Re: Upcoming GILI Roma 2 TSV Questions :)

I ordered and received the blush backpack. I really wanted the blush color and couldn't wait to get it. I was disappointed with the color. It was more nude than pink. Someone else posted that it looked like the color of a bandaid and I agree. I returned it.

NO WAY! Not a true Blush color? I didn't want to hear this. DRATS!

stevieb - that was me who posted about the answer to the cracking handles someone had asked on FB. Here is what was asked/said:

Posted on FB 05/09/14

Good morning! Does anyone know if the handle cracking issue on the roma 2 has been resolved? Really want a new color if so!

Lisa Robertson QVC hi Kristen, for the New Roma we went back to the manufacturer to address this issue and were assured it would not happen again, they are beautiful bags!! --Erin

As to the possible price, when it was the TSV on 10/23/13, the price was $159.12 with S&H of $11.22 and 3 ez pays.

This TSV, scheduled for May 16th, will be able to pre-order on May 12 at noon ET thru Lisa's FB page. I just hope QVC handles this like the do for InsideQ. Because you know the blush will be the first color to sell out. They had better be holding a lot of these bags for the 16th.

Thanks Vickie00! I knew I'd seen somewhere that the handle issue was supposedly addressed. Hoping it really is. I'm liking a couple of the new options, but really don't need any more of this type of bag. Still, I have narrowed it down to a couple of choices and while I might actually manage not to order any of them, I hope to add one to my collection.

I think the 'more nude than pink' thing is sort of universal this year for 'blush'. I was looking at a bag elsewhere listed as blush and it really didn't look pink at all but more of a flesh tone, which was fine with me because I didn't want pink... I ended up not ordering because I couldn't be sure what color I was getting!

I guess I will have to wait to see the Blush on TV. I want the more towards pink, and it doesn't sound like it is. Thanks for the heads up. My wallet will probably say thanks, but I am still getting the tan ostrich.

I wouldn't give up on the blush. The pictures I've seen of it definitely show a pinkish rather than completely neutral tint, but if you want a seriously pink bag this one probably isn't it. It's a pretty color, from what I've seen. I have the natural ostrich and brown-black snake in the Roma 'medium' , whatever they were calling the dark brown in Roma II and white ostrich in the large Roma, but I'm tempted by black, white ostrich in the smaller size, the light snake and think the brown lizard is pretty, but too much like the brown-black snake to consider... I don't care for the metallic at all. My limit is one more, if that, so I'd like to see the bag presented before ordering, but also don't want to do waitlist...

Re: Upcoming GILI Roma 2 TSV Questions :)

I'm trying to decide between the ivory ostrich and the blush. Do you think these colors could be used year round or are they only for summer?

Re: Upcoming GILI Roma 2 TSV Questions :)

I think the Ivory could be used year round as a winter white. There was a video for the large Roma in Ivory Ostrich and LR had is styled with a charcoal winter coat. It was a pretty combination. Not sure if the video is still available as they don't have options in the large Roma anymore. I am torn between the Ivory and the Natural. I'd rather the large Roma though. Wish they would bring that one back.
