Oh, I just hope it doesn't have that "plastic looking" liner!! I'm torn between the natural and the mushroom.


But it DOES!

Fun, if you got the email to shop early, go through that. When you do, the product page is showing $5 shipping. I don't want the bag, but I just checked my email and the link came up to the page that says FIVE (not six) EP and five bucks to ship. This one literally looks like a knock-off to me, but the page I'm seeing is showing five and five.

Thanks Stevie, you know what it is, I really like that nude color paired with black! I'm not much of a hobo girl...I definitely prefer a satchel or tote or the combination of both lol!! I think I may wait for the presentations so not to have any regrets here lol!! Incidentally, have you seen the Croco Fino Satchel at TJMaxx recently? The stores in my area have them in the Tmoro and Red...oh, I'm really tempted to add one more of these to my collection lol...

Now THAT is such a pretty bag. Love it in red... The Maxx in my area has been feast or famine lately. Lots of really good stuff, but, well, when it's gone it's gone... (sorry, I couldn't resist) and restocking isn't as quick as I'd like it to be. Lots of Kors around here and of Arcadia, Lauren, a few Dooney and so on... Haven't seen the croco fino locally and wish I'd happen upon one in red. I'd love one, but it would be for my mother for Christmas, who has now told me more than a few times she wants a red croco bag!

As for this one, I'll check out the presentation, and maybe I'm wrong, but this one seems to live down... to the notion that some folks put out there about the 'made for Q' Dooneys. Usually, I think they're essentially decent bags, just not standard issue Dooney, but this one, somehow, just looks a little too watered down. Again though, maybe I'm wrong and it'll be lovely when presented... Like you though, not usually much of a hobo fan.

It's funny, because the "made for Q" thing often crosses my mind when considering the TSVs ...and eventually leads me to pass on most of them lol! I think in seeing the presentation, it will clarify my " true desire" for this bag lol!! I'm also tempted, with the TSVs, to wait until they show up in "As Is"....the pricing is so much more attractive lol!! Oh my gosh, we have such a saturation of MK here too along with Arcadia (one of my Mom's favorites), Lauren and various Italian designers. Cole Haan and Dooney are also staples. I converted my Mother to Dooney recently (she, of course, is an avid handbag collector...definitely genetic lol) and I bought her one for Christmas last year. I hope the Croco Fino makes it way to your area so you can snatch that one up for your mom!Smiley Happy)))

No more ""Made for Q"" Dooney TSVs for me!

They all seem to be inferior quality.

I've been fooled TWICE...no more!!!

my e-mail from QVC showed $5.00 shipping and handling - not sure why there is a difference -

I've never had a problem with any of the D & B bags purchased through QVC. I have, however, had a problem with several bought through Macy's; so I will continue my QVC buys. I think today's bag is beautiful and I don't ever like hobos, but this has a very nice look. I love the ivy.

I got the e-mail, tried to order and when it got to the submit the order the shipping was changed back to 11.97. So I canceled the order.

It's a "no" for me. Don't like hobos, don't like two tone, and hate tassels. That pretty much sums it up.

I am really trying to buy 'not M.I.C.' It is my own form of protest, therefore, I pass on the D&B bags. However, at one presentation, I saw a lovely spring and summer bag by Dooney that had a white background and green ferns. I caved and bought it. I carried it most of the season. And, what a hoot, I got more "I love that bag" from folks than any other made in Italy bag I have. Go figure.
