Now that all the Roma 2 colors are available, QVC needs to show the earlier videos so we can see all of the color selections.

The metallic Roma 2 is soft and pliable, not stiff. It has a slightly "tacky" touch because it's the "suede" side of the leather. Your fingers will not glide over the surface as they will with the black Roma 2.

The bag is not a pure silver color. There's a Lisa FB photo where she's looking in a store window and the metallic looks very silver. In person, at least in every light I put mine in, it looks slightly more gold-ish than silver, and the gold hardware casts a gold tone on the bag's surface near the hardware. The finish is not a shiny foil metallic. It "glows" and is very neutral. Both silver and gold jewelry look good with this color.

I have examined this bag and whatever is applied to create the color is ON there and has become part of the leather. It doesn't flake off. When viewed very up-close, the color is a combination of different shades (from very light to very dark) of tiny metallic gold and silver explosions, but the effect is subdued and iridescent.

I don't think there's too much metallic because the effect is neutral -- a calm color -- not one of those metallic bags where you can see your reflection.

Hope this helps you with your decision!

OMG I love my iced metallic! It was my favorite until I got the Espresso Lizard and then it ties for second place when I got my Ivory Ostrich........seriously though, it's a FRESH neutral for summer! Goes with anything since it has the silver and gold hardware! It's soft as can be, already broken in! Much softer than the ostrich............GO FOR IT

Thanks for your detailed descriptions! I really appreciate the replies! It is a beautiful handbag!

The Iced Metallic is a beautiful bag. However, I've had to return mine twice, because there were slashes across the tassels on both, and the last one also had a slash on the bottom. I'm afraid to order again, because I'll probably get a return.

Ms Lomo, you got me with iridescent. What do you think about keeping it clean - is this a bag that will stain and show dirt easily?

I know Lisa said that the ostrich bags could be wiped off.

Like I need another Roma.....I am surprised at how much I love this bag.

You are not alone...I received a snake bag with defective handles. Just received the replacement, and it's worse! Major issues with peeling handles. Can't believe the 2nd bag passed QC. I'm not going for #3. Q needs to get this right or stop selling the colors with QC issues. I do have the blush, and she is perfect.

I see this wearing quite well so far and I've carried it alot and left it in my car in the heat and hung it on every kind of chair possible and it's gotten TONS OF COMPLIMENTS! Go for it and if you don't like it just return it!

My hesitation now is the 'will I or won't I' get a defective bag and/or somebody else 's return. I've been lucky with the black, espresso and blush. Snake is in process and I have my fingers crossed. The whole return/exchange process is so slow. First world problems, I know. I think I need handbag rehab. Just love love love these Roma's.
