Hi ladies! I have a question...i'm seriously considering splurging on a rocco mini, but i'm concerned about the handles. they seems so small and as a bigger girl, i'm afraid it will look awkward on me. I don't want to spend so much money on something that won't be a good 'fit' for me...but i've been lusting over this bag for ages. i think it's just me being my usual apprehensive self. i can never spend money without feeling extremely guilty about it (even when i can afford it!).

so can any bigger girls out there who have this bag put my mind at ease?

Hey everyone!!! can anyone out there please PLEASE comment/compare the new laser cut leather black rocco with the pebble leather?? I have already purchased the laser cut from net-a-porter, because I could not find the other one, but I realize that there are a few places selling them. What do you all think? I always loved the pebbly one...what is the laser cut like in comparison? it looks much duller in the picture...

Awww I am so sorry! :hugs:
Call Barbara at Lovinmybags ( check out their website too ) ....
Her hubby Gary is amazing at fixing bags, I have sent many bags to them and they came back better than new.
I would not try a DIY on this one.
It may just dry and be invisible tho, my Forest has gotten very wet and dried beautifully.....
But if not I bet LMB can help!

I'm so sorry this happened to you! Someone spilled Red Bull on my brand new grey rocco it had a huge stain! I used a wet (not too wet!) tissue and tried to remove the stain. First it didn't look better but the morning after the stain was gone! May be this helps...

My cat peed on my week old luggage rocco. All over it. I actually felt like I was having a panic attack when I found it. Now I just feel sad. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this? Is it just dead?

One of my blogger friends got the laser cut one recently off of Barney's for more than half off! I love how subtle it is, and at first I thought it was meshy rather than actual leather strips! I like it better than the regular pebbled black leather Rocco because it seems like this one slouches better. Check out some of her pics: http://www.missnonhuman.com/2010/07/alexander-wang.html

Hope this helps!

bagachondriac - I havent gone back to read yet, did you keep your grey Rocco?

To answer the questions re: conditioning - no, I didnt condition my bag, I have an applegard conditioner, but I'm too afraid to use it.

Hi, haven't been on this thread for a while but had a question for owners of dyed rocco's (eg forest green)

I was in barney's coop today and noticed that with the forest green rococo there were faded spots on the tips of the pebbled leather in spot, as if the dye had rubbed off on the areas of wear. Has anyone seen or experience this yet with their bags?? I ended up getting the navy Diego, but was nervous about getting the super lumpy version (the poor SA had to get me three bags before I was happy - got one with just the right amount of pebble for me ).
