Thanks for sharing the video! I wonder if she's a tPFer. I was not sure about the Rock Me, but now it's on my short list! Her bags always seem smaller "live" than in still pictures. I'm pretty sure I'd like the full size even though I'm only 5'1".

Jackie's bags are hard to search for here because the search engine throws out the "me" because it's such a small common word. (no offense to the word me)

Looking forward to everyone else's reviews!

I just found this video review:

Off topic, but I cannot get "rock me" to come up with any hits. It says it can't find anything or it is too common. I had to page back for this thread.

Omigosh! The woman in that video is utterly adorable!! I love this!

My black pebbled and pewter crash Rock Mes arrived a couple of weeks ago, and I think I've carried them maybe 4-5 times? That's huge for me. I usually change a couple of times a day, and most of my bags don't get out that often.

Minuses (my opinion only):

a) I personally dislike the chain with the BE tags hanging off. I don't like how it feels to the touch. I pulled the chain and tags off immediately, but then I usually pull the tags off any bag I own.

b) HEAVY in pebbled leather, not so heavy in pewter. I dumped my black pebbled Love Me in anticipation that this would be lighter and easier to carry. It's not lighter. I carry my BEs for hard use, and I discovered that there are times when I end up desperately missing the messenger strap. The RM isn't a complete substitute for my LM.

c) I personally prefer the flat handles to the rounded handles of the TME. They don't slip off my shoulder and are far more comfortable, but those who don't like the LM handles because they tend to slip are not going to be any better pleased with these, I think.

The regular size RM is a big bag. I'm 6 ft and not skinny, and it's a good size. It seems to take up the same space visually as the regular size WTM. I don't really carry much with me, but I need a big bag for scale. This one is so big that most of my stuff can ride around all day and never touch each other, lol.

Again, personal opinion only here, but I disagree that the bag is too similar to other BE bags. For me, it has features and an ease in carrying it that I have been looking for and missing. The 2 outer pockets with magnet closure and no zips are a huge plus for me. I never end up using outside zipper pockets. They're more trouble for me than they're worth. I always end up wanting open pockets, and this baby has 2.

Not really much of a review, and most of the above is so subjective I'm not sure it's even helpful, but FWIW.

No pictures to follow, sorry.

Loved that video, especially when her boys are fighting over the bubble wrap and she's busy with the new bag! So hilarious and cute! Also helpful to see the size! We need more of these types of reviews!

GGA, thanks also for your opinions as they are very helpful! I look forward to your pictures! I honestly hope that Jackie rolls this style out in the Spring in some nice summery colors! Or I may have to try pewter out one day!

very cute video. i think the bag looks better IRL.
i would like to see it in more colours on the website.
i actually think this would have been fabulous in plum crash. it's a shame that leather is no longer available.

I so agree with you in many of your observations..I too would have liked a messenger strap..and personally I would have wished a bit deeper outer pockets..but I like how easy it is to get in and out of them, so now I have my keys and phone there.

Got my Rock Me Midi today. Stupid UPS guy left it lying around without a bag in the pouring rain but luckily it was packed well. Was pleasantly surprised to find out it comes with a messenger strap. Looks like it should hold all my junk and I like the organization even though NOTHING will ever compare with my LM for that.
