Just bought the Soft Leather Rocco with Pale Gold Hardware. I can understand why it is sold out in most department and on-line stores, simply GORGEOUS but still on the fence, not sure how to maintain-

Collonil Waterproof Spray?
Collonil Classic Leather Gel?
Kiwi Protect All Spray?

Heeeeeeelp!

I saw a few Diegos in this color at TJMaxx today. Very pretty...but I run from light colored bags. :p

I have only owned dark colored AW bags so I really can't help here. I do like to use Collonil Waterstop but not sure how much that would help with preventing color transfer...I am usually trying to prevent rain stain.
 
Thank you for your replies! I agree, the color transfer is what I am concerned with too... I wear a lot of black and denim pants so guess this is going back. I also purchased the Rocco Soft Leather in Black with Pale Gold Hardware, wondering if I should exchange it with the Pebbled with Brass HW or get that as well?


How different are they weight wise?
 
Wow, your store had a great selection. I checked 2 stores and only found the soft black Rocco, soft black Diego, and several soft peroxide Diegos. I was really hoping to find a latte Rocco...but might have been tempted by the black with brass. ;)

If you can wait a day I will try and get you some weights tomorrow.
 
I was able to get some weights:

Soft Rocco: 3.69 lbs
Pebbled Rocco: 3.22 lbs
Inside Out Rocco: 3.52 lbs
Soft Diego: 4.40 lbs
Thanks plenty cathead87! I have soft with Pale Gold and Pebbled with Antique Brass in my possession and there is a significant difference in weight! The soft stands out because of the Pale Gold hardware but I am leaning towards the pebbled (antique) because if the weight... I dont carry much really, but these bags sure do need some gettung used to...

Sigh...decisions decisions...
