I have always loved this bag, Dooney leather is extremely amazing, the brand doesn't get the credit it deserves and the quality it outstanding! This bag is just amazing! I'm happy you got it♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

This is the kind of bag that keeps on getting more beautiful as it ages 😍

Rooney and Bourke is so underrated and has better quality in their bags than those 4 times the price!

Good job. I just watched a video of a woman who spends thousands on LV and Chanel and neither of those bags are as nice as D&B. The leather is much thinner on those ridiculously expensive bags, while D&B are really quality made.

Let me tell you.... The same just happen to me, last weekend I went to Macy's and I saw this bag( same color) she had some scratches and I asked for a discount and I got 60% off ! Yessss I pay $160.00 American dollars with taxes😊 I am still in shock

I just ordered this. I’ve wanted one for soooooo long. It’s on it’s way to me. 😊😊😊

Thank you for this video, I can just feel your enthusiasm! You pretty much helped me to decide to get this one. You did well and it looks like new the way you cleaned it up too!

You can tell this is a high end leather, by the sound. I have a Donney and Bourke and they smelling AMAZING! The older they get, the better they get. QVC carries Dooney and Bourke and often times you can get them on 4, 5 , or even on 6 easy pays. That's how I got mine.

My daughter bought me that bag this March, I am in love with it. It is truly a lovely bag and it really does smell like fine leather.

Getting mine today in the elephant color. Im so excited!!! Thanks for sharing!

You're a doll and I enjoyed watching someone who shares my love and enthusiasm over this bag. I'm 5' 10" and the long strap is even too long for me so I doubled the strap. Doubling it makes it the perfect length for shoulder carrying.

Beautiful bag !! I have this one in the chestnut color and a few colors in the small size...it's my favorite style ! I love how you are so in love with it ! Congrats on your great find !

The bag looks great! Great find and save 👍🏼

I am a Dooney fan now.after watching this video I decided to buy this Florentine vachetta medium in natural color.its a beautiful bag.i bought it from the outlet store for $238.😃

Oh gosh, that is one of the most beautiful bags I've ever seen. I hope you love it!

Oh, I just love florentine leather! I have a large tote in florentine, and it spent 3 years in my closet because it was too big and heavy. Well, the other day I took it out, and OMG! It had darkened a little and had a special glow. Wow, just wow! Needless to say, it has become my favorite bag. The satchel is also very beautiful, and you got a great deal. Great video!

Love, love, love your video! I too have this exact handbag, and I absolutely love it. I have yet to take her out of her bag and use it.

Beautiful Florentine satchel your going to enjoy her, the patina process makes D&B natural Florentine bags look so rich. I have the natural in the Clayton. And she looks so different and rich every time. Enjoy your beautiful bag!!!

I finally got my first natural Flo Satchel!! LOooooooove it! I already had black, red, mushroom, taupe and chestnut, which are all beautiful colors, but I still wanted a natural. I found it pre-owned, so it already has a beautiful patina. There's something about this natural color...incredible.

That's a beautiful bag. Love, love the color.

I have this bag in chestnut, but I still watch this video from time-to-time because I love your enthusiasm about the bag! I really one in natural next. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so happy for you getting this deal. The natural colour is gorgeous! I also got this bag at The Bay in TO for half price. I couldn't believe my eyes! There were only a few scratches which I have rubbed and conditioned so they're barely there. Mine is in chestnut and I just love it!

I love a few scratches as it means a bag is used and loved. I will be using mine today.

I got this exact same bag, same color even! It was on a local sales site for $100! Score of the century! :)

Love this bag I've just recently got one in the natural as well. your video helped me decide. thank you!!

I absolutely love your fated "Flo" acquisition story. I saw it a while back and just now commenting. Thank you! I love what you're doing:) From a fellow "Purse Demented" person.

It's so gorgeous! I loved your video 😊 Congrats on your new Dooney. Enjoy. 😊 Ivana

I loved seeing how happy you are with your new bag! My best friend surprised me with the Florentine medium Elisa in the natural colour. It's so beautiful, smells divine, and feels so divinely soft that it's hard not to caress it all the time! I found mine by calling an outlet store, then asked my friend to look at it and pick it up for me and I'd pay over the phone. However, my friend said to wait to pay. My bag was also 50%off because it had been the store sample, so it had been handled wanted had some scuffs. The lady in the store showed my friend how to remove the scuffs by gently rubbing them in a circular motion with the dust bag itself! It works perfectly, and the scuffs are mostly gone. I notice this butter soft leather scuffs very easily, so it gives me peace of mind to know I can keep her looking good! My best friend ended up paying for the Elisa and also grabbing a wine coloured crossbody because he knew I'd really been wanting one of those for awhile, and it too was over 50% off!!! He didn't tell me that part, just bought them both and mailed them to me as a huge gift!!! I couldn't have afforded to get them both. I hope you continue to enjoy your beautiful find, and that the dust bag tip can be of use to you and any other Dooney lovers!

Great video and love the bag. Your going to love it.

OMG I finally found one of these preloved on Depop in Australia (equivalent to US$100 shipped to NZ), I LOVE IT! Still smells of Florentine, a bit of conditioning and she’s amazing, has a gorgeous slouch which I absolutely love! Hope you are well over there, miss your videos 🇳🇿👋🏼

The soft and supple leather really shows on websites where the bag can be purchased. I looked on Poshmark earlier, and i saw sooo many D&B Florentines! I want one in black, and i will get one!!! Soon!!! Thanks for sharing your video!!! 👍❤👜

I have two of these, natural and crimson, so beautiful... there is just something about this bag that screams class to me, enjoy it in the best of health and what a deal!

I bought this bag in the one that's a step smaller about three weeks ago, and love it. TJ Maxx had it on clearance for $150, and the raspberry color is gorgeous. For the first few days that I had it, my entire car smelled like leather. I would put it against any luxury brand.

Hi Purse Demented, cool name :) I have that satchel. I have a decent bag collection but that satchel is still my all time fave. The patina on yours is stunning. You scored a great deal. Loved your video!

I just love watching your videos! I think I have watched this one at c least 10xs !

Oh I am so in love with this bag I am looking at the blue one I love that one so much !!! You got such a great bargain It is currently $500 plus in Canada at the moment 😢 I won't be getting it any time soon TFS enjoy it I love a bag that has a few little scratches

I'm so jealous! great bag you have!

What a beautiful bag I also love Florentine leather 😊 Tfs hugs Kate

Use the dust bag to rub out the scratches. It works perfectly.

Thank you for this! I just purchased this bag off of Poshmark for $160! It was a steal, I hope it’s just as gorgeous in person!!

This video is my favorite Dooney video. I come back and watch it often. Hope you are doing well 😄

Florentine leather is amazing, that is a gorgeous bag.

I lo e love love this bag own it in 5 colors and natural is my favorite!!! thank you for sharing I am a new subscriber! :)

Thanks for the mod pix. That kept me from returning it because I thought it was too big for me. You and I are the same build. :)

I just got mine seconds ago just love db for there leather goods thanks girl for the info

I want a Florentine Satchel so bad but just haven't pulled the trigger. I'm getting to the point in my collection where I might want to let something go if I get something new. I love your new bag and can't wait to see all of the adventures she goes on.

Dooney makes excellent quality bags, they are so underrated IMO. I've been eyeing this purse for awhile. For half the price you hit the jackpot girl!

gorgeous bag and I love the color. I think you made the right decision. On video I can't see the scratches. Congrats and good for you getting it at a steal....TFS and enjoy her as you already are.

I finally broke down and brought a Dooney medium satchel - didn't get the Florentine but got the Oberland and Vachetta medium satchel off the ILOVEDOONEY site. It is 15" long. So progressing towards the Florentine (the only one I got was a Florentine side zip wallet wristlet). No one has posted a Oberland satchel but it is the same as Florentine (no pebbling, smooth type leather). I am done, have over 30 Dooneys here and have to stop. I could have purchased a good Chanel quilted leather to replace my small one. Recently received a Louis Vuitton satchel with the Japanese artist doing the happy faces on the flower petals so no LVs will I ever need. Thanks for posting your videos, I already left you a thumb up on this when I first saw it a couple of years ago, giggles cause it's 2019 already. Stay happy and stay safe.

Thank you for the mod shots. I could not decide which size to get the large or medium and we are the same exact frame. The large looks like a duffel bag. So I’m going to get the medium.

Looks beautiful!!!

This bag is indestructible!!! It's an incredible value. Mine is alive and well. One correction - I call it 'he' - His name is Gerard. It's '22 and I think that I love it more than ever. 🥰 He's handsome with a touch of dandy to him. [And he's got a nice long well-hung strap!]

I bought my daughter the same bag for school she still has it and as it ages , it becomes more beautiful as well as sturdy .

This looks so sturdy!

I just ordered one!!! I’m so excited

Congrats, trust me you will love this leather, I own several florentine leather pieces, also use the dust bag to buff out an scuffs an scratches it works even better, nice to meet you,I just subbed to your channel, the natural will also deepen in color over time,congrats ☺️

I'm lusting for that bag! I own the smaller version in black, but now I want the larger size. There is something about that Florentine leather in the color Natural. I also own the Florentine Smith Bag in Natural and just like with your satchel the complements are endless. I think it's because you just don't see them on everyone the way you do with LV Speedys and Neverfulls, which I love BTW!

I adore mine! Sooo gorgeous!

Love to know if you’re still loving this Florentine bag? Found an Italian Florentine bag in the same colour as yours, a no name brand but made in Italy and am completely in love with mine! I can’t change out of it and it still smells amazing!

Hi Purse Demented. Your enthusiasm about this bag is adorable and contagious! I own several Dooney satchels, though none in florentine -however, your experience makes me want one😃. I realize this vid is over 3 years old so the question is- is she still in your collection? Thanks for sharing your story about this phenomenal bag!!💜💜💜

I just found this bag at tjmaxx for $180! I almost walked away from her because she has quite a few scratches but I'm so glad I didn't! Very helpful video. I cant wait to try to get the scratches to fade on mine

it looks amazing! i wouldn’t have had any idea it was abused if you hadn’t told us.

Congrats!!! She is a beauty! Enjoy!

Yessss the leather smells sooooo good! Lol

This Dooney is most definitely a one of a kind SIZE that appears enormous!!!! When did Dooney & Bourke produce this gorgeous hugh bag ??now I own the large size which is 9x15 btw is much much smaller than what you are showing!!. Can you provide the exact measurements of your bag so your viewers will know the specs of what you are showing. Thanks a million

Actually, you can put leather lotion on the bag. I personally contacted Dooney and Bourke and they couldn't offer me an explanation as why not use leather lotion. The leather of that bag is no diffrent than other leathers. Just a beautiful cowhide leather. True Florentine leather is very soft to the touch and has a suede like feel to it. Whatever you do, do not use saddle soap.

Is this the medium? The one just below/ smaller than the smith bag? Thank you

Can you tell me what size is this gorgeous bag pleaseee

Yes! I have one too and the smell is so amazing! I can smell it 3 feet away, mine is brand new though. Will it change?

I want to wash it can u please tell me how to wash it

Great buy!

i'm in love with that handbag

I received the bag I exchanged because of defective leather in the Natural Florentine Medium Satchel we discussed. I replaced it with Black Black rather than Natural. My question to you pertains to the leather itself. Should a D&B Florentine satchel be perfectly smooth or pebbly? My replacement bag is pebbly from top to bottom. At least it is uniform. I am keeping it because even though the finish is not what I paid for, the bag is handsome, the leather is textured but soft, and I have already waited a month and did not want to wait anymore.

She's beautiful. I'm getting a medium one soon. I love leather bags and coats💎💎💎✨✨✨🌞🌹🌺

It’s been 8 years, what are your thoughts on this bag?

Great review, thanks!

pls tell me price for this bag in Us dollars....want to buy it

Are there any tips you can give me.. You know how the zipper part kinda hangs over? Well mine is brand new got the small satchel and that part kinda sticks up, making it really difficult to use the hand straps. This is my first lux bag. Can I train it to stay down? Or will it happen over time?

Hi what size is your bag please

BEAUTIFUL bag!!! I love your videos!! They are so cute and original!! I have this satchel in both the small and medium size!! I have the small one in Natural (which had more pebbling than I had liked) but loved it so much I went and got the medium in Tmoro Brown (which is a MUCH smoother leather than the natural!

What size is this bag? Thanks

What size of Florentine satchel is that? It looks so big, is there a Large size? I only found the medium size in their website. Please and thank you 😊

Beautiful bag....

Well, you made me to buy this one as well :))

I have been watching a lot of videos of designers handbags and I have been really impressed with the higher end Dooney bags. If you put these bags next to a chanel or LV bag they literally outshine those expensive bags. I think that is why none of the high end designer collectors ever mention D and B. They know that the comparison is very revealing as to how much some of those really expensive bags are a rip off.

Just got mine today! Your happiness is so contagious! I feel the same way about my bag! Is yours a medium or large?

Why is your bag shiny? I really like it. My Flo (small) is matte in Natural color. Please and thank you ☺️

Beautiful. I would like to know from where can i find this brand in Toronto?. Bay??. Also is the medium??. Do you still have it, does this get better with use?. Thanks :)

beautiful enjoy it.

Is this a medium bag? It appears the website only advertise small and medium.

Love this bag. But live in Canada so who knows if I will ever get one

This seems enormous! Can you provide precise measurements! Thank you 🙏

Hi! Is this Florentine Satchel the medium size? You said large size and I can't find the large size on Dooney & Bourke website. There is a medium size for $398.00. Is this the same bag? I'm so happy you got a great bag for a great bargain!

Beautiful

Is this the vaccheta Florentine? Searching for Dooney and Bourke Florentine satchel comes up different types of bags. Love it!

l got the medium in taupe & I must say I am so in love w/ her💜💙💚

She is just gorgeous and I am so happy you were able to rescue her! What a DEAL or should I say STEAL? You did good work on her as I really didn't notice any glaring marks on her at all. I still haven't been able to pick one of these up, but I am hoping to some time in the near future. I love that natural color and I am thinking that because of your video I have finally made up my mind that is going to be the color I get when I do get mine. That is unless I have a purse intervention... lol... Well, we'll see. Thanks for sharing. I love that you are also enjoying her smell as well as her beauty. I LOVE the smell of a good leather purse and I have since I was in high school. hehee. That's been a very long time. Just saying. Is the purse forum on FB? I keep forgetting to ask anyone and I am really curious. Thank you. Hugs Lisa G

Gorgeous bag, I have yet to get this bag. I have the Kingston Hobo an that dust cover bag that came with it is so darn small, i have to almost force my bag into it.😕😕

I’m ur new sub😍👍. Really amazing bag nice choice dear... what is the colour of this bag?? I don’t understand actual colour in video n real??

excellent choice,I have this in the natural,brown ,black,chestnut and a red ostrich,it is a very classy work horse,I cant go an hour without someone complementing me on this bag,it is supposed to look aged, that's why the soft leather scratches,but you can rub them down,I was surprised at how affordable these were,the older they get the better,I promise I will post pictures on IG, when I get a moment, use this beautiful bag in the very best of health xoxo MJ
