Does anyone else find it annoying that they talk more about the bag and not show the insides - it drives me nuts

yes!!! It drives me crazy. I won't buy a handbag if I can't see the inside. Not to mention, they are always discussing ways/ places to carry a handbag. It's silly, I'm an adult, I don't need a host or vendor telling me how when or where to carry a purse.

I just read some reviews - negative reviews regarding the lining - maybe that's why they don't show the insides.

I agree. They need to stop their chat and show the product from all angles and the inside of the purse.

I wish they would stop bringing such limited quantities on certain styles.

What did they say?

Maybe I missed others but the only one I noticed they didn't show the interior was the Cassidy Florentine leather, the one that has the glove leather lining. Which doesn't make sense, since it's different and higher quality. I went to the product page and watched the vid (from the holidays, it had Christmas trees) and they still did NOT show the interior! Very odd.

I have to say, it totally cracked me up seeing a Kleenex tissues pocket pack in every.single.bag. What was that about?!
🤣

I agree. And it isn't only the D&B bags. This has been my complaint about handbag presentations on the Q forever. I've given up, and I don't buy handbags from the Q anymore. As others have said, I am not buying a bag, especially at these prices, without seeing the inside of it!

most of the time they talk less about the product and more useless chat,

never much useful size measurements or fabric content, just where u can wear it. time wasting

I wish the bags had white metal hardware, I just think it looks better.

I almost never watch Dooney shows any more or, in fact, anything on QVC, but it did used to both crack me up and annoy me when they'd get into all the places you can carry a purse, right along with all the things you can put in a purse... Just a butt stupid way to kill time on what are usually too long presentations anyway... Sort of like the listing of all the people you can gift during the holiday season... You'd think after all these many years, they'd have come up with better shtick... As for bags, I save money by purchasing them elsewhere... Though there are rare exceptions, there aren't many deals to be had here...

@stevieb

Not too many months ago, Amy and the vendor, Ashley, spent time talking about how each one had such white teeth. Then they asked each other about getting their teeth whitened. Then they oohed and aahed about how great, and white, each one's teeth looked. Very germane to the description of the Dooney & Bourke handbag they were presenting. Such nonsense.

@maximillian Why am I not surprised. I never could endure Amy and even when I was still occasionally watching Dooney shows, Ashley left a lot to be desired. Aside from losing interest in the brand, I more or less stopped watching because the better hosts were so rarely doing the presentations and they just became too pointless to waste my time watching.

Agree with your evaluation of host and vendor!

On the 8/14/21 show, I am disappointed the host does not regularly provide dimensions, show inside of bag or show how the bag looks on the body.

I despise that red lining in all their bags. I wish they would change it. I think at one time they did a blue pillow ticking lining which was preferable to that hideous red. Even a plain, off white lining would be better.

That's why we need Sue Clifton to come back, she did a fantastic job in describing the details when presenting the Dooney & Bourke bags.

I don't really mind the red lining except when it clashes with the exterior. It's fine in neutral bags, but the red lining clashes with my hot pink patent satchel. I think the red cotton must be less expensive than the heavier neutral canvas they used to use.
