Very true

KJPA, congrats on your new bags! Gotta love a beautiful bag at a bargain price.

I don't live even remotely near an outlet, but that might be a good thing. I think some of the Ebay sellers that list a lot of Q bags must live near outlets or have friends who do, because lots of the GILI bags show up there.

I have the Espresso lizard Roma 2, it's a beauty.

Based on your recommendation, I stopped in at one of the outlet stores today. They were having a "Manager's Special" on the GILI Roma 2 Tote and it was priced for $59! I purchased the blush for my mom.

Other incredible deals: All Isaac bags $49, B. Mak $69, Tig $29, and Dooney & Bourke $109.

Wow! Congratulations! I've had the natural ostrich Roma 2 since July (I think). I really like it and get compliments just about every time I carry it. I bought some leather cleaner/conditioner at Walmart and used that several times. I put that on the inside leather and the bottom first to be sure it would not ruin the bag. It darkened it somewhat and really softened it. The darker patina makes it look more "real". I have been asked if it is real ostrich. I just laughed and said "you have got to be kidding". It seems like it is the women who are into handbags that notice and comment the most. It is my favorite bag to carry. I kind of baby it and don't carry it when it rains, etc.

Thanks ladies!

Krissie, I think you're right about ebay sellers getting some items from the outlet. It even crossed my mind!

Bluegrassbaby, sorry to hear you are losing your outlets! I know not everyone is into that kind of shopping but if you have the patience you can score some great deals!

Smurfette, I'm so glad you scored the Blush for your mom! I'm sure she will enjoy it

Suzwhat, I'll look into that Walmart cleaner/conditioner. Thanks for the tip and glad to hear you are enjoying your Natural Ostrich!

I'm in Kansas so, I guess that rules me out!
