Such a great video, Liz! It’s always so helpful to hear about experiences with different bags, even if they’re not 100% positive . I can totally relate to the frustration when a bag doesn’t live up to expectations, but Dooney really does make some beautiful pieces. I could see that the leather softens over time and gets better, but if it’s not the right fit, though, don’t hesitate to return it-it’s all about finding the one that makes your heart skip a beat. 💖 Thanks for sharing!
@@loyayyay thank you for watching my friend!! I appreciate you. I am glad I got the bag and saw it in person. I would have been thinking about it and wanting it if I hadn’t. You’re absolutely right, at this point in my collection I have to add pieces I love. And this one just didn’t do it for me. The awesome thing is that new bags come out everyday. 😁
I appreciate you doing the video. It gives a different perspective on the bag and will be helpful to some. There are bags that don't work or are not what we expect all the time. So your fail actually saved you from keeping a bg you did not love after getting it and that is okay. Listen there are millions of other bags that do work you will find the perfect one. There are videos of bags I thought would work, and forced myself trying to make it work and then I was like why, this bag is not it and kept it moving. You know we look at new bags daily so we won't be heartbroken lol. TFS
@@djking247 IKR?!?? 😅 I am definitely gonna find another bag or 10 that I love and want to add. This was just one failure. I’m glad I got it cuz I was watching that bag online everyday after seeing it in videos. I definitely love the color and the hardware. And I learned more about the style of leather Dooney has. This was definitely a learning experience. 🩷🩷🩷 Thanks for watching my friend. ☺️
Hey, Liz, the lot # is just one batch of several. I've never seen Dooney fold a bag. Thank goodness they inserted a 'cushion'! The stiff leather speaks of quality. I have many Dooneys so I know yours would soften beautifully, but if it's too big, back she goes.😢I'm sorry you were disappointed. Don't give up on Dooney!🤗🌻
@@lindap7719 thank you Linda. And you are right, I gifted this bag to a friend and she said it has softened already since she got it. I think I just had an expectation and so I was disappointed but it wasn’t the quality. I haven’t given up on that style though. Cuz I love that closure.
I am totally with you on my bag not being folded. Unboxing a back that’s poorly packaged is no bueno and can taint my overall feelings. I always enjoy your videos! I remind myself that sometimes we have to go through these fails to know when we have the wins. I’ve had a few bad unboxing lately and then had a great one and that’s how I knew how it should feel when we get something we love and should keep.
@@WhatLeslyeLoves so true Leslye!!!! Because we’ve experienced great packaging and shipping experiences we know what to expect.

@@Mrs.PBanks thank you Mrs P! I appreciate you for watching. It is hard to have an expectation of a bag so disappointment is always a possibility when we expect a certain outcome. I do love the color. And the closure on the bag. I know Dooney has other bags with that closure. So there’s still hope. ♥️♥️♥️
@@momambition I didn’t do good research and that’s on me. I’m surrounded by Dooney experts. I do love the color and that lock design. I think I just got the wrong leather based on my expectations. Fortunately I was able to gift this bag to a friend and she is in love with it. ☺️
Awww Sis it's Gorgeous! Yes it comes folded. It will get softer over time. Ms Robin and I both have it in Florentine Red. Sis I think you have a Sorrento leather bag. Mo has Pebble grain. Beautiful bag Sis
@@SimplyDee9301 I think the leather is a BIG determining factor. It was a beautiful bag. Color and design. But I needed it to come out of the box as soft as the ones I had seen. 😩
Thanks for putting this out there! Dooney leather definitely softens, but it takes a minute. If it’s your only bag and you use it daily it’ll start to melt, but I rotate mine and the Dooney I bought a year ago is still as stiff as the day I bought it. But I bought a used satchel that someone broke in, and it’s like butter.
@@joecarroll8286 REALLY?!?! Still stiff after a year?!? Oh no! 😟 And I also don’t carry my bags very often having so many. So I wouldn’t have the time to get it how I want it. My friend I gave it to will love it though. 😍
We aren’t mad! You never really know how it’ll work until you get it in hand. I am not supposed to be buying any bags, but would take it off your hands if you decide to return! 😬
@@TheHopefulminimalist I gifted it to a friend and she said it had softened already since so it’s probably not giving it enough time. The color is beautiful and I love the closure design. 😍

This is an absolutely stunning bag! But I can hear the disappointment in your voice. It’s a shame when you expect a bag to be a certain way and once you receive it you feel underwhelmed because you expected something different.

I’m just like you, I always liked the hardware clip closure of this hobo bag. I agree with folded leather, I need it stuffed. It seems like a nice work bag. Also I always felt this bag would be a great alternative to the gucci Jackie.
@@ddbookie I see that Jackie reference!!!! That hardware is what I fell in love with. And I did want that color. I think I should have done a better job researching the leathers though. Everyone is saying that bag does get softer over time so it’s worth a look at the right price.
This video was very helpful. I’m trying to get into Dooney as well and I’ve found that it is really taking some time to find the right bags for me. Like you experienced here I’ve found that the bags run BIG. I gravitate toward a small bag so I’ve had to pay the $10 return fee a couple times. I like to watch a lot of videos with mod shots to try to get a feel for the size of the bag but you never really know until it’s in front of you.
@@demeraa yes!!!! Cuz I watched a few videos on this bag and it never looked as big on their videos as it did in person to me. I thought I had the wrong size. 🤭

Hi Liz! Sorry your bag didn’t work out for you. It could be the leather like someone said. I know the folding was strike one. I could hear it in your voice. Moe’s bag was already stuffed so it looked more appealing and Robin’s Florentine was🔥! The one thing they both had in common was the color. I wonder if you would like it better in red? 🤷🏽 That gray is pretty. I’m glad your friend is enjoying it. 😊Thanks for sharing! 💕💕💕
@@JustBeingWanda YES!!! The packaging put a bad taste in my mouth and I don’t think I recovered. I also agree with the color. This bag has to come in different leathers. And I got the wrong one, for me. I do love the color though. With that gold hardware. And I LOVE the closure. Just love it!!!! 😍
@@JustBeingWanda thank you Wanda!!!! 😁. One thing I’m gonna do is get them nails done. I love having nails I like to look at. I guess this color was the right one cuz I’ve never had as many compliments on my nails as I did this video. 🫣🤭
I’m sorry the bag didn’t work out for you. It’s a beautiful color. If the bag doesn’t make you excited, don’t keep it. It was only make you less excited as time goes on.
It is a mystery why Dooney ships some bags folded and some not. I think a lot of folks store their Logo Locks folded. It is also a mystery to me what the numbers mean on the label 😂.
@@SuzWhat I’m glad it’s not just me Suz! 🤭 That has the questions. They definitely should have shipped it stuffed in my opinion. I shipped it to a friend and I stuffed it for her. The box was big enough so not sure why it was folded.
I have never had a problem with packaging from Dooney and Bourke. The way your bag was packaged is unacceptable. It is a huge no no to fold a bag when placing it in the packaging. Customers shouldn’t have to stuff the bag to remove creases. I am so sorry that you had this experience. It is a lovely bag, but if it isn’t what you expected, return it. Your dream Dooney and Bourke bag is still waiting for you. ❤
@@Silverwarrior7 thank you so much!!! ☺️ I totally agree, bags should be stuffed when shipped. But you’re absolutely right, Dooney does ship a lot of bags well and makes some beautiful pieces.

@@JustBeingWanda YES!!! The packaging put a bad taste in my mouth and I don’t think I recovered. I also agree with the color. This bag has to come in different leathers. And I got the wrong one, for me. I do love the color though. With that gold hardware. And I LOVE the closure. Just love it!!!! 😍
@@JustBeingWanda thank you Wanda!!!! 😁. One thing I’m gonna do is get them nails done. I love having nails I like to look at. I guess this color was the right one cuz I’ve never had as many compliments on my nails as I did this video. 🫣🤭
I’m sorry the bag didn’t work out for you. It’s a beautiful color. If the bag doesn’t make you excited, don’t keep it. It was only make you less excited as time goes on.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade so true. And as many bags as I added last year I didn’t need to add another bag. 🤣
@ girl same! I can’t believe how many new bags I have in my collection.
It is a mystery why Dooney ships some bags folded and some not. I think a lot of folks store their Logo Locks folded. It is also a mystery to me what the numbers mean on the label 😂.
@@SuzWhat I’m glad it’s not just me Suz! 🤭 That has the questions. They definitely should have shipped it stuffed in my opinion. I shipped it to a friend and I stuffed it for her. The box was big enough so not sure why it was folded.
I have never had a problem with packaging from Dooney and Bourke. The way your bag was packaged is unacceptable. It is a huge no no to fold a bag when placing it in the packaging. Customers shouldn’t have to stuff the bag to remove creases. I am so sorry that you had this experience. It is a lovely bag, but if it isn’t what you expected, return it. Your dream Dooney and Bourke bag is still waiting for you. ❤
@@Silverwarrior7 thank you so much!!! ☺️ I totally agree, bags should be stuffed when shipped. But you’re absolutely right, Dooney does ship a lot of bags well and makes some beautiful pieces. I’m definitely not giving up on them because of one experience. And I gifted that bag to a friend who absolutely loves it. I stuffed it before shipping it to her. I appreciate you watching and commenting my friend!!!! 🩷🩷
