So even after a year you don't see this wear and tear along the edges of the bag? I'm so shocked! Hopefully it was just my batch. I'm going to give it another go I think for Winter!

Yeah even after a year there isn't much wear and tear from what I can see and I'm quite rough with it aswell I didn't baby it at all. I did order a beige/tan color for summer it's on on layaway/layby and I hope I don't have problems with it. Good luck for when you do get your bag! I really hope you get a good batch this time.

Hi, I just wanted to mention I have this same bag as well (the black leather with pale gold cupcake studs), and I have been carrying it nonstop for months now and I haven't had any scuffs yet like what happened to yours.... so I think maybe you did get a bad batch. :sad:Also like others are saying, the new leather looks even sturdier, so you should definitely give it a try again!

OMG, this is soooo gorgeous... thanks for sharing. I am loving the Acid right now... I might have to get this. Do you like the color, and is it easy to wear?

Thank you! The color is beautiful. I think this bag is great if you wear monochromatic colored clothing, that pop of color is amazing.

Pics just for reference.........
This is the Rocco in Iodine from Saks that I ordered & sadly returned a few months ago. My computer crashed as I was trying to load pictures & today I was able to get them off my back-up & load them! So, here he is....Of course I regret returning this bag, but I have to remember that I am a smooshy leather fan....

Like many ladies here, I have wanted a Rocco for years, but finally decided to bite the bullet (no pun intended). :cool: It just arrived today, my iodine rocco. I love it! I am a Balenciaga girl first and foremost, but I really love the rocco. The leather is durable and heavy. I have never seen one in person until mine arrived today. The studs seem to be of good quality. The edges are coated, as has been mentioned here, which should prevent the problems people were having with the leather peeling off the piping. The color is definitely plum, not burgundy. My pics were taken without flash, which showed the truest to its color. It is heavy, but I think it's about the same weight as a Bal part-time with giant hardware. I don't mind the weight. The leather smells heavenly. The leather is wonderfully pebbled, and the color is consistent on all parts of the bag (the pics make it look like it's not in some of the shots). I feel like the bag is of very good quality and definitely worth the money.

One thing I noticed right away that I do NOT like is that the bag doesn't open wide enough. A Bal city has the zippers that extend beyond the bag, so the bag opens wide, but this one doesn't. It's no big deal, it's just something I noticed. Many thanks to all the ladies who posted their pics and knowledge here, you helped me to make a good decision. ;)
