Your New Dooney: A mini reveal thread!

[RuedeNesle]

These 2 beauties came from ILD. I didn't know about the $25 coupon, so I missed my chance but at least I got a free bracelet with each.
Montecito Serena in Bone with Red interior and Florentine satchel in Navy. I love them both but I'm extra happy I got the bone, it's been on my wish list for some time and I thought I had missed it.View attachment 3605143 View attachment 3605144

Girl, your haul pics never disappoint! Serena is the beauty I thought she would be. And your Toscana and Florentine satchels beautiful too!
Congrats!

I have the logan, it's been used quite a bit but still looks great. Doesn't show any wear and is not 'sloppy' looking. It's a soft bag yes, but she sits nicely on the shoulder and doesn't get messy looking.

Edit: Since you have both the sloan and logan, can you compare the strap drop on them? I love my logan so was eyeing the sloan. Wondered if the strap drop was the same?

Hi Stephg. I compared the strap drop of the Logan to the Sloan in the leather and Logan seems to be longer. However, when I compare the strap drop of the suede Sloan is looks longer than the suede Logan. It seems like the Newbury suede bags hang lower than the leather bags, which is probably due to the weight of the suede.

Anyway, the D&B website says the leather Sloan strap drop is 11" and leather Logan strap drop is 10". Hope this helps.

Gorgeous new members of your awesome handbag collection! Love them all! The Montecito collection is just so stunning. Enjoy [emoji4]

Thanks GF!
I love the monecitos. They look like Altos but they are not as expensive!

 

[MaryBel]

Love the group GF! Now, do you have a fav Toscana?

Thanks GF!
I don't have a favorite yet. I have 2 of the hobos (bordeaux and Ginger) and these 3 but I only carried my Ginger hobo a couple of times, so I can't say yet.

Love them all GF! I can see why you went back for the red Christina. Love the red pop of color. That Montecito is a real stunner. I agree with TB. That color is my favorite in that bag. You chose all very well. I'm coming over soon. LOL!

Thanks GF!
I didn't even make it out of the store. I had both bags on the counter as they were checking to see what they had in the back. So when they only had one perfect black one, I thought black it is, but as I was paying, I kept looking at the red on the counter and it wouldn't stop flirting with me so she had to come here too!

I think it's my favorite Montecito too! I have 4 now in this style, navy with orange inside, burgundy with I don't remember what inside, maybe gray, natural with green inside (haven't revealed her yet, just got it at Marshalls a couple of weeks ago) and this one, oh, well, I also have one little DS, the crossbody one, natural with blue inside.

I'm sure you are coming, with that snow you were getting, the rain here doesn't seem that bad. DH is in your state, flew there yesterday, and he told me it was full of snow. He had to take his snow boots. I was telling him it was no fair, that I should go there, not him.

MaryBel - I love all you knew handbags. The leather looks amazing. The Verona Large Christina is adorable and love the Bone Montecito Serena. Congrats and enjoy them all!

Thanks GF!
I love the Veronas. I have a couple in the smaller size but I could not resist this size since I can fit a regular size wallet in these!
I totally recommend the Montecitos, really light weight and I think they look very nice.

Congrats!

Thanks GF!
She is indeed a beauty! Love her!
And you know I love the others too! I'm way too easy!

Now I need to look in my repertoire of red bags for the perfect one for tomorrow!

Finally I finished with my pics.

First I got the Verona Large Christina last weekend at the outlet. I was undecided between the red and the black. Both were pretty scratched up, but they had 1 more black in the back which was still wrapped, so no scratches, so I went with black. But as I was paying I was just thinking it was the last red one, so I decided to get it too, hoping the scratches will rub off a bit. Well, I put some apple conditioner on it and now it looks like new, no scratches. I should have taken a pic of the before. Love them!View attachment 3605138 View attachment 3605139

Hi MaryBel - I really like this little crossbody bag. Please share the outlet price. TIA.

Hi MaryBel - I really like this little crossbody bag. Please share the outlet price. TIA.

I think they were on clearance 60% off when I got them, let me check, yes, it was 60% off, so from 268, it was down to 107.20
They might be the same or maybe cheaper. I don't know when they change the % discount. But I guess at one point it could be 70% off. That's the most discount I have seen at the outlet.
This is the large Christina, style ER278

OMG, couldn't DH take you with him? We could have gone to the outlet. Oops, I forgot you have an outlet too. Soooo, make sure he brings you here in December for the tent sale.
BTW, love how the red was "flirting" with you. LOL! I see there are still some bone Serena's on Dooney.com so maybe more will trickle down to the outlets. I would love to try that one.

Thanks MaryBel for all the info, including the style number. I will contact my outlet tomorrow.

I would love to see a picture of the red bag you're carrying today! If you have time (and I know you're busy!) post a picture in the " Which Dooney are you carrying today thread", please? (It can be an old picture if you don't have time to take one today.) I'm still in the city so I'm still carrying my cranberry Bitsy. My Red Toscana satchel is with me but in all honesty I don't plan to carry her today because I'm going to do a lot of walking. Dang! I wish my Bitsy was red, red! I lost my red/black MK fur pom. I think it fell off my red Toscana satchel in a Starbucks when I was taking the car keys off the handles to give them to my son when he was here for Christmas. I think I must have accidentally unhooked it. So I don't even have a red pom to dress up my bag today.

Yesterday, I received Newbury leather Logan (Bone) and Sloan (Cobalt) handbags. I love the size, but not sure about the leather. I own Newbury Logan (TMoro) and Sloan (Olive) in suede and love them both.
Anyone with these bags, can you tell me if the leather softens with age? Are you enjoying these bags?

View attachment 3602507

I have the Sloan in Charcoal, Pale Blue and Wine and I can tell you that the leather is gorgeous and supple and I very much enjoy them. It does soften with age and use.
I hope this is helpful to you.

Hi LJ!
I love the way you describe your bags! Your purple Barlow sounds like it's a beautiful color! And I'm happy the Bordeaux Toscana domed satchel is a keeper! As I was reading your description of the leather I was saying "Yes!" to myself in agreement. You've described it better than I ever could. I almost passed on this bag just because of the web strap and the rubber feet, but I love the strap, and the bag sits nicely with the feet so I never think about them. I'm happy you like the leather lining too!

Congrats!

Thanks, RN.
