To each its own. I hadn’t bought a Dooney and Bourke since the early 2000’s because I ended up becoming a big coach fan. Then comes 2019 and a coworker reawakened my love for them. Started watching KZbin videos and came across the pecantan beauty’s page, and she opened my eyes to the bag you’re showing in this video; the Florentine satchel. I bought one, and it was love at first sight. Now, as of today I’ve lost count of how man I own in that style. I have that style in so many different colors. It’s a staple style in my collection. Another style I really like from them is their Barlow style, and Clayton’s. Just remember, if you ever buy anymore from them, Florentine leather is heavy, and Dooney doesn’t skimp on the quality of their leather. They’ve had a price hike over the years, but their quality of leather is worth every penny

Dooney and Bourke is an iconic American brand, designed by Peter Dooney. The red satchel is possibly the most loved and collected of all D&B handbags. It is worn by folding the top over, to create the famous Dooney "smile." Even though it's not a current fad item, it's still very popular. I think you will regret giving it up.

Thank you for sharing, I had no idea, that the satchel (especially the red one) is such a favorite of the brand 😳 (might explain aswell, why this video got some people quite emotional and there's even a KZbin reaction about my video 🙈). I think the bag I bought, might have been hardly worn, cause the top does not already fold very easily... guess the leather has to still soften somewhat by use for that "smile". Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the brand and this bag style ❤️

I honestly think some people don't understand what high quality leather (like what is used in equestrian sports) is supposed to look and feel like. It comes stiff, it has to be broken in, it will definitely weigh more because it is thicker quality, and it doesn't just come ready-to-wear the same way that a lighter canvas LV speedy bag does. People have lost touch with quality over time because we've been gaslit for so long into thinking "newer" equals better, and more social media craze means higher quality. When in reality, that's SO far from the truth.

I think both bags are timeless. BUT, if you are sensitive to heavy bags the Florentine Satchel would not be a good option. A lot of people have a love/hate relationship with that bag due to the beauty and craftsmanship vs. the weight and lack of exterior pockets. It is much nicer after you use it for a while and it softens up and gets that slouchy look and zipper smile. The smaller versions look less "old lady" ish and are not quite as heavy. But good leather will weigh a bit more.

Loved your video. I own approximately 60 Dooney & Bourke bags. At least 5 in this same style. However they are smaller. You may like this style in a smaller bag like the Nano or Micro. What I was amazed at was the price you paid. Depending on size and wear these bags usually go for $150-$450 even preloved here in the US. I had one like this in the mini size which is 11 inches across the bottom. I sold it and regretted it terribly. The red was more cherry red than brick red. Then about a year later I found one in a smaller size. I will say I am now in my 60's so some Dooney bags may be for us older gals. LOL We all have our own personal taste. I have 3 grown daughters ranging from 30-45 and none of them care for most of my bags. So its ok that you don't care for this bag. Thats just more for us older gals. :-) Thank you for the video. 😃

I grew up wanting D&B. It was a very prestigious brand in 80's and early 90's. So prestigious that fakes were made. I bought their original Duck bag in 1991/1992. It was the only one I could save up for. I still have it and the leather is amazing. I don't love all D&B styles and same for every contemporary and luxury brands. They are made for different people, styles and lifestyles, so it's ok to not something that doesn't fit your style or lifestyle. It's ok to not like the brand as a whole. I don't think people would care. I love Coach and someone I know would not even consider Coach to be in her wardrobe. I'm not offended by it. I feel like she could be missing out the beauty I find in Coach. It's just personal preference, so why would anyone be offended? You don't have to like my bag and I don't have to like yours. We buy what we buy because we love it and not because someone else loves it. It is tempting when there's a good deal and value. What an amazing find for that price! I don't love the style as well, but it would be nice to resell it to someone in that D&B community for an amazing price. Or give it away to a follower who wants a chance to win it. Or donate it to a charity that can raffle it off for a good cause. No point forcing to keep something when you don't love it other than the price itself. Let someone else who will enjoy it way more to love and cherish it.

Your process of deciding what to do with the bag - whether to sell, gift, or keep trying it out - is something many of us can relate to. It's interesting to see how our tastes and practical needs clash sometimes, especially with luxury items. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with the bag and more of your mindful luxury insights!

Their onlineshop seems to ship worldwide, but they are most popular in the US.

Are Dooney and Bourke bags sold anywhere in Europe❓ Does anyone know ❓ I'm in Europe and I have a collection of them, but my bags are bought from their eBay Store (in the US) and also directly from the DB website (in the US). Bags in flee markets may have come to Europe in the same way as mine... Or that people have bought them when they have visited the US... I love the silhouette of the red bag this lady shows ! ♥️♥️♥️ It comes in many sizes and many colors. There is something nostalgic about it, but also something classic... 👍 Pluss in Europe you stand out when you wear DB, they will be seen as "special" bags from a brand that almost noone else has, and I like that... 😉🤣

I don’t think they have stores in Europe 🤔 but their website seems to ship to Europe. You‘re absolutely right, you don’t see D&B that often on the streets in Europe. For the blue Ambler bag I even know, that the seller herself bought it, when she was on a US trip, cause she told me „that’s a special bag, I bought it when traveling the US“, I still remember 😁. For the red Florentine Satchel, the lady unfortunately didn’t tell me, where she herself got it from (but I guess it might have been a similar story)

I’m a D&B fan, and I’m with you - I don’t care for it either, hehe! I started my designer bag journey with D&B, I own some of their bags, and I’ve owned this bag specifically. I disliked it so much, I gave it to my Mom because I didn’t want it to sit in my closet. As you mention, it’s very high quality and well made, so no issue there. Ultimately, I did not like the style of bag and it’s just got too much going on. If they had left the tassels off, it might have been better.

I bough the nano size ( smallest size available) of your red bag in the Bordeaux color. I love it. I want it in navy too. I think bigger bags in general look like they’re for older women, and a design can emphasize that. This is one of those designs. But it’s real cute in smaller sizes.

Ooooh you didn’t miss it, I completely forgot to mention any measurements. My bag is the „regular“ one 🤔, not the Large, not the Nano Florentine Satchel 😁. H 8" x W 5.75" x L 13"

Hi, this satchel reminds me the Chloe bags (which I never owned), too much leather (strings, tassels) and too much hardware; the satchel/tote style I prefer Is the one of The Row 😛, so minimal, which I will never own of course 😐. If something does not make you smile but you are trying to find reasons to love It maybe It Is not right for you 🫤, bye 😍

Someone in the comments pointed out aswell, that it looks like a MiuMiu Satchel bag from the past - guess there has been a time, when this look was hot 😁

It definitely looks out dated. Like back to early 2000s. Especially this red. With the buckles. But if you know dooneys and can appreciate the brand, you can style it as “classic” “retro” looking fashion. I wouldn’t try to style it with current 2024 outfits. Wear it when you were your “cow girl, barn yard” attire. That’s my plan. Keep it tho. It will be back in style at some point.
