What do you make of this Dooney HOT PICK, which seems brand new?

I'm liking it, but, as a Big Bag Gal, always want the largest possible. On the Q it's listed as 13.5 x 11 x 5
On Dooney it's listed as 14.5 x 6.5 xm15.75
Both priced at $458, so maybe they are the same?

Zipper, hobo style, leather logo (my fav), even like the canvas strap, Florentine. (Lack of colors, of course, but Dooney has more.)

Is it just HOW they measure, do you think? Q's returns are best, so I'd rather ordder from QVC.

On Dooney:

Sorry .. but I really do not like this bag at all. And I think the strap cheapens the look of the bag.

@EdithEllenLily OK, ordered the bolo 36! Every girl needs one 36-inch necklace, yes? Thanks for the rec.
Tsk, tsk... Every girl, @Serendipity, does NOT need a 36" necklace. What, you wanta dress up to sit in the outhouse...?
Hi @stevieb; @EdithEllenLily; @Serendipity .... anyone going into the outhouse most likely is taking at least one of their beautiful handbag purchases ... so they might as well get dressed up for the occasion and wear a great necklace to go along with a great bag.

Now think about it @Boehm Collector, why would you carry a nice bag or wear pretty jewelry to the outhouse...?

Well, because @stevieb I always like to look good no matter where I go
And in this instance @Boehm Collector, the concept of 'where you go' takes on a whole new meaning...

Hey @stevieb, a girl always has to look presentable. You never know who you might meet.
In the outhouse, for crying out loud!? @Boehm Collector
@stevieb @Boehm Collector I'm with BC on this one. Always.

Thanks @Serendipity ! Good to have some support!

Hi @handygal2 ... I once took an inventory of all the bags I own and did list them in a post in last quarters thread. But I cannot remember the exact count now... although I have added two more bags since. I would say a good estimate would be about 35 - 40 bags

@stevieb @Sister Golden Hair @EdithEllenLily So I had really, really good news re: work. Best in four years and I feel like celebrating -- with a handbag. Is that so bad?
Please tell us, please?
@Sister Golden Hair I don't know how to answer without being too revealing. But akin to a new project with work I love and a boost in comp.
That is wonderful and you deserve two new bags...Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thanks! And I really thought so....or a new outfit? I did have a celebratory drink with a friend.
Great @Serendipity, so you have a friend... you had a drink... let it go at that...

You are a meanie with the tough love. I was actually thnking of joining BC's @Boehm Collectorclub.

LOL @Serendipity ... and what club might that be? The "Bought too many highend bags so am permanently in the outhouse club"? Or the "refuse to buy any bag unless it can be paid for in full club"? Or (the club I have been kicked out of..."The haven't purchased a new handbag in ages club"?

The opening is the same as my favorite Roma 2's, which are SO secure. I hate having to zip open, then negotiate my hands around zipper stuff. Love the WIDE opening.

The difference between the TSV and the Barlow (besides the straps) is the lack of zippers on the sides, which extends the Barlow.

Both are coming to my home, Barlow and Brenna. One will get returned. Florentine Italian leather and pebble leather, my two favorites!
Hi @1Professor .. thanks for the info. As much as i like this bag... I will not be purchasing it. I am saving up for something else. Please do not tell @stevieb
@Boehm Collector I SEE this!!! LOL Perhaps one of the Salvatore Ferragamo handbags in NYC?
@Boehm Collector Curiousity is getting the better of me on this one. First thought was it was something for your DH, but that wouldn't have repercussions from the HM. So .... hmn. Another SF or Gucci would be my thinking. No fair with the teasing, BC!

Hi @Serendipity ..... My lips are sealed until.. and IF... I am ever ready to make the purchase. I never said it was a handbag. I absolutely LOVE 18K gold .... so perhaps it might be a new jewelry purchase????? This will continue to be a mystery until I am ready. You girls will just have to be patient and wait it out.

Meaning what, precisely, @Serendipity? You know, we don't have time to play games here...

@stevieb Gucci. But the euphoria will wear off soon. Like with the cold harsh reality of morning.

Hi @Serendipity ... don't count on it!!

Hi @stevieb @EdithEllenLily @Sister Golden Hair @Serendipity @NycVixen @skyblue @foo foo shi shi @tough_kitty @1Professor ... I apologize if I am leaving anyone out. In any event, I have been using my Mom's vintage Gucci (similar to the one pictured below) since this past weekend. And I msut say I am really liking it. Mom never used the removable strap that came with it .. but luckily I still had it. It is not a large bag but I am making it work.

@Boehm Collector Gorgeous! Love it!!!! Truly a classic. Wear it in good health and enjoy!

Thanks @NycVixen .. this bag also has a lot of sentimental value. It was the last bag Mom carried before she passed away. When I am wearing it I always think of her.

Now, now, Maria, @Boehm Collector... My recollection is that despite numerous warnings, you've never actually been 'permanently' ensconced in the O.H. You've certainly come close serveral times, dear, but haven't quite reached the level of shopping mayhem so often achieved by others... on this very thread...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...
