How Many Dooney's do you have? - Page 5

I have probably bought 7 over the years..... 2 that are in their dust bags that I never use but always liked. Maybe someday they will come back out. A tote in the signature print in banana which is so pretty. I get tons of compliments every time I carry it. the trick with that one is to keep it super clear. Over the summer I bought the hobo with reversable hook closure in the oyster color. It is sooo pretty. I love the look of that bag so much. But I don't carry it as often as I would, if it weren't so heavy. The clasp is like the weight of two rolls of quarters. Lol. I had two other super cute green ones-- one with denim and one in patent leather. I gave those to my sisters. Just cause I am a sweet sister. haha. Last but not least I bought the coin purse with the kiss lock in fuschia. I really just wanted something in that color and I missed the tote when it was on the Q.

I had a B. Makowksy and I bought one for my mom.... Her initail is B. So that seemed fitting. But neither of us really carried them. His bags ( or at least the ones we have) are also SUPER heavy.

Wonder what ever happened to him and his wife. Wasn't she a bag designer, too?

@justashopper @Yes, her name is Kathy Van Zeeland and Q used to sell her bags. They were fabric/vinyl not leather and had a lot of charms, rhinestones, and studding treatments on them. They were very popular for a while.

I had a B. Makowsky bag too and loved it. It was a pewter metallic leather feed bag style. It wore like iron.

Oh gosh I have too many. I love them but don't carry them these days. I've been carrying a Lug crossbody. Even though they're all in brand new shape, I wouldn't get much for them so probably should just donate. None is super current, all are at least a few years old. They take up a lot of spaces in my closet....

I have a ton of them but love each one. Dooneys are my very favorite bags.

Too many to count!

One; it was a Christmas gift 10+ years ago, and I haven't carried it since I retired 8 years ago.

I love purses. So my one Dooney is the Darcy satchel in spearmint. Love love 💕. It's my daughter's name. I have three very nice leather bags-the Dooney, a Kate Spade small satchel also called Darcy, and my Patricia Nash poppy tote. That's the big mama. I could get my dog in there. Haha. I don't find my leather bags overly heavy. But I don't over stuff them. The smell of fine leather is intoxicating. In the 1970s and early 80s I carried Aigner bags. Even had an Aigner leather jacket. Ahhh.
Plus I have several Lug bags in the rotation.

Only three that I can think of. That might change when I get around to cleaning out my closet. Using an old B Makowsky right now becaus it is a cross body with multiple compartments. Wish Dooney would do one, they are a lot more durable than B Mak.
