Default She's Here!!! My Roma in Old Petra!!!!!
It has been awhile since my last BV purchase... but I recently scored a gorgeous, brand NEW Roma in Old Petra on eBay for $1600! I got this lovely from an absolutely lovely seller and she arrived yesterday! (She smells a little musty but is otherwise pristine...) I can't seem to find my digital camera so i took pictures with my iPhone... I brought her to work today and she is absolutely GORGEOUS!

Old Petra is indeed a yummy yummy shade. For all those who also have something in OP, I was wondering what you wore with her? I would love any and all suggestions!

Great shoes (and I read about them in the other thread--very good deal!), but most of all I LOVE your OP Roma! That's not a color I'd imagine myself liking if you just described it to me, but it is such a beautiful, beautiful bag. Congratulations!

Old Petra is such an amazing colour. I agree with LLANeedle. I too think you can wear just about any colours with it. Congtratulations on your fantastic buy!!

That bag...that bag has been in my dreams for the past two years! I missed out on it twice when it finally went on sale (didn't have the 1950 euros at the time). It is a stunner! What a fabulous bag Enjoy her!

Beautiful! I have an Old Petra satchel and I find it goes really well with black (which is good because that all that I wear 99% of the time), but also browns, purples, blues and greys... so pretty much everything!

And by the way - it may just be an iPhone picture, but I think it pretty much captures the essence of Old Petra the best that I have seen to date... I certainly haven't been able to take a picture of mine that does that!

I have the same bag jeshika, congrats, great price and a super color. I'm surprised BV didn't keep this color in the line. OP is such a chameleon, it really shows off the BV leather.
