9671 is Marmo, a 'marble' color, which would be consistent with what this looks like. Thanks, ss, I couldn't really see the numbers, good eyes, you! I was seeing 9621!

This bag is authentic
I am not able at this time to tell you the color since I am at work
The lining is pretty marked up with ink
I doubt it will come out but you can send it to Modern in NYC and have it cleaned
The colour is Truffle from Fall 2009
Von to the rescue
Ty didn't have my lists
I was at work
The colour is Truffle from Fall 2009
Yay! Thank you! I'm trying to get in touch with the seller to see if I can still purchase it. Last question. This is the bella right?
Could you please have a look at this bag? Is this actually a 'large tote' and just an older version (see the different handles and seamed bottom)?

Thank you!
The Nero Tote from Fashionphile is authentic, IMO.
I'm not sure I understand your question though - are you asking if this was a precursor to the Rete Tote?
The Roma is missing the required pics - namely the authenticity tag sewn into the interior zipped pocket.
If authentic, it wouldn't be Ebano. More likely it is Moro. Romas of this vintage weren't offered in Ebano as they were Nappa Umbria and it was never done in Ebano to my knowledge.
When you ask the seller for the relevant photos, post them here and we can revisit the request.

Thanks for your answer!
Yes, for the first one, I meant the Rete tote, sorry. Did the handles change at some point or is it just a different bag?
I will ask for more photos from the ebay seller for the second.
The Black tote in the listing is a different bag. It's a bit deeper and has snaps that close the sides, as well as the rounded handles. It's from 2007.Thanks for your answer!

The bag we all refer to as the Rete Tote was first introduced in 2011 and has a slightly more horizontal shape than the one you posted, and has flat handles and a dog leash style clip to close the bag. (Well not really close, but you know...)
Great, thanks for the info! Unfortunately that bag sold already but hopefully it made someone happy.
Here are the additional photos from the Roma (working link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20178950746...38.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&rmvSB=true) including the inner tag. Thanks again!
To chime in my 2 cents
This Moro Roma is not in such great shape
I didn't look at the price they were asking but I would pass
The black tote is in much better shape
I remember this tote
It is very deep
You could carry magazines in without crinkling them
It was a nice tote for work
Deep roomy but it had snaps at the top sides so if you weren't carrying that much
It was a chic work horse
Ah, thanks for your opinion. I am on the lookout for a tote in black, navy, or a dark brown that can hold papers and a macbook air. The bella is beautiful too but maybe a little small.
