Poll for preferred Roma 2

This is for everyone, but probably more for those who bought one or more of the new Roma 2s, even if you returned them. In order starting from 1 to however many you got, which is your favorite to least favorite?

I bought the natural ostrich, black and blush. I bought all 3 because I couldn't decide which one I liked best. Having them now, if my life depended on it I couldn't pick a favorite. I love them all the same. The natural looks fabulous, the black is chic and the blush is gorgeous. So glad I got them.

Got the Ivory Ostrich and Cream Snake and love them both! Wasn't too fond of the Blush and returned her.

I held out for quite some time and I just gave in and purchased the blush Roma 2 on Easy Pay day. I did not need another bag but the blush one just kept "calling out to me". I am so glad that I bought it. Granted, it's a deeper pink than I anticipated but I still love, love, love it. I've been carrying it for over a week and I get ooohhhs and ahhhhhhs where I go. I'm a big bag girl, the size is perfect and it holds all my "stuff". My bag arrived in perfect, pristine condition. It did have a sort of industrial smell to it but I sat it on my balcony to air out for a couple of hours and the smell went away.

I can say with all sincerity that I love all of them pretty much equally and I bought all of them. If I HAD to pick last place would go to the snake ONLY because it's an exotic and not as easily carried for me personally. I would give a first place tie to three: Natural Ostrich, Ivory Ostrich, and black, in that order. The espresso is so elegant and lush, so it's hard to not put it in second, but defintely the blush in third with snake coming in last. That being said, I adore all of them!!!!!!

I'm currently using the Ivory Ostrich which I love. However I will probably love it more in the winter as I prefer a lighter bag in the summer. I also have the Natural Ostrich which I equally love. If I had to choose between the 2 I guess I would choose the Natural Ostrich. And only because it is more worn in and seems to go with everything. Someday I want the black as it is classic. They're all good, aren't they.

I purchased the Cream Snake. It was a beauty, but too large for me.

I bought the blush and the espresso lizard, I kept the lizard and love it. The blush looked just to big on me (5'2") I'm not sure if it was so much lighter in color that did it. I really wanted to love it...

So far I have the black, blush, snake and espresso. I need the other 3, and also need them to make it in a dark wine/burgundy color. I love them all so much, don't think I could choose. Maybe black and snake are my current faves...

I have black and natural ostrich. Love them equally. I really wish I could have gotten a perfect blush bag.

Thanks for the answers and I look forward to more. I never planned on buying the Roma 2, in fact I was anti GILI. I think the really smart moves that the Q made to sell this bag was, after all the previous complaints, 1) listening to the customer and making adjustments to the design , and 2) EXTREMELY good choices and variety in the leather choices. When was the last time you could choose snake, glossy lizard, 2 shades of ostrich, metallic, and black and pink solid leather in one bag? It is pretty amazing. Lisa did a really good job selling the bag too. The video and all the choices, plus the many happy reviews here and on the item page customer reviews, convinced me. I almost bought 4 of them. I cancelled the TSV price, but rethought it, I just got sold, so I am waiting for the black and metallic...was most next tempted by the blush, natural ostrich and lizard. Really fantastic choice of leather, I'm sure most of the sales were customer buying more than one.

The thing I absolutely love about the blush is the leather. Not only is it the most perfect pink, it is really lush, soft, you just want to squeeze it because the leather has softened beautifully!!!! It's the most girly of all the bags and for that reason alone, I had to have it.

Combining all versions of the Roma, ivory ostrich, espresso (solid, non exotic), brown snake, natural ostrich, orange but they are all winners. Didn't get the others but the only choice I'd not want if I could have them all is definitely the metallic and possibly the blush and aubergine.

Nikalette, I was like you, I was anti Gili too. I read the reviews and threads about the last Roma 2, so when people starting getting excited about this new one, I thought they were nuts. It's also a bigger bag than I would typically carry. Seeing Lisa's initial presentation (I still have it on my DVR) and reading the reviews as they rolled in changed my mind. You're right, Lisa sold the heck out of this bag, and the reviews were mostly raves. Then I got it in my hands and that was that. Love.

My favorite is the natural ostrich. I purchased it the first go round. This time I purchased the blush (borrowed by one of my daughter's) and it is lovely. I am currently using the cream snake. However, I am really longing for the black. The pictures look so rich.

I already had the black and the natural ostrich; I bought the new metallic. I love them all and switch them out depending on my outfit.

I only purchased one - the black and I love it. I am considering the natural ostrich. I also really like and am considering purchasing "the espresso (solid, non exotic)" mentioned by stevieb - but isn't this the bag that has the problem with the handles cracking?
