Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how the more recent (from 2012) Rockies age? I'm waiting on a black pebbled with nickel hardware at the moment but I'm a bit concerned about reports of very quick wear to the leather edges and seems. Is it inevitable that this is how it will end up or does anyone have a nice story about one that's been used regularly for a couple of years and held up well? I've been looking into it obsessively and worried they I can't find anyone! Thank you

I've just ordered my first AW. After lusting after a Rocco for ages I went for a Rockie in a colour/price too good to pass! Wondering about looking after it tho, am intending to use it as my work bag in place of my somewhat battered Alexa. I'm not previous about bags and know it won't stay pristine but is there anything I should/shouldn't be doing with the studs?
Thanks in advance. Am super excited about its arrival!! :)

I bought an iodine Rockie in early 2013 and its held up well... No problems to speak of. I only carry it like once every two weeks, and store it in its dust bag.

Thank you - this is reassuring :) I've used mine a couple of times now and LOVE it but trying to rotate my bags regularly to avoid too much wear on any of them - fingers crossed it holds up as good as yours!

Hi..can anyone tell me if the gold hardwares on the Rockie lasts with everyday wear? Will they tarnish? I'm about to purchase a Rockie and am a little concerned with how the hardwares will turn out with wear and time..your share of stories will very much be appreciated! :) I'm really excited to be getting a new Rockie!!

I'm waiting for my Rockie to arrive next week and I can't wait to see it and use it like you guys:-)
I'm a first time AW owner and I can tell already that this is a amazing bag:-)
