I have 3 of these. The Natural, a Navy and a Taupe. Honestly, other than the sheer beauty, quality and the timelessness of this bag. My favorite thing about this bag is the smell and the sound of the leather when you're handling it. It sounds like a high quality bag. Nothing against Louies, but they don't smell or sound like a Florentine!
That's such a pretty bag. Love when you talk about bags. You get excited and you are so passionate about them. Thank you for sharing. Have a good night sweet friend! 🥰
You are glowing 😍😍. I too love Dooney & Bourke handbags. Yes please, I would love to see more of your handbags. Your haircut cut is perfect on you. I love your sweet voice. Cheers 😉🌷
Hi Dawn, I can open my eye more today so here I am to watch your video! I love that bag, the color is beautiful! I love the tassels, the hardware and the overall structure and shape. That is wonderful that you realized your haircut is like your Grandma wore her hair. It really is a darling style on you and the layers is what gives it bounce and life. Thank you for showing your beautiful bag! Much love, Sheila
Dooney bags are the best. The really last. Don’t they? I appreciate your input on the bag collection video. I hope you are having a great week!! Love, Dawn🌼🍁☀️
I just bought this same style bag today. I’m obsessed with it. It’s so beautiful. I have the rustic red color. Beautiful, beautiful bag. Got mine at Macy’s for $250 thanks to a 40% off Christmas sale.
Very beautiful bag! Loved your thoughts about your hair and your grandmother, the protein bowl sounds amazing, I like to use paper and pen for reminders/notes as well, and the drink you purchased to enjoy while waiting at the school sounds like the perfect accompaniment! Have a beautiful Friday and joyous weekend! XOXO
Thank you Dawn. I loved this! You gave me some good ideas on the makeup you like carrying in your purse. I need that Revlon stick and the Becca lipstick is just beautiful. 💜
Dawn just got my bag and love it! It's so much lighter than my Brenna and I packed a larger umbrella, phone, 10" tablet, phone and other things and it's still lighter. I just learned how to convert the strap to a handbag and it's perfect!
Gorgeous bag...and like your hair style too. I'm surprised they had the flat bottom version 5 years ago. Love that Dooney style and your LV accessories coordinate beautifully. TFS.
Love the handbag...but I love all your handbags :) I think the green is a gorgeous accent color with the tan. Fun video in your car too! Thanks for sharing Dawn.
Thank you, Tamara! It was a pretty spur of the moment decision, but the car is always pretty well lit and makes a great filming location. I hope you are having a great week! Love, Dawn💐🌸
This is such a pretty handbag! I actually had to get one for myself lol I would Love to see your forever handbags collection of all your favorite purses. Have a Beautiful and Blessed Day 🙂
Hi BettyJo!! I hope you love your bag as much as so do mine!! Thank you so much for watching & for your feedback on my bag collection video!! Love, Dawn🥰😍
Hi Dawn, I am in love with this bag. Everything about it is gorgeous! It checks all the boxes. Good to know about the weight of their leather goods. Definitely shows quality but can also be straining on a lady with a bad back or shoulder.

I am happy to find your channel from one middle age woman to another. I love your views as you shared your items in your bag. I also practice taking out all my items from my bag so that I can rotate my small collection of handbags. My style changed that I own very small variety of coin purse, wallet/card holder and they are divided by essential and needs.
Hi Christina! I’m happy you found me too! I’m looking forward to getting to know you! I sometimes wish I could just stick with one bag, but I love having variety. Some women love shoes. I love bags! Thank you for watching & commenting!!❤️💚❤️💚🎄
@@DawnsLifeover40 I do love shoes but I can’t walk in heels very good or for a long time, but they do look better and appears to make me look slimmer. Practical is the only way I can walk with confidence, but I wish I can look good as it ruins the look of my personal style.
Hello Dawn. That is so sweet with your hair reminding you of your beloved Noni & I'm so happy you got that "lightbulb" moment to realize why you love it so much! Such a great use of time waiting for your sons school to let out & filming a great video for us. 😎 It's always impressive to hear all the extra care you give your bags, I'm not as good with that. That natural leather color is one of my faves & I would love to see your permanent collection of bags! I've never heard of Huga, or however you spell that, but it sounds quite interesting. Hope you got your car back all nice & ready to go. They love to tempt you with those fun new car loaners while yours is being worked on...hehe. Hugs. xo 🥰🍁🌺🌞
Hi Mindy! Yes! They do try to tempt us with the loaner car!! It works too! I had a van a few years ago. I had it worked on and went back to trade in my an for a crossover SUV!! Lol!! It was time. My kiddos are old older now. Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope you are enjoying the end of your week! Love, Dawn💛🤎🧡
I just bought the large fuchsia. I also have one in the chocolate too. But I just love the this style. I've been a Dooney girl for years. Thanks for sharing. 😊

I have used saddle soap/conditioner on my leather bags ( except Louis Vuitton) and shoes for years. I was told by a shoe salesman that it would prolong their life. Usually, I will do the purses once a year or every two years. The shoes are usually done at the start of fall and end of winter. Your purse contents remind me of my purse prior to Covid. Now it’s just the minimal amount. I would love to see your permanent purse collection. Purses bring us joy.

Hi Dawn, thank you for sharing this video. The Florentine satchel is so beautiful and I’ve had my eye on them for years. Unfortunately Dooney do not have a sales presence in the UK but whenever I’m in the States I always head towards Macy’s for them. The vachetta leather looks amazing and really suits your colour scheme. Thank you again 🌺🌸🌺🌸
Thank you so much for watching Della!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I love the Dooney Vachetta leather. I hope you find one on your trips to the states. Have a wonderful day 🥰🌸
I ran across one of your videos on how to clean a Dooney Bourke bag, when I saw the Florentine bag I just had to have one, follow your adviced and found one on Poshmark it looks brand new, I don't think they ever used it. the shoulder strap still has the plastic around it. Thank you for the tutorials.
Hi Dawn, watching all the Dooney Florentine satchel vids as just bought one from Depop Australia and she’s AMAZING! So hard to get here in NZ. It’s already worn in and slouchy, condition is great and has patina but she’s sooo lovely and like you, will be forever in my collection! ❤️🇳🇿
I have that same size bag and color and it was the deal of a lifetime! I found it at an antique store for $100! I love Dooney and Bourke Florentine leather.
I got the mini Florentine on eBay years ago, it was close to 100.00 but I loved the style so much, I splurged. It really doesn’t hold much at all but it’s so pretty.
I love this bag 😍. I do clean mine out everyday 👏🏻. . It’s right up my alley. If it turns out the earrings caused the rash... coat them in clear nail polish 😉. I enjoyed hanging out with u in your car 🤗. 😘💗💗💗
Hi Dawn! I enjoyed your handbag video! I love the color of your handbag! You have a lot of things in your cosmetic bag. I love your Becca lipstick it’s very pretty on you. I would like to see a video on that word you said with the scented candles and how it makes you feel. I’ve never heard that word before. Have a blessed day!
Hi Rebecca!! Thank you so much for watching & for your input on a Hygge video!! I’ll start planning it!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Much love Dawn🤎🧡💛🍁
Hi Dawn! Your haircut is cute! My friends mom years ago had your haircut and her hair was a darker red. I love the handbag & want another color...lol. God bless..:)
Hi girlfriend!!! Beautiful purse it’s always so exciting to see what women have in their purses. We all have the same stuff . Funny!!! Your hair really suits you and your face is so beautiful . I never want your videos to end . See u soon !!!!
I very luckily found the same bag in large that is a beautiful burgandy leather with certificate and dust bag for $75 because the buyer had back problems and said it was just too heavy for her. I wish it had a long strap but it is 100% a permanent collection bag!!! 💛 great review!! Your hair is beautiful!!!
Hi Patricia!! Thank you for watching & for the kind words. Wow!!! The burgundy is beautiful!! And you definitely can’t beat that price. If you need a strap you could check Poshmark, Etsy or EBay. I’ve purchased “parts” for my bags in the past and have had good luck finding them. I hope you are having a wonderful week!! 🤎🧡🍁
The dooney and Burke bags lasts forever. I have 3 which I had for 8 years. Love their bags. They still look great. I condition mines too. I have one in the natural too. 🤗
Thank you so much for watching! Dooney & Bourke needs more love on CZcams. Best quality bags out there in my opinion. I’ll take full leather over LV canvas anyday.
wow! You and the florentine bag are absolutely stunning! I recently missed out on purchasing the Fuschia color! I have the red, elephant, and slate. Dooney list the color: red as bright and it me the color red of florentine is more for fall, it was not a bright red! :( Sorry, off-topic, love the bag. I am going to have to get it!
I just bought my first Dooney all-weather leather satchel bag today at my local thrift store! I didn’t know this brand before I found my bag, but I’ve been scouring the internet off since I’ve found out about this niche community!
I love Dooney handbags. I had my eye on the purse you have, but the type of leather is holding me back. It's so beautiful, but I feel like I would be too afraid to use it. Yours still looks beautiful. Could you possibly do a video to show how you condition it when you first get it and what you do to keep it looking so new and nice? ❤️
Hi jacquelyn!! I’ll absolutely do a video sharing what I do. I have had so many questions like yours, so many ladies are afraid of the leather. You don’t need to be. I’ll try to get it up next week and I’ll walk you through the care! Thank you for watching and suggesting a video! Take good care!! Love, Dawn💚❤️💚❤️
Love your bag and as always you explain well I so love your passion Your hair is beautiful your nana must have been a beautiful lady, I own one Dooney love it. redo the video and yes I know Hygge I think that the spelling t it takes place on 13 Dec during the Lucia festival. yes, talk about it. I think it means cozy happiness lights. Love you good night Hugs my Dawnie
Hi Tessa!! Thank you for watching, and as always, for the kind words that make me smile!!😊😊😊. I had no idea Hygge was a celebration, but that makes sense!! I love that there is a name and celebration for the feeling of comfort! I hope you have a blessed day sweet Tessa!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your video was recommended to me because I’m a big Dooney and Bourke fan. I’m really glad I found it. I love your enthusiasm about the bag and life in general. Also love your makeup tips. Count me in as a subscriber!
Thank you so much for watching & taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate the kind words. I’m looking forward to getting to know you!! Have a wonderful day! Love, Dawn
A beautiful bag for a beautiful woman! Thanks for sharing! Planning to get this color but ugh 😩 there’s so many colors I don’t know what color to get! I really don’t want a high maintenance bag right now and I’m worried scratches would be very visible if I’ll get that bag in natural. How is that color working for you? I love it and it looks gorgeous by the way!
Hi Kat, This color works great for me. Not high maintenance at all. It just looks better over time. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!🌾🍁🤎
I really like that bag in that color but I have a black Badgley Mischka bag that’s so similar that I wonder if I should get it 🤦♀️ I like carrying it in Fall/Winter. I love it and think I’ll love this one too 🤩
I bought this same one in medium in chocolate. The medium is like a large. Got it on eBay for $200.00! I LOVE it. Heavy as the dickens. Mine had a pen stain inside on the green suede, but I was able to get it out with an Emory board! I knew you were from the Midwest based on your voice. My family is from Chitown!
Hi Jean!! It is heavy as the dickens!! Lol!! All that thick leather and hardware. Using the Emory board is a great tip! I wouldn’t have thought of that!! Thank you for sharing!!! What accent?? Lol!! I’m a born and raised Chicago girl. Thank you so much for watching & commenting!!🧡🌻🤎

@@DawnsLifeover40 ha! My late mom, dad, and sister ( all late ) and my brother were all born in Chicago. I was born in Manhattan. I love these Florentine styles. Years ago I saw them at Macy's. Probably real brass back then. Now Macy's no longer sells them.
Tnx ,i enjoyed every bit of this video,pls can you explain more about conditioning the bag.i love the bag so much but feel i can't maintain the colour.pls what do i need for the conditioning the bag pls.thank you
Dawn, you are so beautiful and feminine I am a registered nurse to, and I want to dress feminine and classy and I love your approach. I enjoy listening to you. Thank you so much.
Wow I just came across your channel because I’ve always loved this bag which always looks good on other people! Your hair and eye color is gorgeous! #newsubbie👍🏾 BTW I have a what’s in my (Speedy 25) bag video on my channel as well!
Hi Tamara! I do carry it as a crossbody occasionally, but it is a heavier bag due to the thick high quality leather. I usually use it as a hand held. I think you will still love the bag though!! i hope this helps🧡💜
I really like the bag and yes you should update the black honey video! Also random question since you mentioned you live near Chicago. My husband and I are visiting soon and we can't decide which deep dish pizza place to try, do you have a favorite??
Hi Caroline!! Yes!! Go to Lou Malnatti’s www.loumalnatis.com/?msclkid=cef1f59f72d515c26931aa0f90a5a10f&Chicagoland%20%3E%20IL&LM%20%3E%20Brand%20%3E%20Chicago%20%3E%20Lou%20Malnati%27s Here’s a link to the website. UNO’s is also very popular!! I hope you have a wonderful trip!!
Hi Kris!! Thank you so much for watching & for the kind words. The lipstick I’m wearing in this video is from Becca and the shade is Dune. I love it!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! Love, Dawn❤️🌹
Hi Jocelyn! Thank you for watching. I use Otter OilOtter Wax Leather Oil | 5oz | All-Natural Universal Polish & Conditioner | Made in USA www.amazon.com/dp/B005PS4XQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_aZ3dGbWDRD0BA On my bag. If you prefer a cream product Apple leather Conditioner is great! It’s also available on Amazon! I hope you like it if you try it!
I love the color and shape of this handbag. So beautiful! Love love love handbags. I do have to throw out my wallet and transfer into a new one soon. My poor wallet is embarrassing to pull out. I definitely have to purchase the bag oil. I have a beautiful leather backpack I purchased in Italy and I noticed the bag has a very dark spot on the outer flap from being packed away. Possibly it was damp on that flap when I put it away. I really hope it is not ruined. Either way spot or not I love that backpack and it brings back great memories. This was a fun video! Hot dog 🌭 restaurant sounds yummy. Have a great week Dawn. 😎❤️💄Kathy😷🎃 Dawn when you get a moment can you tell me the 2 leather cleaners/conditioners you use. Thanks 😊
Hi Kathy!! Thank you so much!! You might be able to diminish the water spot. I love Apple Leather conditioner and Otter leather oil. The Otter range has leather salve too that is very nice and helpful for rubbing out deeper scratches. I hope you like them if you try them!! Have a wonderful weekend Kathy!! Love, Dawn🧡🤎💛
Dawn do you know what kind of leather the crossbody strap is on the florentine satchel? I got the bag but I was just wondering. I conditioned it with Apple. Thank you, Karen
Hi Karen! My strap seems to be the same Florentine leather as the purse. It’s like a belt in terms of durability. The Apple brand leather products are great! I really like them as well. I appreciate you watching! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!❤️
I've got my natural coming in a few days and it's from Ebay. Can you give me the name of the apple product you talk about? Get it on Amazon? I love also my Brenna and I've had mine for 5 yrs and still looks brand new. Thank you, Dawn!
Hi Faith! Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy your bag!! The Brenna is a beautiful bag too! Here are the Apple products that I use on my bags amzn.to/3bvTz3D Have a wonderful day 💚☘️☀️
Hey, beautiful lady. Would you say this is heavier than the Brenna bag? I ordered the cleaner and conditioner you recommended today through Amazon. Bag is coming Saturday. Found it's 2 yrs old. Does the leather still smell or will it be faded, since you have yours for 5 yrs you mentioned?
I have 3 of these. The Natural, a Navy and a Taupe. Honestly, other than the sheer beauty, quality and the timelessness of this bag. My favorite thing about this bag is the smell and the sound of the leather when you're handling it. It sounds like a high quality bag. Nothing against Louies, but they don't smell or sound like a Florentine!
Exactly and that’s because those with the logo are coated canvas and NOT real leather! LOVE MY LEATHER!
That's such a pretty bag. Love when you talk about bags. You get excited and you are so passionate about them. Thank you for sharing. Have a good night sweet friend! 🥰

Hi Dawn, thank you for sharing this video. The Florentine satchel is so beautiful and I’ve had my eye on them for years.
Unfortunately Dooney do not have a sales presence in the UK but whenever I’m in the States I always head towards Macy’s for them. The vachetta leather looks amazing and really suits your colour scheme.
Thank you again 🌺🌸🌺🌸
Thank you so much for watching Della!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I love the Dooney Vachetta leather. I hope you find one on your trips to the states. Have a wonderful day 🥰🌸
Christmas Sale I got two!!!!!! I got the medium in natural and the nano in blk I am so excited!!!!!!
I ran across one of your videos on how to clean a Dooney Bourke bag, when I saw the Florentine bag I just had to have one, follow your adviced and found one on Poshmark it looks brand new, I don't think they ever used it. the shoulder strap still has the plastic around it.
Thank you for the tutorials.
I’m so glad you found it on Poshmark!! I’ve purchased a few bags there myself! I hope your bag lasts a very long time!!! 🌷🌈❤️
Hi Dawn, watching all the Dooney Florentine satchel vids as just bought one from Depop Australia and she’s AMAZING! So hard to get here in NZ. It’s already worn in and slouchy, condition is great and has patina but she’s sooo lovely and like you, will be forever in my collection! ❤️🇳🇿
I’m so glad you found one that you love!! It will get better with time! Enjoy your new bag!!!
Omggg you’re overwhelming gorgeous 😍😍
I have that same size bag and color and it was the deal of a lifetime! I found it at an antique store for $100! I love Dooney and Bourke Florentine leather.
What a great deal!!! Second hand is the way to go!!! I hope you enjoy it for many years.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Love,
Dawn😘🥰
@@DawnsLifeover40 thank you! I think I’ve had her now about 3 years! I also have a mini and micro in black. I love Dooney leather.
HI Dawn! I so enjoyed seeing your D and B purse and the contents! Have a great week! -xoxo
You too, Teresa!! Thank you so much sweet friend!!💛🧡🤎
Love.the bag dawn.
I got the mini Florentine on eBay years ago, it was close to 100.00 but I loved the style so much, I splurged. It really doesn’t hold much at all but it’s so pretty.
It really is a beautiful bag!! The mini’s are really cute!!! Thank you for watching!!
Wanting to have a Dooney . Thank you for what you do. Love your site
Hi Sandra!
Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate the kind words!!
Love,
Dawn
Have ordered a small Florentine bag from Ilovedooney site. It is back ordered so I hope I get the color I ordered. BTW your wallet looks like mine 😍😍😍
I love this bag 😍. I do clean mine out everyday 👏🏻. . It’s right up my alley. If it turns out the earrings caused the rash... coat them in clear nail polish 😉. I enjoyed hanging out with u in your car 🤗. 😘💗💗💗
Great tip about the clear polish!!! Thank you!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!! Talk soon!
Hi Dawn! I enjoyed your handbag video! I love the color of your handbag! You have a lot of things in your cosmetic bag. I love your Becca lipstick it’s very pretty on you. I would like to see a video on that word you said with the scented candles and how it makes you feel. I’ve never heard that word before. Have a blessed day!
Hi Rebecca!! Thank you so much for watching & for your input on a Hygge video!! I’ll start planning it!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Much love
Dawn🤎🧡💛🍁
Hi Dawn! Your haircut is cute! My friends mom years ago had your haircut and her hair was a darker red. I love the handbag & want another color...lol. God bless..:)
Hi girlfriend!!! Beautiful purse it’s always so exciting to see what women have in their purses. We all have the same stuff . Funny!!! Your hair really suits you and your face is so beautiful . I never want your videos to end . See u soon !!!!
Thank you!! I love seeing in other woman’s purses too! I get great ideas! We do all have the same things!
Have a great day sweet friend🥰🌸💐
I very luckily found the same bag in large that is a beautiful burgandy leather with certificate and dust bag for $75 because the buyer had back problems and said it was just too heavy for her. I wish it had a long strap but it is 100% a permanent collection bag!!! 💛 great review!! Your hair is beautiful!!!
Hi Patricia!!
Thank you for watching & for the kind words. Wow!!! The burgundy is beautiful!! And you definitely can’t beat that price. If you need a strap you could check Poshmark, Etsy or EBay. I’ve purchased “parts” for my bags in the past and have had good luck finding them.
I hope you are having a wonderful week!!
🤎🧡🍁
@@DawnsLifeover40 really?? I didn't know that was possible!! Thank you!! Such a great tip!!! I will check now!! 💛 Have a beautiful day!!
Love Portillos! I live in the Aurora/Naperville area!!!!!!! Thanks for the video!!
We are neighbors!! I live in Saint Charles!! Portillo’s is so good! And Lou Malnatti’s pizza!!!
@@DawnsLifeover40 i grew up in Glen Ellyn! I love St Charles!! I get Lou Malnatis every birthday and some other times too!! So good!
@@DawnsLifeover40 We have a Portillos but I never tried it. NOW I must head there next week for the protein bowl. Sounds SO good!!
I love the bag and you look very beautiful
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and the kind words ☀️🌷
I love Dooney bags and also Coach. I thought all of your video ideas sounded great.
Thank you, Cece!! I appreciate your feedback! I hope you are having a lovely evening!!
🧡🤎💛
👍
Yes, please do a Black Honey video. 😊
Will do!! Thank you for watching!!!
💛🤎🧡
I really loved your video and have dooneys aswell. I would love to know which oil/ conditioner you use right when you get the bag?
Love your video n your gorgeous bag. Can't wait to get mine. You look n sound like such a sweet lady. 😊
Hi Diana!!
Thank you!! I appreciate you watching, and your kind words!! You will love your purse. It just looks better with time!!!💜
The dooney and Burke bags lasts forever. I have 3 which I had for 8 years. Love their bags. They still look great. I condition mines too. I have one in the natural too. 🤗
Yes. Dooney and Burke do lasts longer than LV items. Dooney and Burke wear and tear is impeccable. 🤗
Thank you so much for watching! Dooney & Bourke needs more love on CZcams. Best quality bags out there in my opinion. I’ll take full leather over LV canvas anyday.
wow! You and the florentine bag are absolutely stunning! I recently missed out on purchasing the Fuschia color! I have the red, elephant, and
slate. Dooney list the color: red as bright and it me the color red of florentine is more for fall, it was not a bright red! :( Sorry, off-topic, love the bag. I am going to have to get it!
I just bought my first Dooney all-weather leather satchel bag today at my local thrift store! I didn’t know this brand before I found my bag, but I’ve been scouring the internet off since I’ve found out about this niche community!
That’s a great thrift store find!!!! It will last for years and look better with time! Enjoy!!!
@@DawnsLifeover40 I’m feel really lucky finding it, thank you!
I have the bigger size and I love it sooo much!!!
It’s a great bag!!! Thank you so much for watching & commenting. It means a lot to me.
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Dawn🍁🌼
I love my Dooney and Burke purses I have about ten bags all different colors and styles will have them forever money well spent. 👍🌈🙏🦋🙋♀️🐾😻🎃👻
Yes! It is money well spent. You’ll never wear your bags out!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend 💛🧡🤎
❤
💗💗💗💗
I love Dooney handbags. I had my eye on the purse you have, but the type of leather is holding me back. It's so beautiful, but I feel like I would be too afraid to use it. Yours still looks beautiful. Could you possibly do a video to show how you condition it when you first get it and what you do to keep it looking so new and nice? ❤️
Hi jacquelyn!!
I’ll absolutely do a video sharing what I do. I have had so many questions like yours, so many ladies are afraid of the leather. You don’t need to be. I’ll try to get it up next week and I’ll walk you through the care!
Thank you for watching and suggesting a video!
Take good care!!
Love,
Dawn💚❤️💚❤️
@@DawnsLifeover40 that would be wonderful! Thank you!
Love your bag and as always you explain well I so love your passion Your hair is beautiful your nana must have been a beautiful lady, I own one Dooney love it. redo the video and yes I know Hygge I think that the spelling t it takes place on 13 Dec during the Lucia festival. yes, talk about it. I think it means cozy happiness lights. Love you good night Hugs my Dawnie
Hi Tessa!!
Thank you for watching, and as always, for the kind words that make me smile!!😊😊😊. I had no idea Hygge was a celebration, but that makes sense!! I love that there is a name and celebration for the feeling of comfort!
I hope you have a blessed day sweet Tessa!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
There's also a micro and a nano size 😊
You are absolutely gorgeous
Thank you Janice!! I appreciate your kind words!! Happy New Year!!!🎊
So cute! What price did you get this for? I’m wondering when to buy it and what’s the steepest discount.
Your video was recommended to me because I’m a big Dooney and Bourke fan. I’m really glad I found it. I love your enthusiasm about the bag and life in general. Also love your makeup tips. Count me in as a subscriber!
Thank you so much for watching & taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate the kind words. I’m looking forward to getting to know you!! Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Dawn
A beautiful bag for a beautiful woman! Thanks for sharing! Planning to get this color but ugh 😩 there’s so many colors I don’t know what color to get! I really don’t want a high maintenance bag right now and I’m worried scratches would be very visible if I’ll get that bag in natural. How is that color working for you? I love it and it looks gorgeous by the way!
Hi Kat,
This color works great for me. Not high maintenance at all. It just looks better over time. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!🌾🍁🤎
I really like that bag in that color but I have a black Badgley Mischka bag that’s so similar that I wonder if I should get it 🤦♀️ I like carrying it in Fall/Winter. I love it and think I’ll love this one too 🤩
It’s so tempting to get a bag similar to another one we love. That happens to me too!!
Badgley Mischka bags are lovely!!
I bought this same one in medium in chocolate. The medium is like a large. Got it on eBay for $200.00! I LOVE it. Heavy as the dickens.
Mine had a pen stain inside on the green suede, but I was able to get it out with an Emory board!
I knew you were from the Midwest based on your voice. My family is from Chitown!
Hi Jean!! It is heavy as the dickens!! Lol!! All that thick leather and hardware. Using the Emory board is a great tip! I wouldn’t have thought of that!! Thank you for sharing!!! What accent?? Lol!! I’m a born and raised Chicago girl.
Thank you so much for watching & commenting!!🧡🌻🤎

@@DawnsLifeover40 ha! My late mom, dad, and sister ( all late ) and my brother were all born in Chicago. I was born in Manhattan.
I love these Florentine styles. Years ago I saw them at Macy's. Probably real brass back then. Now Macy's no longer sells them.
Tnx ,i enjoyed every bit of this video,pls can you explain more about conditioning the bag.i love the bag so much but feel i can't maintain the colour.pls what do i need for the conditioning the bag pls.thank you
Hi There! Thank you so much for watching. Here are the leather cleaner & conditioner I like to use on this bagamzn.to/3jHk5Ld. I hope this helps!!
Dawn, you are so beautiful and feminine I am a registered nurse to, and I want to dress feminine and classy and I love your approach. I enjoy listening to you. Thank you so much.
Hi Amy! Thank you so much for the kind words. They mean a lot to me. I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!!☃️❄️
Wow I just came across your channel because I’ve always loved this bag which always looks good on other people! Your hair and eye color is gorgeous! #newsubbie👍🏾
BTW I have a what’s in my (Speedy 25) bag video on my channel as well!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!!
Thank you for your review, beautiful. What did you say you cleaned your bag with?
Gorgeous bag! Color is everything. Do you carry it crossbody if so, is it heavy? I’m looking to purchase one this week.
Hi Tamara! I do carry it as a crossbody occasionally, but it is a heavier bag due to the thick high quality leather. I usually use it as a hand held. I think you will still love the bag though!! i hope this helps🧡💜
That bag is 5 yrs old!!! Beautiful
Thank you!! I take good care of it! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Happy New Year!!!🎊
I really like the bag and yes you should update the black honey video! Also random question since you mentioned you live near Chicago. My husband and I are visiting soon and we can't decide which deep dish pizza place to try, do you have a favorite??
Hi Caroline!! Yes!! Go to Lou Malnatti’s www.loumalnatis.com/?msclkid=cef1f59f72d515c26931aa0f90a5a10f&Chicagoland%20%3E%20IL&LM%20%3E%20Brand%20%3E%20Chicago%20%3E%20Lou%20Malnati%27s
Here’s a link to the website. UNO’s is also very popular!! I hope you have a wonderful trip!!
@@DawnsLifeover40 We love Lou Malnatis too!!!
You are delightful to watch. I enjoyed your video!!! I really like the lipstick you’re wearing in this video. You mention it; what is it again?
Hi Kris!!
Thank you so much for watching & for the kind words. The lipstick I’m wearing in this video is from Becca and the shade is Dune. I love it!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Love,
Dawn❤️🌹
Hi! Great video! I was wondering if you could let us know what saddle oil product it is that you use on the bag? Thank you!
Hi Jocelyn! Thank you for watching. I use Otter OilOtter Wax Leather Oil | 5oz | All-Natural Universal Polish & Conditioner | Made in USA www.amazon.com/dp/B005PS4XQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_aZ3dGbWDRD0BA
On my bag. If you prefer a cream product Apple leather Conditioner is great! It’s also available on Amazon!
I hope you like it if you try it!
I love the color and shape of this handbag. So beautiful! Love love love handbags. I do have to throw out my wallet and transfer into a new one soon. My poor wallet is embarrassing to pull out.
I definitely have to purchase the bag oil. I have a beautiful leather backpack I purchased in Italy and I noticed the bag has a very dark spot on the outer flap from being packed away. Possibly it was damp on that flap when I put it away. I really hope it is not ruined. Either way spot or not I love that backpack and it brings back great memories.
This was a fun video!
Hot dog 🌭 restaurant sounds yummy.
Have a great week Dawn.
😎❤️💄Kathy😷🎃
Dawn when you get a moment can you tell me the 2 leather cleaners/conditioners you use. Thanks 😊
Hi Kathy!!
Thank you so much!! You might be able to diminish the water spot. I love Apple Leather conditioner and Otter leather oil. The Otter range has leather salve too that is very nice and helpful for rubbing out deeper scratches.
I hope you like them if you try them!!
Have a wonderful weekend Kathy!!
Love,
Dawn🧡🤎💛
Dawn's Life, over 40
Thank you for the information Dawn.
I just ordered this bag! I have the medium but it’s just a tad too big.
Hi Kym!! I love this beautiful bag. It’s a tad large for me too.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I appreciate you watching & commenting!!💕💗
Dawn do you know what kind of leather the crossbody strap is on the florentine satchel? I got the bag but I was just wondering. I conditioned it with Apple. Thank you, Karen
Hi Karen!
My strap seems to be the same Florentine leather as the purse. It’s like a belt in terms of durability. The Apple brand leather products are great! I really like them as well. I appreciate you watching!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!❤️
I've got my natural coming in a few days and it's from Ebay. Can you give me the name of the apple product you talk about? Get it on Amazon? I love also my Brenna and I've had mine for 5 yrs and still looks brand new. Thank you, Dawn!
Hi Faith!
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy your bag!! The Brenna is a beautiful bag too! Here are the Apple products that I use on my bags amzn.to/3bvTz3D
Have a wonderful day 💚☘️☀️
I have that same ring...no idea where I got it. LOL
Been eyeing that purse and eventually will get one, thanks for the info. Let us know where you sell?
Thank you for watching!! I sell on FB Marketplace, but will hopefully start a Poshmark store soon!!
Hey, beautiful lady. Would you say this is heavier than the Brenna bag? I ordered the cleaner and conditioner you recommended today through Amazon. Bag is coming Saturday. Found it's 2 yrs old. Does the leather still smell or will it be faded, since you have yours for 5 yrs you mentioned?
I think the Brenna is heavier. Mine doesn’t have a strong odor. The leather smell should fade with use. I hope you like the leather products!!
It actually comes in 5 sizes now... Medium, small, mini, micro and nano sizes
