:lol: Thanks SM!
One day I'll learn to buy what I like in only red. Every time I try a different color and I love the style of the item, I always want it in red. (So much for me carrying pink or yellow this summer, huh? :roflmfao: )
I know exactly what you mean!
I bought another pink bag because I am going to send one pink bag to fashionphile!:lol::lol::lol:
But this preloved bag has a few scratches I cannot accept, so I will be returning it. In its place, I already ordered a yellow bag!!!:lol:
I was really trying to decide between this yellow and red though. It was 50-50, but my 2 DDs pushed me to the yellow.
If I'm not in love with this particular yellow though, I'll exchange it with the red.
Then you'll be happy too!:graucho:;)

You know, I really liked your DDs up until now. :roflmfao: I hope you're happy with your bag color. There's nothing like the anticipation of a new bag and nothing worse than not being completely happy when it arrives. (Not for nothing, but red never disappoints. ;) :lol: )

Hahahha!
I hope I like it too.
These were the colors. View attachment 5360897
I have a feeling you're going to be happy with yellow. It looks like a bright yellow, not a dark mustard yellow. (My loyalty to red won't allow me to comment on the red swatch. :lol: ) I can't wait to see pics when it arrives.

RN: glad you finally got your red wallet. It belongs in your collection.
And since you already have the white one, you know the style works for you.
I like the red leather with the red interior. While contrast of colors is sharp looking,
I think the all red is a sophisticated look. And since many Dooney interiors are red,
it's very harmonious.
Do you coordinate your handbag accessories (SLGs) with each other or the handbag color?
Enjoy your new wallet.

Sunshine M: yellow is such a popular color this spring and we are seeing it all over in fashion.
After a while, we get worn down and think we have to have it. I have a collection of yellow
handbags, in all different shades. I generally prefer cool jewel tone colors, but there is something about a pretty yellow handbag that just makes me happy. (See, the fashion world has gotten
to me once again. :smile: )

As for the different shades of yellow,
the best way to appreciate them is not to compare them, but to enjoy each yellow
paired with your wardrobe options. Even mustard can look amazing with dark brown,
navy, white/cream or black clothing. High contrast is the key factor for me.

And of course, color is very personal. Hope you find the color you love.

Hi LJ! :hugs:
Thanks! You don't know how many times I almost bought it but told myself to try to continue enjoying it in white. What sealed the deal for me was when I was preparing for my trip (that I sadly had to cancel). I put my passport in my white wallet and it, and my Vax card easily fit, and I was still able to access my cards and cash. Right then I decided if this was also going to work as my carry-on wallet it MUST be red! :lol:
I'm currently carrying the wallet with my red Riley. But if I wasn't carrying Riley it would be another red bag.
It's a perfect match to my Dooney Dillen pocket satchel and my Olivia satchel.
