I saw this too! I was waiting to purchase the Rockie in Cayenne with this, on the 20th November they had 14 stock and a day later it sold out, right before this sale.. I ordered mine through Saks.got an email from shopbop about a promotion..spend $500 get 25% off, so i was thinking of getting a rockie! question though..has anyone from canada/international ordered from them before? don't know if i should pay that duty fee ahead of time or just wait til i get the package (maybe they won't charge me)?? thanks

Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately I was very slow in seeing this message.. not to matter,
I've been wanting an Alexander Wang bag for years and the rockie I bought from
Saks will be well worth it.
I just bought Mercury Rockie at Saks, it's on sale now for $507.50. The Cayenne color is already sold out. Only Mercury left !
wow, there are rockie in (christmas) green.

I bought a mustard nubuck Rockie on sale from Shopbop a few weeks ago and I thought I would post some photos as I have been through the whole thread and there doesn't seem to much love for this colour here!
I was a bit nervous ordering because I hadn't seen the colour IRL and was worried it would be too "mustard". But I needn't have worried. It is a really nice lightish tan colour that is not too yellow, or not too orange looking. I really love the contrast with the black studs and zip too!
I know the nubuck will need more care, but this is not going to be an everyday bag for me, (I need really giant bags for everyday use!) but is just the perfect size and colour for what I wanted it for!
I have taken photos both inside and outside in natural light.

I'm so glad to see these photos.. I haven't seen any of the mustard and was wondering what it was like and your photos make it look gorgeous! I liked the contrast of the dark hardware against the bag as well. Do you feel like the nubuck will be delicate?
I finally bought the Rockie at Barney's after eyeing it for months! I was originally looking for the antique brass studs, but the sales associate convinced me that the light gold will look good with silver or gold jewelry and hardware. Sold!
I have not used it yet. I will follow up with updates later this week.

I'm super in love with the nude Rockie with pale gold hardware but I am so terrified about keeping it clean and color transfer on the light leather. I had to get rid of a pink leather Zara bag because my jeans marked it up so badly and I don't want to spend almost $1000 to ruin a bag. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to protect the lighter leather?

I haven't seen the nude. Can you post a pic? I had a granite Rocco, pretty light. I leather honeyed and Vectra sprayed about once a month and had no issues, and I didn't baby the bag AT ALL beyond that (I took it to a lake cabin twice and laid it on the grass, to the beach, etc.). At 6 months old it looked like new. The Rocco leather (and I assume the rockie is the same) doesn't seem that porous to me. But, I don't want to imply I guarantee nothing would happen with a light color. Just my experience.
