Dooney: suede, suede and more suede

In my experience, suede does not hold up well. Dooney is pushing the suede handbags with multiple offerings. Just beware, suede will disappoint.

suede is the look of fall. i do happen to have a vintage dooney in suede, and it is VERY thick. haven't had a problem with it thus far. however i haven't felt or handled any of the newer ones, so that may have changed.

I have a black suede bag, it's not Dooney but similar brand. Like suede boots, it does just fine in the winter. I bought a suede brush and suede cleaner and it looks great even though its several years old. The only concession I made is that I never carried in in sloppy wet weather.

I have 2 Dooney clutches (Navy & Honey) in suede from last year.

They are nice and have held up very well.

Always receive complements. I did ScotchGuard them as it rains

a lot here.

Have you tried them?

I had a suede medium brown coat back in my 20's and loved it. Would love a handbag but don't like Dooney's styles. either cross body or too small 10 inches wide.

I look when that line is on - but no deal here.

(typically don't like his designs at all)

I much prefer Dooney suede to the nylon they had been pushing. I would never buy a Dooney nylon bag - just too expensive.

Depends on how you care for it and treat it.

I have been using a suede bag since the middle of September. I like to change my bags with the seasons. I think suede is very fashionable in the Fall!

I do avoid getting it wet. I can't be bothered to treat it, but it is a smart idea.

I will switch to a sturdier bag (hard leather or plastic) for Winter use.

I also have suede boots, both high and low, that I really love to wear because they are so soft and comfy. Again, I do not wear them in heavy rain or snow.

I only carry Dooney purses because of the durability. If it's a suede Dooney I'm positive it will last forever.

I’ve had 2 suede bags, a Dooney (QVC) and a MK I received as a gift. Both got really ugly on the back side that was close to me. Handbags are beautiful from the front but turn them around and yikes.

Like the nylon, ( which I too thought was crazily priced for nylon) , dooney suede is nothing like others versions. I have found the materials Dooney uses is in a class by itself!

I LOVE suede. Suede takes color so well; gorgeous.

I've had the leather and suede DB bags in the past, both are just too heavy for my shoulders/back now. They're being stored on a top shelf. I haven't even used my LV bags. All are retired.

I've gravitated to the nylon bags. My favorites are TUMI, MZ Wallace, DB, Bagalini, Lug, etc.
