Hey my fellow Dooney-stas. We had discussed in several boards potentially have a "clubhouse" section where we could start threads for each collection, and not have them get lost in the shuffle. Well I asked the mods and they said they would "look into it." One of the things they are going to look for, is to see if there are already several "clubhouse type threads" going, so I'm starting the Alto club, and resurrecting all of the old ones I can find, please everyone start a thread for various collections, and make sure the word "club or clubhouse" is in the title. then I say after a week or so of our "club" threads going strong, we should all go to the feedback section [click on "Home" and scroll all the way to the end] and comment we want a clubhouse section, and inform them we already have several active "club" threads going. so anyway, on to the topic. Here is my Alto Collection:

Np, it's actually called the doctors satchel. Such a beauty, an older model though, I havent seen it anywhere in a lonnnnnggg time. But quote All2Joy, she is the Alto Queen (seriously, she has TWICE as many Altos as I do) who has miraculously been able to find older bags, I believe she may ha e come across this in the last few months or so. And thanx so much.

I don't know if this was posted elsewhere and if so, my apologies.



There is an issue with the grommets on the Evelina which is why they were pulled from stores. The SA I talked to wasn't sure what this meant for the model going forward. But the tangerine and coral were "recalled".



That being said, you wouldn't even be able to get my tangerine one away from my cold, dead hands. I flipping love that bag. I'm still tempted to buy it in coral BUT many of the other Alto coral and tangerine bags are 50% in stores including Pia, Adriana and Roma (pictured her by the SA in a pretty bad photo.)



Anyone have any issues with the Evelina grommets? Because I want Evelina but want to make a responsible decision. (HAHA! responsible decision to buy a pink handbag. Work with me, people! LOL! [emoji5]️)

I heard from the retail store that both Evelina and Arabella were recalled in all colors due to the grommets on the handles. Also, Evelina and Arabella leather finish is a matte finish.

The Roma, Adrianna, Pia, and Gina in the Spring colors will be a slight difference in the Shade of the spring colors.

From the picture you post my Evelina looks lighter in color coral. I called Maria in retail store to ask if the color natural in the Roma and Adriana were the same shade as the Evelina in natural, she said there is a difference and its lighter natural color. I have the Oriana in natural and my Evelina is lighter in natural.

I don't think I am the Alto Queen! Mrs Gucci (immigratty) clearly have more Altos than me! Click on my album link below to prove my point. My Evelina in Natural need to be uploaded to my Album.

I came across the regular doctor satchel from the 2013/2014 in navy. Someone on the PF purchase one a while back.

I give up! I'm getting the coral pink one. It's too cute and my favorite color is pink. I saw this color a couple of weeks ago and it's incredibly pretty.

I would say I'm moving to ban island after this but I know I'd end up swimming my way back off in a month. 😖 And if the Camel or Cream go on sale, I'm pouncing!

I pull a few outfits from my closet that has the Coral color, I wanted to see how this color will match up!
