i paid about $485~ USD on shopbop (before it went back up to the $612~)!!!

AND GUYS, I'm panicking right now and super excited because the postman came on the 20th with a package but my sister and I weren't home so he left one of those notices on the door which my mom came home to and DECIDED NOT TO TELL ME, omg. So I could've had my Rocco for two days now! I'm picking it up tomorrow morning!!!

I just had to let fellow Rocco lovers know my pain.. haha
 
^ lol, we're so crazy :p
It's the grey baby!!!

And I was really expecting it to come closer to August 2nd which was the last day for it to arrive (on the site), so I'm not prepared at all! I won't even really be able to use it until next week probably, when I get the Apple Garde and everything, gahhh :chatty: <-- that's supposed to be a "going-crazy-and-super-busy" emoticon.

pradapiggy..the baby was $485 during the extra 20% off sale. I got the mini which was $612. You did get the baby....correct? I love this color..probably more than my black one. Congrats...I know how excited you are. :yahoo:
 
lol, yup bagachondriac, I guess it was $485, I don't remember exactly... just that it was in the 400s, lol!

ANYWAY, I picked it up today AND, it's gorgeous!!! I love it! The only thing I'm a little sad about, if anything, is that the baby is a LITTLE small for me. It's like the LV Speedy 25.. but the straps are perfect for being held by hand or in the crook of the arm. ALSO, it's surprisingly light!! I was expecting it to be heavier, what with the reviews/complaints and the studs.

And yes, my bag was also delivered in a fairly flat box, squished in a plastic bag. I'm glad it had tissue paper inside where the studs are and in the bag itself. The leather is super soft and smooth -- not as pebbly as I expected.. maybe the black is different?
And the colour is definitely not like the lavenderish 2009 greys... it's more like the transition between the 2010 and 2009 greys (more dove grey, with a hint of lavender).

I am sooo excited to share photos tomorrow (because it's dark and rainy right now and my house light won't be able to capture its true colour)!!! Unfortunately I won't be able to carry it out for a while until I get the Apple Garde (which is the most recommended, I'd assume?) to protect my bag before I begin carrying it with oily hands and such.

Hi Girls, I am somewhat new here but have been reading everyday. i just LOVE Alexander Wang! His Bags and I just ordered his Sigrid boots. My wallet is not at all happy with me. I need help! haha I have the Mini in Black/Brass and I love it.

I am longing for the gray/silver but can't pay full price. Bagachondriac, I know you got yours at Shopbop, I just called there to see if they had any that were not on the site. No luck. IF anyone sees one anywhere can you let me know please. I usually check the site daily or you can PM me so then I will get an email and know to check.

Pradapiggy, I can't wait to see your pics tomorrow. I love seeing everyones pictures!
 
i can't believe all of the amazing prices you all paid for your roccos!!!! <3 I paid u.s. 875 from lagarconne.com for my mini with strap, how did you guys get it on sale?? was the mini with the strap on sale? I am so happy we all have our roccos !! :)
 
liz 1 - OH! A blogger is actually selling her lightly used 09 mini grey/silver Rocco!! It's written in Norwegian, but you can use the Language Tools/Translation on Google to translate the page or the entry, but she's asking for 4000 NOK which is about 650 USD.

amandacasey - I KNOW, I was so lucky! I just happened to browse the site cuz I was bored and BAM! Saw it there, slept on it for a while, and then made the plunge to buy it! I mean, the price was just too good to pass up--you can not get Alexander Wang bags for that cheap in Canada! Where in Canada do you live anyway? Oh, and mine doesn't have the strap, but I don't mind.
 
I live in Toronto!!! We cannot even get them in Canada!! I had to go to lagarconne.com, and it was 865$ for the mini with strap. I just love it so much, I was never much of a crook of arm girl, only sometimes, but the strap is always a must for me. You bought them on sale from shopbop.com? NAP didnt even have the pebbled version, and so I bought the black velvet laser cut before finding pebbled on lagarconne.com. NAP absolutely gauged me for shipping, duty and taxes, whereas garconne only charged me 20 for shipping and no tax. When i got the package from NAP, I was disappointed with the black velvet laser cut leather; it felt like suede and didnt look as nice as the pebbled. When my pebbled came the next day, I had that warm feeling we all know!!!! :cloud9:
sent the laser cut back today to NAP, which was a ripoff!! $140.00 tax!!!
 
WOW, it was $140 to ship back?! God, that's a pain!
I also live in Toronto, and I know what you mean... I haven't been to Holt's on Bloor in a while but I remember seeing the regular mini/baby on the Designer floor for about $1200 (or more!). I hate how everything in Canada is SO marked up, even with the currency difference.

And yup, I got it from shopbop... about 3-4 weeks ago! Shipping wasn't too bad, but with customs on top of that, it was a pain. OH WELL! I've got my baby nowwww lol
