I'm sorry your purchase didn't work out for you, rac. I know how you feel. I look at the Florentines and toledos. Luv 'em but not practical for me.
You'll find another dooney that is lighter.

Oh...I hate when that happens. So sorry. It is a lovely bag. (Perlina bags are also nice.) Florentine is rather heavy. I found mine heavy also. Not to worry, when I put mine upon ebay, I had a quick sale. So you don't have to worry about it not selling. Those always go. Dooney makes all kinds of bags and leathers. Maybe you will find one that suits you better.

I have two Florentines and they are heavy. the big satchel one i have, I swear gives me tennis elbow. So pretty though! I carry them for shorts stints and enjoy them that way. I have a big collection of handbags so no one gets too much use at a time anyway.

Why do people carry everything they own in a bag. I only carry my absolute necessities & never have a problem with a heavy bag.

I don't like having a ton of stuff in my bags either and usually just carry keys, phone and small wallet.
But my mother in law and my best friend are the opposite. Scotch tape, scissors, band aids, needle and thread, tape measure, magnifying glass--- you name it, they have it! It seems crazy to me but....I guess everyone's different. And I must admit to having been glad to borrow from their bag o' stuff more than once... LOL.

Must be nice to be so perfect that you freely cast judgement upon everyone else.Why do people carry everything they own in a bag.

On 4/2/2014 JavaQueen said:Thanks for the encouragement. I'm quite top heavy and already have a slightly lowered right shoulder from carrying unbalanced weight. Add 10ish pound over each shoulder just by my bra straps, I can't manage a heavy bag, too. (I can't carry my work laptop over my shoulder, either. I go through at least one rolling bag a year.) At least the old Coach Stewardess had a super-wide strap. I'll keep an eye out, although I have some lovely bags I'm rotating between. I hope it sells better than my Brighton bags did.Oh...I hate when that happens. So sorry. It is a lovely bag. (Perlina bags are also nice.) Florentine is rather heavy. I found mine heavy also.
