New light taupe Cameron. I like the color light taupe so much - got a Hattie in this color also. While I'm posting, I'll post the rest of the Cameron gang. Can you tell I really enjoy this bag? :yes:
Oh - and the Cameron cb. She's the baby.

Great colors to add to your collection. Enjoy your new treasures.
 
It’s official. As I was out gift hunting yesterday, I went into Kate spade, and coach outlet. I looked at and touched everything in each store. I didn't bother sniffing, as I didn’t want to be disappointed with any chemical smells… nothing caught my eye in coach. One bag caught my interest in Kate spade. Sigh I’m going to admit that I’m officially a Dooney Florentine girl. PERIODT

I have felt that way for a while. I would stop in KS and MK just because I was at the outlet. Then I just stopped going inside. When I went to Livermore in September and found out Dooney was gone, I went to KS and MK because I didn't have Dooney, but I felt nothing emotionally for anything I saw. I still like Coach, especially for their SLGs and charms. When I was in Vegas in October I didn't stop in KS or MK.
 
There are a number of cash back sites that offer varying cash back discounts.
What they want you to do is set up your computer so you always go thru a
particular site to get to your stores. But on any given day the cash back
discounts on any of the sites can change, and one may be better than others.
Also, using any of these sites probably increases the amount of tracking and
popup ads you see on your computer/phone.

Personally, I use both Mr. Rebates and Rakuten, and I check both
to see which one has a bigger cash back on that particular day, at that
particular time. Then I use that site to connect to the store.
I will admit that when cash back rebates goes from 2-3% to 10% I am
much more likely to buy more expensive handbags. I'm happy when the
cash back wipes out the sales tax, which can be hefty.
 
The more I've learned about leather and handbag quality, the more
I've come to appreciate Dooney.

I'm sure there are some excellent
quality handbags offered by the other contemporary designers, but
those are usually their most expensive collections. Until you learn about
the brand, it's hard to know which are the true gems and then to be
able to find them at a great price on sale or at an outlet.
The other offerings of the brand, don't hold much allure for me anymore,
even the beautiful colors.

I've bought too many leather handbags
at outlets or department stores (from other brands)
that are just not up to what I've come to expect since I
became a Dooney collector. So now, I mainly stick to Dooney.
Since I don't need to add another handbag to my collection for the
next decade, or two, sticking to one brand does help cut down on
the temptation.... a little bit. 🙄

As I felt, not smelt. The leathers felt hard and kind plasticky. Definitely not luxurious like Florentine. Kate spade had a few nice charms. Coa h didn’t have any charms. I’m officially spoiled by Florentine leather. After handling the bags in each store, I found myself petting the little florentine crossbody I was wearing. No comparison…

Gotta admit I love the snaps - which are most likely magnetic. DB Cooper spoiled me on the ease of magnetic closures.
