I made an impulse buy but I don't regret it one bit. Went to Barney's and thought the Latte with rose gold hardware is beautiful so I bought it! It's tad heavier than my Balenciaga giant hardwares but Latte is the light neutral color that I've been looking for - and the rose gold hardware is a plus so I cannot pass on this! I could post some pictures if anyone is interested. :smile1:
 
Hi there,
i am thinking of getting an AW rocco, probably the midnight blue. but i heard heard stories about the quality of AW bags and also for the rocco there's this issue of weight as well. i'm usually a balenciaga fan, but can't resist the rocco. i also read from the forums that the new generation rocco bags are slightly lighter in weight. is that true? how is the leather now? any replies would be good.

i fell hard for the rocco last year and eventually decided to buy the military green/silver hardware combo (can't remember what season exactly). anyways, within a week the threading on the handle came undone, went back to barney's and they exchanged it for a new one no problem. after about a month or so i noticed that the leather on the bottom corners of the bag had worn right through, exposing the white 'piping'... again, went to barney's and for some absurd reason gave it another shot. needless to say the third, yes THIRD bag began to fall apart as well. they are such beautiful bags, but i can't understand how something so expensive can be so poorly made. i can't speak for the quality now but i am secretly hoping it has improved as i am really in love with the new suede espresso roccos... anyways, hope that helps.

No, I don't see any hint of pink undertone. Like taupe or gray, depends on the light.

This is such a beautiful bag but I may have to return it - I don't think I can handle the weight of this purse... :sad:

Anybody know the exact weight of an empty Rocco?
 
Hello lovely ladies,

Please could somebody help me with the above? I keen on purchasing a Rocco with shoulder strap but have heard of some many different types (or possibly just different names) that I am in need of some clarification!

E.g

Which is the Rocco the word 'luggage' refers to?
Is the mini the only type that comes with the shoulder strap?
Having checked out the dimensions, there only seems to be a couple of centimeters in size between the mini and the regular - is this right?


Any help would be appreciated!

Melanie

There are two different luggage colored Rocco's, one was a cognac color and featured a quilted pattern/no shoulder strap, the other is from last season which was a more brown color and had a shoulder strap.

All the new versions come with the shoulder strap from what I can tell.

Lastly, the mini is the regular size.. they made a baby size in past seasons. It was smaller and did not feature a side pocket like the mini.

Hopefully this helps :smile1:

Thanks much for the pics.
I bought the latte Angela from Outnet so I can try a Wang bag. Have yet to receive it :)
I was worried about the pink undertones as well but taupe/gray will be perfect!
