Dooney TSV

I saw the show last night at 11:00 my time

Took a pass and too small. Cute, but, too plain for me.

I'm passing too. It looks like the zip zip. I just gave those away. Also this new leather they are talking about (I think) is probably just a cheaper way to make the leather. The way they are explaining how they stretch it to make the pebble larger sounds like that.

Over the years I have also had a few of the zip zip bags. I never really used them and ended up getting rid of them. I actually have one in my closet right now and it's the only Dooney that I currently have. I think I used it once.....Oh, I just remembered that I have a nylon Dooney that I replaced the strap with a colorful guitar strap and I used that one a lot a few years ago.

I don't know what it is about Dooneys for me....they can be beautiful bags but for the most part I don't like to carry them. They tend to be uncomfortable for me. Either they are too heavy or too stiff and many just don't have an outside pocket. The shoulder & crossbody straps tend to be too skinny for me.

That's right ! I GOT to have a outside pocket for my keys.

One reason I have a Patricia Nash obsession is because she always includes that rear pocket.

Wish she would have some new interiors, though.

Tired of that same ol' suede look.

@SharkE It is cute, but I prefer larger satchels.

Yes ! @SharkE

NO outside pocket has become a deal breaker for me. I got so used to them once I started purchasing PN bags.....and now I MUST have one!!!

Yeah, when I'm out and about and get one of my dry throat coughs I want to be able to find my gum in a split second before I start getting the stares and people think I have covid.

Rear pocket is a quick go to !

re: the stiff leather. It occurs to me that many of us rotate through a lot of purses and are always buying more. Thus, they don't all get well broken in. I bet if we carried one Dooney exclusively for just a few months, the leather would get softer, more comfortable

One is enough. I own the smaller satchel that went on clearance. Liked for the D rings. Added a thicker third party strap. In black and tan it's a classic. I don't know why they don't make better straps for these heavy bags. I did carry the domed satchel they had for a tsv for a long time. It really sagged and I tossed it out.

Anyway,
I work remotely. No need for a big bag any more. I'm sure someone will enjoy.

If you look on the Dooney website there exactly two bags in the Lucca leather. One is available in three colors, the other in one color. This tells me they are no longer using this Lucca leather, and must have a supply of it in the warehouse to pawn off on the QVC customers. No thanks.

I wouldn't spend that much money on a purse!!! Just can't do it!! Never have been a purse maven anyway--so was an easy pass---

Now DD has an obsession with Coach bags--and she would --in a heart beat--buy one she loved---
