I ordered the cream snake. I wanted it in the Roma 2 when it first came out but my limit was 3 bags so I held out. I also was hoping for a different style bag to come out so when I saw this in the cream snake, it was a no brainer for me. The brown snake is gorgeous but I don't have any bags in a cream color. I hope I love it. It looks rather shiny on the presentations of the Roma but I'm hoping that all the studio lights are exaggerating the shine.

You are going to love it! I cannot get over how much I love my cream snake roma 2. I got a LV Speedy 35 right before the Roma and honestly I like it better. Very differnt bags but A true winner!

You are going to love the cream snake. It isn't that shiny in person, not even close. It's a stunning bag.

It's a stunner! I'm leaning towards Grey Ostrich but the original Roma 2 is on clearance in Aubergine. *sigh*. Alllllllllll the bags come to meeeeee!. That the Natural Ostrich in the second version of the Roma 2 tote that was the TSV back in May I think it was and I love it!


Those old Roma's may be defective...save your $$$. I got one and it had cracked handles so it went back! Do yourself a favor and order the hobos while they are still ""hot""

Right that's what has me leery to get old Roma other than the clearance price and current extended return policy. Oh well. My attention is on the hobo now

At some point the 2nd production of the Roma2 with magnetic closure will sell at a reduced price; believe that will be a better option for those that want a Roma2.

LisaB thanks so much! I really wanted the cream snake before so I'm extremely excited to get it hobo style.

Don't forget Ebay as an option. Some of the sellers obviously live near an outlet, and all the GILI bags all show up on Ebay eventually. I was able to purchase the Vintage Leather Hobo and the blush and black backpacks NWOT at less than half the QVC price. All 3 were in perfect condition. You get to see pictures of the actual bag you are buying, and Ebay has buyer protection. There are lots of Roma 2's listed.

I'm throwing that out there since at this point you are probably getting a customer return anyway, so why not save money.

Re: New Thread for Gili HOBO TSV- Who bought it??

ok I'm the opposite of some...I actually got the black one BECAUSE I love the contrast with the ostrich strap... I love black and tan together. If it was all black I wouldn't have ordered..have tons of black bags and the ostrich alone I adore but all ready have the original large roma tote in that.

Agreed! At first I didn't like the ostrich straps but it's growing on me. I always like black and tan but something at first didn't say ""Wow."" But the more I see it the more I like it. I'm not buying though...I don't think so anyway. I just bought two Roma 2's at the outlet this month and they were the newest version! Natural Ostrich and Espresso Lizard. Love them both!

Color me late to the party, but can you share the item number....please? I understand if it's one of those times where a noose falls out of the tree if you tell. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}
