Handbags

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

I own several nylon MZ Wallace and Kate Spade bags. Ranging from $150-$400. After years of hard use, they still look fantastic. My sister-in-law has a Louis Vuitton. It was $1800 for coated cotton. After 2 years, it was really showing a lot of wear and tear. So I feel like the investment is well worth it depending on the bag and the quality of the material.

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..

I've seen some nylon Dooney crossbody bags at Hudson's Bay in Canada that are at least $150 CDN. Ummm...nope..fetch isn't gonna happen here!

I have been waiting for the logo lock in nylon for forever. In fact, I even suggested doing the hobo in nylon on Sue's FB page awhile back. I have a D&B tote in nylon ( big enough to use for overnight trips) and 2 cross body bags. The nylon truly IS exceptional (hence my desire for the hobo). Having said that, I, too, was shocked by the price. I obviously will pay more for high quality, but this price seems out of line.
