@faeriemoon You are right, the caramel color from Dooney is orangey...I just never thought about it that way.
When I try to take a picture of my bag, it looks tan, but in person, it definitely has an orange undertone.

@Carmie I ordered a bag from ILD in "Desert" because I watched the presentation on QVC where it was described as a British Tan (which I like.) A couple of the reviews mentioned the orangey cast, and I thought; "can't be; the name is Desert and they said it's like British Tan. Wrong!!!!! Should have gone with my gut. Sent that sucker right back.
Unless a bag is specifically orange (I have a tangerine bag that I love), I don't like that orange/brown cast to leather at all.
(Ended up re-buying that bag I returned in Oyster. Love!!)

@faeriemoon You are so right about the desert color. I saw it in person and didn't care for it at all. It looked muddy to me. I love my oyster bag. The color is like a chameleon. It tends to change color with the outfit you are wearing.

My go to neutral is and long has been off-white/bone/vanilla... I prefer it to tans or taupes, though they all have a place and our individual preferences will vary...

As we say in France if it is not love at first sight (coup de foudre)
I would return it or go for the taupe 🌻

I have an elephant crossbody from Dooney and the trim is brown. So if Dooney thinks it works with earthtones, who am I to argue? I've been using this bag every day, my dress shoes and casual shoes are also grey. This is my first venture into grey during my entire adult life. Now I have to think about sandals. I noticed at the doctor's office waiting room that I was the only one wearing "winter" shoes, 90% of the women were in sandals. It's still 50-60 degrees here.

I own Dooneys in every color of the rainbow, including 1 in elephant. I have to say, the elephant is my least favorite color. I don't understand why so many ladies love that color. If you don't love it, then exchange it for a color that will make you happier. When you look at a new handbag you should smile.

My thanks to all of you ladies who have responded, I am probably going to take your advice and exchange this bag, I just hope I'm not too lazy to get it re-packaged and shipped before my 30 days.
