Thanks! It is tough deciding. And I'm liking that the grey is more of a mushroom. I thought I wanted grey grey, but this color is super nice. Lisa R. Is getting a lot of flak for calling it grey. I've seen other boots and items get called grey that seem really taupe/brown. Never understood that. But if she called it mushroom or mushroom grey even, she would've had one less gripe from people. I'm digging it. And the Chestnut. Grrgh. Trying to keep one. We'll see.
And I get you wanting to avoid another Croco. These are my first exotic style bags so it's a tough choice. But you picked well.
:)


I really like the mushroomy color of it too. I read though the reviews on QVC today and people are complaining and returning the gray because they are saying it was misrepresented. I didn't think it looked like a true steel gray in the pictures and in the video. Colors are very interpretive. Good luck with your decision. You can't go,wrong with either one. The ostrich seems to me like it will soften more than the Croco, but I'm just going by what they look like on TV. You're right. The snake is pure mush...in a good way. I like the bag organizer in it so it will at least stand up somewhat when set on a table.
 
Ohhhh, it looks nice on you. And what a great and thorough review. Yeah, the Snake and Black are total slouch bags. Which is what I want and like. The Ostrich and Croco are stiffer. But I heard they break in. But no clue how much. I'm sure not as much as the Snake or Black. I carry a lot of things and the bag never feels heavy. Maybe because I'm used to Dooney weight. Lol.
But that Cream is pretty. You'll see the difference when you get the other bags. Can't wait!
:)


Thanks Bobetta! I actually hope this one doesn't get softer because it's almost too soft. The weight of the leather strap and big tassel also weigh down the top so the whole thing just collapses. I'm not used to this after carrying Dooneys for a couple years. You're right, everything seems light after carrying Dooney's. Lol
 
Oh wow, love the snake, great review, really a pretty bag.

Thanks Hopi!

OMG, it's so pretty! Can't wait to get mine!

Thanks MaryBel! I can't wait for you to get yours too because I want to see it. :smile1:

Cream snake is beautiful! :loveeyes: It looks great on you!

Thanks for the pics and review! I emailed Joy, who hasn't been in the forum for a while. She ordered cream snake and I know she would love to see your pics and read your review.

Thanks RN and you're welcome! Can you imagine this bag in red? That would be a stunner huh? ;)


You and the bag look gorgeous!! You don't sound thrilled.

Thanks T! No, I am thrilled. I'm sorry. I should have been a little more enthusiastic. I was in serious review mode. Lol. I think it's stunning and a very sexy bag. I really want the other colors to arrive so I can compare them all. The quality is top notch, especially for this price. I really like how they took such great care in the packaging and presentation. Everything about it is quality. I really do think Lisa Robertson takes pride in her GILI line and it shows.

Gorgeous! It looks great on you, TB.

Thanks Sarah! I love it!

OH GOOD!!! I was going to feel bad after how I raved about the quality of the Roma 2. I agree. It's a great quality for the money. I can't wait to get mine and to see the rest of yours!!

Oh no T! You described it perfectly and I totally agree! It's stunning! I want so badly to load her up for tomorrow but I feel like I should wait until I get all three in case one has to go back. That's why I left the wrap on the handle and tassel. I'm pretty confident it's not going to be this snake, so maybe I should just go ahead and load her up! :)

Twoboyz, the snake is gorgeous, go ahead and carry her and if she has to go back you got till Janurary 31. Like C says that bag is hot, it really looks beautiful on you.
Stop feeling guilty.
 
Here is the cream snake. I really don't have anything bad to say about this bag. It came stuffed to its gills with nicely rolled pieces of tissue and in its dustbag, which is pretty nice. It's a pretty big bag compared to what I'm used to, and a lot slouchier. It has no structure, but with my bag organizer it stands up pretty nicely. The lining is thick and a great quality. The hardware is pretty nice, but not as thick and heavy as Dooney's. The zipper is smooth. The inside pockets are really functional. One thinner one that gussets out a little for lipsticks or pens. The other for a cell phone that is very generous for the bigger smart phones. The zipper pocket is a good size. I know the black will be just as slouchy as this, but I'm anxious to see how the ostrich one compares.

The picture has the bag organizer in it. I took off the long strap because I don't think I will ever use it. Not the best outfit, sorry. It's just what I had on today.

It is beautiful! Looks amazing on you and the color of the snake is definitely a gorgeous neutral. It would spice up any outfit. Good review, too:))

Thanks Nebo. :) I did wear it today. DS had to do a double take when he saw it this morning because it is very similar in color to one of his Boas that he used to have. ;)
