You could always call Dooney and ask their recommendations, maybe since it is still under warranty they would replace or at least give you something towards a new bag, using their trade in program. I love the looks of the new Toledo Chelsea but after looking at the corners of the bag will not purchase because that one looks like it will really be prone to wear and color loss. Hopefully down the road, I'll be wrong. I purchased 2 Florentine Chelsea's, at least I know what to expect from Florentine leather. Good luck in finding a workable solution for your bag. Let us know what works.

I think the Chelsea is a winner regardless of the leather! Do enjoy your new Florentine Chelsea bags, allthatsgood... Interesting to note that the Chelsea and the Bristol in Florentine are not using any contrasting trim, but are a consistent color... Not sure yet how I feel about that. I like them both ways, but sort of wish we had the option!

Hey Girl! Yep, we both like Miss Chelsea. Peter has "snagged" us again! Of course I fall hook, line and sinker, with pretty bait he puts on the hook! I love the Toledo Chelsea in natural, but after rolling over the pictures on the Dooney website, my feeling is these corners will possibly show wear and lose color. I hope I'm wrong, but still not going there. I looked at the grey Florentine and it's pretty, and so many are loving it, but I wonder when this starts to patina will it look muddy and dirty? The Bristol is a great satchel. This may be one I go for in marine. I did something I didn't think I would do and that is buy a Nubuck Suede Chelsea during Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. I like the Chelsea's because they are plain, they really look rich to me. Now that being said the contrast Chelsea's are beautiful, too. You and I own the Dillen leather ones. What are your thoughts on this Buckley Bag?

I just ordered the new Chelsea pebble leather in the gray! I looked on Dooneys website and the gray is gorgeous. Nothing like the gray shown here. This will be my first Chelsea but I so love the look of it. It looks very roomy and classy at the same time. Will have it Wednesday. Can't wait! Of course my UPS comes about 7:00 pm. Makes for a long day. :-)

Enjoy your new bag! Let us know if you love the grey as much in person.

Chelsea is a class act... And, as we've both said before, reminds me of 'classic' Dooney... I've yet to see any incarnation of it I don't think is a winner!

Have to say I love the Toledo leather bags... Not sure on their durability, but then I ask myself if I really care... Heck, at the rate I accumulate bags, I'll probably never wear any of them out anyway!

Yes, the grey is proving to be very popular, and while I like it, so far, I don't love it enough to want anything in that choice... Glad to know you like the Bristol. I go back and forth on that one but feel certain that at some point I'll "need" one to round out the collection...

I love the Buckley... I've said I'll never get it because I don't do drawstrings, but I'm about to do a complete about face. I think it's beautiful and a bit of a change... Problem is, I want to see more of the color options. I'm thinking I'd like this one in ivy or t'moro, though all of the colors are pretty. You just know though that if this silhouette takes off, Dooney will introduce it in other leathers, so I wonder if it's worth waiting for...?
