Question about biker Ramona

soulmates4ever · Aug 18th, 2008, 11:19 PM

Hello everyone,

I am new to the purse forum however am officially hooked! What a dangerous place this is... :-)

Anyhow I wanted opinions on my first Jimmy Choo purchase. I found a Navy biker Ramona Ring bag for $800 brand new. Does anyone have any pictures of this (being worn/shoulder picture) and is this a good price or is there a chance I could get it for cheaper elsewhere on sale?

The name of that bag is not correct...typical for a department store to have misinformation on their websites....grrrr. That bag is a Drummed leather Ramona. It was recently on sale. So, if you can get an authentic bag for $800 - you have made a good deal. I have that bag in black and love it. If the Ramona you found has pictures, or is an auction, please post a link to it on the authentication thread, to have it authenticated. The link you posted is a stock photo of a bag no longer available.

That bag is not biker leather....it's drummed. And to me there is a world of difference. I personally don't care for the drummed leather (that whole elephant thing), but looove the biker leather with the watersnake trim!

And to be clear, in style that is a Ramona, not a Ring....again two totally different bags. But $800 for a JC Ramona in any leather is a great deal and if you love the bag, then you should go for it!

Hey, I thought we all got over the Dumbo references??? I do like my black one. I also have the Roxie in drummed leather...yum!

But it does drive me nuts

when the department stores can't get the name right...sheesh!

Hun....you know I love ya lke a sistah,

but the drummed leathah...you're on you're own!

AND! It is so all your fault!

YOU were the one who first pointed out to all of the world that the grey drummed leather looked a bit....you know....Disneyish....

I have the black biker leather and it is like no other. Beautiful and soft. I think the drummed and the biker have completely different looks and feel.

You would think a store could get their website correct! That entire name is a misnomer!
