Celebrity Studded Duffle aka FOCCO....

[lotusflowerbaum]

Of course I've done research and googled. I'd like to know more about it. I've watched a billion reviews but I couldn't find an updated review of people who have used the bag for over a year so I never know how it turns out.

It was only $30 and I don't care about the name brand at the moment, especially when the real rocco is close to a thousand dollars.

Some questions I'd like answers to from people who have purchased this item:

1. When did you purchase it (year)?
2. Did it smell bad when you received it? And if so, what did you do to get rid of the smell?
3. Do you stuff your purse, if so, how heavy is your bag and does it distort the faux leather in a way it destroys the material?
4. How has it held up until this point?
5. Any other opinions you have about the bag.


Pros/Cons of the Focco would be great too.

Thanks in advance!

This is a fake/replica bag for $30. You won't get a lot of responses here. For polyurethane material and $30, you'll definitely get what you pay for, and I'd have no expectations of it whatsoever.

Yes I'm quite aware of the type of bag it is and what it's made of. No need to sound like a xxx. @indiaink but there are a lot of women who care mostly about the name brand and tags and others quality. I have both, name brand and faux leather... and I can tell you that it's not as bad as its seemed to be. Phillip Lim did a collab with target and the materials were faux leather, meaning no animals had to die to make the bag... and the tote itself is great. It's lasted quite a long time.

By the way I responded in the post above.

OK, let's try this again. You were asking about an obvious replica bag, not bags made of faux leather, per se.

See my response re: obvious replica bag.

Okay and you made it seem like because this bag is not leather it would be ****ty, correct? Well me personally, I like the look of the AW bags but I don't like how the leather looks over time. It becomes too soft, the leather indents when you carry it on the leather straps, the bag itself starts to fold in and look tattered. Some women like the lambskin aged look, I don't. Plus I hear with the AW, the bags are HEAVY alone and I would like to carry a lot with me when I run errands so I figure that would be too much to run around all day with 5-10 lbs on my shoulder. Not to mention the discoloration that occurs.

If I spend close to a rack on a designer bag, Id like it to be nearly close to perfect, no matter what.

Hence the reason I went for the focco with straps. I wont have to baby it, it's large and cute enough for my needs, and I wont have to worry about the heaviness or distortion.

Now. I went into a tangent about faux leather bags because you really sounded like you were too good to even rock anything that's not real leather and I wanted to let you know that you shouldn't (and neither should the women who are obviously looking at this post) turn your chin up just because something doesn't have label on it. Also, another replica bag made of real leather is the Alexa collection from baginc.com but that's obviously sold out for quite some time.


Now I don't mean to offend you. xxx Thanks though Im more so interested in the opinions of people who HAVE purchased this bag.

I have 2 of these bags, 1 black, 1 grey and I really enjoy them.
1. I've had them for about a year
2. They had a faint smell but it didn't really bother me and went away fairly quick
3. I carry a good amount but I don't overstuff it, but I don't find it heavy either..the bag itself is quite light even with the studded bottom. And it's sort of slouchy because of the material but it doesn't distort or destroy the material.
4. I don't use them daily but after a year they've done well, I still very much enjoy them.
5. For $30, it's a good bag. However, if you're looking for it to hold that duffle shape, it won't. The sides do fold in slightly but that's the one reason why I love it so much.
