Dooney's nylon when not on sale is pricey and yes, perhaps it's over-priced, particularly when compared to the leather version. That said, it is very nice. I own one Dooney nylon bag that I waited and got on sale and it's a great, light weight bag. How can they get away with it? Because people pay it. It really is as simple as that...

that's where I am coming from and why I did the original post. I would expect a bigger difference between leather and nylon so this bag, in my opinion should be less expensive. I paid $139 for a big nylon Dooney tote. Where are they coming up with the price on this bag other than the leather version is a best seller.

I bought 3 cute Travelon bags, 2 crossbody quilteds and 1 backpack that I use for inclement weather and/or travel. The price for all 3 of them doesn't even come close to what this Dooney is.
Nylon is nylon, the finishing is where the Dooney expense comes in. And the Duck.
Overpriced IMHO

And so is a Lexus compared to a camry. These two vehicles share the same internal parts but the consumer is paying 12,000 dollars more to have the lexus name. Go figure.

@GCR18 -- well, then - from my point of view, they should raise the price of the leather bags to get the difference be more because I've shopped and shopped for a nylon bag I really like - and I own some less expensive than the hobo I ordered. I'm just hoping this one is as much more suitable to me than the last oen I bought which was a MKors. As I remember it was on sale at something over 125 - it's okay as to weright, color, durability, but it's not a great shape to carry and I'm hoping for far better organization with this Donney.
Also, I'm probably not as price-sensitve as some because I buy so little - my handbag purchases over the last 3 years average about &7.00 per year! That MK is older than 3.
One final thought - I'm too old to have a teen-age daughter, but if did, she be crying, "Mom, you can't go out of the house in those clothes." time to shop here

I bought my Dooney nylon tote on sale as well. Don't think I would pay full price for it so I am agreeing with those who say overpriced. The important thing to me is that it is good quality bag which should wear well.. LM

Totally agree with the O/P--when I saw the nylon logo lock first presented, and the price along with it, I have to say my jaw dropped! I love this brand and I have several, including the nylon tote which I carry to work (it's italian leather, and very good quality, but it was reasonably priced, forget how much but def under $170.00)--this logo lock nylon bag should be $100 less than what the "featured price" is. . . That bag should not be that much IMHO..
