Bumping! Anyone pick up a new alto or want to share pics of their own? I'm feeling the urge to buy another one but I'm trying to focus on diversifying my collection first! But honestly, I could be very happy buying only Alto handbags for the rest of my life :)

I hope Dooney releases some new alto styles soon. I feel like they've been put on sale but no new styles to replace them…

The first one should be here this week, in coral, and was a birthday gift to myself. The third one in saddle is my anniversary gift. DH said I can look at it a few minutes to check for flaws but I cannot have it until June. He is a keeper for sure!

I see they have the Giorgina that was at Macy’s last year but Macy’s had blush. I hope Dooney.com gets the blush...ho, ho, ho. I see a Christmas gift in my future.

Thank you! I already have a coral alto satchel but this little bag is a sweet little pop of color that had me smiling ear to ear when I unpacked it. It will go with everything and is so light. I like the little latch, too. This is my first alto Crossbody and I can’t wait to use it. I only carry meds, an ID, tissues and lip gloss in the summer so this will be perfect.

I was going to get the saddle color but nearly half my altos are that color. I am glad I decided to go bold. It is closer to a watermelon or strawberry color. When I think of coral I picture a color that is more orange/peach. It was a good day today!

The color of your new Alto sounds lovely. And I think you made a good choice to expand your Alto color collection. So many Alto handbags are saddle, black, or red. Even if we love those colors, after a while it's hard to get excited about another one in the same color palette. And if we are not excited, then we have little reason to buy another handbag.
Enjoy your new treasures.

For those of you that have an Alto in the natural color, what can I expect in the way of staining/getting dirty? I have had a few Boldrini bags (aka Alto) show up at my local TJMaxx and I'm quite tempted to hold onto a few of them, deadline for returning or changing my mind is approaching. Is it "normal" to catch these at TJX or did I just hit a fluke? Thanks for comments!

The appearance of Alto and Boldrini at TJM appears to be a recent thing. I wouldn't count on it happening too often, or even again. As for your question about Alto leather in natural, I don't own that color. I was concerned that it would stain or get dirty,
so I chose darker colors for my collection. I don't even know if the color will naturally darken like untreated Vachetta leather.

I was also wondering if it could be dyed! I have a great leather guy not too far away, was thinking of showing the bag to him and maybe getting creative, but not a clue how it would take dye. Maybe I'm too "out there" with that, I've never had the natural and I wonder if I'll regret it, it may very well show everything. No clue about how often I'll see these bags -- I haven't been into TJX in ages and when I recently started checking it out again, there they are! Thanks for your comments!

I have one bag im the natural - I've had it for 2 and half years. I don't think it has gotten darker. Mine hasn't stained or gotten dirty BUT, I don't use it a lot. When I do use it, I make sure it's not rainy. I do baby it some what. It jas a few scratches, but nothing major. It still looks beautiful and I enjoy carrying it.

I have an alto in chestnut and it definitely got stained and scratched - very visible! But I think it's gorgeous and I don't baby mine at all. I enjoy the patina process! But the color hasn't really changed/darkened yet.
