Yes, it's like the color of a Tiffany Bag! Can you imagine that with Tiffany SLGs?

Saw the peppermint Rocco at Nordies today. Such a pretty color!
Hi girls I just received my Black w/ RG Rocco from shop bop and the leather feels so stiff and dry do you have any suggestions? should I moisturize it? will it soften up over time? I had ordered the black with brass a few years ago and the leather was like this I wound up returning it and rebuying it in RG and the leather was better, needless to say I sold it and regretted it and now rebought it but I am so disappointed with the leather.
I think that it gets better with wear but I'm not absolutely sure because I haven't purchased and kept one of the newer ones. I just didn't have the patience and I thought it looked huge on my small frame when it was so stiff.
I'm hoping my new royal Rocco gets smooshier over time too. I have bought and sold 2 other black Rocco's with brass hardware. The first one was a first generation and the leather was super soft! The 2nd I found at Nordstrom Rack for a steal and that leather was soft but not quite as soft as the 1st but this new one is sooo different! I'm so in love with the color that I'm willing to hold on to see how it breaks in! One thing I'm very happy about is the new piping because with the other 2 I was nervous about getting corner wear, now it's not an issue.
I've been lurking on this thread for awhile now, just reading everyone's opinions. I've had the Rocco with nickel hardware for about a year and a half. I can say that it's starting to lose structure but the leather gets softer and softer with use. I've used it religiously for about a year until just recently when I started circulating my other bags. She's held up pretty well, I must say. No piping issues, no tearing. She still looks brand spankin' new and I haven't babied her at all!I'm hoping my new royal Rocco gets smooshier over time too.

I don't know if the newer bags are going to be like the older ones. I've been wanting to get a Rockie but I'm still undecided.
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping to get my first AW bag soon but I'm so torn between these two types. The first photo is of the Rocco in Navy with Matte Black Studs and the bottom photo is of the Rocco in Ink with Rhodium Studs.
For a closer look of Navy with Matte Black Studs:

and
Ink with Rhodium Studs:

The colour of the studs doesn't bother much me as both would work with my wardrobe but I'm not sure whether to go for the Navy which seems to have blue pebbles with black crevices or Ink for an all over dark blue look... I like both! The darker the better. Help me decide!
If anyone has either of these bags pls post up IRL photos! I'd love to see them![]()
My vote is for the first option with the matte black studs. I think the variation with the navy and black leather adds depth to the 'pebbles' and makes it look darker, too which you mentioned was a plus. Since your post is now a few months old, I wonder if you pulled the trigger on either one yet?
Thanks so much for the reply! I appreciate itI *didnt* end up with either of them....! The first optioin was sold out by the time i decided but then came back into stock but there were issues with me ordering from the site i was using. I gave up :/
However i am now on the hunt for the black/iridescent studs!
