I wanted the Gina....
I saw it at the retail store in Dallas in Black, I did not buy it due to the handles. There is little inside the handles and I would have a problem scratching the leather eventually.
The bag is beautiful....so l ordered the Silvia in black.
I have the Monecilto Lillian in the Burgundy and the handles gives more room for the hand.
Yes online!
I was go to order Ms. Valentina in olive but when I saw Ms. Silvia was back in Black I ordered her quick!!!
A2J and IM: I saw the Valentina, the Silvia, and the Gina in person this week. The Silvia is very large and I thought the Valentina would be a better size and shape for me. I already have several large Alto bags, so I'm focusing on my midsize bags now.
The Gina was included in the 50% off sale in the retail boutiques and they did have one at the Westchester store. I didn't buy it because the shoulder strap is not removable and I didn't want it hanging down. The handle drop is relatively short, and I think it would work in your hands, but I'm not sure how this bag would carry over the wrist or on the arm.... because of the short handles and also because of the shape of the bag.

Would the Gina be any different than carrying the Chelsea? I am guessing the "magnetic closure" on this bag is referencing a flap with a magnet to cover the top of the bag that sticks to another magnet on the bag itself. Not sure how I feel about those. I have a few bags with the flap and while not ideal as far as style, it doesn't bother me in a utilitarian way.
I love my Chelseas and love the style of the Gina. I was crazy for an Evelina in blue but not sure about the odd "half rolled" handles that I had not noticed until I watched a video a few days ago. I would think they would dig into your hands after a while. Also worried about the bag swinging around while carrying it in my hands due to the chains.
Do the altos on ILD ever reach 50% off?
Life: I rarely see Altos at 50% off and can't ever remember seeing them on ILD at more than 40% off. Outlets no longer have Altos.
A2J: if Dallas is doing it, then hopefully the other retails boutiques will also. Sale on everything is something to save our pennies for. Thanks for the info.
I hope all stores will be having 50% in June....I do have a goal to meet!!!
Also, I called DB 800# today they advise the easy pay (3 payment) is a part of the online website now there is no end date for now!!![emoji818]️[emoji818]️[emoji818]️
