I particularly love the Toledo Medium Mail Satchel...

[Honeytown]

I have the Toledo Mail satchel (chestnut) and have enjoyed it very much. It is a good size for me and not heavy to carry. The wide opening makes it super easy to get into and out of too!

That's a nice bag too! However, for me, since many of my handbags are coated cotton satchels, nylon totes, janine satchels...all with no outside pockets whatsoever, I like the changeover to having them with the east/west sac and the simplicity...bare to the bones so to speak...of just one handle/strap too

You're welcome! If you or anyone else is interested...

I just noticed that currently there is a chestnut one at ILoveDooney dot com for $238 (SKU 8L997CS - UPC 738843956900)...

I love this bag. I do wish it had an outside pocket, but the size and weight are great. I bought it in natural but would like to get it in blue and rouge at some point.

What wonderful information you all have shared! I have also had my eye on that Toledo bag and am happy to see the favorable recommendation. But I may give deep consideration to one of the nylon bags with leather trim. Such a delicious decision. Thanks, everyone!

some department stores carry some of the bags, so you can go check one out in person before ordering from any online source.

The Florentine Medium Hobo is fantastic and plenty big, and only weighs a pound. It is one of the lightest weight florentine leather bags. Right now it is sold out on QVC , but for sale on other sites, including dooney.com

You might also consider the coated fabric bags. These are wonderful. They look and feel somewhat like leather, but are lighter and can just be wiped clean. They come in several silhouettes... Here is the Eva coated satchel in red and also in black. I have and love this bag (in red), but there are lots of coated options from Dooney.
