Influenced by Diane's passion for gray, I picked up these fabulous Aquatalia boots the other day at Nordies. They are so comfy - wore them all day yesterday. They are perfect for our recent crazy CA weather. A downpour one day followed by freezing nights.

Wish I had a pair of those boots right now.

I just received my Cruise 2017 Collection catalog. I'm "supposed" to be working from home today. I just couldn't resist taking a peak. I'm intrigued by the new Cervo Roma and the Milano '17 bags.

What do you ladies think of the Mini Roma in New Steel or the color New Steel in general?

Thinking about getting a Mini Roma. Debating between Prusse and New Steel.

The mini Roma is cute but too small for me. I need to see new steel IRL to be fair in weighing in on the color assessment. I'm digressing a bit...The Cervo Roma in new steel looks fabulous in the catalog, but I think it tends towards a taupy gray. I'm keeping in mind that Cervo leather takes on dyes in a very saturated tone. The Cervo Roma is only available in new steel. It hasn't been released yet according to Danah at the Valley Fair boutique. The price is $3K. Wanted to add that the Milano '17 hasn't been released yet. It's price is $4.3K.

I never felt a thing for the Roma until I saw the Mini Roma. It seems to work for me as a small crossbody.

Saw the Cervo Roma - is that a small or medium?

New Steel and Fume are very difficult to describe [emoji848]

I saw a mini one in China red a couple of days ago, it's nice outside, not too big, not too bulky tho quite structured, the only con (for me) was they still do three sections, imho in such a small bag it's a bit silly, as all you have inside is leather, dividers, suede lining but totally no room for your stuff. It would be a lot more practical if they made only 2 sections, or even one, keeping the outer shape within Roma style. That's my personal opinion, but i feel that Pillow, which i always avoided due to her small size, works better for me (recently got the silver one)
Good luck deciding and happy holidays! :smile:

I, too, love the cute mini Roma. It seems structured compared to what I usually like, but it's very cute. I'm trying to take a break from additional bag acquisitions right now so I'll have to enjoy it from afar......besides, I still love the pillow for a small bag and have plenty of those right now.

I'm gathering more Intel on the size of the Cervo Roma. I agree on the color descriptions. I need to see new BV colors in person.
