I'm so glad I watched this before I pulled the trigger! The falling, cracking handles would have driven me mad!
I am so surprised they have not fixed this!
I agree. I was just about to buy it
Awesome tag video. Totally understand your feeling. I can feel the frustration of this strap . I have a bag had exactly same strap problem. Thank You so much for sharing and have a wonderful weekend darling ❤️
Thank you for watching! You’d think they would have solved this issue already!
AWESOME review! Really appreciate the honesty 👍🏽
Thank you! I’m so glad!
I almost bought it! Waaah good thing I Googled reviews about the bag before buying! Thank you.
You’re welcome! If you are on the hunt for something similar with better construction and versatility I suggest checking out Pond LA! I have a video on the transform tote (converts to a backpack)!
What an appropriate title bc watching your critique of that bag made me mad and I don’t even own it lol! I hate shoulder straps that fall off the shoulder, and that stick out while storing. Thanks for sharing - I empathize 😤😂
Lol, it's funny how we feel the anger too! I know I did on Jess on Jenny's videos as well. I'm glad I'm not alone! Thanks for watching :)
I think you just convinced me to go with a POND LA. ;) Thank you! So helpful.
I’m so glad it was helpful! I think you’ll really like it 😀 Don’t forget about my discount code- every little bit helps!
I so agree with you they are a lot of things annoys me but the bags are the ones that makes you mad a little it's how they are made sometimes. Another amazing video Jessica love. XO
Thank you!
Nicely done! You hit all the pet peeves so efficiently. I don't think it justifies the price point. Definitely deters me from buying it! Plenty of purse organizers out there to take care of a messy tote! Thank you for saving us some time and $$!
No problem! I’m glad it was helpful 😀
@@Chicprofessor agree, very helpful as I have been eyeing this bag. What is your favorite one instead? I love the 'firm' lines of the Dagne and want something like it. Thanks!
@@jojoholman I have a video and discount code for the Pond LA transform tote which I like so much better!
oooh I can totally see what you mean! this tag really is a helpful one! thanks for sharing your honest thoughts :) xx
Thanks for watching! You should do the tag- I tag you!
@@Chicprofessor Ooooh thank you so much :) Will get on it asap!! xx
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one bothered by the structure! I use the Legend tote as my daily work bag and always thought the collapsing corners were due to a) the size of the bag and b) the fact that I fill it to the brim. I love love love the organizational aspects of the bag and I'll continue to utilize it until the end of it's useful life, but it does frustrate me.
It is so frustrating and I think would be an easy fix! It’s definitely not an issue of the size of the legend or fulling it to the brim. My old midi one did the same thing!
Great tag. have a great evening darling!! xoxo
Thank you! You should do the tag!
Wow… I’m so glad I saw this video because I almost spent $$$ on purchasing this bag but I would also be upset with these issues. Thank you !
You’re welcome! Happy to help!
You look so pretty in this video 😍 love your hair!
Thank you! It's nothing special but I think the color of the sweater brings out some of the natural highlights :)
thank you so much for this video! ive heard a lot about the handles issue and the bag losing structure. that would drive me NUTS!!
So glad it helps!
I agree with you there’s nothing worse than a structured bag that’s now looking slouching, and endearing in a bag is always a good thing thanks for sharing and thanks for tagging me
It is frustrating! I hope you do it- I’d love to see your answers!
Thanks for this amazing analysis! I was looking into buying this bag but now will probably look for something else. What other bag do you suggest as an alternative to the danger Dover classic that is for the working woman and can hold a 13-inch laptop?
That is a great question! I have been on the hunt for some other great options but most are significantly higher in price range. Do you prefer a tote with long handles? How about leather? I can give you some suggestions when I have a better idea of your preferences!
@@Chicprofessor Thanks for the quick reply! I like the long handles but they aren't essential but I love leather! I'd like a bag that doesn't lose its shape when you put a lot of items in it and I can't really afford anything high end because I'm currently a student.
I had watched several videos in the past about these and had looked up several different work bags but most of them weren’t as functional for me as this one. Although I’m not a fan of the weight or the external material as much, because they were like 50% off, I just snagged one today in slate gray. I’m also glad I purchased the the Classic over the Legend since their straps don’t fall at all and really is too large for me and my laptop. However the structure and handles falling off my shoulders will bother me, I was glad to get it so much cheaper and hopefully I won’t grow to despise it later on down the line. I appreciate your review!
I hope that you don't despise it later on! It is generally a good bag- especially if you got a great price! If you decide to look for something else I'll be starting my work bag series videos tomorrow or Friday :)
Really GREAT tag!!
Poor handles and lack of structure can definitely make me MAD. I agree with you!!
I am going to participate in IGTV
I'm glad I am not alone! I look forward to seeing your IGTV!
My company iPad didn't fit in the Classic or the Legend. It has a keyboard cover that adds an inch to the width.
That is a bummer!
New subbie here. I am glad I saw your video, as I was really considering this tote. I love function and structure and for the price, this seems to lack the structure or loose it, which is totally annoying to me. I also store my bags in a large desk drawer at work, but if the hands are standing straight up, or end up cracking when trying to lie them down, then this is definitely a no go for me. The inside of the bag seems to be incredibly functional as far as the origination, but if the structure doesn’t withstand the test of time, then this bag is a definite no go for me. Hopefully, they will correct these structural issues; I read a lot reviews about the things that annoy you about this bag. Thanks for an honest review.
I’m glad it was helpful! Yes, unfortunately it doesn’t sound like a great fit for you as it stands right now!
Nice analysis! I bought this bag on Black Friday sale after eyeing it for years. I haven't started using it yet since I'm saving it as a grad gift for myself, but your complaints are similar to other reviews I've seen. However, I don't think it will bother me too much. Honestly, I have yet to find a tote bag where one of the straps doesn't fall off my shoulder, including my current Longchamp! And I get that the creasing is annoying, but it honestly doesn't look that bad on your bag, it still looks very nice quality from what I can tell in the video. Adding more structure may also make the bag heavier, which is a third complaint I've seen a lot that it is already very heavy as it is. All valid points and a good review, though!
Thank you! I hope it works out for you!
Great subject and yes the totally PM with dual shoulder straps by Louis Vuitton had the one shoulder strap that would always fall drove me bananas I sold it
It is so aggravating when they do that! This one will be replaced in my collection as soon as I find something better that fits the bill :)
I bought this bag back when it first came out and the collapsing corners are the exact reason I stopped using it and haven’t bought a Dagne Dover bag since. Really wish they’d fix that problem because otherwise, I loved the organization of the bag.
It just seems silly to me that haven’t! It’s a common complaint!
same bought it when it first came :( and with all the things i put inside it became soooooo heavy, always give me shoulder pain :/ and true, the cracking corners are such a bad point
Haha, when you mentioned the strap that falls off your shoulder, I was immediately remembered of my LV Sèvres in Mahina leather (Galet colour). I'm usually a complete top-handle-bag girl, this is the only bag that I wear more often as a shoulder bag, since the straps are a little bit longer. It's beautiful, and I love it; but what you described is exactly what happens with my Sèvres. It drives me insane 😤😂! I was /still am on the hunt for one of these small clips (actually, nobody seems to know how they are called, but everybody seem to know what you mean when describing) that hold the straps together, but wasn't able to find one so far...
But all points you mentioned about your bag would make me mad as well 😅!
Have a lovely weekend, Jessica 💕!
I looked for one of those straps/clips for another bag and now I’ve forgotten what it’s called! If I remember I will be sure to let you know! It seems like every two handle tote bag should come with one!
@@Chicprofessor Oh, thank you, I'd love to know!
Yes, you are right; I have two Aspinal of London Florence Snap bags, they came with this clip adjusted. And those were top handle bags, so it was mainly done to hold the shape of the handles, so there is no breakage to be expected too soon. But with shoulder strap bags, it really should be included. It's such a hassle! Sometimes I use this bag when travelling to my parent's home, so I of course do have a suitcase as well. Climbing off a train whilst your suitcase is half way down the stairs of the train, AND your handbag is about to slide down your shoulder is not the most fun experience - and I'm sure it looks pretty awkward, too 🙈😂!
I totally get that!
I found the zipper part to always get in the way. I eventually bought some big paper clips to hold them down so that I can get in it better without hurting myself on the hard zipper and so I can just see down in it. But it does provide good security.
I can see that!
I considered getting the Legend size for a hot minute, but because I live in Europe, international shipping is more expensive. I figured with the size of the bag that the shoulder strap won't stay on my shoulder. So that's good to know
It’s no better and may be worse with the legend!
I have seen your review of the Pond La transform tote. I have the classic and legend size of the DD signature tote. How does the Pond La compare in terms of organization (which I love in my Dagne) as well as the structure?
Thanks for watching both! I like the structure much more in the Pond LA tote and really like the backpack option and feeling of the leather. I think the organization is great but the one thing I liked better about the DD organization was the padded water bottle holder. The Pond LA does not have a padded one and the leather flap is on the exterior rather than the interior which I do not prefer. That being said, I haven't had any issues putting my water bottle inside and keeping it upright since I put so much in my bag :)
@@Chicprofessor thanks so much! I have a work tote obsession and I think the Transform tote is next on my list! Love all of your videos🥰
Thank you, I think you'll love it! I hope you can use my discount code as well :)
Oy, you had similar strap issues with the Cuyana .
Yes! But this one doesn't reach out and touch friends as much since ti doesn't have the strap. It also stays on better than that one does but I do have to adjust it every once in a while which is more of a nuisance than anything else. Regardless, it will be replaced at some point.
Great video -- thank you!
Thanks!
I have the same problem with the corners of my bag. Have you figured out how to fix it? It drives me nuts
Nope! I wound up selling it
@@Chicprofessor how much did you sell it for? I'm thinking of selling away mind too, because it's just too heavy and the handles cracked
:(
Lamodya Hewis you gotta do what makes most sense for you! I sold it for $115 on poshmark so I made 80% of that 😀
Hi there!!! Any recommendations on a great work bag?
I actually have a full work bag series that I believe will be starting at the end of this week!
Chicprofessor thank you! I look forward to seeing it
What a great video Jessica. And no, you are not being over the top...
Thank you! It’s good to know I’m not the only one who would get annoyed about those things!
This is my biggest concern of losing the structure…. So I have not placed the order yet
It seems to be a very common problem! Might I suggest looking at a brand like pond LA instead?
Thank you for this review. This was very helpful. I almost was going to spend $200. Subscribing to your channel. The things you pointed out, it would totally annoy me as we.
I’m so glad it was helpful! I do have a work bag series with other bags that might be worth checking out instead!
Hi, what tote would you recommend for a tote which is not more than 400 $
Hi! I’ve heard some good things about the Tory Burch perry tote and I used to like the york tote. I also have heard good things about daniels nyc tote, and I believe I’ll be getting something from pond la soon and they have some great looking bags- look out for a review of that one!
@@Chicprofessor thank you for replying. What are your thoughts on Ralph lauren dryden marcy leather satchel? or everlane classic tote?
Ankita Singla I’ve never seen the Ralph Lauren one in person so cant comment on that one but the everlane ones did not impress me. They felt very stiff and I did not get the impression that they would wear well.
I had a bought a Dagne Dover bag that was small and folded and had a pen loop in the middle. I don’t remember the name of the bag. When I got it, I was super excited I had wanted to take it on a trip to Florida and wanted something small that I couldn’t stuff too much and so I would not try to carry everything. The bag came and I loved the feel and the color. But there was a key ring inside and the zipper would get stuck and I could not open or close it. I loved it and thought maybe I can cut the ring out and it’ll be ok. But I spent $100 something and cutting off a piece of the bag just seemed ridiculous. So I returned it and I did not purchase any more products. The bags are not cheap and I felt that it should have been better quality. I loved the organization but I can’t seem myself to try out the company again. I’m glad that I didn’t buy any other bags.
I'm sorry that one did not work out for you!
I know this video is a year old but I recently purchased the Allyn tote (higher price point and all leather) and the two corners on the front of the bag do the same thing. They collapse. It’s because of the pockets they place on that side halfway up the bag. If they made the pockets down toward the bottom the problem would be resolved.
Good to know! Yeah there are a few design flaws that they could easily update but they don’t seem to be interested in doing that!
Okay, this bag is now annoying me from across the oceans for all those reasons!
Haha, sorry to spread the frustration!!
Ive had the legend size of this bag since early 2019, and have used it to death. The only issue that mine has is the second shoulder strap falling down. But on the Legend, for me at least, the structure is a rigid as day 1 (and I’m a prof. Too, so I am also carrying around books, laptop, etc... all day every day), and the straps are different so they don’t fall down or crease. All this said, do I LOVE my legend tote.... not really, for some reason, so I dunno. I use it because it was professional looking and not expensive, but as a lux handbag lover myself, it doesn’t make my heart sing.
Sometimes practicality isn’t enough! I’m glad the structure stayed consistent!
@@Chicprofessor I agree about functionality not being enough! I am also glad mine didn’t have the same issues as yours, but I cant in good conscience recommend that you try to the legend size considering that I don’t really love mine. Haha! Love your content, by the way! It’s super nice to have someone who has a similar lifestyle to mine talk about their love of fashion and handbags! Sometimes as an academic I feel really alone in that regard!
@@glendaplease971 thank you so much! TH-cam (and Instagram) has given me a wonderful likeminded community!
My BIGGEST PET PEEVE of bags and purses are the cheap, circular or tube like straps or handles. I will search high and low for a purse or a tote that has a flat strap and at least an open pocket in the front.
If I find that exact bag in the perfect size, I will buy it hands down, and I am more surprised that purse companies aren’t going flat .
A lot of women carry a lot of stuff, especially teachers and workers and mom, so really just anybody and the last thing we need is a purse strap, digging into our shoulders and sliding off
I totally agree!
Love this so I know .
It’s not worth it for those things will aggregate you as well!
I have been looking at this bag for several days and so glad I came across your review before buying. These things would annoy me too! But I am so tired of carrying four separate bags to work to hold all my things (laptop bag, purse, lunch box, and tote for planner, notebook and other work papers and items). I am looking for a large tote to hold everything with lots of organization so I can easily find things. If the straps are long enough, I don't mind it only have shoulder straps, and would also be fine if it had a handle and shoulder straps. I am fine with any material, but I do like some structure to it. It also cannot break the bank. This price point or less is where I am looking. Do you have any good recommendations?
Hi! I’m actually starting a work bag series tomorrow or Friday that might have some great options for you! I’m specifically thinking the video on 15 inch laptop bags, and that brands you’ve never heard of videos might be most helpful 😀
@@Chicprofessor Thank you so much! I will keep an eye out for those.
Would these things annoy you or am I being too picky?
Chicprofessor This is a great tag! It would annoy me too.
It’s not picky to want a structured bag to hold its structure. I hate wrinkling at the base! Oh and the handle thing. That’s really annoying! Always love your videos Jessica!
Totally justified. Have you tried the Allyn? I was looking at that one because I am also always looking for the perfect work bag. The struggle is real. Mine just happens to include a 13 inch laptop so weight and structure loss is always my number one problem.
I don’t think you’re being picky, especially about a work bag that has to function - doesn’t “particular” sound better? 🤣 If I had a decent setup again, I could make this same video about my MK Jet Set Multifunction (laptop) tote. It’s Crossgrain leather, and has the same sagging corner issues, although I reshape the front corners by stuffing with my mini umbrella and a Chico reusable shopping bag and let the back sag since it’s mostly file folders and a discbound notebook.
I still kick myself because I didn’t notice they used a decorative buckle for the straps not a D ring, so they don’t fold down all the way AND flop over the opening of the bag when I’m trying to get stuff in and out. That’s worse than the stitched handles I see everywhere - they spent money on hardware but not USEFUL hardware.
My other complaint is how thin the straps are for the size of the tote - same strap width as the two smaller sizes, but it’s designed to carry a laptop so it should use a wider strap. The thin straps are showing wear at the buckles, so eventually one of the straps will let go.
Why do I still use this bag? I like the inner organization, and the current trend toward unlined bags with stitched handles would be more annoying.
So I keep a checklist of dealbreaker features, keep looking at bags and watching videos. Keep sharing yours!
Haha, yes- particular does sound better! I would complain about those things, too!
The sagging drives me nuts
It is so annoying!
