A New Color, Please, For GILI Roma ll

bsnmsn — Fri, 29 Aug 2014 03:40:26 GMT

I would love to have the Roma ll in a navy blue. Will Ms Robertson ever revisit the Roma ll and do more color ?

Hard to say, given the fact that current Roma 2s are still in stock since May.....

I'd like to see the color range expanded too, to include some of those offered in past incarnations of this bag, like orange and red, and adding a whole slew of new colors, to include dark green, burgundy, grey, and so on.

I would take another look at it in red for sure. Been looking for the right red bag for eons.

There are several colors available as-is.

I also prefer a smooth leather over the pebble leather. Anyone else more fond of the smoother texture? I just ordered the gili vintage large hobo in brandy and that leather is more smooth and I much prefer that texture over the prominent pebble texture in the roma's.

IMO it makes the bag look much more expensive.

I've been asking for a red one forever.....definitely prefer pebble leather because I think smooth leather scratches more easily and they show up more.

I would order one if it did not have that terrible odor.

I LOVE that hobo too! My most expensive bag!!! But D&B Florentine Leather isn't very practical although it's very pretty..... and I haven't seen any other handbags with smooth leather to compare.... I also like pebble leather. I don't like saffiano.

It's not pebble but it's not smooth either.... not sure what it is...??

My solids are essentially smooth. They might be very slightly textured, but not a deal breaker for me at all... I really wish she'd bring back some of the older colors and bring in some new ones. It's probably the best seller of all the Gili bags and the ones she keeps rolling out lately are too expensive for what they are... And that one she showed tonight just isn't for me. Initially, I thought I liked it in blue but not enough to buy. And the upcoming satchel is a triple entry, which makes me think it'll probably be a no go, but I'll wait and see it presented, assuming it doesn't sell out in the first five minutes of the show..., which is really getting old.

Incidentally, did the vintage hobo initially come in more than one color choice? I see now 'brandy' is the only color shown. It's a pretty bag, but I'm just curious.

Yes, Roma 2 is a hit. I gotta say it's my favorite bag - stylish AND functional as a tote.... I'm considering returning the saddle bag because it just seems so narrow for over $300..... :/ The vintage hobo is amazing. The brandy was the only color and supposedly it was hand dyed with vegetable dye. Something they don't do anymore. They made about 700 of these bags. The leather on it smells SO good!!!! Love it! The second version presented again tonight is overpriced for the seasonal pattern and I agree, 3 separate compartment bags aren't too functional....not to mention I don't do satchels...and this one doesn't even have a strap.

I wouldn't mind having the vintage hobo, but will probably wait and see if the Roma II line gets expanded.

Well, as you know, I love satchels and the lack of a strap doesn't bother me, but I have to wait and see. It looks like a pretty bag, but depending on the price, nothing different enough to make it a must have, depending, of course, on the colors.
