Well! With no marketing fanfare (missed opportunities), there it is. Thanks @Ilovelife123.

It looks a little sad.

Not well photographed, perhaps.

It does not have the inside large clasp so you can pull it in on the sides like the ROMA 2. One of best features of the ROMA 2 is the fact that you can turn from a large handbag into a tote. If they did ot include that feature they missed the boat. i am glad I own 4 ROMA 2 handbags.

@Ilovelife123 @culebra @1Professor @morning lover @Chi-town girl

Just saw it, but there's no interior clip to pull in sides? Camo color looks a little off, doesn't look like it matches the wallet or pouch, but I guess it could be the lighting of picture. Nude Snake shows up as the Blue Cobra swatch. I still think I'm going for the Nude Snake, love that it's more neutral for me. Is anyone preordering???

Is this going to be a TSV or just a new presentation? I'm over the exotics....would like more regular colors.

It's odd that the two ends for the shoulder strap are different. And enough with the snake prints. The size is good, but for my use it would be like a black hole that I'd be digging in wondering where my stuff was due to extremely limited organization features.

Thanks @Ilovelife123 I like the blue ostrich color but that's it. I don't like that "tassel" and don't like that the clasp is "gone" I wish I could have gotten the original Roma but never got a chance

@IlliniGirl88 What color do you have in the foldover tote ? I think I will

try Nude Snake but I have a Peach Python Pouch coming in the

mail, so I want to see it first. They keep offering the same exotics !!

I don't know which bag I would prefer ( foldover or roma 4 ) since

we have had no presentations. Would have been nice to have

more pebbled leather options ! I'm also not happy that the Roma 4

is lacking the inside clasp ( to lock and pull sides in ). The tassel

with lock and key seems rather cheap, I miss the lush tassel on the

Roma 2's !!

* As far as the Camo ...I think it will be the same as the pouch.

@MorningLover

I have the nude snake in the foldover and love it, love that it has a zipper. I really wish the Roma 4 had the interior clip. I just pulled up the video of the wallet (with Leah Williams) and Jill has the Blue Cobra Roma 4 bag with her. You can't see an interior clip, but her bag in squished in on the sides, so I'm assuming she just has the sides pushed in. I pulled up a picture of the Roma 4 Camo and Camo Verona & wallet and they look different. The Roma 4 Camo has the lighter tan in it whereas the Camo Verona & wallet have the darker colors. I have the peach python pouch, but I'm not a big peach girl. For me, I wished it was more tan than peach. I don't care for the short tassel either, I like the long tassel. It was kind of like having a "pet" with you. Did you order the peach python?

@MorningLover Here's the difference of the camo prints. I really want the LONNNNG tassel back.

Re: ROMA 4

MorningLover — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:55:11 GMT

@IlliniGirl88 I didn't order anything yet. I'm waiting to see what Peach

Python looks like in person. My peach python pouch will be here

tomorrow. I have a feeling I will like the Nude Snake better ! What

do you think about the pebbled leather in Sand ? I don't have any

light colored bags and was giving it some thought. I have the pouch

in Blue Cobra ( I think you do too ) are you considering the Blue

Cobra too ?

I just saw your posting of the 2 shades of Camo !! The reason I

said they were most likely the same.... I thought I caught a

look of a Camo style tote ( setting in back of studio during a gili

show ) awhile ago and that stuck with me !! Do you like the lighter

Camo ?

@IlliniGirl88 That tassel looks like a Very Thin piece of Leather was

used !! The tassel isn't even proportioned right.... They could of at

least made it like the Gucci ( below ) !!!

@MorningLover I like the Sand color, but for me I like to go for larger dark bags or ones with prints. I'm not sure about the Blue Cobra, I have the pouch and just got the wallet today in that print, but I don't know if I'd get tired of a big bag with a very distinct blue. It may be safe for me when I want to use that print to use the wallet or pouch. Again, for me, I would carry the nude snake longer and it wouldn't feel as trendy. I'm a camo girl and bought the Verona camo, which I absolutely love; I get compliments on it every time I carry it. I would like a larger camo bag, but not sure. I think nude snake is still me first choice, even though I have it in the foldover. The foldover for me though is more of a meeting/travel piece (would never check that baby as luggage though). I would definately carry the Roma 4 in nude snake for daily errands. I wonder why they decided to do a preorder? Can't wait to see the presentation.

Well, for heaven's sake... After all that... THIS is what they're offering... Thanks for posting because now I know. This is a big no-go for me. Don't like it and to call it a Roma would appear to be an insult to Romas of days gone by... Don't like the size, don't like the lack of shape, don't like the hardware, don't like the color choices, don't like the price, so I guess it's fair to say, I don't like anything about it... And yes @jaxs mom, I agree, enough with the snake prints... and I'd add, enough with the flimsy leather.
