Re: My ROMA GiLi 2 Has Arrived!

The GOOD news is that after reading all of the reviews and comments on "The Bag", it seems that the previous quality/design issues of the first Roma II have been succesfully addressed and are definitely a thing of the past. However, I have noticed a curious trend that the few workmanship and leather quality issues that have been mentioned all seem to be about the Blush. hmmm. I have the Blush and my leather panels are mismatched. Not a problem, I will return and exhange for one of the other choices...It's a beautiful bag and I hope we ALL carry in the "best of health!"

Re: My ROMA GiLi 2 Has Arrived!

I am seriously thinking of exchanging the Blush for the Snake. For those you recieved the Snake. In your opinion is it an all season bag ? Is it soft ? I think the blush is beautiful and I have no problems with mine I just think I would prefer a darker/all season bag. Thank you !

I ordered several of these bags. The snake is an all season bag for sure!! It's beautiful.

It is soft. It's softer than the ostrich but not as soft as the pebbled leather of the blush. They are all beautiful and I honestly couldn't pick a favorite between them.

Have6cats - so sorry to hear about your Blush. The Blush is a beautiful color, but understand your concern. Hope you can find a good exchange. Love the black one. Leather is perfect.

Re: My ROMA GiLi 2 Has Arrived!

Hi Catlvr, My comments were based on how many times I heard during presentations that the Roma 2 compares to a bag that costs 3 to 4 times as much(I also know that is just how they pitch sales but in this case it was an unnecessary exaggeration). Mostly wanted to let people know it is a pretty color bag and you get what you pay for...nothing more nothing less. Just my opinion and not a put down, but more a comment on the hype. I am very happy for those that got perfect bags and a little sad for those that got some quality control issues. I am fortunate in that the sloppy stitching on mine is on the inside. Trying to give a fair review of what to expect and was hoping it would be helpful info.

Hi:

I have the SNAKE and I adore it! The leather is fantastic and the cream/grey pattern is definitely ALL year round. It will go with everything I own. You will be more than pleased, I sure. Give it a try! {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Re: My ROMA GiLi 2 Has Arrived!

I just received my ivory ostrich! It is beautiful! The color is a bit darker than I expected. It has a definite beige tone. I think I could even use this is the winter months. The leather is quite stiff on this one (almost cardboard like). I'm training it now and will be using over the next few weeks. Hopefully it will soften up with wear. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. For the price it was a good deal!

It will soften up with wear; my roma 2 arrived yesterday. I had been carrying my large roma in ivory ostrich and I was so surprised at the different "feels" of the two bags. The color is the same, but my large roma is so broken in and it's just lovely. I'm sure the roma 2 will soften up the same way. I carried the new roma 2 for the first time today. The tassel sheds; wear a light color!{#emotions_dlg.blushing}

NoLimit - LR said it might shed for a couple of days so I'm sure it will stop soon.

Tbelle - LR also said on air that the Ivory Ostrich looks good in the winter, sort of a winter white (I think she called it) and not a bright white.
