Thanks for the info. The more places we can find our Dooneys, especially the higher end Altos, the better our selection will be and hopefully we can find some good deals over time.

Does anyone own or have seen the Nora in real life? Do the handles fold down a bit so they're not in the way of the opening? TIA

Ok Ladies, this lady is in ... I need your opinion....the first picture is the actual purse & below is the online picture..... the color do not match......I was hoping the color was true to the picture online. 
Did you order the ginger color? Check the tag to be sure they sent the right color.
I've never seen the color in person,
but on my screen the bag you got looks like a saddle color or natural color. I though when I saw the presentations that
the ginger had more red in it.... maybe not as red as the online picture, but more vibrant than saddle or natural. Of course, it's also been described as ginger cookie color (by Sue Clifton, on QVC) and that is exactly what it looks like in your picture.
I just ordered the domed satchel in ginger. I don't have it yet. I hope it's a more intense color too.
What do you think of the handbag, except for the unexpected shade of the color ?
And do you like the color enough to keep the bag?
I love the style of the handbag and the smooth leather, it reminds me of the Alto Leather. I am thinking about ordering the Elephant color. I wanted that orange color for some reason. This color is more a Fall/Autumn Cognac color. At this moment, this Lady is still in box!
A2J: the Florentine Toscana reminds me of the Alto leather also. I'd love to get a handbag from that collection in
navy and one in ivy. I wouldn't mind red either. I already have the Bordeaux and it's stunning. I'll reserve judgment on the ginger until
mine arrives. I've seen other pictures of that color, taken at the outlets, and the color was much more vibrant
than the color in your picture. Maybe it depends on the batch since the dye jobs are 'artisinal' ... done in small batches.
At least that's the story. I've never acquired a taste for the elephant color.... in any of the leathers. But color is personal and we should each get what speaks to us.
