If there is a white look like ashness that is called bloom/blooming. I received a small Florentine t-morow brown satchel that was really white looking. This is removable by heating the skin. I used a hairdryer set on high and blowdried the entire handbag. It worked perfectly. I still have my Florentine t-morow satchel and it has taken on a nice patina. I've had it for close to 2 years now and never had another problem. Hope this helps.
I love the pebbled gram bag it’s so nice either way the longer zipper. Florentine bags do get scratches I think it’s natural for the leather. I think both of them are gorgeous. The leather is really smooth too. My favorite Florentine backpack has as a bunch of scratches, conditioner helps. Tfs 💕
TFS! I was so fortunate to get 2 of these for $149 last week. Can't wait for them to arrive. I got the natural and navy and am crossing my fingers. I do think conditioning will take care of the ashiness but I'm unsure about that weird circle on the one side of the black one
That black bag has a couple of definite flaws, the strange round circle and the line of demarcation where part of it is darker than the rest. I’ve learned to relax with my Florentine when it comes to marks on the leather that are natural….which the red bag seems to have but nothing too bad. I’d keep the red and send back that black and hope for a better one. Good luck, I have a Chestnut one coming my way so fingers crossed!
I just ordered the bag in bag. Florentine scratches easily, but it is my favorite of the leathers. I condition mine and am pretty much good to go. I don’t generally carry my Florentine bags in the summer. Try conditioning them. TFS
Oh wow beautiful I have been eying the red since they have been available as preordered. They just went on sale on ilovedooney and more colors are available, tfs.
I will say i have received a dusty florentine stanwich satchel. I was hot but i hate returning things so i kept it. I’m glad I did because eventually it got a beautiful sheen to it.
I received an ashy bag from Dooney some years ago. I conditioned it and it looked so much better. But I agree with you I don’t want no ashy new bag sent to me. And you shouldn’t have to condition a new bag. I’m sorry for the way it was sent you but once you condition them it will look so much better. But both bags to me looks good to me. I’m trying to figure out which one to purchase. And thank for the comparison with Coach Rowan and Dooney Barrel. Tfs😊😊
I'm new to the Dooney bags....I ordered a red Florentine bucket bag...but when I watch the Florentine reviews there is always so much anxiety about dryness and scratches..and the reviewer is hoping they received a good specimen...I can't wait til my bag gets here Friday so I can have some perspective..also wondering if it was manufactured in Mexico
This is something that I am always preppring myself for with Dooney. It would really depend on how much I wanted the bag. Scratches I have learned to accept, but the circle would be the thing that get me. I think with some love they would be ok, but I don't know if I would want to do it. Hope that helps. TFS
Beautiful bags, especially the red. It’s a shame they are dry or faded? It’s hard to know which is the case. If it were me I would most likely return them. TFS 🥰
TFS❤❤. I had this same experience with the small Charleston Shopper in Florentine. It was in the natural color too so you know the ashiness was real. It was my first Dooney return😢.
Send them back... I know the feeling. I ordered a florentine tote from the ebay ILD and had instant buyers remorse. It was so scratched up. Smaller than I thought it would be too... I didn't return it and I never use it now.
Hiiiiiii I received my Florentine black barrel today and mine is 45 of 95 and it’s ashy like your and mine is textured more thabk your black… my iPhone 15 pro max does not fit the back pocket
Good day @mushroomngrass. Wow! I wonder why. Smh. The zipper pocket is snug and my phone doesn't fit either. Are you going to keep and condition yours? Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
This is my first barrel and I’m pissed more colors are out sfter I received my black barrel I didn’t like the strap attached during shipping instead of inside the bsg
My recent red florentine baguette from the recent sale went back for the same ashiness problem and scratches on backside. Very weird. Waiting on the new one to see if it is better.
Very weird. It must be just random. Both of my baguettes were fine. 🤷🏾♀️ I miss the consistency that #dooneyandbourke had. 🤦🏽♀️ I hope that your replacement is a keeper! 🤞🏽 Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
The white overlay / ashiness look is referred to as bloom/blooming. This can be removed easily with a hairdryer set to a high heat blown over the handbag until all is removed. I have done this on a previous Florentine satchel in the color t-morow brown. I've had my satchel for about 2 years now and love it. It has a nice patina now and I have never had another issue.
My recent red Florentine bag was dry and almost faded. I ended up returning it. I’m hoping the new bag I ordered is richer and more red (not orange) 🤞🤞🤞. Great video! ❤
Wow! I thought that this was a one off. That is not acceptable for Florentine. It's supposed to be top quality! Hopefully your new one is a keeper! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
TFS!!!!!!! Hey sis love your purchase these satchels are🔥🔥🔥🔥. I love both colors but yes they do look ashy and for a new bag they need to do better. I think ILD is for bags that have flaws so they sell for less then on DB site. I believe that these bag be setting in there warehouse collecting dust. Don't get me wrong I love DB bags but sometimes I think they don't do great quality control checks on there bags before they ship them out. I would send and hope they don't send you back the same bags.💚💚💚💚
Thank you! ❤️ I ordered these from dooney.com. That's why I was so surprised of the condition. 😍 Hopefully I get some good ones next time. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
I see the line, the ash and the circle sis…. It’s too much, just like you said. I’m not sure what to say about that. I have to look at this one again. I’m speechless for now. 🤔
I just got the black and it looked the same. Sent it back as the front and back panel were completely different black hues, and has the white overlay. Very frustrating as the shape is wonderful.
I understand that some leathers will show skin imperfections. While some people like that, I don't. I prefer pebble grain. That circle on the black one looks like a large scratch. The red one was full of natural skin imperfections. I am way too OCD to tolerate skin imperfections and scratches on a new bag. I would send them both back.
Thank you so much! I hope so too! 🤞🏽 IDK what's going on with #dooneyandbourke but florentine shouldn't be presented this way! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
Currently these bags are on sale on I❤Dooney for 149.00, price as marked. They are selling on the regular site for $209.00. I believe the I❤Dooney site sells the returned items, discontinued and slightly imperfect items instead of destroying them and impacting the environment. I believe the drawstring bags they sold earlier this year for $60 may have been made for the I❤Dooney website. If you happen to get a new perfect one you are lucky. Thank you OlaMaye for another great video. 🙏🏾
Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I ordered these from dooney.com. So I really expected brand new and great condition. 🤷🏾♀️ Checkout my Community Posts for sale alerts 😁❤️ I don't know what's going on with DB 🤦🏽♀️ Good sales though! Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
Ola Maye, so sorry about the condition of your Florentine Satchels. I hope you were able to return them without any issues. I would return it. A new bag should come in new condition. A lot of the contemporary brands are putting in plastic zippers. I don’t like that. Yes, I can see the line. If I had to choose between the pebbled grained and the Florentine, I would choose the pebbled grained.
Thank you! The Pebble grain is absolutely more functional but the Florentine is so prettt too! 😍 Yes! I prefer metal zippers. 🤷🏾♀️ Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
Do you remember my ashy chestnut crossbody? If you keep it you will have to keep conditioning it, these bags cost more so I would exchange, they’re still beautiful though 😢tfs 💕🩷

I know the line marks and little dot markings are a natural part of the cows hide, it’s from like scars and such the animal sustained while alive. So it can be understandable. However, for the price, they could’ve chosen better leather. If it’s going to be poorer quality leather they should be selling with that disclaimer and also at a much more discounted price. Ashy dryness can be fixed with conditioner but isn’t Dooneys whole ordeal that their leather doesn’t need to be conditioned? I swore I read that on their details description section. That odd circle mark on the black one is unacceptable though. I think the red looks decent and I would keep it but the black, probably not. But given the dryness of both, you might as well return both. I see EVERY single line and mark you pointed out. My philosophy, if it’s gunna bug you so much that you won’t grab for it and be in love, just return or it’ll sit in your closet.
Aaah Ms. OlaMaye, I understand your disappointment. You should NOT have to condition brand new bags. Looks like someone did not inspect the bags before shipping. #Return
Exactly! Lol. The thing is with #dooneyandbourke you have to return it, wait for it to be inspected and then wait for a refund. No exchanges! Repurchase only. Smh.
Wow - here are the words that comes to mind - Disappointing Unacceptable - I would ship them right back. Something not right about those bags. Sorry. I expect more from Dooney. I see they added some colors, but I am weary to pull the trigger on this batch of bags. You shouldn't have to get bags to clean them.

@@ramooch5918 Thanks. I am sure it can be removed, but this is unacceptable to send by Dooney standards. I expect my bags from DB in pristine condition as I am accustomed to. Ashy Bloom is definitely a NO for me.
@PSAPublicShoppingAddict Lol. Hopefully not! 🤞🏽 I just shared on the community post that new colors are available now. I hope that yours look good! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
I've had my eye on these especially with new colors being added...but this has me thinking twice. Appreciate the video ❤
Thank you! ❤️ I reordered because it's such a well made bag and price. 😍 Hopefully you get a keeper! 🤞🏽 Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️
