Made my first Dooney.com purchase on 15Jun23 and it arrived today Sun 18Jun23. I received free shipping and it came soooooo dang fast. I ordered a large Dooney & Bourke Florentine zip pod backpack in the color navy. Was on sale for $199, but I had a $20 off coupon, taking it to $179. A really good deal for this beautiful new backpack. Just opening the box, the smell was delicious. The navy Florentine is absolutely beautiful. It’s not heavy and it fits my iPad 11 pro. I am very pleased with my purchase

I love your bag MnG! :loveeyes:

You received your bag so quickly! I was debating on getting a nylon Wayfarer Hobo on ILD for $69 with the code Splash, but, in addition to the fact that I just bought a nylon convertible backpack I love, I was concerned about the shipping timeframe. Economy shipping (5-11 days) is $15. I would have to pay $25 to receive it in 3-4 days. Once I order a bag I want it as soon as possible but this time I'm not willing to pay $25. I will continue to enjoy the bag I have (and continue to obsess about the nylon Wayfarer. :lol: )

Have fun carrying your new beauty!

Thank you. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the bag came. I am loving this backpack. if You don’t mind may I see a pic of your convertible backpack or can you tell me the brand and style? I would like a convertible backpack. I was looking at the Hobo convertible merrin. The Dooney and Bourke Florentine zip pod backpack looks prettier imo. I am a backpack girl
 
I have two convertible backpacks I'm currently loving. The first is a Radley London Convertible backpack in the color Port. Attached is my post of it in the WIMB thread. It's only available on the resell market now and I really wanted a true red bag, which I can't find on the resell market.

Currently carrying: Radley London Convertible Backpack (Purchased December, 2019):
I attached a keyring to the "Made in" tag inside the bag so I could hook my chain to the Dooney card case and the inside of the bag. I feel better pulling it out knowing it's attached. (I thought I put my coin purse in my bag once when I was at a donut shop and thankfully the man behind me saw it fall and told me it was on the floor. Since then I've been hooking my small wallets to the key leash if there's one, or attaching my chain to a keyring or inside zipper pull.)

My red Coach zip card case is a guilt carry. I knew when I bought it it wasn't going to work as a day to day wallet for me. (Because I bought it in green/teal a couple of months before and it didn't work, but I just had to get it in red, like that would change the functionality. :lol:)
Coach zip card case and Pocket Bac go in the front outside zipper pocket for quick access when I'm catching buses.
I only keep my earphones in the back outside pocket. The original strap allows you to convert the bag from a backpack to a crossbody bag. I bought it to carry crossbody because I loved the size and weight of it for an every day bag. I don't know what I did with the original strap. :confused1:

I purchased a Zocilor nylon convertible backpack from Amazon June 4th (arrived June 5th) and I've been carrying it everyday as a crossbody bag and loving it. I really love the outside zipper compartments. I wish the backpack strap was detachable like the Radley bag because I'm going to carry it crossbody most of the time. I'm using my CBB strap I had for my other bags. The Zocilor bag comes with a shoulder strap, not a crossbody strap. The nylon is surprisingly durable. Not quite up to Dooney's standard, but a good texture to use for an everyday and/or carry on backpack.
