I have both bags as well, and I can tell you the Dooney and Bourke is made with more quality than the Louis Vuitton. It surprised me myself it’s just a better constructed bag.
I have the Speedy 25, but its in the monogram canvas print. I have the exact same black Florentine satchel that you showed in your video, and I really like it. Thanks for a fun and insightful video😊
I have this D&B same color in size lrg. I have a speedy 35 in mono I like them both for different reasons. Choosing one wld be hard. I feel any bag over 200 shld have feet. Thats the one thing I hate about LV u pay all that money but get no feet. Just subbed
The way I see it, that just means it’s made of high quality, durable materials. I just lack it a bit lighter so the weight isn’t as bad on my shoulders.
Thanks for the comparison, I do love videos like this. Love both bags, but just prefer the Florentine for its looks. As for the zipper, I think you're absolutely right that the LV is more practical. Maybe you'd enjoy DB's domed buckle satchel, because it looks similar to the slouching satchels, but has a wider opening, more like the LV.
Ooohhh I am going to look into this! Dooney and Bourne has so many styles it’s hard to keep track. Thank you so much for the feedback and recommendation!
I’ve never seen the finish on Dooney Florentine hardware chipping off in chunks. They did have a bad run some years ago where it did sort of…tarnish?, but other than that not so much. I do think the hardware adds a lot to the weight, though
@@jessyandthebags After this video I am going to purchase the LV Speedy B 25. I do plan on purchasing a DB all-weather leather mini drawstring in blue. They do great colors.
I just bought my first Florentine bag in natural. I really like it! I have lots of LV bags. I treated the Florentine with the apple guard spray to protect from water marks. Thanks for the video!
Yes!!!! I had 8 large ones that I sold because I NEVER used them but kept them because they were beautiful. So much quality leather makes it so heavy. I have 2 regular ones left but if I were to get one again, I would get the mini size
