I saw on Lisa Robertson's blog the new "looks" for this Friday's LRS. There is what looks to be a new version of the Roma bag using the equestrian hardware and contrasting color tassel. I like the looks of the black bag. Any of you savvy ladies out there have any more inside info on this?

Re: Any info on new GILI bag?

Looks more like one of the GILI hobos, except there is no closure, seems like only one handle, and it's two-tone.... guess we need to wait till Friday to see the details but I personally am not impressed with this one...

Re: Any info on new GILI bag?

Some of the models were carrying it on PM Style on Monday. Nice looking bag, but appeared to be pretty unstructured. I don't know, unless they come out with some more Roma II colors I love, bring back some older ones, or take the bags in a different direction, I think I'm pretty much done. They all just seem to be more variations on a theme, and while it's a theme I like, I'm not totally in love with it and think I might have seen enough. Didn't get a really good look at it though, so who knows, I might be pleasantly surprised...

Well, it's a pretty bag. I love the black leather....however, not a fan of the lizard accents and the bag is just way too wide...18"....it looks weird when it "bends down" in the middle on the bottom - watch the videos.... the black leather looks amazing though....more buttery and better quality, seems like, comparing to the Roma 2 I got in black....

I think it's a really soft leather that won't have to be trained. I can't be training my bags. LOL.

The Roma was a knock off of a Gucci. Does anyone know which brand or model bag she copied to make this one?

Roma 2 is copied after Gucci Soho.

GILI hobos are copied after Gucci Stirrup.

I think tonight's hobo might be a combination of the stirrup & soho in terms of the snap closure Smiley Happy

Re: Any info on new GILI bag?

I liked it a lot in every color, and considered the ivory. I guess it's a good thing it sold out, since I've not had great success lately with bags ordered from QVC, so I didn't bite this time around. Besides, although I thought it was a pretty bag, it was a little larger and slouchier than I'd want and appeared to lack organization. Lisa clearly prefers totes because you can call this a hobo all you want, and that might be the silhouette, but given the size it would function more as a tote.

Yea, the Gucci Stirrup has a buckle closure. Even on the gucci website, in the description it notes the equestrian hardware. And the black Gucci has Stirrup has silver hardware, which I really like. Thanks for the info tough_kitty.
