The Rocco is indeed pretty heavy. For reference I have a slim build and am not exactly strong. Whenever I carry my rocco for more than 10 mins I start to feel the weight and I get red "indentation" marks from where I am holding the bag. Past an hour I have to put the bag down as the weight can be painful. Also I do not carry much in my bag, just essentials. So I don't really have any extra weight added on to the bag. It is a beautiful bag but defiantly a pain in the butt.

I have the black/RG and I have gotten quite a bit of use out of it. Perfect go-to bag. But I am currently lusting after that oyster. I usually find a way to get both.
Not much help, huh?

Haha I wish I can get both as well. But my favourite of all is still the Latte with Rose Gold HW! So gorgeous. But I can't seem to find it anywhere.. I posted on the search thread and someone told me it is available for pre-order on Nordstrom but I can't find it anywhere on their website..
I don't know the exact weight, but, picture a light bag once you've put your normal stuff into it. The metal "cupcakes" at the bottom are solid metal and even if they are small, there are a lot of them and they add up!
Once I add a few shopping bags, my shoulders/back start to ache and the Rocco becomes an annoyance. That is with only having a small makeup bag, large wallet and iPad inside. I will say that using the Rocco crossbody does help a bit when you start to carry a bunch of things.
A comparison of Rocco/ Rockie weight was done on this post....

I'm 5ft and I don't find Rocco or Rockie heavy...but may be because I like using big bags...
It could be iodine as that color is so hard to photograph accurately. When I got mine it actually looks more purple. I know there was a burgundy Donna, but i haven't come across a Rocco.
The SFA site also has a new color called Tundra. They call it a Rockie but show a Rocco.
Also.............what is the difference between a Rocco Dumbo Satchel, Rocco Lambskin Top Handle Bag, Rocco Duffle Bag? SFA even has a Rockie Dumbo. The measurements on the various Roccos seem to vary as well.....from 13.5" in length to 12.5" to 12".
Very confusing

I spotted the tundra rocco and really liked the colour, it'd be less susceptible to transfer (or no?). No idea about the different sizes, it's the first I've heard about them
Yup that is Iodine, I previously ordered but returned it because had inconsistent pebbeling...
Not really heavy. I don't put lots of things in it though. But definitely can't use as a school bag with MacBook. But i use it as an everyday bag haha. Using just another bag to carry the MacBook. I usually just carry MacBook on hand haha.
After carrying my iodine Rocco fairly frequently for the past few months I noticed a couple scuffs in the leather. I've never conditioned any of my bags, so I decided to try lightly going over the areas with Apple conditioner. It came out great & when I went to take the "after" pics I actually couldn't even find where the scuffs had been & had to reference the "before" pics. Needless to say I'm very happy with the results & plan to do the entire bag soon. Before & after:
Today I came across an interesting eBay listing that i wanted to share with you all. It is for a AW Rocco, which is in used condition however the owner for some bizarre reason dyed it from beige to black. Is it common to do this because I don't understand why someone would pay money for a bag as awesome as the Rocco only to dye it (it looks awful!)
