Wondering if the Dooney and Bourke Flourtine leather  is lighter than the Pebble Grain  leather?  Wondering about a tote bag. Thank you !

IMO Florentine leather bags are very heavy, more so than pebbled leather.

@Alaskan Mom  I have found it’s more about the amount of hardware on the bag than the type of leather.

@Kachina624  Yes, the Florentine bags are heavy before the hardware...and once you put your things inside? Let’s just say I sent one back because I never could carried that bag all day.

Thank you everyone!! I bought the Pebble Grain Newport Tote from the Dooney site and omg that bag is beautiful but it is beyond heavy!!....they have the same style in Flourtine leather and I was hoping it would be lighter . Guess I'll pass!

Alaskan Mom,  if you look at the purse you want, on QVC website it states the weight of the bag for each bag, then you can buy it anywhere you want.
