Hoping I could get you ladies' opinion on this. I emailed Aloha Rag about the Rocco that I purchased and asked if they could send me the most pebbley one they had! They emailed me back with pictures of the one that I'm getting. It looks nice to me, but being that I am a AW newbie, what do you ladies think?

It looks ok, but I would ask for one with more pebbles on the sides, so it's even all the way around, IMO.
When I got mine at Barney's I had the same issue, but after looking at 3 bags I found one, it's all a personal preference!

I really like it, the pebbles look good to me. And it's still wrapped in paper.
Always good since you don't need to worry about scratches or anything on the hardware.

Thanks so much for your input!! I was kinda thinking the same thing, Lvgirl. I emailed back and asked if they happened to have one with lots of pebbling on all sides, but if not - I'll gladly take that first one. I'm excited either way! :D

IMO the only things that sets the Rocco apart from just any black leather bag are the super pebbled leather and the studs.

That was smart asking for a photo though :yes: I was going to get one but with their return policy I was afraid of what the bag would look like IRL. I never thought to ask for a photo of the actual bag. :shame:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :thinkin::graucho:

I've seen bags more pebbly as well. But with a lot of people requesting for the same thing I'm sure this is probably the pebbliest they have "on hand"

My black/brass from a different site is pebbled on the round sides and more wrinkled on the flat part. It was uniform and I liked how it looked, so I kept it. I think the only people doing reveals are those with the super pebbly ones, and that in reality there is a lot of variation. In the end, it matters if YOU like it. :)

I'm debating on whether or not to buy the Rocco in granite.
First because I was actually saving to buy a Givenchy Nightingale and then a Rocco. And second because I'm a little scared to spend so much money on the internet (Aloha Rag), and I'm not sure if all goes well with sending, and how much it will cost extra to send it to Europe.
Somebody who has some wise words/tips for me? :)

They will actually send you pictures of the product you want if its in one of their boutiques which some of their online inventory is in either their Hawaii or New York store. So maybe call one of the stores to see if they have it :) Good luck!
