When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Wristlet (Wristlet Strap)
I think "colla" might refer to the fixing on of the strap to the bag and wrist (colla= like glue), rather than to the upper "collo" area of the body.

... that is to say that the term is describing the fixing on of a small purse to your arm/wrist (so forget any similar sound reference to the neck area). See here:

clutch bag with shoulderstrap
This type of grammatical error, where the most important qualifier (it's a HANDbag) is shifted to later in the sentence, is common in English and other languages.
Often we don't even notice it - we just mentally rearrange the words so that they make sense.

: I agree - the (hand-held) knitted clutch comes with a shoulder strap. A picture would definitely help, though.
