Hi LJ!
Thanks! I do too! Didn't you get it when it was the TSV? Funny you should ask if I still use mine. I pulled it out after I saw this woman carrying hers, but I haven't used it yet. (I took this picture last weekend but forgot to post it until today.) When I stop using a bag I try to leave my last receipt or something with a date on it in the bag so when I pull it out again I know when I last carried it. This bag has a Muni transfer in the inside zipper pocket dated October 12, 2014! Maybe it is time to take her out again.
RN: Dooney seems to be bringing back some of the older styles... different leathers or different trim details. And I couldn't be happier. I loved some of those satchels with the exterior zipper pockets. I don't think I got this particular TSV.... was it a smooth leather? But I have that style in Dillen leather or plain pebbled leather. Love the side, the shape, and the wider base.
Talking about old TSV's has made me think about the accessories that QVC used to include. And yes, I know we paid for them. At the time, I wasn't 'into' coordinating and changing my accessories. So... I didn't appreciate the cosmetic pouches and key fobs. Now.... I'm drinking the kool-aide (and I think you know what that reference means)…. I wish they would bring back the accessories. With all the better price options available elsewhere.... bundling the accessories might incent me to buy a Dooney from QVC. Easy pay is not a factor for me, but variety of colors and accessories.... might enable me to 'justify' the price! Oh how I miss all the small Florentine satchels that QVC used to have in a large rainbow of colors..... finding those colors in Florentine these days is impossible. I remember presentations with over 15 colors in Florentine on display.

Mornin' LJ!
It's like pebbled leather. It was the TSV May, 2010 (I save my Order Status emails so I didn't have to do too much digging to find this info.
) It's Item A202338 if the link doesn't work.https://www.qvc.com/Dooney-&-Bourke-Leather-Satchel-with-Accessories.product.A202338.html?productNumber=a202338&sc=ISRC
I use the expression "drinking the kool-aid" too!
I think the things I looked forward to with a Dooney TSV were the accessories. Also, they were bags you couldn't get on Dooney.com , ILD, or at the Outlet, which made them worth the TSV price. Now, you just have to wait a few months and you can get the same bag for more than half the TSV price, and even if you buy a matching accessory you still save money.I miss the small Flo satchel with all the color options too! Those were always fun presentations!
By the looks of it & the number of your pics in this thread, you do quite well remembering to snap a photo!I finally remembered to actually take a picture of a Dooney sighting! I usually just stare until it's too late.
This is my first Dooney QVC TSV bag. Mine is navy. This looks black. I haven't seen anyone carrying this bag in a long time! View attachment 4666396

I used to keep an eagle eye out for Dooney bags when this thread was more active, and more people were posting pics. Now I forget about it most of the time. I'm going to try to remember more often.
I arrived at my dentist this morning to this fine specimen of a Dooney in the most beautiful condition. It cheered me right up

It would have cheered me up too!

Yes, the Smith Bag in Florentine leather is beautiful.... big and it's heavy because of all that thick Florentine leather. Even back in the day (when it was first released) it seemed too heavy for me and I passed on it. Now.... when ever I get tempted by it's beauty, I remind myself why it's not already in my collection.Wow, that is A LOT of gorgeous bag! I wish I had one of those...plus someone to lug its majesty around.
It's been a minute! I was finally able to capture at least some of her Dooney bag. It's the Domed satchel style R097C.
Hi LJ! Thanks!
It really is! I'm always trying to find one. I spent three hours (not by choice, waiting for my GDD) last Thursday sitting outside the Embarcadero handbag watching. What I noticed is so many women are carrying backpacks or sling bags, especially around the Embarcadero/Ferry Building since it's a tourist area. Even I'm carrying a nylon convertible backpack, that I'm carrying crossbody. I'll continue my search!
Many women I know have ditched their leather handbags for lighter weight options.
And younger women are carrying backpacks. That doesn't leave much of the
population to appreciate and carry nice leather bags.
I still lug around my leather bags, but it's a struggle.
Of course when I put my things in a nylon bag, it's heavy too!

Spotted at the 99 cents store. I was going to try for a better picture but the lady ahead of her let her go first since she only had one item, so the shot was blocked.
