Aloha Rag just sent me another picture and there's one pretty huge faded spot. I don't like the fact that the color is so faded right there.
What would you say, should I order it anyways or should I go with Brass?

It's a tough one. I had a faded spot on a bal, used leather honey and miraculously the faded spot is gone. That said, Rocco leather doesn't seem as porous so I don't know if conditioning would even it out. But, gray is sold out everywhere at this point, right?, and you're getting 40% off? It seems like they DON'T want you to buy it, doesn't it?

Thank you for your input!
I asked them to send me pictures of one of the Brass ones they have left. If it's not pebbled enough I'll probably go with Brass.
Toughest decision for me so far :D

I live in Miami too!

:)

The only places I've seen AW down here are in Neiman Marcus @ Merrick Park.
I believe Bloomie's in Aventura might carry AW as well.
You should definitely try to go see some in person.
The leather is so thick and pebbly but they are very heavy bags.
Still worth it though!
I wish you luck on your melange Rocco, that color is a wonderful neutral.

Don't want to set up my own whole reveal thread, but I just got my first Rocco and I'm super excited!

I initially wanted a black one with rose gold, because I have a black Lia with brass that I LOVE, but I decided that I truly have too many black bags and I wanted something a little more fun for my first Rocco (though I can see now from having it that it may not be my last!), so I went with Petrol with brass studs. . . and I love it! :loveeyes::yahoo::loveeyes:

Also, I didn't realize this when I bought it, but the color is very nearly IDENTICAL to one of my favorite RM's- my Deep Turquoise Zip MAB, which I happened to be carrying today- so I snapped some side-by-side phone photos. I think they look cute together, like cousins :p.

Congratsss!! Thats a gorgeous bag! May i know if your strap is in different leather material than the bag? Is it sturdier than the bag itself? Mine looks different and im puzzled about this... Anyway enjoy your purchase!

I will definitely go and check them out as soon as I am home.
I might just get another one in black since I don't even own one handbag at the moment :D
Do you know which colors they usually have in stock? Thank you for your help!

Any thoughts on the faded spot?

I don't think it's too visible in this picture, but look at the second one!

I hope it's just the lighting.
