Happy new year everyone. I hope everyone had fun last nite and is intact today….


so my little heart is all warm and fuzzy and brimming with love. I don’t know if you remember me asking about gifting a bag to a friend. Well my friend loves it and she is really enjoying her gift. I really love her, I’ve worked with her 20+ years and she is a real gem…. The bag looks amazing and I’m so glad I gifted it to her. This is what she said

A win win all around. Your friend loves the handbag (yea!), you feel great
for sharing, and a beautiful handbag will get used!
Your instincts were in the right place when you decided to gift this handbag
to a lovely friend.

Beautiful bags. I purchased several Dooney bags and two Florentine satchels. The micro in chestnut is beautiful and it looks and smells real. The mini in natural, not so much to me. I did purchase all my bags for I Love Dooney or Dooney.com. The green suede is a brighter green vs my other bag, also the duck's bill is touching the stomach (all of my Dooney's have a space) and the smell isView attachment 5920984View attachment 5920985View attachment 5920986View attachment 5920987View attachment 5920988View attachment 5920989 off.

In this last pic I see what you are talking about with the tags being on opposite sides. Include this pic in the authentication forum. Humph I never really looked for that. I’ll have to inspect my collection and see what I can see…

Does anyone have this??? How do you like it? I missed out on the fuschia, but still looking…

That style has appealed to me.... but I haven't bought it. I love the look,
but since I hand carry my bags, it's not the right style for me and I have
to try to resist. I don't know if it's the elegant lines of the bag or it's
similarity to a very popular H style that keeps me wanting it. 😁

The mini Florentine satchel is a medium sized satchel, by normal definition.
The name is only a comparison to the other sizes of Dooney Flo
satchels. But it's still confusing.
I have the mini and the small Flo satchels. Until recently, the mini was more
than large enough for me. And it's lighter than the small Flo satchel.
Then for some reason I started carrying more junk and now I prefer the extra room in the small.

It's a beautiful color. But remember, Florentine leather in light colors
can soil easily and stains are absorbed into the leather.
Some people pretreat, but I can't give you any personal experience on that.
In the past you have opted for darker colors. So I just wanted to give you
a heads-up.

Thank you. I’ll spray it the rain and stain apple care before I use it. I wanted something in pale blue and here it is. Cheaper on Dooney.com. Ild eBay sent me an offer but it’s not cheaper than the sale on dooney.com
