Re: I just can't buy a Dooney that...

LET ME CHIME IN AND SAY THAT I DISLIKED THE NEW GOLD NAMEPLATE SINCE THEY WERE INTRODUCED. WHERE'S THE DUCK

Re: I just can't buy a Dooney that...

I noticed that the Dooney website is selling the Verona in Florentine now.  Have to admit to salivating at the mere sight of it.  I don't need another bag I keep telling myself.  Wonder if Q is planning on selling it once they clear out the older Dooneys.

Re: I just can't buy a Dooney that...

I'm not happy with the lettering versus the old small brass plate. Just doesn't do it for me. But I have a bag with that (TSV) and I carry it almost every day. I love the key leash inside. I tend to misplace keys and once drove 30 miles to my office without the key on a weekend. UH. Bad. So now I have keys on the leash. The car keys are on another fob from Dooney (I don't tend to lose those.) And I put a key keeper right next to the door to the garage, hang it when I come home. 

 

I switch between that Dooney, Shelby Shopper in the gunmetal grey, and several GILI double zipper hobos. I love all the bags I get here, but I've learned to wait a bit and find good used or new ones on Ebay.

I agree, the gold lettering is too distracting in my opinion. I only have one Dooney, the zip zip satchel. I picked it up on Black Friday at Macy's online for 110 plus free shipping. After seeing so many Dooney & Bourkes at the outlet mall, the prices on the Q seem on the high side. I will say I love my zip zip in celadon. I use it when I'm not sporting a larger bag which I tend to gravitate towards. I like the older nameplate, much more subtle although the larger lettering seems to be the trend. I also bought my mom the Sophie hobo in purple for Christmas with wallet and key fob. It was pricey but she loved it. I may get another D & B in the future but I will search for a deal online. I do like the quality of the leather and the colors are gorgeous.
