Thank ya. That Carrington is lamb skin? Wow that’s pretty cool. It’s the large with the tassel on it? i hope you get your red Florentine during one of the great holiday sales. Would be to much to ask for another glitch sale like before…I don't have any Florentine accessories. My red Pebble Grain medium zip wallet and frame coin purse are looking good obviously because of the type of leather. My red lambskin Carrington pouch/wristlet looks MY age!I don't use it often, mostly in my suitcase for an additional travel pouch. But it looks like I use it and throw it around every day. I don't know if any other color in lambskin wears that way. I do want a red Florentine wallet at some point.
Yes the large one with a tassel. Carrington debuted in lambskin. Then Dooney offered it in other leathers, as well as coated canvas and croco.
I'm hoping for a good sale! I missed the first glitch and it was painful watching all the Dooney youtubers I follow with their Glitch sale hauls.
If there's another one I hope I catch it. 
Me too! It's such a beautiful color, and so unique on this bag. Definitely an eye catcher. With kids, I can't imagine the tiny finger prints I'd have all over this bag. LOL
how are the black friday sales?Yes the large one with a tassel. Carrington debuted in lambskin. Then Dooney offered it in other leathers, as well as coated canvas and croco.

They're okay, but I don't think I purchased anything because the sales at Dillards, Macy's (when they sold Dooney), Belk, etc were better. And I could run to the outlet for in store sales. I may have to check out Dooney and ILD Black Friday sales this year.
Don't know if Dooney will do "12 Days of Dooney" this year. I'm not sure how successful it's been. I only bought one thing in all the years of 12DOD and it was a valet key chain, which I still use every day and love.
It's hard to know what is a good price unless you are following a particular handbag.
Discount % is somewhat meaningless since it's often on top of something other
than list price. And those list prices have gone up a lot over the years.
Best advice, write down you wish list and keep track of the sale prices.
Then decide how badly you want the item and if you will cave for 50% off or
hold out for a deeper discount.
Remember to calculate the price you will pay
and not be lured by the discount %. An extra % off on top of an already sale
% discount is usually a good buy.... but you can't add the % together.
If the bag is half off (50%) then any extra % loses half of its impact.
For example, 50% off + 30% off only equals 65% off! Still a great deal,
but not as good as 70% off. AND, lots of the sales are 'up to' % off),
so until you put the item in your cart and put in the discount code, you
really don't know how much of a discount is being applied.
It takes a lot of work to find great deals.

Hopefully someone gives the heads up if there is the glitch sale. I am definitely going to drive to the outlet on Black Friday. That medium toggle bag that included in the Florentine sale, I will get now. I wanted to try that toggle crossbody for a while. At $129, great price, I’ll take it, and it’s teal, how can I resist? I’ll wait on the double zip wristlet…
I worry about color transfer too. I would hate to ruin a beautiful bag like this.
I replied to you too in that thread - i didn't realize it was the sales one. LOL. I need more coffee.
Teal in Florentine leather is beautiful. I broke down and bought
the Flo Hattie D/S in teal earlier this year. I just had to have the color.
Or carry a full size garbage bag to stuff the touchy bag in if the weatherman is wrong. I look crazy or like a thief trotting across the parking lot with a trash bag full of only-I-know-what.
Thanks Rue for the lambskin info. I've got a red one stored that I need to inspect.I don't have any Florentine accessories. My red Pebble Grain medium zip wallet and frame coin purse are looking good obviously because of the type of leather. My red lambskin Carrington pouch/wristlet looks MY age!
Which size Hattie did you get? Small, medium or large? Have you had any issues with the logo lock on the side? Its a beautiful bag, but when I saw people crazy gluing it, it didn’t interest me anymore.
You're welcome LB! If it's been stored I'm sure it's okay. Tomorrow I'm packing for a trip to Vegas on Sunday. I'll try to remember to take a couple of pictures to show what it looks like now.
