The leather is extremely soft, but the bag keeps its structure even when I'm not filling it completely up. Even my fiancé loves it - and he hates my handbag obsession :D

The rose gold undertones are probably not supposed to be there, but that is what happened to my bag I guess. I don't mind too much though, you can only see it if you go close. In the photos it's because of the lighting, as they are completely black everywhere.

I was hoping it was meant to be that way :sad:

I love rose gold - ideal for me would be completely rose gold cupcake studs.

The fact your bag is probably one of a kind makes me covet it so much more :graucho:
 
Hi ladies! I just got a iodine Rockie a few weeks ago but kept forgetting to post.. Is it normal for the leather to feel stiff? The leather is soft to the touch but unlike the rocco, it seems to have a lot of structure. If that makes any sense...
 
Hi. I am looking for the exact same bag on sale. The ladies here told me that since this color is a classic it will probably not go on sale but some sites will allow you to use a discount code. Azalea SF lets you use a 20% off code but they currently do not have the bag in stock. I tried to have them do a special order a little over a month ago but they said they already have the bag on order but since they are still in the production phase they don't know when they will arrive but to keep checking back and it should be no later than March 15th.

I'm trying to click on their International Shipping & Costs link and it's not working! :thinkin:

It's very structure and stiff, but gets a little softer with use, I used mine for 2 weeks straight and I notice it's breaking in a little...
 
i considering buying myself a Rockie, however i'm wondering if it is too small for a bigger (5'10, 170ish lbs) person?

i don't want to look like i'm carrying a kid's purse...
 
Hi, was wondering has anyone seen a rockie in Tan before? It looks pinkish nude on my screen. Something similar to Mulberry's plaster pink. I really like that pinkish nude but "tan" kinda gravitates towards brown imo. Shopbop is now having sales!! Would really like to get a rockie.. Thanks! :)

I'd say it leans very pink rather than brown, i think this is a good representation of the colour on a rocco http://www.flickr.com/photos/45988676@N07/8407914376/lightbox/

Thanks a lot! :D

I just sold away my a.wang black rocco in pale gold hardware because it's too big & heavy for me. Do you think rockie's weight is similar to Balenciaga's giant 12 city? Because I have a giant 12 city and I hope that rookie wont be too heavy..

The bal city giant 12 is a bit lighter than rockie

I'm not too sure of the giant 12 city weight but thanks Jenny for heads up! I have heard from some that have tried the rocco and found it too heavy that the weight of the rockie wasn't a problem (I've carried a rockie but only instore so I didn't get a chance to test the weight with the things I normally carry around with me)
 
Thanks Jenny and Nelsoir! I will go to my local a.wang boutique to check it out when Im free. Decided not to get it in Tan cause I just saw another thread saying light colors might get denim transfers. :O guess I might just get black to be safe.
Wanted to take adv of Shopbop's discount code now but sigh, they only have rockie in white and tan.
 
Thanks a lot! :D
