...but I still bought it anyway.
I finally (FINALLY!!) got to see Spiaggia in real life yesterday. Both Park Meadows and Cherry Creek Macy's in Denver have it.
I was serously disappointed in how dull the colors are on a large part of it. I really wanted a dolce. Both stores had them, a total of 5 between the two stores, and all 5 were of the beach scene. Brown, brown, brown everywhere.
My second choice for a "small bag" was the Bambinone. Between the two stores they must have had 10. Only 2 looked decent, the rest were BROWN or had headless bikini girls. One was very bight and colorful (it was the pink part) but had NO characters I wanted. I settled for one that had the unicorn and two cut off Bastardinos (my fave character).
The Zuccas all contained headless bikini girls with their chest front and center. Ive decided there is only one specific print placement (for me) that actually looks good for Spiaggia on a Zucca and I've only seen one bag with it, so I ended up with a Gioco instead because I HAD to have Bastardino.
I saw several nice Stellinas but I don't like that style and at least 3 really nice BVs but again not a style I really like.
Not thrilled with either bag I did buy so in an unusual move for me I did not cut the tags off as soon as I came home. I will continue to haunt eBay and if I find ones that look better I'll return these.
I definitely don't Spiaggia the way I the other prints. Not enough bright color. And it looks like Trasporto is going to be even BROWNER....
