I'm Not Impressed With The Roma

On E-P day, I purchased a Roma (or maybe it was a Roma 2) handbag. I got it the other day, and it was 100% perfect. No flaws, or defects, or strange "smells". But I can't say that I'm impressed with it.

First of all, I don't care for the open top. I wish that it had a zipper closure. Yes, I knew that it didn't have that when I bought it, but I was hoping to like it anyway.

Second of all, the tassel makes the dominatrix in me want to come out and play.Cool

So, I'm going to be returning it.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

Well, handbags are a very personal choice, just like jewelry. We're all different. If you don't LOVE it, return it. It costs way too much to keep unless you love it. I can tell you though, that ANY bag I buy that has a tassel is immediately eliminated from consideration if the tassel cannot be removed. I just hate dangly things on handbags, and those giant sweep-the-floor tassels that look like pony tails aren't for me. I've been carrying my black Roma 2 for several weeks now, and I love mine. I do not mind the open top, and would prefer that the bag didn't have the magnet. It is cavernous enough that a closure isn't needed, in my opinion.

Sometimes having a tassel is as close to being a dominatrix as most of us we ever come. Great shades of Christian Grey!

Well, it should be large enough to hold all the tools at any rate. {#emotions_dlg.devil2}

Why would you even purchase a bag that didn't suit you? Hoping you will like something never works out. You don't like the opening, you wanted a zipper. Of course, you were not going to like the bag when it arrived.

Love my Roma's and to be honest I think the tassel is what makes it so chic.
