Thanks, that's what I thought too. Black seems impossible to find, and I like white but it's not my best colour...although there are a couple around...hmmm, maybe...
the iridescent studs rockie too, can't seem to find it anymore though...
I have one on the way, found it on eBay, coming from Hong Kong. Pre-loved but they're so hard to find that I bought it. I'll post a pic when it comes, should be anytime!
It's black, I rec'd it today...there's a bit of damage on the strap which wasn't reported but it's not a huge issue. My bigger problem with it is that it kind of collapses on itself, whereas my black with matte black Rockie holds it shape beautifully. I've stuffed it and will see if that helps, keeping it as it's so hard to find but am that tiny bit disappointed. Also pretty sure the seller deliberately hid the strap damage, the photo they posted of the strap had the leather loop positioned right over it, a bit convenient I say...I've emailed them, will wait to hear back. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow, things are slightly crazed at the moment

How does it collapse? I notice my rockie seems to collapse on the back side. Please post pics.
Ok first 3 pics are my old matte black HW one the next 4 are the new rubberized iridescent HW one, it's slouchy and doesn't have the clean lines my older one does. I've heard others say this happens with the Rocco, I guess with the Rockie too? I actually love the slouch in my Rocco, not as happy with the Rockie but I'll stuff it and see if that helps. Pic of yours?

Aww. You're so lucky. I saw the white one on evil bay but not fond of white bags.
It's super beautiful. Lovely collection you have. Hopefully the seller will be able to get back to you soon to resolve about the strap. But it still looks extremely gorgeous and to die for.

Thank you! I'm not overly concerned about the strap issue, the edge of the strap has worn through where the it goes through the ring and you can see the white material underneath, but it's in the best spot for a flaw, no one but me would know it's there unless I adjust the length of the strap. First two photos are mine, the third photo is the one the seller posted of the strap, the leather ring is exactly on top of the flaw. Don't know if I would trust to buy from them again based on that. Love the studs to death

Update, the seller got back to me and offered a $50 refund for the inconvenience. I still believe the photo meant to hide the flaw but they've dealt with it very quickly so I'm happy. Would I buy from them again? Probably would give them another try. I'll post a better photo of my bag family soon, I'm now fixating on a latte Rockie with rose gold...but have to sell a couple of other bags so I can afford her! Total AW addiction...
That's a very pretty bag. I do see what you are talking about but maybe stuffing it will help. Will be honest that strap would bother me I would be worried it will get worse. I will post pics of my bag a little later.
You could be right re: the strap...the reason it happened to begin with is because the strap fits through the D ring so tightly that it's dug into the sides of it. It's actually too tight for it to move, I think this was done when the bag was made although who really knows. So I'm hoping that it's lodged there with no rubbing and won't get worse!
Here is mines, see how it kind of smooshes (If that's a word) in the back? Kind of annoying but I can deal with it.
