Your New Dooney: A mini reveal thread!

[lavenderjunkie]

Thanks GF!
I think the leather in the domed satchel feels exactly the same as the Toscana leather. It is also leather lined like the Toscanas. The only things different are: No suede lining, the different name plate and this one has the old feet style, you know, metal feet on a strip of leather.

On the web site they are now calling the leather Florentine Nuovo. Good to know the leather is the same as Toscana, which is a very nice leather.

I was very surprised to receive this yesterday since ILD said it had not shipped yet. Even more pleasantly surprised to find a very smooth bag.
This is the Made in America Florentine Small Satchel in Black. I was expecting a nightmare based on what some other gals received. Very happy with this one and a great deal to boot plus the free bracelet. I still can't believe I received such a nice smooth bag! TB! Can you believe this one?View attachment 3605709 View attachment 3605710

WOW,
She's gorgeous! Congrats GF! She's gorgeous, I know, I already said that but it deserves it again! WOW!

Yes, I saw that.
I think they added something to differentiate them from the regular Florentine and to avoid saying it was toscana. I think it is Toscana outlet version!

Thanks GF! I still can't believe it myself. I was all set for disappointment....either a cancellation or a return. Nice for a change.

Yes, I will compare them when I get home.

Another question for you. Do you own the smooth leather hobo sold on QVC? I like strap and wonder if the leather is the same or similar to Newbury leather.

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.

Hi, no I don't have the smooth leather hobo. I would imagine it's similar but perhaps thinner. Just guessing though.

Thank you for comparing them! I like the newbury leather and the drop on the logan, was hoping the hobo would be similar. Oh well one less bag to buy LOL

Well, she was just delivered! Here she is in all her glory!!! I'm quite pleased with the color! It's just a good saturated shade of Aqua. It's more blue than last years Mint though and the pic is not 100% true to color but in Real life it's got a smidge more of a green undertone to it. I know I sound so contradicting but I'm trying here! Thanks for letting me share!

Gorgeous! It does look way more vibrant blue than mint. I'm glad she's a winner!
