Hey Dawn,
I luv, luv Fossil satchels. The Carli Mini Satchel is on my radar. You did a great comparison video on all three bags. Your Dooney bags are gorgeous.....I love Dooney various leathers. Super share🥰💄👜
hi, *yutulu* ，i just wanna tell you that you make my day with your videos. you have srsly helped me through not so happy times!!! thank you
Absolutely beautiful bags, Dawn! What a thoughtful, thorough review. Gotta love fall and the cozy leathers.
I do love cozy fall leather too! Thank you, Gretchen!!!
Hi Dawn! Thank you so much for all the details you provided on those bags and comparisons are so helpful and valuable! They all such beautiful bags - very elegant and timeless in my opinion! I never owned Fossil bag but you got me so interested in this brand! Have a great week!
Hi Tatiana! Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I agree that these bags are timeless. They are great everyday bags, and they hold so much!! I hope you are having a wonderful week💛🍁
The Florentine satchel has such a timeless and elegant design I'm obsessed!
I love the Florentine leather so much. It gets better the more you use it.
Beautiful bags Dawn! I love them all. Thank you so much for your review. ❤
Thanks Angela!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰
My favorite handbag video of all time is the one you did in your car on the DB Florentine satchel ,you showed what was in your bag. It seemed like a cool cozy day. I loved it. How you organized your bag as you went along showing what was inside, it was just a fun video,I now carry little bags to keep my stuff in place.I loved your LV wallet and almost thought I needed one! I still think I need one. I need to stop buying myself gifts though,lol. But yeah it was so enjoyable & Just thinking about it brings a smile to my heart. I do love DB Florentine bags. Ty
Hi Kim!!! Thank you for letting me know how much you enjoyed that video! I’ve been carrying my black Florentine satchel in the mini size. I believe it’s one size smaller than the regular Florentine satchel. Maybe I’ll do another “what’s in my bag” with that bag. It’s still a good size bag but is lighter & holds a little less. I’m a sucker for Dooney too! I’d love to get one in Navy!!! I hope you have a wonderful Monday. I appreciate you spending some time with me!!!❄️🎄❤️
Hi Dawn, Beautiful handbag collection and thanks for the great review and comparisons. I'm looking to add a new black bag for this fall/winter but haven't decided on anything yet. You were lucky to have nice weather on Saturday for apple picking and cider doughnuts. Thunderstorms here on Friday & Saturday evening and again this evening and tonight they are wild. Hope that you enjoy the week! Carol
Hi Carol! We had a really rainy Monday this week. It rained cats & dogs all day. You just never know what to expect anymore. I hope you had a nice week! It sure flew by!!! 💛🍁
Thanks so much Dawn! I have a beautiful Portland bag that I bought a few years ago and just decided to go for the Sydney satchel. Well it was marked down to $75 and with the $25 promo code, I got it for $50!! I'm a happy gal! Thanks again!
That’s awesome!! I love my Sydney bag! I hope you enjoy using yours!
Amazing review ❤ tha ks for sharing all these beautiful bags. I have 2 Sydney and a and I am contemplating to buy a Carlie 😊
Thank you so much for the positive feedback on my video. I really love all 3 bags! The Carlie is my favorite 🤩
I love the Florentine still! It’s so beautiful. Hang on to them! The price keeps going up! Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!! ❤
Hi Amanda!! The Florentine leather can’t be beat. I’ll never part with my Florentine satchels. Thank you for watching. I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰
Hi. Beautiful bags . Love to watch all your handbag video. I been carrying small crossbody bags . 😊😍
Thank you, Amy!! I occasionally use a small bag. Sometimes it’s easier. I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰
My issue is Fossil started using PU leather on their trim. I am not paying for that even with their lower prices than some brands. I will, however, source their older bags that are all leather!
Agreed. The handles get some much wear and they decide to use pu🤨
I love these kinds of videos I'm so nosy and love to see what's inside .. even at stores when ladies go to pay I'm like oooh that's a nice bag then I peak to see what kind of Wallet lol I'm so nosy. Thank you for sharing beautiful 🥰💕💯
Haha!! Me too!!! I also love seeing inside other ladies houses!! I’m nosy too! 🤗💕
Amazing video!! Thanks for the review ❤
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! ☀️🍁
I love the Carlie in Black! I was excited to get the Camel last year, but I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I need to take another look. Great review.
Thank you so much for watching. I really love my Carlie bag. It has the perfect amount of pizzazz without looking gaudy. It hold so much too!
Hi Dawn 🤗who doesn’t love a good doughnut 🍩 Fossil bags are such a classic. Have enjoyed them for a long time . Have a wonderful week 🍂💕
Hi Diana!!! Doughnuts are delicious!!!! 🍩 I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰
Love all the comparisons thinking of getting the Carlie
Thank you!!! I hope you love your Carlie if you get one!!!
i spoilt myself n got a Sydney Satchel, a small Ainsley crossbody and a medium Ainsley crossbody, Jori wallet and Logan mini multifunctional wallet all in brown. i love them
You chose some really beautiful Fossil products. My Sydney satchel is broken in. It’s nice and soft, but still isn’t too slouchy. I love it!
I looked up the Ainsley crossbody. It’s super cute!! Now I want one! Lol 😝 Thank you for letting me know that you found my video helpful and enjoyable. That means a lot to me! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!!❄️🎄❤️
@@DawnsLifeover40 thank you for responding omg!! the satchel leather is great
Hi Dawn, TFS! Have tried loving the Sydney & Fiona satchels, sold three in total…for me just bit too boxy and stuck out too wide at my side sadly. Looking at a preloved vintage Fossil Maddox satchel. Fossil bags are so lovely, enjoy them. Found a Coach mini Bennett and liking that size more 💛🇳🇿 PS: AND also did have a D&B large Florentine satchel in natural but way too heavy/bulky for me 😢 gorgeous bags too
I can see how these bags would be too boxy for you based on the bags you enjoy. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to say hello!!!🥰💛
Dawn, because of your great review I’ve found an ‘original’ preloved midnight blue Sydney and gonna try loving it again 😂 hoping it slouches for me being already broken in! Please do the Longchamp review sometime, I have a few preloved ones 👍🏻🇳🇿
That’s awesome!! Getting it second hand is a great idea too! Midnight blue is beautiful. I hope you love it!! I’ll plan on an updated Longchamp update!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day ☀️❤️
Hi! Fantastic review! I have 6 bags and wallets from the brand and all of them has a great quality. I’m looking for the new one in black. Tks again!
Fossil gets forgotten about on TH-cam, but they really are great bags! I’m glad this video was helpful to you. Thank you for letting me know!! Have a wonderful weekend ❤️❤️🦃🦃
Love watching handbag videos, dermatologists videos, and I’ve seen the planners out there who have their organizer’s. Really neat. Love all things skin care (sunscreen and exfoliation is what I preach lol)
I would love to hear about your diet and how you maintain your weight and health. ❤
I like those kinds of videos too. I appreciate you watching and your video request!! I’ll work on a diet/ health video. I hope you are having a wonderful day 💛💕
Thank you very much for the comparison, very helpful. Melanie in Ca❤
Thank you for watching!! I appreciate you letting me know you found my comparison helpful!! Have a good night! 💤 🌙
Dawn, just received my Original Fossil Sydney in what was meant to be Midnight Navy but…is actually very dark green! Still LOVE it as I don’t have a green in my collection. Love the older models as is slouchy! Have a great weekend 💚
Ohhhh! Dark green sounds beautiful!!! I hope you enjoy your bag for many years to come!!☀️🤗❤️
@@DawnsLifeover40 thanks ☺️
i bought the Sydney a few months ago (didn't come with a lock), probably in the summer so i can wear for winter and i also bought it because of the planner community 🤦🏾♀😂. Watching this video is reminding me that i have it and that i need to wear it 💙 That Carlie is so cute and i would love a WIMB video!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate your feedback on the WIMB video too! Yes! Get your Sydney back out and use it. It’s such a great bag! 🎄❤️❄️
Wow. Just today I was looking at the D&B florentine satchel I inherited from my daughter Elizabeth. It needs to be cleaned and I thought that I’d ask you on your very next video if I should use The Apple cleaner or just the Oil you recommended for these bags. I bought 2 of these bags and gave one to my daughter. I never used mine. And now I would rather use Elizabeth’s for its memories. All the bags in this video are so good looking. Thanks for your review, I love your bag reviews. 💞
Hi Priscilla! That’s so sweet that you’d rather carry Elizabeth’s bag. I’m like that too with my daughter’s bag. I’d start by trying to buff out any scratches with your finger. I like to use Otter Wax leather oil on my Florentine leather. Use a white microfiber cloth so there’s no dye that can transfer on your bag. Your bag will look darker initially from the oil, but once it dries it will have a beautiful shine! If you don’t want to use an oil try the Apple brand leather cleaner & conditioner. You can find it on Amazon. I hope this helps!!
Hello Dawn yes those Dooney and Bourke‘s are beautiful bags I have several and I have the one you have as well I use it every year and I have had it for years as well would you do a video on your handbag collections the fossil bags are very nice as well your bags look like they are brand new you take very good care of them as I do mine as well have a great week
Hi Nancy!! Dooney & Bourke bags are the best quality. The Florentine leather gets better the longer I use them. I’ll plan for a handbag collection video. Thank you for the request. I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰
Oh Dawn, you know how it goes when I watch your handbags videos, right?! 😃 Rachel in cognac and Sydney in black are coming home! 😆😆😆 Fossil Canada is having a major sale on these two right now, They are about 125$cad each! 🎉🎉🎉 Couldn’t resist! 🤷🏻♀️ I’m not a planner but I’m a reader and I need space for books in my handbags. 😉 Thanks for sharing! ❤️
You’ll love these two bags Julie! They are light weight and so easy to access your essentials!! Fossil has amazing sales!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 keep me posted on how you like your bags!!!
@@DawnsLifeover40 I will! 😉
I love the DB bags
I love them too!!! Thanks for watching Carrie!!!🥰
Hi Dawn nice bags😊
Thank you, Shirley 💕
Awesome review on all of your fossils! I just bought a Rachel. My question is do you ever worry about your fossils getting wet ? I live in Seattle area and I'm worried about using it in the rain.
I’ve had some drizzle on my Fossil bag and it didn’t stain it. I’ve never been caught in a storm though. I’d recommend treating it with a water repellent product for leather just to be safe. Enjoy your Rachel bag!!!
I have a very old Fossil tote in a gray. I love it and that bag has been a workhorse. However, have you found that the leather quality has changed over the years? Every time I see a Fossil I have a look see and you are right, the newer ones really are lightweight. If. You had to pick just one, what would it be? I love the cognac color and could use a new bag for the autumn. I hope. You enjoy that great weather. I think it was just a week ago, my daughter, who lives in Chicago, was dying due to the heat. It’s amazing how the weather shifts!!! I hope you have a great week ahead. I always look forward to your reviews. Off topic, those earrings are gorgeous and just the right size. Can you share details? Thanks.
Hi Cindy!
The weather did go from super hot to autumn like weather very quickly. I’m enjoying the reprieve from the heat.
If I could pick just one it would be the Carlie in black or cognac. The leather does feel thinner. I think it’s because Fossil has a trademark on their leather now. I read it’s more sustainable. I like that it doesn’t scuff so you can be tougher on your bag. I let my fossil bags sit on the floor of the car or under the seat on a plane, and it’s opening is so wide it’s very easy for travel. I don’t use my Florentine bags in those situations, so they make a nice addition to my collection.
My earrings are from Kendra Scott. I purchased them from Nordstrom during the sale. I’ve always admired her earrings, but never owned a pair. Thank you for commenting. It means a lot to me!!🥰
Cindy, i couldn’t find my earrings at Nordstrom anymore, but I found a similar pair on the Kendra Scott website www.kendrascott.com/new-now/trending-now/flash-sale-2/small-faceted-alex-drop-earrings/faceted-alex-drop-sm.html
Mine are gold & rose quartz.
@@DawnsLifeover40 Thanks for checking and for the recommendation.
Would you recommend the Carlie over a Sydney?
Is the carlie firmer than the Sydney? My Sydney is fairly new but slouching already?
Like your video! Does all the 3 fossil bag have the same leather quality. Thanks😊
Hi li li!
I think the Carlie feels sturdier, but I think they all have decent leather quality. Thank you for watching!🍂🍁
Is the carlie firmer than the Sydney? My Sydney is slouching already.
My kind of bags completely. All of them. 👏🏻. I am lucky that I don’t really like doughnuts 😆🤪
Yes you are!! I find them hard to resist. 🍩
Hi Dawn. I thought that Fossil discontinued the Rachel and the Sydney, I didn't see them on the Fossil website but I did see the Carlie satchel on the website. Do you know about this?? I was really interested in the Rachel?? Do you know if the Rachel has been discontinued?? Thanks for your help.
Hi Lana! I just checked the Fossil website and I did see the Rachel bag. Here’s a link www.fossil.com/en-us/products/rachel-satchel/ZB7256001.html
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy your Rachel bag!!!
Thanks Dawn, I will check out the link. Thanks again for your help.
I cant pin point exactly what it is but you do this thing when you talk where your mouth is fully open the whole time exposing all your teeth. Reminds me exactly of my middle school math teacher. She did the same thing! She was a Sweet lady.
It’s so funny how we don’t notice things in ourselves, but now that you mention it, I notice it. I’m glad it reminds you when of someone you liked❤️
You are so awesome at explaining your methods and reason for them. Very informative & you’re so sweet , and hot! lol. Thank you for sharing he learns a lot. *yutulu*
