Frankly - the Rocco would be my last choice for a school bag. The opening just isn't wide enough to fit a school book easily. You'd be lucky to fit maybe one small sized book in there. And forget about a notebook! Also, the weight of the bag itself would be way too cumbersome. If I add anything more than just my wallet, sunglasses and my small make-up bag it's painfully heavy. And I'm very very used to heavy bags.

Oh okay! Thanks so much for your input! I'm definitely not using the Rocco for school.
 
So do you mean the bag won't support my necessary school supplies or will it just be too heavy to carry? :nogood:


Like everyone else said, the Rocco gives new meaning to heavy. I have to carry a smaller makeup bag and change my wallet or my arm/shoulder ache. It's so huge and I thought I could bring everything with me and the kitchen sink for shopping/travelling. I fly often and wanted a big bag to throw a book into, a water bottle. You can do this, but, you will be struggling under the weight after 10 minutes :p

It's a gorgeous bag, I love it so much - but, I shy away from using it as often because of the weight.

The irony is that I got it because it can theoretically carry more than any of my bags, and yet, to put anything into it makes it painful and exhausting.

Omg, thanks for your input!!! I guess I'll have to think about using a Rocco for other needs.

On the AW official site, I clicked on the store locator and found a Boutique really close to me that sells AW stuff. Glow boutique in Shrewsbury, NJ.

I stopped by there today in hopes of checking out a Rocco since I've never seen one in person yet i'm dying to own one.

They didn't have any in stock BUT I left my # and email because they said in the next month they are receiving a shipment of them and in many colors!! So excited.. Gives me some time to save up.

I'm probably going to order the Granite one as well! :) I have to decide between Granite and Grey, but I wonder if the Granite one has very strong green undertones.
It just always looks different! On some pictures it looks like a neutral grey but then on other ones it looks so green and sometimes it even looks like a warm beige. Just like you said, it reminds me of Latte as well!
I hope it goes with anything beige, grey and black.

Would you mind telling me how it looks in daylight as soon as you receive it?

It's free if your order is $600 or more for the US not sure for other places!
It comes off the order when you ck out, it's FedEx 2 days, you can upgrade shipping if you want it sooner.
