2. Not as pretty as Patricia Nash bags. Kind of plain.


I bought one PN bag and have never used it, my first and last PN bag, Dooneys on the other hand I have several and use them often.

I have a lot of them.  I got my first one at John Wanamaker's back in the mid 70's.  I still have it.

 

I have them in many sizes and many colors.  I also have a collection of Coach bags along with Cole Haan, plus others. I am embarassed to admit that I have bags that cost over $1000.

 

I have more bags and shoes than I need.  

My weight has yo-yo'd for many years and my size has gone up and down.  Bags and shoes always fit...that's my excuse.

 

I don't buy bags anymore...I want to, but I have my addiction under control.  it wasn't easy.


I love the old Cole Haan bags too and have quite a collection of them. And the vintage Coach. 

 

Dooney's are a favorite too. I'm embarrassed to admit I have 11 full-sized bags, all vintage, most from thrift stores and ebay. 

 

But the bags I use the most are the little Dooney letter carriers. I have 4 of those in different colors. 

 

I also don't buy anymore bags. I have a closet full.

Over the years I have purchased 3 and I have sold them all in a consignment shop.  They are too heavy and have no organization which I like.  Now I carry a small crossbody and my favorites are IHKWIP and a brand I found at a local boutique called Ori London.  They come in great colors and styles!!

Zero !!!

I once spent over an hour in a Dooney Outlet store in Maine, I walked around in there over and over and still could not find a bag that suited me.

Zero ... much too heavy and most lack the organization and compartments that I love.    Too bad Dooney never figured out how to make a good bag that didn't weigh almost 5 pounds.

One. It's medium blue in color and I recently bought it from a consignment

shop at half price on black Friday. It was priced at $70 and half price made

it $35, a great deal, very nice shape as well.
