Dooney's "Bone" color can anyone describe it?

ugabugabooooo — Sun, 27 Jul 2014 02:47:43 GMT

Is it more of a buttery light yellow or more of a light beige? Every picture and video I see of it looks different. Does anyone have it that can describe the color in person?

I got a bag in this color and sent it back... It's a pretty color, but wasn't the 'bone' I wanted. To me, it was more of a custard color. It's not exactly yellow and it's not exactly beige, but it's not a true vanilla or off-white either.

It's like French Vanilla ice cream. I liked it online and on QVC presentations with the bright TV lights, but when I saw it in person at a D&B outlet store, I did not like it at all.

I too ordered a ""bone"" Dooney and returned it. It wasn't bone at all IMHO. It was more of a creme brulee (sp?) color - a hint of yellow - definitely not a true bone.

Thank you ladies for replying. I decided to go with the natural instead. I ordered from I Love Dooney's Ebay store. I hope it turns out ok. I have never ordered from there before but they are supposed to have new items so it sounded good. I wanted a lighter color and would have loved an off white or even light beige, but I am not a big fan of yellow.

I think you'll like the natural, but in fairness, the bone has only a hint of yellow, I wouldn't say the color reads overall as pale yellow at all... Still, it's not the true winter white 'bone' Dooney offered in the past. Personally, I wish they'd bring back the beautiful oyster color from last year.

I have the Clayton in bone and love it. To me it is a true sand color. It's pale, warm but not yellow-y. I think dooney should have given the color a different name. Bone isn't accurate. Hope this helps

I have ordered from them frequently and have never had a problem. I have even experienced hassle free returns with prompt refunds...

Thanks Cgil, that's good to know! The Natural was on sale $47 cheaper than the bone. Not sure why they are different prices based on the color; but I have the bone saved under my watch list. Maybe I will get lucky and they will reduce it too!

My guess is that since natural is one of the basic, tried and true neutral colors they produce more of them and mark them down more often. I wouldn't be surprised to see the bone marked down as we move into fall and they release more fall and winter colors. Which bag silhouette are we talking about, if you don't mind my asking?

Sorry! It is the Florentine Satchel With Pockets A239408. I think it has been discontinued, at least here at QVC. I ordered it from QVC as an 'as is' and it was in terrible shape, so I returned it to QVC the next day and decided to look elsewhere for it. I have liked this bag for a long time but never could afford the price, even on easy pay. I didn't realize it had been on clearance on QVC for a while and apparently sold out. I just caught it one night in the 'as is' bucket and pounced.

The I Love Dooney store has it in the bone and natural and a few other colors. The Dooney.com website has it in all colors and even a new one. I think I will like the natural because it is still a lighter color bag. Thanks for your answers to my question. That helped me to make up my mind.

Very nice bag and I think you'll be happy you got this one in the natural. It's a classic bag silhouette and a classic color that'll serve you well for years! Enjoy!

One more question regarding the 'bone' color. Are scuffs and scratches really noticeable or do they blend into the color?

Thanks! Sand is also a good description. Have you had any issues with it scratching or discoloring?
