Lime green rockie with pale good hardware and bullet studs arrived today! I love it but it doesn't have the wow factor that the Rocco has so I guess this is my first and last rockie !
I have the cayenne rockie <2 months old, and at first the leather seemed pretty stiff and seemingly dry, but after taking it out in the Australian summer and stuffing lots of items inside it, it has become slightly more flexible and the leather slightly softer. It definitely doesn't feel as rough as it did when i first got it (I blame the courier and his hot truck). The weight of the studs tends to make the bag flatten in on itself when carrying but when standing on its studs it keeps its shape, i usually put plush toys inside when i store it to avoid folding of leather.
There are no Rockies to see IRL where I live and my hesitation to order one has been this issue. I didn't want it to remain "bubble like" forevermore. I love the flexibility of the Rocco, but not it's largeness.Ouch!! I hate that these gorgeous bags are such dye magnets! So glad to hear that the baby wipes took care of the problem. I love your bright green (Acid?) Rockie!!I used my new rockie out yesterday and I haven't noticed it had already color transfer! Eeek, to my surprise it came off so easily with just baby whipes! Happy again, there is hope
ooohh maybe i can order the oyster from there!! let me know how it goes. i'm assuming this is a reliable site?After missing out on the Rockies at G&B and I managed to find another Italian boutique online. I just bought a Dark Argon color!

Hi emmzk sorry I can't reply! I'm still a new member so I don't think I am able to reply to msg's? But I will definitely post again here when the bag arrives. I've been tracking it like mad and it's just landed in the UK so shouldn't be too long until it arrives!
My oyster Rockie had some colour transfer issue like the acid one. But I wiped it off easily with some leather cleanser.
