LL: looks like Florentine to me. But.... you have to be happy.
No guarantee the next one will be any better. I always consider the
cost of the bag, and the cost of the return, and the cost of the replacement
in my decisions. Remember, Dooney and ILD don't do exchanges.... you need to
order a new bag and return the old one in separate transactions.
Any points applied to the first bag are lost. I've been there.... made the phone calls,
waiting for CS for hours, their rules are their rules.
 
Lavender j, thank you...i appreciate the opinion! I'm also thinking another Tmoro will be the same. I'm reading more complaints with this color this year. The front I'm really ok with. The back is what gave me the pause. Of course I am comparing it to my smoother mini satchel and a you tube video.It feels like an ordeal to go through the return process so I will carry it around the house and see how I feel lwith it loaded up. And I will buff it a little.. it is dry in spots the photo isn't conveying. I will try another color at a good sale point again like the holiday and glitch sale. It is a nice bag! You were right! Feels lighter to carry. I got this one for 25%off plus some points for $195. Still better than the current $261 sale price, no code.

Have a nice weekend!
 
Hi Viv99! The Florentine Large Zip Barlow is one of my favorite bags. I have 4 (Natural, Denim, Tmoro, Steel Blue). I know some people don't like the 10" strap drop. Mine have loosened just a little with time but I have no problem with it over my shoulder. I love the organization the most ...so easy to get in/out with the magnetic closure. I don't feel it's too heavy to carry but it can be if you load it up.

What are you on the fence about? If you have to talk yourself into liking and keeping a bag...trust me I've done that..then you might not use it. Sometimes carrying it around in the house a day decides if you ship it back.
 
Thanks for the feedback! I bought it new from the main Dooney site, and it arrived a little creased. I got it on the 30% off sale plus got another $30 off by using points, but I'm still a little disappointed in the creasiness. I also already have a ton of Flo bags. I think I fell for the sale on the site since there's been a bit of a drought on D&B sales on the good stuff since the holidays. I'm also trying to use my points before they're discontinued. I'm considering returning it for a Croco Fino. I have one in red and it's gorgeous. :-s

I understand about the creasing and why you feel disappointed yeah. Natural is just gorgeous but unless it's such a fantastic sale that you are ok with what you don't like...i probably would get something else I know wouldn't sit in my closet. ...
The advice lavenderj gave me above on my brown tmoro Logan helped me so much to decide. I returned it as it really was too textured and dull in person for me. I wasnt reaching for it at all. I dont mind imperfections but i just didnt like this bag even with the great sale. I got a Chestnut Florentine Logan instead and I Absolutely love it!

Great advice from this thread, as usual :smile:. I'm going to give it another couple of days to see how I feel. I tried it on at a local Dillards a few months ago and loved it then. I'm not sure why I'm not head over heels now that I have it? Again, I so wish D&B had better QC. If it arrived in perfect shape, I'd be keeping it without hesitation.
