(5/31) Net-a-porter has the Rocco duffel with shoulder strap in the Forrest leather and black and smoke laser-cut leather:
(5/27) I took some pictures at Co-Op today with my friend Sari modeling both the black and the Forest Roccos. The first picture has the flash on, so you can really see the difference in color, but the second picture is MORE ACCURATE – the difference is BARELY noticeable (Forest is in the foreground). In natural light, the Forest color is so similar to the black, which is kind of disappointing, given that on Saks and other sites, it looks a little lighter. I was hoping for more distinction between the two…
Oh, and just FYI, I am CONVINCED that the new Roccos are lighter than the original version. Maybe I’m just so used to carrying mine around all full of stuff, but just handling the new/old ones at Barney’s, I really felt a difference…
(5/27) The new Roccos with shoulder straps are now available at Shopbop in black “cut velvet leather” and smoke “cut velvet leather” as well as black with brass studs. Here’s the bag in smoke (I love it)

(2/8) Hampden Clothing has the Black/Brass studs rocco duffel WITH A MESSENGER STRAP!! on pre-order for April. I like the idea of a removable longer strap, but I’m not sure messenger style really works with this bag. (The Diego is amazing carried messenger style though )

(11/16) Net-a-Porter has the Alexander Wang gray Rocco duffel in stock (I wish retailers would get the name straight on these bags – they’re calling it the Coco…)
(I chose this picture so you can see the contrast between the “gray” bag and the model’s gray top – the bag looks more brown than gray IMO against her top. It’s a nice color, but doesn’t seem like a “true” gray, whatever that is!!)
(11/12) hmmm…Shopbop has the black/brass studs coco duffel back in stock – they’re “hiding” it in the editor’s picks! Ladies, the coco seems to be popping up here and there…be sure to scroll down to my list of other boutiques that have sold the coco below if you’re not able to get it from Shopbop or Net-a-Porter.

(11/6) Shopbop has the camel suede rocco duffel IN STOCK right now. I love this color, it’s simply perfect for Fall. Yes, Alexander Wang online has it too, but shipping is $15…
(11/4) WHOA. Alexander Wang online has a wonderful selection of the Rocco bags (those are the ones with the silver studs on the bottom) in black, gray denim, navy suede, camel suede, and gray suede…take a look:
how beautiful is this navy suede???
(11/2) Looks like Blue & Cream has a gray suede & silver hardware version in stock:
(10/24) Mick Margo is taking pre orders for the new Black coco with black studs and the grey coco with silver studs.
(10/20) A reader let me know recently that she was able to pre-order the Coco Duffel from Pumpz & Company for November delivery – and they had a choice of silver or brass studs on the bottom…I’d definitely go for brass, it’s much more classy IMO.
(10/8) My coco duffel has arrived!!! I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had time to even take her out yet, but I will, and will post pictures ASAP. But Satine now also has 5 of the new gray coco duffels on pre-order, also for $850 for mid November delivery. Isn’t this color lovely??
(10/2) This isn’t really a major update, except to say that mine will arrive sometime next week from Satine!! I couldn’t be more excited. I believe you can still call and order the coco duffel from most of the places mentioned below – but it’s getting very close to being gone for good. Although if you wait, you might be able to snag one of the new transparent ones oh, and please please please please please DO NOT BUY ON EBAY unless you know the seller to be reputable. there are SO MANY FAKES out there selling for hundreds of dollars. And needless to say: DO NOT BUY A FAKE. seriously.
(8/26) Marty from Blue Bee left me a note on the other Alexander Wang post: “We have a couple coming to www.bluebee.com and at Blue Bee in Santa Barbara. You could call the store and pre-order it at 805-882-2468. We have a bunch of Alexander Wang bags and clothing coming in any day and also have some in stock.” I’m not sure this is specifically for the Coco Duffel, but it’s worth a try – if you end up getting one, leave a comment!!
(8/20) the coco duffel is “officially” available for pre-order (November delivery) at Mick Margo
(8/18) well, it looks like it’s totally gone again…it’s still available for pre-order at Satine, but that’s all I’m aware of right now. If anyone knows anything different, please leave a comment!!
(8/4) The shopping portion of Alexander Wang’s site is up for a preview today – use code AWSTYLE.COM to enter. The Coco Duffel sold out instantaneously, but it will more than likely resurface…
(7/30) Aloha Rag has the coco duffel in stock now, and it was back in stock at Shopbop for a while today…and then it sold out again. You have to be quick!!
(7/28) check out the new exclusive distressed denim leather Alexander Wang Coco Duffel at Shopbop:

It’s available at ZOE RIGHT NOW!
The coco duffel was (briefly) at Jumelle (**edited July 10 – it’s back in stock now!)
And it’s available for sale at Blue and Cream
And here are some other places to find it – most you’ll have to call to order, or pre-order, it won’t be available immediately:
Mick Margo is not currently pre-selling
Also check Opening Ceremony frequently, as they have some of the Fall 09 collection up now, and might get the Coco in soon.
jake has pre-sold it in the past, and there’s information floating around that Net-a-Porter might carry it. Diavolina got an order in, don’t know if it’s going up online, or if you’ll have to call the store to get it.
Other places that sell or have sold Alexander Wang handbags that are worth keeping an eye on:
Blue Bee
Kirna Zabete
Bird
Madison Los Angeles
Otte NY
Oak NYC
Hejfina
La Garconne

How are you managing to wait until mid august?? It must be hard to wait…..
I got lucky with one from Barney’s
love love love my coco!
i don’t know actually LOL! i’m trying not to think about it too much. i can’t wait to get it myself, i’ve heard/seen so many mixed reviews, i’d like to make my own decision. i think i will love it though…
I TRIED logging onto the AW site…said incorrect password. Got my bag today…,loving it…except. I want to find a really crazy wallet to go with it. I am looking toward something like the Fendi Neon buckle Wallet, cant find it online though. Any suggestions?
OOPS!!! the code is AWSTYLE.COM. my bad…yay for getting your bag!! i’m so excited to get mine, just trying to be patient.
as for a wallet, i love the idea of pairing it with a bright color, have you checked out comme des garcons? i’ve proclaimed my love many times for my XL comme des garcons wallet in bright blue – i will never buy another brand again. here are some IRL pics of my wallet – you can buy at lucky scent – here’s a link to the one i have
Ok, so I’m on the wait list for Barneys’ 2nd shipment…I can’t wait. Has anyone else found the bag after August 5???!!!
i’m still looking for that coco mini duffle bag……
anyone ?
available for pre-order at Mick Margo (Nov. shipping)
Hi I just found the Alexander Wang Coco Duffel on this website ( Sacs En Ligne ) do you think its original because they have Birkins for less the $2000 dollars ? http://www.sacsenligne.com/product_info.php/pName/alexander-wang-black-mini-coco-duffel/cName/alexander-wang
i can’t prove anything, but i’m going to advise you to stay away from this site…there’s no contact information, no address, phone number, etc., (that i can find anyway), i think they’re selling fakes, or it’s just a scam to get your money…
Thank you soo much thats what i thought …. Im really dyeing to get my hands on this bag my sister got in July and its just amazing ! i keep logging on twitter a gazilaon times a day waiting for an update from you saying the bag is available :p
i haven’t been lucky enough to catch it for sale online in weeks – although i did hear that it was on shopbop a couple of days ago for an hour or so before it sold out again…your best bet is just to check the sites i have there, and there’s a thread on the purse forum dedicated to the coco duffel that has updates: http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/alexander-wang-coco-duffle-bag-475847.html
i’ll try to be better about posting updates to twitter – now that i know you’re watching LOL
Thank you so much
)
Did you ever get your Coco? Are we getting to get to see your review of it?
LOL ok. I hope it comes in soon! I am curious to see what you will think about it!
Blue and Cream may have some available- I would call the store to check.
does anyone want an Alexander Wang Coco Duffel??? I ordered one off the Alexander Wang website but had preordered one from Opening Ceremony a few months ago, and OC sent me the bag without notifying me of the transaction!!!! I am very very annoyed about this as I now have two of the same bag!!! So if anyone would like to take this gorgeous bag off my hands, please please email me at charitable_me@hotmail.com. Thanks!!!
ps. needless to say it is 10000000000000000% authentic – will provide pictures etc. on request.
thank you so much
I know I’m a bit late to jump on the bandwagon, but I really want this bag!! (in black). Any updates on where they might still be available please? I’ve had a look around on the sites mentioned above… OTTE still have a message saying that more are coming in November and you can preorder or be put on the waiting list, but they haven’t replied to my email. Thanks!
hi amelia – i haven’t heard of anyone still taking pre-orders for the black, but maybe try mick margo – either call and ask for nadine, or send an e-mail.
they did pop up on alexander wang’s site for a few hours a couple of weeks ago, it’s definitely worth checking there frequently, also net-a-porter. maybe try jumelle also?
did you contact the girl who left the comment above about hers? it may still be available…just stay away from ebay – there are SO MANY FAKES.
good luck!!
Thanks for the advice!! Ebay was definitely tempting considering how many there are on there, but if I’m going to pay that much I want to know 100% that it’s the real deal… Well, I’ll have a bit more of a hunt around, maybe luck will be on my side
Thanks again!
So I got an email back from Otte saying that they had one left for pre-order, but when I emailed back with payment details (didn’t call them because I’m in Australia) they replied saying that there were none left!
I was SO CLOSE! I’m a little bit annoyed that they gave that last one away considering I had told them I wanted it… just a pity that there’s a time difference with emails I guess. The hunt is back on! 
oh man…i’m sorry
i really hope you find one!!!
does anyone have a picture of the black coco with black studs?
the alexander wang shop link doesnt seem to work ? :/
so sorry..thanks for letting me know! i fixed it in the post, but here it is also: http://shop.alexanderwang.com/shop/#/handbags/
seems like the black & grey are both sold out now!!
http://www.blueandcream.com
Just put up ALL NEW WANG BAGS AND CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
I just want to say “Thanks so much to you!!!”
Since I’m new w/ A. Wang’s bags, I found your website from Google. I contacted those stores on your list… Guess what!!! I got both of my black coco w/ silver and brass in only one week. Lucky me! I thought it’s hard to come by the black w/ gold one, but she is on her way to me now. I’m so happy.
Many thanks again!!
oh, yay!! i’m so glad you found both of them
i hope you love them as much as i love my coco!!
As of 11/11/09…black coco duffle is available on netaporter.com. Just ordered mine. Hope it’s as wonderful as everyone says…can’t wait!!!!!
)
got my bag already & its gorgeous! love it!
yay!!! congratulations
sold out as of 11/14 on netaporter.
What is the difference between the Rocco and Coco? – other then the studs being different colors .. is the Rocco a bit smaller???
they’re the same size – or at least only an 1″ difference in height i think. so the only difference is the brass studs – i think the coco will always just be the black/brass studs and the rocco will be different colors with silver studs.
Thanks for getting back to me!!!! – But Shopbop calls the gray/silver studs a Coco too – this is where all my confusion comes from – i don’t know if sites are using the name interchangably or if a true difference .. THANK U tho!!! .. i’ll get to the bottom of this and share!
yeah, i know…shopbop has it wrong i think. alexanderwang.com has all the bags with nickel (silver) hardware labeled “rocco” & i’m thinking they’re the authority
it is confusing, but it seems to me they’re trying to differentiate the original coco from the newer versions. definitely report back what you find out, i’m definitely interested!!
I just found this blog by happenstance and got the code for the Mini Rocco Duffel (black/black) on Satine for 30% off! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have been salivating over this bag for a while now and I finally got it! At 30% off!
yay!! i’m so happy for you
you will love your new bag.
Hi Grechen,
I’m so happy! As I live in Europe, this bag was hard to find at a decent price (NAP charges way more in Europe than in the US and MyTheresa is trying to sell the Baby as the Mini, so the price was crazy! I also prefered the brass studs, but that one is unavailable in Europe; they should receive the new ones for fall, but they will cost around 1150 USD).
I wanted to thank you for this blog post! I’ve been checking it for the past weeks during my search for the perfect Rocco. I was going to settle for the black with black studs, but then it sold out on Shopbop. I checked this page again today and saw your post about Shopbop’s new shipping of black with brass studs. I rushed to the website and ordered one!
Can’t wait for it to arrive, should be here on May 3rd.
Thanks again for your great research!!
Greetings from Belgium
yay!! i’m so happy you got the bag!! i know you’ll love it, i think the black/brass studs is the BEST version – it will last forever, and never go out of style…
Grechen, just to let you know Barneys has black/bass combo rocco in stock!
DESIGNERBLACKBOOK´s last blog ..AUDRINA PATRIDGE IN AMANDA UPRICHARD SILK DRESS
Hi Grechen, thanks for your blog, super useful! Wondering if you know of any discount codes? There are a few sites now that are have the rocco black with brass studs in stock but a discount would sure help!
the only places that have the bag sometimes, and ongoing codes are satine (grechens10 for 10% off) and zoe (GRECHEN for 10% off) – otherwise, if i do happen to find it with a coupon code available anywhere else, i’ll definitely put it here in this post…
Saks now has the rocco duffle with strap online in 3 colors!
Hello fellow fashion lovers =)
Marissa Collections just received a new shipment of Alexander Wang bags. Check them out at:
http://www.marissacollections.com/search2.aspx?search_freetext=Alexander%20Wang
I love the Brenda Mini Camera Bag. It’s a perfect cross-over body style.

I know you probably would have posted about this if you knew, but I’m really interested in the Smoke version that’s available at Shopbop – but I cannot for the life of me imagine what “laser cut velvet leather” is like. Is it like suede? Any help would be so appreciated!
Hey, Grechen, the forest Rocco with strap that I ordered from Oak (with your discount code) came and I really like it. I’ve been using it a lot. Things fit in easily and I can find them fairly well. And I’m liking the dark green color. I like that sometimes it looks dusty black and in the light it looks green. You probably knew this from your own Rocco, but I discovered that on the outside there are TWO hidden zippered pockets, not just one. That’s very cool. Only downside: it IS heavy! You get used to it, and using the strap helps a lot. But this will probably be my only studded Alexander Wang bag. The studs just make it too heavy. Although I love the looks of the new Darcy bag, and I have pre-ordered it from Saks online (where, by the way, you can get several views of the bag.) I’m not sure whether I will keep the order. Carla
i LOVE the two outside zippered pockets on the rocco!! it really makes the bag more practical imo, although it wouldn’t seem like it. i’m glad you like your forest rocco – i really did like the color IRL, but wanted it to be a bit brighter. and yes, you definitely get used to how heavy it is; i don’t even notice anymore!
thanks so much for your comment
i just bought the Rocco bag (black leather, black studs) for a GREAT price on sale at Barneys, and I received it and i didnt realize how heavy it was! does this weight effect you at all? is it tiring to wear it? i also read somewhere that it wont make it through airport security cause of all the hardware, do you know if this is true at all?
honestly, i’ve gotten used to the weight – i don’t find it to be any heavier than my rebecca minkoff morning after bag…
i don’t know about airport security, seems like they might have to look at it more closely, but how could it not make it through??
Wow, it never occurred to me that the Rocco might not make it through airport security–on the other hand, if you just show the bottom of the bag to the screeners, I would think they would be ok with it.
It IS heavy. But I’ve gotten accustomed to it after about a month of owning it and don’t really notice it. Also, I have the Rocco with the strap so you can sling it on your shoulder and that seems to help with the weight.
But I wont be getting a wardrobe of these bags. One or two heavy bags is enough. I think Wang needs to stop with the studs.
My Rocco’s inaugural trip was to Vegas and I made it through airport security there and back without any issues. The only thing that seemed to confound security was my iPod – I put it in the one of the hidden side pockets of the bag and they were trying to figure out where it was located in my purse. Other than that, Roccos should be a go for all flight travel!
no, i haven’t received it yet
are you kidding?? the second i get it, i’ll post pictures!!!
i pre-ordered from satine for mid-august delivery, but they haven’t received them from alexander wang yet….
