I want to travel with elegance and a dash of funk

I was in Laguardia yesterday and while waiting for my flight, spied an elegant funky lady carrying this bag. Turns out she was on the same flight we were, and I watched the bag float past me, looking for a logo, anything that might tell me how or where I could get one too. The flight droned on, and I slept a little bit and forgot all about the bag, and my amnesia continued as we deplaned. Once we got off the Hertz rental car bus, like a mirage, there the bag was in front of me. I seized the day and ran after the bag, asking the elegant, funky (intimidating) lady where she had purchased it. And, she nicely informed me she bought it at a Ro sample sale. Oh, Ro! I found this photo on the site, but no word on how to get one myself. Any thoughts on where to turn? Because I think this is something I really want.

   I understand your delimma and obsession. Been there!

   I found this on the internet, which shows the contact information for the Ro U.S. distributor. Maybe it will help you find the bag of your dreams! Seleta

   Oops, misspelled “dilemma”. [all 4 of my kiddos are sitting next to me and I was a bit distracted]

   Thanks Ladies! Joanna, its a good idea re the press folks. The weird thing about the website is that there are no photos of any products at all. I wonder if it has a bug with Firefox/Safari. Because there are NO images. But, I’ll call and give you folks the details.
