beautybrowsing: I'm a bit confused. I thought you were deciding between the Metallic and the Ivory Ostrich. Then you mentioned you were sending back your Blush tote. Did you keep the Metallic?

I ordered the Natural Ostrich and the Blush. I wear a lot of pastels, so the Blush will go with most of my spring/summer wardrobe.

I also ordered the Metallic, and had to return it because there were slashes across the tassel. I decided to reorder the Metallic, and it arrived today. I immediately checked the tassel (haven't removed any of the other plastic on the bag). There are some slashes on this tassel also (it doesn't seem to be as many as the other bag). At first, I thought they just shipped back the bag I returned to them, as it was on wait list, and the replacement bag got shipped to me right after my return was processed. I'm just wondering if the Metallic will wear as well as the other two bags. Did you have slashes on your tassel?

Hi

I am late to the ""game""- but just waitlisted the natural - but am also thinking about the ivory. The natural looks so classic- but the ivory is so special.I have a D&B Smith in ostrich in tan/natural- does anyone know how the Roma color compares?

I can't decide- maybe I'll follow Brew's advice and love both and waitlist the ivory!

Has there been any movement on waitlist orders- or is it too soon?

I have a D&B ostrich from their website and the Roma in natural ostrich.

There is no comparison...the Dooney is far superior quality leather.

Lyn08 I can see how that would be confusing (my husband often says the same thing) I sent back the Metallic 1st, but since the Ivory Ostrich was on wait list I didn't get to exchange it then. When it came back in stock I decided to send back the Blush as well (was originally gonna keep the Blush) in exchange for Ivory Ostrich.

So since I already love my Natural Ostrich I think the Ivory will be a keeper. Hope that helps.

I'm glad you love your Blush. It really is the perfect color and softness. I saw it on ebay and they were selling for quite a bit more than the original price.

My Metallic was also in great condition. Didn't notice any slashes on the tassels. I think the bag will wear beautifully. I think it will wear differently than the Blush though. I think it will patina a bit since it sorta has a depth to it already. But I am one of those people who likes a bit of patina on my bag. The more signs of wear, the more I like it. It's kinda like a new LV Monogram bag.......When its brand new, the leather is just too light for me but as it turns that darker honey shade, well then I love it. Enjoy your bags.

beautybrowsing: Thanks for clarifying this for me. I was just confused.

Since I already have the Natural Ostrich and the Blush, I think I'll send back the Metallic. I thought I liked it more when I received the first one (except for the slashes on the tassels). This one has slashes on a some strands of the tassel also (not as many as on the other bag), but I'm just concerned that the bag will not wear well, and the finish will wear off. I only removed the plastic on the tassel. I haven't checked out anything else on the bag.

I sort of wish I had ordered the Ivory Ostrich, but I don't think I need more than one large summer bag. I have not read any negative comments about the Ivory Ostrich, so I'm pretty sure you'll be happy when you receive your bag.
