I think they're previewing the new large Roma Totes... just saw the grey ostrich.

eagle eyes!!! I reversed the dvr again--the grey ostrich roma-brenda has it! Lisa said it will be available in a couple of days! I love the ostrich, but not with smears & smudges...

It is a BIG bag... for many, too big.

Thx TK. I'm glad to know they produced the ostrich without smears or smudges. I wanted to keep the ostrich milano, but smears & smudges in multiple places. So, now I need to think about the large Roma. Roma2 is sufficiently large enough for my purposes, including using it as a combo handbag/briefcase. Grey will sell out in a flash.

Were there any issues with the large Roma?

Not that I know of. I have the large Roma Tote in natural ostrich and my sister has the camel and both have held up great.

Please note that this is a BIG bag. Many complained it was huge and heavy.

Thanks. The Roma 2 is the perfect size for me and I love this style. Unfortunately I'm tired of returning the black because it stinks. So sadly I give up.

Perhaps you should give the black hobo a try, instead? It's back in stock. The large Roma is huge. Not an every day bag?? Besides, there might be the same problems with smears on the ostrich. I think most black hobos were returned because ladies didn't appreciate the look. Otherwise, they had no issues.

The black is stunning, and will last forever. Our snakes will need more care due to the finish, so I try not to abuse her ;-)

yes, I absolutely want a milano, and will most likely get the black or maybe croco. Also want an ostrich-either grey or natural in one of the styles-without smears! Decisions...

Re: Large Roma Tote in PM Style?

C-girl, get the black hobo. As I said it had no issues. The croco returns most likely may not have the hornback pattern centered in the front of the bag - you can see that in the picture on the item page. If you don't mind slouchy bags, definitely get the black one. I didn't like it in the picture but I absolutely love it now. As far as ostrich, you can see it's a hit or miss so at this point your best bet is the brand new large Roma. Or perhaps the satchel if you like it.
