save for the dog charm it is this one A305998. Already has reviews you can look at. It is the size of a piece of paper-to put it in perspective. The color selection is different from those that will be offered tonight and at a $245 price. It is also available at Macy's right now at a great price.

Interesting! I wanted to see the presentation, so thanks for sharing- I really like this, but not sure I want to spend quite so much- We will see...

You might want to have a look at Macy's for this bag.

@Dorothy11, @bubba_31, @Skyegirl21 I don't want to start a new thread to ask this so could you tell me how Radley handbags compare to Dooney as far as quality of workmanship? The name is new to me but I'm looking in the price range of Dooney for my next bag and wonder if this would work.

I am not any of the above, but I'm chiming in.

I own both.

I think the quality is similar. The pebbled leather bag I own is soft. The hardware is good and there are nice finishing touches such as pockets trimmed in leather. I had purchased another bag; it didn't look "right" on me. Radley tends more towards trends and I find them similar to recent mid-tier Coach. They're not "locked into" the equestrian look. I don't hink contrast stitching has to be everywhere.

I returned a Dooney and Bourke backpack, because it didn't have outside or interior pockets. Radley usually includes them; it's probably because they were designed in an urban environment.

Truthfully, both bags are "made in the East," I don't think there is much difference in quality in terms of Dooney's mid-tier bags. Now for the lower-priced bags, there is a difference--but there is also a price difference. The nylon/polyester bags are not trimmed in leather, as a DB would be. However, there is a significant price reduction. That just depends on the bag. A nylon backpack with the poly trim is about $128; its Dooney "cousin" is at least $60 to $89 more. And then the DB doesn't have the outside pockets where you would need them.
