Reese Witherspoon in Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffle

Ok Bag Snobs, I know some of you are probably already tired of this bag, but it’s nice to see that Kristin Cavallari and her posse of hard-partying twentysomething-year-olds aren’t the only ones suited to carry Alexander Wang’s Rocco mini duffle bag. Reese Witherspoon rocks this stylish holdall as well as those girls 10 years her junior–and why shouldn’t she? Some of you might disagree with me, but I think the Rocco is on its way to becoming, in many ways, the next generation’s equivalent of the Louis Vuitton Speedy. After all, they share a similar barrel shape and both resemble small, but stylish, gym bags. I think Alex did a great thing with his metal grommets; they’ve quickly become his signature motif on his leathergoods without coming across as kitschy. This bag is both stylish, versatile and durable–not a combination you find with such a cult following. Reese is clearly not the type of woman to treat her bags too preciously and I don’t think she could’ve chosen a more youthful everyday bag. I’ve seen my girl friends beat their Rocco bags around and, much like my Jack Purcell sneakers, the more it gets used (and abused), the better it looks! For those wanting a fresh take on the Rocco, try the maple and smoke colors for an instant update! Available at Kirnazabete for $875 – $965.

  1. I have been on the fence about this bag for a while. I will say I like this style/color better than the black. BTW, love Reese’s hat. Does anyone know the make?

  2. Say it ain’t so, Reese. I don’t like this bag, and I’m disappointed that someone with Reese’s style would carry this thing.

  3. hate to nick-pick, but if you guys are gonna be snobs, then at least get the vernacular correct. those are studs, not grommets. you guys have almost no real understanding of fabrication or materials and it gets annoying real quick. maybe you oughta take a textiles 101 course, eh?
