Shoes

[MSA2004]

have arrived! They are so beautiful! I love the flowers! I got the Collins in white; the barrel satchel in Black. Today, I got the Online Countdown offer in Black as well. Oh, they are soooooooo pretty! They just lift my mood. I adjusted the sides on the Collins bag (much, much, much easier than on the TSV, btw) to get all of the length that I could out of that strap.

The black one is really roomy inside. I am not usually a fan of the doctor satchel style purse, but I really like this one. The multi-color zippers are nice and move easily. There are no outer pockets on the satchel. The shoulder strap is removable. It is a little different that the strap does not attach on the "ends" of the purse, but they do attach to the shorter handles. The handles are actually usable (not those teeny little 2" - 4" handles that are on some of the bags lately from D&B). Easy to carry, even without the shoulder strap.

The Collins has two large outside pockets - one slip with a magnet closure; the other zips (has the same multi color zipper as the top). It reminds me of a larger version of my Margot crossbody. The white background is really bright white. There is white leather trim all over the purse.

Both purses are a coated cotton - very weatherproof, I imagine - similar to my 1975 Signature crossbody. There is a Dooney hangtag on each purse, but no DB initials displayed prominently. Written into the design is Dooney & Bourke, spelled out. If you have any of the giraffe pieces, you have seen this treatment before.

Makes me wish I had gotten the Collins in black too. However, the variety of styles is a nice option to have. They are "happy" purses. Happy Friday Eve!!!!!!!!!!!!!
