@Shawnie Guess you're correct about smaller handbags.  I wasn't thinking about those. 

One for you!  (wink)

Do you think D&B is aiming to attract the Brahmin lovers with patent.  Brahmin bags are an embossed patent leather (real leather).

I have a  small D&B clutch/cross body I have enjoyed in Spring. When I was young, I recall those patent leather shoes for Easter and using Vaseline to keep the leather from cracking?

Ever since I was a child I've been fascinated with the patent look. I love that shiny appearance. As an adult I still like it and own several patent leather and patent bags. I don't carry them often, but do admire the way they look. They aren't as forgiving as more supple leathers, so have to be stored carefully. For a variety of reasons, a limited number of them is the way to go, at least for me.

I LOVE PATENT LEATHER HANDBAGS. I have some Dooney and Bourke , a navy crossbody and a purple handbag and a black and white, all patent and they are leather. Have always loved patent leather as a child and now too. Love the quality of their patent leather I keep them all in the material bags they come with so they are protected and last longer..

I hate Patent leather handbags, don't care if they are real leather, they just look cheap.

You brought back memories for me @Gorgf.  I remember putting Vaseline on my patent shoes as a little girl.  Not sure why, but maybe to keep them shiny and remove finger prints.  They most likely were patent vinyl and not leather.

I generally won't buy a leather bag.  I actually prefer colorful printed treated cloth bags or some man-made material.   

I like faux patent leather handbags.  I don't have any at the momemt but over the years, I've had quite a few of them.
