Hi Daniela! ❤️. I’m new to Dooney! I know it was a first brand to many but it was always too heavy for me. These are lighter than the older bags. It’s just such a classic style!
Yay!! You got a Dooney! The quality of their bag is amazing. Your bag is beautiful. I don’t put more in my larger bags just cause it’s bigger. I don’t like heavy bags. I struggle if it’s heavy. Even if I carry a bigger
Hi Deleen! 🥰. These are great quality! I love this bag! I don’t have good hand strength because of my RA and it hurts my joints if I have anything heavy on my shoulder. I do need to keep this light! But I love it!
Happy New Year, Dawn! I’m so nostalgic looking at you open a Dooney & Bourke bag! That was my first ever “nicer” bag, and I still have it because it was a gift. Their bags are so high quality and wear like iron! They last and last! In addition to that one, I have purchased a D&B hobo and a messenger style bag in their Florentine leather (which is gorgeous). I also have a cute little plaid mini dome bag that I got for my Grandma many years ago … when she passed, it came back to me. I have so much love for this brand! I would love a barrel bag comparison video. I got my bestie the larger Rowan bag for Christmas and now I really want one myself, despite owning several Speedy bags, haha! This is my favorite style! Enjoy hanging lots of charms off this one, hehe! ❤
@@redyredred6487 Thank you! 🥰. I’m late to the game with Dooney! I really love this style, it’s so classic and the price could not be beat! I need to get a Rowan, I never bought one of those either! I love my Speedy, they still work best because they are the lightest, but this one is ok for me. I will do a comparison! It should be interesting!
You consistently choose great bags - I don't recall a single one I didn't like. Super functional (I'm getting annoyed with my mini bags), good looking, classic, crossbody option, perfect color, excellent work bag - another winner!
Barrel satchels are so comfortable, and I always overlook mine! I may just get another one during the sale .. maybe caramel or a dark brown.. Would love to see a comparison video, for sure!
This is one beautiful bag! The LV speedy is my favorite style bag- I haven’t don’t a D&B bag in many years but love their quality! 😊 I would definitely like to see comparisons between fashion houses. TFS
Hi Dawn, Thank you for sharing your beautiful new bag! I love Dooney. I think they are great quality and value. A comparison video would be awesome!!! 😊
Hi Dawn, great start of 2025....❤, love the bag. The opening is great and I love the color you got😊. Hugs for Henry and you. Stay safe and away from those freezing temp.
Love the new bag! I’m actually pretty surprised! It’s a gorgeous color. I would love a comparison of your barrel bags! I love my speedys but really don’t want to drop any more LV money this year lol
@@Jorgelinas.Journey I love this bag! 🥰. The quality is great! I feel you on not wanting to spend more. I just think this is a beautiful and classic bag, and you can’t beat the price!
I saw that one, it’s gorgeous, congrats!!! ❤️. That will be awesome during the summer, it’s so neutral. I found this in the regular Dooney site, only three colors were on sale. I never saw this style list so low!
Hi Dawn, It’s beautiful! I love the color with the tan trim. It’s nice that Dooney beefed up the strap. I have a small barrel satchel in black black. I love it. TFS and enjoy! 🥰
Yes, I'd love to see a video of your barrel bags. I have my Rowan, but that's the only one I have. The Rowan has surprised me in that the quality is better than I'd anticipated. Like you, I love that the zippers come down further on the bag making it easier to see inside your bag. Enjoy! Was it a comfortable carry to work today?
This is made like the Rowan(which I don’t have!) because the zipper goes down the sides. This held everything I needed for work. It’s ok crossbody, but I would need to keep it lighter for hand carry.
Beautiful bag, Dawn!! Congrats🥰!! Doesn't look too big at all!! Yes, I'd like to see a video that compares barrel bags by different brands! Thanks!!🥰🥰🥰
We are twinning but I got the brown tomorrow. You got a better deal than I did. 😢 and I agree it was a much lighter weight leather thanks for sharing 👛🛍️🙏🦆🚢
Love that style bag, definitely one of my favs. 💙 Dooney is so underrated! It should be as popular as Coach. I think a Dooney would outlive a Coach in my opinion. 🥰
Hi Laurie! 🥰. Dooney people are obsessed! That’s been my observation! I think if it were sold at more retail locations now it would be. I’m not sure why it isn’t. When they were first sold in department stores they were behind glass.
OMG, Dawn, I just wrote to Ed that it's the season of the Barrel Bag! We're all buying it right now! Yours is phenomenal, especially for the price!!!🎉I bought the small Dooney pebble leather barrel on I Love Dooney for $99.00 (Speedy 20 size) in taupe.❤❤❤I've always avoided I Love Dooney but this year the prices were so crazy good, I got 3 bags, the Barrel, a florentine red Katie & a croco Janine in tmoro brown, all perfect. I love my barrel bag SO much I'm now obsessed with that silhouette. Enjoy your gorgeous bag!🥰🤗🌻PS: Yes, barrel bags video, please!❤
@@lindap7719 I would like a smaller one, too! 🥰. That brown shade is so good! I know the Florentine bags are very nice but that might be too heavy. I would have to get a small one. These are great quality!
I can't carry heavy bags anymore. Florentine bags are lighter now. I had shoulder surgery so I can't get bags over 1.5 pounds empty & I have to avoid "excessive" contents.
@dawnlovescouture2644 I don't have a new one i have an older one, the older ones are heavier, and that price, it was everything for me to not buy it, I kept saying you have it,.
Hi Dawn👋. I love the shape of a barrel bag and in my opinion you can never go wrong with the rolled handles. Question, you said she reminds you of the Coach Rowan but not in quality. Can you explain a bit more for me what the differences are?🥰🌻🌺🌸✌️
Hi Jennifer! 🥰. I don’t remember saying there was a difference in quality. I think they are the same. The Dooney might have slightly thicker leather but both use good leather and they zip down the sides. I don’t have a Rowan but I will show my other barrel bags in a video.
Hi Dawn that is a nice bag. I wonder why DB went with the metal plate branding over the leather duck patch. I have a Annalise (older version of the Annalisa lock) in all weather leather and the branding is debossed DB in the corner. I was gifted in around 2007. The leather is awesome but the bag is now a little heavy. I used to have the large Florentine satchel but gave her away because of the weight. Beautiful but just too heavy.
Hi Bea! 🥰. This is pebbled but not all weather leather. The all weather leather still has the duck! That’s next on my list. I have stayed away from Dooney because they have always been heavy. This one is manageable. Not too heavy and the crossbody strap is comfortable. I think all of the older bags were a lot heavier. I know I could never do the large Florentine! They are solid!
Thank you! 🥰. The weight has held me back. These are classic styles and there are some I really like but I’ve held back on for years because of the weight.
Sorry to disappoint! I’m not interested in the Murakami. I preordered one item from the original launch in 2005, a Ludlow coin purse, rarely used it, and eventually sold it. It’s pretty but not for me.
Surprised??? I love this bag! Took her to work today!
🎉🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉FANTASTIC bag sweet Dawn!!! Wow, looks so beautiful in that color way as well! ❤
Thank you! 🥰. It’s finally been cold enough for heavy sweaters! I need to pull more out!
Would love to see a barrel style comparison video! Enjoy your new bag!
Thanks! ❤️. Will do!
Hi Dawn! I like your new bag. The color is great. Dooney & Bourke was the first designer brand I ever bought. It started my love of designer handbags.
Hi Daniela! ❤️. I’m new to Dooney! I know it was a first brand to many but it was always too heavy for me. These are lighter than the older bags. It’s just such a classic style!

Hi Dawn, what a great bag! And the color is FAB!! Great pick!!Sending wishes for a happy, healthy 2025!!❤
Thanks Jenny! ❤️. Wishing you the same! 💕
What a pretty and classy bag Dawn! Congrats! 2024 was a bad year for me health wise and so many other problems and 2025 is off to a bad start.
Thank you! 🥰. I’m so sorry to hear that! 😢. I hope things get better. I keep hoping they will.

Dawn, I have been a Dooney buyer for years and always loved them! My favorite is the small Lexington tote! Stay well.💜
Hi Maryann! 🥰. I can see why! They are excellent quality! There’s a few more styles I want to add!
First off, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sweater!!! Second, what a great bag!!! I love the treated leather, so pretty. :-)
@@jamesjamm Thanks Jame! 🥰. The sweater came from Target a few years ago! It’s cold enough to wear it! 😊. I’m loving the bag!
I love Dooney and Bourke handbags. Your bag is so pretty.
My first bag of 2025 was the Coach Rowan, and I really like it.😊
@@rosieschweebie Thank you! 🥰. The Rowan is a great bag! I love it but I don’t have one, but it’s about time I did!
Hi Dawn,
Happy New Year!
What a beautiful bag.
A video comparison of barrel bags from different brands is a great idea.
TFS and have a good night. 🙏❤️
Thanks, will do! ❤️

Thanks Amy! ❤️. I can say it’s a great work bag - I used it today and will use it tomorrow!

Ooooh Caramel!!! 🥰. That’s next on my list!!! I still do want the All Weather Leather version!
I love Dooney! It was my gateway brand and still has my heart. Gorgeous classic bag.
Thank you Sandy! 🥰. I had three other Dooneys that I sold for various reasons, but this one isn’t going anywhere!
Such a beautiful rich color!! Don’t usually go for dooney but love the barrel shape
I don’t either, mainly because they tend to be heavy, but there are some that I love! Can’t beat a classic shape! ❤
I would love to see a comparison! My Speedy B 25 does have a zip interior pocket
@@sharon2USA Yes, but the original has a pocket trimmed in vachetta without a zipper. I will do a comparison! 🥰
@ YES! I recently replaced the one I purchased in the 90’s.. best bag ever!
@ I am looking to add an Ebene and an Azur. 😊

@YotaStyle This leather is great, much softer and just the right width, Much better!
She is a beauty...I worry about db weight like you do.
Thank you! 🥰. The weight has held me back. These are classic styles and there are some I really like but I’ve held back on for years because of the weight.
