Dooney Collectors: Do you collect boots and shoes?

[G.Allyn]

Hello!

I was going through my boot and shoe collection and wondered if Dooney and Bourke handbag collectors have my problem.

I seem to have an issue with accessories. Namely, boots, but also shoes and winter scarves (Reiss). Am I the only one? If you love Dooney, which I do, I find it difficult to pass up boots and shoes. Boots are a huge problem!

You need nice boots to go with great Alto and Florentine bags. My favorites are Aquatalia, L.K. Bennett, Jimmy Choo, Giuseppe Z. and Gianvito Rossi. Please, excuse any spelling mistakes.

Tell me I am not alone.

G.Allyn: You are not alone. I used to collect shoes and boots. And gloves, scarfs, and hats too.
Of course, clothing is a must also. Yes, when you have the collector gene.... and the completion
gene.... it's easy to get caught up in collecting the things you love. Watches and jewelry and
tablecloths and fine bone china have all had their turn.

My current collecting seems to be handbags and
clothing. This winter I indulged in cashmere sweaters. I'm easily tempted by all accessories. Main thing that stops me from buying more shoes and boots are my very hard to please feet and knees.

Fortunately, I don’t collect shoes. I’m happy using the same pair every day. That means I have more money to spend on bags...
