Ludmilla: Welcome to the Dooney family! Your story almost made me cry. I know what it is like to want something for a long time and it always seems too far to reach. Your friends picked a beautiful satchel for you...the leather is stunning. I hope your sunny day comes soon. When you carry this bag you will always think of your friends. That makes it even more special. Enjoy!

Aww, thank you for the bag love and your sweet post, you are too kind. I am very happy to be part of the Dooney family now. :D
Yes, I think this is an extra special bag as it was gifted by wonderful friends. :)

View attachment 3677961 This is my first post in the D&B threads and my first Dooney in a very long time. My brother and his fiancee got this for me for cheering them on while they ran for Alex's Lemonade Stand charity at the Disney Vader challenge this weekend in Orlando. I had no idea D&B did exclusive pieces like this, but I love it! Thanks for letting me share [emoji4]

Hello ladies! :wave:
My name is Ludmilla, I am a purse addict and long time lurker on this subforum.
Two years ago I fell in love with the Flo Satchel, but D&B is not available in my country. I thought that I would never own that bag. Yes, there is internet shopping, but somehow I never pulled the trigger and kept drooling over tpf pics and youtube videos. :drool:
Fast forward to last Wednesday. There was a surprise box in the mail. From really really kind and dear friends in the US (who happen to know about my Flo crush). In this box sat my dream bag as a thank-you-gift. :eek:

The leather is so smooth and silky. I am completely over the moon with her and I still cannot believe that she is mine. I am a lucky girl. :hbeat:

The ice blue is definitely more gray with a touch of blue. If you're looking for blue, I wouldn't go with the ice blue as it's very muted.

BA712, have you been using your City Flynn? I too am eyeing the City Flynn in Ice Blue.

I literally JUST discovered dooney and bourke this past week and LOVE the City Flynn design, so now its a matter of which color to get.

My concern with Ice Blue is that it would get dirty easily. I live in a dirty city and take public buses to and from work everyday, so I need a bag that won't need much babying.

Could you let me know how your Ice Blue City Flynn's wear and tear so far?

Thank you!

I'm also just bought an ice blue City Barlow. The color is a light blue grey. I love the city leather. I baby my handbags and haven't used the ice blue one very often. But, if you are concerned about dirt, I would suggest a darker color. That way you can enjoy your handbag without worrying about it. Or, buy a similar style in pebbled leather, so you can keep it clean with soap and water. Check out the Brenna on QVC... it's pebbled leather in a design similar to the Barlow, not the Flynn. It may not be the right style for you, but it's easy enough to look. Dooney also has a lot of pebbled leather styles that might be more rugged than the smooth City leather. Good luck with your Dooney collecting.

I was finally able to find a bag from the Lafayette collection. It popped up on ILD and I was alerted by a fellow Lafayette enthusiast. My wait is over. This is the City Lafayette Large Barlow in Bordeaux. It is my first of this size. I find the size very pleasing. I was afraid it would be overwhelming but I love it.View attachment 3695989
