I love the vintage Coach bags. The leather is like butter and the quality is unbeatable. I have some Dooney bags but most are made with allweather which is heavy before I put anything in it.
Agreed. If wer're being honest, I think it's all about the preceived status that comes with LV (I have 2 that I enjoy but can't see spending $ on these again) but truthfully, it's not about a better quality. I would put D&B's leather up against any brand. I bought my first one 38 years ago and the quality remains the same.
Nice! I’m with you, I love my LV’s as they come with great memories from purchasing them on vacations. But it’s a lot of money and with price increases?! 🥵
I bought a LV bag gtdupe years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the H Q D U P S as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *gtdupe* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
I almost came for you if you said that *gtdupe* was worth the money. LOL. I mean worth the money is relative. If I had heaps of money and could buy that bag, it could be worth it to me. I love this video. Great information and agree with your choices. Love that little orange Alma. So cute and it's in the BEST COLOR.
This is a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually touristy ones), so I usually go in *gtdupe* to go shopping
Subscribed! I totally agree! I have loved LV since I was 18 (thanks, Jessica!). However, I have Dooney bags that are over a decade and insane quality. Higher end? In my experience, not so much.
Hey Amanda! Thank you so much, and thank you for taking time to comment too!!! I was 21 when newlyweds aired on MTV and as soon as I saw her carrying her LV I told myself, “I will have one of those one day!” As much as I love my LV pieces, I think my Dooney pieces are just as nice. 🥰
The LV is a stunning bag as are dooney ,coach or MK That being said ,I have heard a lot of complaints lately about the LV I do believe the quality has degraded over time IMO !! But hardly ever hear anyone complain about the Dooney & Bourke bags Thanks so much for your honest opinion Hugs Frances ❤
Hey pretty lady! Agree 100%, I’ll always love my LV. Each piece is special to me especially my bags as I’ve gotten them on vacations but the price increases are 🥵!!! Dooney will always be my first love though. 🩷
One of my first really nice bags was a Michael Kors. I got it on sale for $425 and I purchased the matching wallet. I had NEVER spent that much money on a handbag in my life. This bag lasted 8 months when it started to fall apart. The piping on the wallet fell apart as well. I took the wallet and bag back to Macy's and they said they only guaranteed the bag for 6 months and I would have to contact Michael Kors. I did and was basically given the brush off. I swore I would NEVER buy that brand again and I haven't. I now collect Dooney & Bourke. I do have a couple other bags in other brands but about 50 Dooney's. I do wish that Peter Dooney would listen to some of the women who collect his bags as far as suggestions for outside pockets, straps and such but overall I found this brand to wear well and last. I appreciate your video and thank you for sharing. 🙂
Oh no! I hate that happened to your MK!!!! I mainly prefer his older jet set line, in the Saffiano leather. I have several of those bags still. But Dooney was my first love, so there will always be a special place in my heart for the brand. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for taking time to watch and comment.
I remember a l o n g time ago my older brother worked for a Gucci store on Rodeo Dr. He bought a handbag for my mom in a barrel style. Back then the canvas or whatever it was made of cracked. I think this was in the late 80’s. The leather on the handles was nice, the hardware was nice…that’s it. I have no idea what my brother paid for the handbag since he worked for the store, but the quality was not there even then. 🥴
WOW!!!! I’ve never had anything Gucci, but that is so disappointing to know. It’s horrible, you pay out the wazoo for these “luxury” pieces and they’re made no better than a $200 bag.
Just purchased *haven't rec'd yet but due today! YAY!* the Dooney and Bourke Maritime Drawstring bag with natural vachetta trim. I would most definitely compare it to the LV Noe drawstring with vachetta trim. And I'm positive the D & B will be the superior quality piece. It's got an interior, unlike the LV drawstring..and the leather is at least as good or better. I can't say enough about my D & B bags. I feel like each one is a treasure. I'm a florentine snob but this maritime print just won my heart and that trim is GORGEOUS~ This will be a great carry- ESPECIALLY for summer! Thanks for being honest and sharing your thoughts. I agree 100%!!!!
Oh fun!!!! I hope your new bag, I’m sure you will though. Florentine is some amazing leather! I tend to use my flo bags more in fall/winter. Thank you for watching then taking time to comment!
Thanks for sharing. I love seeing videos like this with real opinions. Your bags are gorgeous. To me, luxury is what you love and what you can afford. TFS 🥰🌸
New Subbie🤗I appreciate hearing your thoughts on LV bags and other brands. I’m a D&B girl but I also like other brands too. But I haven’t purchased a LV . I always talk myself out of purchasing one. But the bag is beautiful but I do ask myself is really worth all the money, probably not. But I’m sure I’ll purchase a LV to have at least one in my collection. Tfs😊❤
@@dooneygirl75 hey girl hey! Thanks so much for subbing and taking time to comment. 😍 Dooney is my first love and I will always will come back to the brand. But yes, you def need at least one LV. The experience in the store is just so special. It makes you feel fancy. You should invest in at least item for sure! 🥰
In fact, a friend of mine works at Neiman Marcus and she says rich people buy athleisure wear while middle class people wear head to toe Louis Vuitton or Gucci! Rich people wouldn’t do this! *gtdupe* The rich cry, but wealth whispers!
If I had tons of money and could buy that bag, it would be worth it to me. I love this video. Great information and agree with your choice. I love all the bags from H Q D U P S. So worth it and the quality is very good.
I think it's a bit outrageous for people to be walking around a big city with a $10,000+ designer bag on their arm, you might as well hold up a "please rob me" sign. Secondly, I really don't feel sorry for these brands, they raise their prices at least twice a year, so basically they are driving any potential customers into buying fakes *gtdupe*
One thing I always laugh at is when people say that by buying fakes you are engaging in illegal activity, don't you keep up with some of these big brands and what they are involved in? Haha, selective morality is hilarious. *gtdupe* But either way, it's in your best interest and as long as you don't try to resell it as genuine, it's no one's business whether your bag is real or fake
I bought a LV bag *gtdupe* years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences

I absolutely agree! And yes, the AWL is heavy, kind of like Dooney’s Florentine. Hey, thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

I got a *gtdupe* ,Korean made, Jimmy Choo. It is 20 years old and still looks great.
I admire your LV bag every time you show it. Your hot pink Dooney is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

*gtdupe* The exquisite production process reveals not just a bag, but a fashionable feast for the senses.
