Hello Everyone! I just want to say I appreciate all of your watching and your kind comments. I don't always get to replying right away, but i want you to know you are very much appreciated. Thanks for watching. xoxo :)
Noah is so cute! Hi Rob! That was so sweet when Noah hugged him. Great review on this bag! It is really beautiful and looks great on you. I love the color. Your Florentine Logo Lock tote looks beautiful too. Thanks for the mod shots, they help a lot to determine how it will work. I’m so happy to see all 3 of you looking so well. You look amazing! Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing! Peace and love...SuzWhat 🌻🌼🌻🌼
Hi Suz, thanks! Rob says HI. You're welcome. It's always hard for me to decide if a bag will work unless I try it on so I always love to see that too. Thanks for the very kind compliments always Suz. You are the sweetest! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Hello Gorgeous! You look absolutely beautiful. Welcome to the big bag club. She’s a beautiful bag. I think she’s a great work bag as well. The color is very autumnal and it looks good with your outfit. Great review my friend. TFS! 💕❤️💕❤️
Thanks so much Ange! Yes, its not a very deep wine. I am LOVING this logo lock tote. I hesitated to carry it for a few months, but now I'm hooked! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Hi Ivanna, I just loved seeing Noah. What a beautiful and healthy looking boy 👦. God bless him. Love your new tote, especially the color. Your Florentine tote is a better work bag while your new tote is more lightweight to go on shopping trips and can be used occasionally for work when you carry less. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your new tote ❤️
Hi Albena, Thanks so much! He is a handful for sure. I think you hit it right on the head about the bag. I'm finding it that in between size thats too big for everyday and too small for work. Surprisingly this Florentine tote is really light for florentine. It's really worked well for me so far. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Noah is too cute! Hi Rob! I really like that tote and I love the Patterson collection. I’m so torn on that center zip, but that bag has such a great shape. I bet it is a perfect work tote. I have her on my list. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on her. 🌺
Thanks Sonja! He's our little jokester that makes us laugh everyday. Rob says HI! I'm not finding the center zip too much of a bother, but I understand it's not for everyone. Maybe you might like some other bags from this collection that don't have that center zip. It's a great collection. Thanks for watching! xoxo :)
Very pretty bag and color Ivana. Geesh, I never would have considered throwing a laptop in there but what a great idea. My favorite detail on that collection is the strap design. Very unique. And that little one is precious. Have a Lovely Holiday.💕🤗 🎄
Hi Closet Dive, thanks so much! The strap is my favorite detail on this collection too. It's very different for Dooney. Thanks on Noah. He's our little handful. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Your grandson is such a doll baby. Oh my that’s a very nice bag. Such a beautiful color. I like satchels and totes. Small bags don’t work for me as a every day bag. I carry to much crap lol lol. That’s a very nice bag for your work. TFS happy holidays sweetie. Hugs🎄💋😘
HI Rosa! Thanks so much! LOL...too much c%a$. I probably would too if I didn't switch bags everyday. LOL! :) Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Thanks so much Melissa! It's hard getting used to a big bag, but I like how it looks. Also I'm finding it great to hold extra things like hats, gloves and scarves. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Hi Ivana!! Look at that sweet baby❤️Aren't grandbabies so much fun? I am lucky enough to watch mine everyday and I love it 😊 I am a big/medium bag girl so I definitely love this bag!! Beautiful color as well!! Thanks for sharing and I hope you all have a wonderful holiday ❤️🎄
Hi Chrissie, thanks so much! They are fun and a challenge. He is a bundle of energy. Enjoy that grandbaby! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Ivana, I love the big bags! When I worked in the city (gov't clerical/administrative), I carried my lunch, my agenda/journal, my laptop, etc... Been retired since May 2014, but CAN'T give them up! I volunteer at our local library once a week, & at our church a couple of times a month, & I need a DUMP bage, to just throw in what I need! I have seven medium-large Dooney bags; got a Tory Burch Gemini large tote at a silent auction; & a J.PetermanCounterfeit Postman's Bag. I also have a couple of DB small pouches, for when I don't need a lot! Shoulder/crossbody bags are a necessity for me. Love your videos!
Hi Kurt, thanks so much! I hope you are enjoying your retirement. Now you can carry your bags for fun instead of work.:) Your collection sounds really nice and diverse. Thanks for the compliments and keep on enjoying those bags of yours! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Hi Deborah, you are so right about that. I think Luke Bryan said it best in his song, "Days go slow and years go fast". Sometimes days go fast too! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Hi Ivana! Good point about the extra security in an open top bag. I think this might be the Emily Shoulder Bag, as opposed to the Emily Tote I showed in my "center zip" video. Yours is more square; mine seems a tiny bit more rectangular, and a tiny bit larger. The Patterson collection is one of my favorite-ever collections from Dooney and I'm so glad you've added this bag to your wardrobe!
Hi Four Ducks! I am loving the Patterson collection too. It's such a well made collection and it feels so sturdy. You might be right about the name. I have been holding off on using it because I'm still not sold on the size. I hope you are enjoying your Emily. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Love the color combo and am a big fan of the Patterson collection (I own three of the Kendra satchel doctor bags and love the quality of the leathers used). Hope you wear it in good health and have a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones!
Hi Ivana love love your new bag!!!! I've been eyeing that tote for awhile now. You always do such great reviews. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!! 🎄🎅❤
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to Noah! He’s really growing up fast. We no longer have any toddler grandkids, ours are all teens and preteens and one is actually 21 and out on her own now. I miss the laughs and babbles and being able to cuddle with them. Thanks for including him.😊 I love your new bag, the thicker leather is so yummy. That bag is a great size I think, whether for a work bag or just your every day carry. I love big bags even though I’m retired and don’t need to lug around so much stuff. I just recently stepped outside my purse box and bought a couple of Patricia Nash bags. I made the mistake of watching a random RU-vid video and I just had to have the bag. Found it on Macy’s site, on sale and pulled the trigger. Then “accidentally” watched an HSN video and went searching for another bag at a better price. Found it at Belk’s online and it just arrived this morning. Beautiful bags but now I need to reign myself in. Good grief, really what can a retired gal do with so many bags?! Enjoyed this video, Ivana, wishing y’all a very merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Hi Valerie, thanks so much! Noah is definitely a handful. I'm sure you remember the toddler days. They are so cute and so challenging! Gosh it's been so long for me that I had forgotten. Congrats on your new Patricia Nash collection. I was actually looking at her bags at Macy's last week and she has some really beautiful pieces. I also can't fill this bag up, but I figure it will keep it more lightweight. .LOL. I hope you and your family enjoyed your Christmas. Thanks for watching and your kind comments. xoxo :)
I have been eyeing this bag! I think it’s going to be my next bag (in dandelion color). I’m not a fan of the center compartment but I love everything else about it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jayrob, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Besides the straps being a little fussy, it's a great bag. The dandelion will be so pretty for Spring and Summer. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Beautiful bag! I am really starting to like the Patterson style and the duck logo is super cute. Noah is growing up so fast, he is adorable. Happy holidays :)
Noah is so precious! I regret not having one more. Maybe some day in distant future I’ll have a grandchild. ❤️ I think that is the perfect Dooney & Bouke tote. I love the center zip pocket. The color is your color shade. So pretty goes with your skin tone and neutral clothing you normally wear. Your other tote is nice too. Keep us posted in few months how you like it with carrying your laptop.
Thanks Deb!! You never know what surprised will come in your future. :) I've been loving this bag so far, using it as an everyday bag. It's not too heavy and it's pretty comfy for shopping too. Thanks for watching! xoxo :)
Hello Noah and Rob! I love the color and the thickness of the shoulder straps. I love the fact that the strap is adjustable, I’m sure it will pass the elbow test.
Beautiful bag!😍 I love the color. I don't mind the center zip, it keeps things from shifting around the bottom of a bag. I have the Small Kendra Satchel in Red and I love the leather too, and the palladium hardware. I've been carrying a KS tote and I have to admit, I hate large bags, lol!😂 I'm definitely a smaller bag gal. I do prefer the Dooney pocket setup too. Noah is a cutie patootie!👶🥰 He's grown so much and what a bundle of energy, lol!😂 I'm tired just watching him, lol!😂 TFS. 😊
Thanks Pokk! Oh yes, Noah is definitely a bundle of energy. He doesn't ever stop! Yes, I'm finding that the bigger bags don't work as well for me for everyday. This one is just a little too big for that and a little too small for work so it's a strange in between size. I also ordered the small Kendra in red. It's such a cute little bag! I loved it, but I sent it back because i thought it looked too small for my frame. I'm glad you are liking yours. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Noah is really growing up!! I remember him being in the stroller 😍. Love the color of the bag and it’s the right size. I’m a big bag girl! Lol , so I will always say yes to big bags. Hope your enjoying her! Xoxo 😍
Hi Sha, oh my gosh time is flying and he is growing up before our eyes! He sure is a handful though. It's hard to remember what it was like when my kids were little. Or maybe it's harder now? LOL! I'm finding the straps a little fussy but at the same time they are my favorite part of the bag. The jury is still out. Thanks for watching and have a nice evening! xoxo :)
Cute bag love the color!! ❤️❤️❤️ seen a satchel similar to this must be from the same collection. Really love the straps! Hope you have a Happy New Year!!! Your co-host is Adorable💙💙💙😉
Hi Paty, Thanks so much! Yes, there are a couple totes in this collection that look similar. There is one that is a little more east west in silhouette. Thanks so much and thanks for watching! xoxo :)
Beautiful baby 💐💕❤️ and a awesome grandpa to share buddy time . And amazing bag it’s so perfect for Christmas 🎄💐💕🎄and you know any red goes beautiful with everything perfect pop of color 😍🎁❤️🌹💕🎄💐 I love your channel just love getting to see all the new dooney bags coming for the new 2019 year that will be shown off 🙋🏼♀️🌹💐💕🎄 have a Merry Christmas and amazing New Year 2019
Hi Summer Love, thank you for the very kind comment. I really appreciate it. I hope you have an amazing 2019! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Hi Ivana!!! Hi Noah sweetie!!!! He’s soo cute!!! I love your tree I see in the mirror Ivana!!!! Yesss!!! Awwwe grandad showed up!!! I am loving your new tote!!! Ivana!!! I love that deep red!!! I like that it bows out!!!! Also the red lining inside!!! I like the centerpiece I think that you made sense with using the pouches!!!! I think that the handles will eventually straighten out as you carry it!!! It looks good on you in the mode shots!!! Ooh I see what you mean about the opening when you put the laptop inside!!! I hope that it works for your work bag!!! I so loved and enjoyed your video Ivana!!! Xoxo Pam 💖💝💝💖
Hi Pam!! Awwww...thanks so much! I know you're no stranger to having the little ones around. I'm finding the straps a challenge on this bag, but I still love the look of it. I always appreciate your watching and your kind comments. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
You’re welcome! I hope you love using your beautiful Logo Lock tote. It’s really comfortable too. The rolled handles combined with it being so lightweight for Florentine make it a joy to carry. Thanks for watching and have a great week! Xoxo 🤗💕
Oh Ivana I love that bag! I recently got a bag from qvc so I'm kinda on dooney no buy till birthday in March now. If I wasn't then I would so get that bag! The size is so me. I'm not usually a center zip compartment girl but the bag I just got has one & it's not bothering me. Thank you for sharing! It sure is a pretty Christmas color! ;)
Thanks Spring! It's a good one for sure. I've been using it since I got it and loving it so far. How exciting! What bag did you get? Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas! xoxo :)
THIS was the bag that was in my cart...out of my cart...then back in....unfortunately I ended up not getting it. I didn’t know if I should get the regular size that you have, or the small. I don’t need it for work....so I was considering the small. I absolutely love that wine color... it looks so pretty on you!! It was so fun seeing Noah, I have a grandson named Noah also...he is 3. I hope you and your beautiful family have a Merry, Merry Christmas!!🎅🏼🤶🏼 ~Gina💜
Hi Gina, I always say follow your gut. it sounds like your gut was telling you this bag wasn't for you. I am finding the straps kind of fussy and a little too big for everyday, but a little too small for a work bag. Thanks for the compliments. Oh that's so cool! I bet your Noah is adorable too. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
I couldn’t keep my eyes off the cute tree behind you. Sooooo cute. Is it new? Do you light it up? Looking good kid. What are your plans for Christmas? xoxo
Hi Annie, oh I'm so late with my replies. Sorry! Thanks for the compliments on the tree. Yes, it's pretty new. I purchased it at the At Home store this season. I don't have lights on it because I don't want to knock all the pretty white flocking off of it. Thanks for the compliments. We did the usual, went over to my moms on Christmas Eve and to Rob's mom's on Christmas Day. I hope your holiday was nice too. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Love this bag! Very pretty. Not a center zip girl but you make a great point of needing it since there’s no zip top closure. I always like your videos......but Noah stole this one! He is just darling. Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much Sweetpea! Oh believe me...Noah always steals the show. My daughter says, "no on ever wants to see me anymore, they just want to see Noah.". Welcome to Motherhood..LOL! Thanks so much and thanks for watching! xoxo :)
Thanks BH! It's a great bag, but I've noticed the straps are a little fussy. Noah turned 2 on Thanksgiving. Thanks! He's a cute little handful, that's for sure. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
Thanks Mrs. Que. I told Noah you said hi at the dinner table tonight. He stopped and listened....for once...lol!! Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
That grand baby is a CUTIE !!!! Great Bag ! lovely tote, sooooo tempted ! lol....also what is the name of your " work tote" that you showed ? that is the dooney I want in 2019 ...LOVE it ! did u ever do a vid on that one ? if not please do . If you did a vid on your work tote, can you send me the link please.....
Hi, thanks so much! He's a handful. My work tote is the Florentine Logo Lock Tote in the color natural. I don't think I've featured this bag in any videos, but I did show it in a live where I unpacked some purchases. Here is the link ru-vid.com?o=U&video_id=C8H3849mxUQ. I think it's on sale for 30% off on ilovedooney.com in three colors. It's also on sale in a couple colors on Dooney.com for a little less in similar colors. You might be able to find it at an outlet for less. Just give them the, Style #: 8L0886 so they can search for your color choice. also make sure they describe the condition for you. Thanks for watching and have a great day! xoxo :)
I noticed this bag in the Gretta print and loved it. I love the print but prefer solid leathers. I just noticed this style is on ILD and I need a black tote. I was almost going to get another Micheal Kors Winston/black but I already own one in camel and I really don’t like to repeat styles. So I’m so happy you posted this, my larger iPad would fit in this bag perfectly. Thank you, your videos are always helpful. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Hi Connie, thanks and I hope you find your perfect tote. I’m sad I sold this bag. It was such a great bag. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend. Xoxo 🥰
Thanks so much! They might still be available on ILD and I think they have an additional sale. Just sayin'. lol! Thanks for watching and have a great day. xoxo :)
Thanks Cynthia! I believe I got this sweater at Charlotte Russe last winter season. Thanks for the compliment on it. Happy Holidays to you too! Thanks for watching! xoxo :)
Hi! That’s really sweet of you to say. Thanks so much. I hope to be back at some point. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for watching and have a great day. Xoxo 🤗💕
