Merry Christmas, Dooney devotees!
Looks like regular...suede on the floor at a restaurant! She is brave. :rochard:

My thoughts exactly! There was a chair right there next to her. Perhaps she likes testing the durability of Dooney. Or she could have had a had a purse-snatching experience from a chair in the past. There are ways to secure bags to chairs but many people don't consider that.

Great shot! Is that a piece of your Dooney I see in the corner of the pic?:smile:

:smartass: Congratulations on your eagle eye, Ruede! YES, that's the corner of my own Dooney, a Medium Florentine satchel resting peacefully and as secure as I could make it on its own chair (long strap looped around the chair leg).

Even the small part I see looks good! Enjoy carrying her!
I have a hook for my bag. And even if I didn't I would not put it on the floor.:shocked:

Yes, two of these are the same bag but still. :P This thread doesn’t see much action sometimes. So.:amuse:
We're good with two of the same bags! :smile: I love seeing action in this thread! Thanks for posting!
I missed my moment on the plane last week. A woman sitting one row up, and across from me was carrying a black Beacon satchel. I saw it when she was putting her stuff in the overhead compartment, but my phone was off so I couldn't get a picture before she moved to her window seat, and someone was sitting next to her. When we were deplaning I told her I love her Dooney, but didn't get a chance to get a picture.:sad:

I think it's great that you told her you loved her Dooney. We all like to hear that when we are carrying our Dooney treasures. Too bad you didn't have time for a discussion with her about how she liked her Beacon and how it was holding up. I would have been trying to sneak a look to see if it was scratched or the corners were looking good.

Hi LJ! Funny you should mention this. When I first saw the bag it looked well used (not scratched however), and I thought it was an older bag, until I saw the lining. She had it stuffed and open. When she was sitting down I saw the front, which is when I confirmed it was the Beacon. It looked like she uses it a lot. I don't think it will age well if you use it as a daily workhorse bag, and you don't baby it. But I wish I could have asked her those questions.
 
Tried to start a conversation with this woman but she wasn't talking . (The woman in front of her was though.) We were waiting for the bank to open in a minute or two. I said I'm lucky I get to stand behind the beautiful Dooney. The woman in front of her agreed but Dooney lady ignored us. So I didn't try to ask her questions about her Beacon CBB, but it looked very good. No marks or scratches, and it looked new.

At least you got to check out the condition. Thanks for reporting.
