Thank you. I’ve noticed the same. Am I to assume that your new Toscana purchases were a disappointment? I didn’t see any pics posted. If so, sorry....

Yes, I've returned six Toscana's so far. It's ridiculous really. I wish these bags went to the outlets so you can pick your own or at least have another pair of eyes look at the condition for you.

Sooo, after saying I was done with Toscana's I ended up ordering three more in different styles. Maybe I get a good one out of the bunch. I report back when they arrive.

However, I am still determined to find a Side Zip Satchel at some point.

Maybe you said what was wrong with them ....but I missed it? Was the leather not smooth? Several imperfections?
I have three and they all came perfect.....
I hope you get a keeper this time .

I thought I'd report on my first 2 packages. The Alto Valentina in grape is beautiful. The regular (mid sized) is a perfect size. I'll check it over in the daylight, but so far it looks like it's in good shape. Like most Altos, it's structured and has very little ornamentation. The beauty is in the lines and the leather. Hard to image paying $725, but at close to half off, it makes more sense.

I also go some SLG. The Carrington pouch is larger than I thought (yes, there were measurements), but it's a nice soft leather.

The small Florentine wallet is beautiful.

The lamb leather fold over wallet, that matches the Carrington pouch is really a disappointment. The quality doesn't look as good as any other Dooney item I have ever gotten, especially the seaming. The reviews on this wallet are very good and there are lots of YouTube videos where people love it. It wasn't expensive, with the sale and 30% off in addition, so it's not worth returning. But unlike other Dooney wallets that seem to hold up for years, this one looks like it will show wear very quickly. .

Your Alto sounds lovely and I am glad she is a keeper. I agree the Carrington pouch is “huge” . I need to go back and look at the website so I can see what your Alto looks like.

This year, I think I will be sitting out the 12 DOD......

I stopped at the outlet and picked up a new wallet. I have a small phone wristlet and two continentals , but I wanted a large zip around. I was going to get pebble grain, then I saw the saffiano in tmoro. I love it. I have carried it for a few days and I love it even more. I need to give the saffiano line another look.

I took the LOLO back. Loved her look and at first I loved her size. But the opening drove me crazy . I decided to return her and I still have my store credit. Maybe I will check out the saffiano.

BW: I've always bought Dooney wallets in pebbled leather because they hold up so well. I think saffiano would also be an excellent choice.
I recently also bought a small Florentine wallet.... I'm concerned it will scratch, but it is beautiful. I also got a lamb leather wallet, and I don't think that one will hold up well at all... the leather is fragile and the stitching doesn't seem as well done or as heavy as on the pebbled wallets.
Enjoy your new wallet.

Well....I looked but need to stick to “window shopping”. We need to help keep each other strong!

Absolutely:-) I sold a couple of bags I wasn't that happy with, so I will replace their "spot" in the closet. (New qvc gracie replaces a pebble hobo i sold, new Saffiano will replace LOLO, and dandelion large paige replaces persimmon hobo, i will post pics when they get here:-) But, no more shopping till spring. That puts my collection at 9. Modest but perfect for me. I have a couple on my Christmas list, but if I don't get them, I won't shop for them. I need to stay strong [emoji109] [emoji123] [emoji6]

I really should post pics. It's been an unreal streak of bad luck. Scratches, dimples, dents, color inconsistencies, striations, and so on. I just received another one that was a return. More scratches. Not as noticeable but honestly, if you order a new bag, you should get a new bag. I don't care how discounted it is, otherwise call them "as is".

View attachment 3894280 I haven't been around the forum much because I've been on a bag ban from mid last year until this month:amazed:. Over this past month...I bought 4 bags, so, as of today, I re-enter the bag ban zone:sad:. This beauty is a Toledo medium satchel that I purchased for 199.00 during Dooney's 12 DOD preview (prior to Black Friday and Cyber Monday).

That's a beautiful handbag. Enjoy wearing it. I must have missed seeing that during the preview. Probably just as well, I bought more than enough handbags over the past month.

lavenderjunkie, thank you!! I would love to have this in rouge, but the price is back at 398.00. Hopefully it will be at 199.00 again for the 12 DOD. Here's the link, just in case you're interested.

That is a shame. Were they florentines or other leathers?
