Birthday HAUL at the Dooney and Bourke outlet in Aurora, Illinois…

[RuedeNesle]

Sigh… I guess I’m STILL celebrating my birthday and I’ve been bad, but I just could NOT let this go at $65. Y’all can spank me later, after my husband gets done… It’s the large Logan with dust bag. lets See how big she really is…
I’ll never make it to ban island at this rate…. The mantra is NOT working….
I have NO shame

Girl! At this point I think you've been banned from Ban Island!
But looking at your Birthday haul it was definitely worth being banned!
Now I want a red Logan. Heavy sigh.
ETA: You really did score on Logan. I just found a red Logan on Poshmark for $252! Too high for me.

The gift was lovely and unexpected. If you weren't so
in love with Florentine leather you might think it was a nice bag.
You could save it for 'rainy days'.

The style and color seem like they could work for many.
If you don't think you will use it, then pass it on to someone you
know who might love it. Or donate it to a charity or raffle for a good cause.
Don't feel guilty, just let someone who has different tastes appreciate
a brand new pretty handbag. It's a win/win that way.

Sharing is good for the planet.

You even got handbags you didn't know you wanted until you saw them calling
your name.

Oh yes. Wonderful ideas LJ. Thank you. As always I LOVE your incite. Donating/gifting will surely make someone’s day, as it did me when it was gifted to me.

That and a case of chips. I really can’t believe the variety of Florentine in great condition that I’ve been able to add to my collection. I have been truly blessed with deals in my sweet spot.



mailman should be dropping off a package any minute…

I noticed that on the ILD site they charge shipping, well after $119 it’s free shipping. On their eBay page, everything is all free shipping.

I did get a Florentine navy coin case off ILD eBay. Was $31 free shipping and $2 and cents tax. For a whopping total of $34.72.

Those coin purses are so adorable! They soften up so nicely. I use mine to store my AirPods in.

I made my first purchase last night from ILD eBay! $75.46 with free shipping.

 

[mushroomNgrass]

Awesome. They have great prices often times less than dooney.com and I love dooney.com. Can’t go wrong with free shipping. Dooney on poshmark is always higher and no free shipping.

im gonna use mine for my ear pods as well.

I was shopping resale sites for a small (coach or d&b) zip wallet, and the prices plus shipping - I was like I’m better off buying a brand new Florentine wallet through ILD eBay.

That is funny! Banned from Ban Island.
Money is such a personal subject and I overspend on some items and really watch my budget on other purchases.
A point of reference on how I priced my D&B new bags/never carried (all sold quickly) was florentine $495.00 and sold for $110.00 and Alto $650.00 sold for $165.00. I like to sell and not have to negotiate price.
Having said that, I closed up shop after a listing of White + Warren 100% cashmere sweater NWT received a $10.00 offer. There are good deals. I saw an alto Fina in black for $100.00 I would have snatched up, but too late because it came up sold. NWT's... sigh.

I bought a few of the Flo coin cases because others had said they were
so useful for extra credit cards. I had FOMO (fear of missing out when they
went on sale.) I couldn't fit any cards inside.
I still haven't found a use for these adorable coin cases.
They add weight to my handbags, so I really want to
be able to justify putting things in them.

I watch videos where many SLGs are used. Very organized,
but lots of extra weight and items in the bags. I'm always looking
for ways to organize, but not to add extra weight to my handbags.

Are the coin cases the same as the kiss lock little one? If so, I use mine for a cosmetic case (lip gloss, powder, mascara ect---just the basics).

No, the coin case has a zipper across the top and a zipper section in the front.
It's smaller than the kiss lock and a different shape.

I'd say the kiss lock can hold more volume due to its shape. The coin case is probably about the size of your palm. They're small, my AirPod Pro case fits inside it. Good to use to put your jewelry in it, like if you're at the beach or pool.
