Does anyone own this bag in geranium? If so, how do you like that color? I'm tempted but afraid it will be a hazard cone orange. Saw the geranium color on another dooney bag in Macys and it looked exactly like a hazard cone color. If you own this bag in geranium, what is your opinion of that color?

Geranium is about the only color I don't have.The strawberry is a nice color,if you've looking for more of a color in the pink line.It is the color of a dark strawberry.I didn't care for the geranium myself,I like the Orange better,if I want one in Orange/red tone.

I like the geranium color but it's not pink, I'd have to describe it as tomato red. I'd wait a bit longer. For some reason I suspect this bag will be offered in pink sooner or later. It seems the 'baby pink' is one of the few new colors they're pushing this spring. I don't personally care for the color or this bag, and while I could be wrong, I'd be surprised if they don't unleash this bag in some more seasonal colors as Sue indicated they would.

I think your right Stevieb, I also think that they are going to unleash a soft pink at some point. The trick is to catch the first broadcast of the new colors or you will not be able to get one. I thought that today may be today but I think I'm wrong. I just wish there was some way to know when they will schedule the airing of new colors.

It's always hard to know and they might sneak it in early, but my guess is they'll be unveiling a bit of new, both color and style, the next time there's a TSV, when there will be quite a few shows. I think someone said that's slated for early May but anytime there are multiple Dooney shows on tap, it's a good idea to check out the offerings. It could show up tonight, but it seems that more times than not, the stand alone shows are just to fill time and clear out existing stock, often in limited colors.

Your absolutely right about that. I'm just going to check on a daily basis. Do you know when in May they plan to air the next TSV? Its a shame that when you want to buy something you have to stalk the website until you finally find it.

I have this in geranium and am thinking of sending it back. While the color first looked yummy, I am now noticing too much of an orange tone. In fact, I've had people in stores compliment me on "that pretty orange bag!" I don't want orange. It's not traffic cone orange as it has a deeper tone that that and isn't neon, but it's more orange than I would like. I want more red tone for a nice tropical color. When accessorizing most of my outfits, it looks orange. The only time it looks geranium is when the room lighting is darker. In the light of day it looks orange.

Thanks Lonestar Babs, that is just the info I needed. I was hoping that it would have a little more of a pink tint to it but I guess not. It's pretty though, but I want to hold out for a very pink bag. I might in the future purchase geranium from the "as is" section. I do like it because it's very different.
