babies. I'm glad you have found purse peace. It's a rare
state for a handbag lover to achieve.

Never thought I would feel this peace while looking at my collection. I’m not e ven looking at bags on line to buy anymore. This binocular bag is EVERYTHING right now. It’s small but the perfect clown car bag! And it’s really beautiful it has a little patina sheen and it glows. I was so scared of natural Florentine bags. I’m still learning how to maintain natural Florentine bags. I can’t wait to be able to handle my medium mail satchel in natural.
I’m so ready to get in and organize my collection better Cameron .ok I lied I did look at that Florentine pocket drawstring on qvc in salmon. It’s beautiful but I won’t buy anything else for now….

And if you are lucky, when you are ready to buy again (we always are) then that
bag might be on ILD at a great price!

I have some older Florentine bags with the side pockets. Just know, unless the designs
have changed, those side pockets are really small. They might fit some mints or meds
or earpods, but that's about it. I'm not even sure my car key would fit...
and I don't like carrying valuables in those outside pockets anyway....

Ok so I’m done. Stick a fork in me gotta build my savings back up….

I’ll finish getting the plastic off in the daylight
I don’t wanna cut anything

Florentine pocket crossbody in the color plum arrived…. I had to move out of my binocular bag because of rain.i really didn’t want to move out but rain demanded me to move out. this plum crossbody will get sprayed with apple rain and stain and worn… cute little bag. Love the color. So I ordered this cutie before my trip to the dooney store. I got a great deal on this bag and it has plastic on that I’ll take off in the day light tomorrow so I don’t cut anything. Since it’s darker I figured after I spray it, it’s good to wear anytime. Anyone else have ve this pocket crossbody? Can you give your impressions of this cutie please?

Be fore I retired I would have overlooked the Flo pocket crossbody as too small but I can host ld

say it’s perfect for a mininmal carry and plenty of room for a medium sized wallet,, Flo small coin case hand sanitizer, I walk charger, ihphone @5 pro max, Flo card case.hand cream tube, heaters, pen, tissues, sunglasses in case, … and still hsd room for med Flo wristlet which I use as my key pouch. Its a great crossbody size for my recovery, slim ans compact but fits everything I need and doesn’t get in the way of my cane action….so instead of using a heavy Florentine wallet, I’m using my coach wallet in the retired Peyton print thst I love…I have many pouches in this print but I can’t find them since my stay in hospital for the stroke, hubby put them somewhere up in my purse room and I hz ent found them yet but I’ll keep looking, Ss I know they’re in the house somewhere maybe in the purse I wore thst dat which was the large Florentine Hattie’. I’ll have to look inside it and see what’s there…and these ouch Peyton print items are coated canvas which I just found out, I know they’re lighter than leather and that makes me happy hers a pic of the wallet. I love this Peyton print, it makes me happy looking at it I do have the card casein this print, but I’m using Florentine….. maybe illl switch out and see which I like better…

I love your new plum Dooney. Color is amazin and makes me happy just to look at it. Love the style and detailing on the handbag. I've often admired the Flo pocket crossbody, but it's too small for me. I'm amazed at how
much you can put inside it. Enjoy your new find.

Thanks LJ I think you might enjoy the binocular bag as it holds more but is still compact. I’m going to enjoy them both I love the old school look of them with the beautiful whipstitching the front. I really love the plum color it’s dark but not too dark I miss the purple which comes thru beautifully. Wish they had plum accessories to match but oh well I’m happy with the bag.

You might be lucky that there are no plum accessories around or you would be tempted to
collect them. Years ago I had only 2 sets of purse accessories.... one for summer and one set for winter. Then I fell down the rabbit hole and started collecting the SLGs. Somehow I though I need a complete set in every color. In reality, changing all those SLGs whenever I change a handbag is just too much work.... finding them and then switching out the contents.

I know the leather SLGs make my bag heavier so I’m ok with the coated canvas pretty accessories that I already have. I wouldn’t change them out because Ilove the print, and they look really good in my bag.. so I will keep a Flo small coin case in my bag with the other accessories. Ts crazy that I’ve gotten some of the Florentine slgs and don’t carry them in my bag. Med Flo wristlet holds my keys and I have a few of them. I do like the medium florenrine wristlet. Coming up from the rabbit hole…. Clawing my way up. Nite nite

Hi everyone. I’m so upset the Aurora Illinois dooney store has been closed…..
So I did get a chance to go on Memorial Day. I was sad to see that they didn’t have much Florentine… but the store had plenty of inventory…. I made enough purchases that day , I made the quota for the day…. I’ve found another outlet to order from thanks to dooney addict615. She did a live stream yesterday in the store and I called and ordered from the ******* ct. store. Oh I got them locked in my phone… and they told Methe Aurora Illinois store closed last week. Tears formed in my eyes. And started rolling… 😔

So sad to hear this. I like to browse there when I’m in town to see family and friends. It seems like you really enjoyed the store as well.

Sad news. I have fun memories of shopping there with my BFF, cousin and a friend I met through the QVC forum when I lived in Illinois. It was never really busy, even on holiday weekends so sadly it was inevitable, like the store that closed out here in Livermore.

Oh Rue, I’m devastated. I loved going to that store. Each time I wenti had it to myself as it was empty sigh. I hope they could open another store in Illinois. If they build it… we would come… at least I would go
