I first noticed they were different upon inspection of the bag, I did think Reeses cup, lol, but it doesn't bother me. If you asked me which stud I like better, then yes, I would say I prefer the older ones too. However, to me it's a fairly insignificant point as long as they are the same size and same overall look. :shrugs: Hey, I'll take all the bags you guys don't want, NO PROBLEM!!! :p

baglady39 your bag is beautiful - very envious! i have my eye on getting it in black. Is it an easy bag to use - i.e. easy to wear on the shoulder and is it easy to reach in and get things in and out? Also in terms of weight how does it compare to the Coco and the Diego?

I just received the quilted luggage Rocco and I'm not sure about it. As others have said, it's quite heavy and hangs strangely. It doesn't strike me as a classic bag and for the price I paid on International NAP in sale (still fairly high), perhaps I should return it and just go for a classic bag. I don't think these bags are as well known and popular in the UK, definitely not in Manchester anyway, which is also putting me off as I'll probably tire of it quickly. But I do love the colour and material and I really need a tan bag for the summer that's not extortionately priced and that's why I went for this one as there were no others around for similar price. Perhaps I should wait until it gets reduced further and appears on the outnet? Does anyone else feel the same way as me? Or can anyone convince me?

TXGirlie, you're probably right. I actually do like the material and the quilting and also it's the only style I've seen available in the UK. I just can't put my finger on what my problem is! I think it could be something to do with the bag not being classic in my opinion, as I am more of a Balenciaga/Chanel girl. But at the same time it fits my needs for a tan bag which I seem to be searching for every summer! Just wish it had been cheaper.
