i have a sloane and it fits so well off the shoulder. i find the shoulder straps of the pyramid to be a bit too long for me. you cant go wrong with either choice. good luck!

Hi spendalot: Limo was more a "linen" color [beige w/grey undertones], but darkens with age. Camel is a true camel, beigy color and Maple is a beigey/pink tone - we're calling Maple "rosey-beige" in the store. I also forgot Pergamena; which is very close to an off white, almost eggshell, but not quite. Did those make sense? Lol.

Mmmkay so far I have .. Pyramid smaller but shoulder strap longer. Now what about the opening .. zipper vs. the mag. snap?? I WAS thinking Sloane because I wanted no metal showing .. but now .. in pics the Sloane looks big .. I'm happily undecided again!

With your stuff inside it helps too....it becomes very drapey. And the folded opening with the magnetic closure is so easy to get in and out of!

ooof! i love ferro. i saw a ferro sloane, and then jomashop has a ferro roma and immediately wanted them too, but of course i have the ferro new pyramid and that would be ridiculous.

congrats on the moro! cannot wait to see it and the ferro sloane if you buy it!

Hi...It appears to me that the pyramid would have easier access, as the opening is wider..Also it makes sense for security reasons to have a zipper..The pyramid to me emits a chicer look as it is trimmer, and I think it could be used for either casual or dress up, where the sloane seems strictly casual..

Yaaaaaa . EXCEPT the pyramid has the metal showing which I think makes it more casual. But now I'm thinking about that access thing .. if I open a sloane by gripping the edge of the bag to release the magnetic thingy, I'm always touching that edge with my hand and eventually there will be a dark spot (if it's not a black bag) ... and the pyramid is opened with the zipper so less edge-touching ......... mmmkay, I have beat this issue to death. On to the shopping!
Thanks, all!
