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

I’ll let you know what kind of material it is when it comes. Will be my first non Florentine bag.. I wanted the Florentine saddle bag, which looks like this, but theyre hard to find. There are plenty in shearling but I don’t like the look of them.
Ahh, ok this is a recent purchase. I didn’t even see that bag on ILD.

In fact, most of the bags you’ve shown, I can’t find on either site anymore. Their collections move fast.

Oh yes. Most of the bags I’ve gotten are discontinued older bags. I got some awesome deals off eBay poshmark, MercarI. Some knew some preloved.
I saw some YT’ers review the Mitchell bag, and it’s a shame they didn’t continue that line. That bag is really nice looking, especially the way it opens. Unique, almost like their hand-fitted doctors bag from back in the day.

Coach shipping bags can be messy if you cut them.
I've had the stuffing all over the place.
Aside from that there is the issue of not protecting the contents
(depending on what is inside).

I've learned (the hard way) that these bags should be opened
with the pull tab on the flap and not with a scissor or torn.
They need to redesign and rethink these padded bags.

Thanks LJ. I think they’re cute. ild sold out of the teal toggle crossbody and then they upped the prices on everything. You really have to watch them I see. People were really feeling that sale because most everythibg is gone. So instead of getting that teal crossbody for $129, I got my first black dooney quilted spicy messenger bag For $104. I think I will enjoy it more since it’s not Florentine. I will fit over my huge winter down coat

I don't think I've ever seen a Dooney with quilting. Love the look.
I'm noticing a lot of quilted handbags these days... it seems to be very much
in style across many brands.. In addition to YSL and Chanel, Coach has
been doing puffy and quilted handbags for the last few years.
Hope you love your new Dooney and I'm looking forward to your
review.

I love your charms! I have looked at the cherry and dice charms a hundred times. I don't know why I don't own either one at this point. Love the charms on your beautiful bags. :loveeyes:

LJ the envelope was ripped during shipping. USPS placed the torn envelope inside a plastic bag saying my package was damaged during shipping. So when I saw the shredded envelope I was very concerned about the condition of the bag. Beside the stuffing being all over the bag it was in good condition. No dents or dings and had some foam protection covering parts of the bag. But after that coach outlet incident no more bag purchase from them. I will purchase from coach.com and get it gift wrapped in the coach box, but I haven’t found anything I like there except charms.

Thank you. I have been eying them for awhile and had them in my cart. They were on sale and they gave me a birthday 10% off each piece. So I went ahead and got them. They are super expensive on the second hand market. I didn’t realize how substantial they are until I handled them. They are very well made and a have little heft to them. I like the fact they won’t scratch my Florentine. And they make my bags a little more interesting and fun. Something different than a puff.

This was also a birthday haul charm. It’s on my little chestnut domed crossbody.

I need to go on coach and look at their keychains. I love the bags they’re making with fruit designs, they’re adorable.

Dooney needs to step up their keychain game LOL! Bring back the gold duck keychain from a few years ago. The markups on those keychains (reselling sites) is crazy high.

It’s hard to find Dooney keychains. I wanted the fat duck but I know it’s heavy and dont want that weight swinging and damaging my Florentine. I will have one at some point. Ild eBay had them for $18 with free shipping. They also have dooney umbrellas. I want one

Yeah that $18 deal was 2 weeks ago, I got a keychain then for my Buckley. They’re back up to $29 now.

The fat duck keychain is what I have saved between Poshmark & eBay.

Ild ebay will have them again. They’ve got the small coin case on sale again. The wallets too but not at the same price. They have my Tilton $20 less than what I’ve paid, but they only have natural and chestnut. I hate that I missed the teal toggle crossbody for $129. I can expect the second hand market to be flooded with everything from this Florentine sale.
I am happy to score that quilted messenger, I haven’t seen that style and it’s interestingly cute.

The envelope stuffing was gross and all over the place but the bag was ok. It was so cute I couldn’t resist. But I vowed not to buy any bags from the coach outlet after that. I will buy from the actual outlet store instead. I figured the charms would be fine shipping in an envelope. But the sent a huge box. Smdh

That is a Seriously Gorgeous bag! I'd have to have a "word" with c/s tho regarding shipping. That nasty paper (I've had things arrive in that sort) isn't fit to ship ANYthing in. Dust just flies out everywhere! So glad your bag wasn't injured!
