The small in that shade of blue is beautiful!
I have 3 mini's and 3 Micro's. I love them both and switch back and forth. You are so right, due to the weight I no longer carry the small. I love the way you do your videos. You speak loud enough and are too the point with your descriptions and are spot on with your pro's and con's of the bags. Thank you!
HORRAY!!! A Satchel video! I LOVE this style of BAG. Hi Moma B. Girl thanks for the vlog cause we cannot forget that this bag is still here. The price is still reasonable for us, especially when a sale is on. My oh My...Thanks for knocking me on my head cause I have to take a trip in my closet. Good One!
I have both the micro and the nano and have posted videos on my other channel “The Florence’s”. They are super cute and the micro especially is the perfect size for gals who don’t want to carry much.
Thanks for doing another Dooney video!
I have the small bag in the burgundy. The strap bothered me so much I switched it for a colorful custom made guitar strap I got off Etsy (specifically refurbished for purses). I have gotten so many compliments on the strap. It looks so pretty and carrying the purse is so much easier.
Love the colors of your satchels!! Just gorgeous! I have a mini in the natural color and it's ok. It has a bit more pebble to it than I like - as I was expecting a much smoother leather - but it's still nice. I never wear it - so recently purchased a couple of guitar style straps from Amazon that are 2" and much more comfortable to carry - plus they're fun and add a bit of color. That's the one thing I don't like about Dooney, are the thin straps - but it's easy to get a $20 or less strap from Amazon and fix the issue! :)
Thanks for sharing your beauties! They look so cute on you!
Beautiful bags. The colors are so pretty! This video was so helpful. TFS!
Wow beautiful bags! I’ll have to add one of these one day to my collection!
Excellent video! Very helpful comparison. I love my mini (in red! 😁). I have arthritis in my lower back, but I don’t have trouble carrying the mini because I exercise self-control about what I put into it. I don’t need an umbrella because my state is in drought. I would not put a potentially leaky water bottle into my beloved mini. Carrying the wonderful leather is such a pleasure that I don’t mind being selective about what I put into it.
I just ordered the mini satchel in Navy . I was unsure if I made the right choice but after watching your video I know I did ! Thanks for always sharing!
I just ordered
the mini in colour navy.Are you enjoying your bag ?
Do you think if I ordered the micro ,the micro would be a better size.?
Lol this would have helped me when I bought my satchel 🤣 I got the mini & was disappointed about the size & complained about it on Instagram. Now I can’t order from the Dooney site haha. After I carried her tho, I fell completely in love with it. So I’m happy I got my mini. Still debating if I want the small size next. Think I’m going to because I just LOVE this bag so much! I think everyone needs this bag in their handbag collection. It’s a staple for sure!!!
Getting someone a gift. Thanks for this. It helped so much.
Such great purses! Thanks for sharing!
Hello!! Me again. I wanted to pop on to say I purchased the micro and am in love with it. I definitely think you should try it if you’re still interested.
This was very helpful. Thank you for posting!
I purchased a micro in the natural and I love it! 💗 I don’t carry much so it’s the perfect size for me. I actually went back to the Dooney website recently and purchased another micro in navy.
I have several small florentine satchesl, but 2 micro, in the burgandy and slate.. I love that size, very portable and not to heavy.
I just got a GORGEOUS pre-owned mini in natural and the patina is just 🧑🏻🍳🤌🏻💋! 100% smooth and just so beautiful! They are quite heavy, so I’m hoping I love it just as much after carding! Lol
Nice video. I have multiples in the small size and I always double up the strap. I have the micro size which comes with the 3 part strap. I have a medium/large and it is way too big for me. I've kept it for travel, but haven't been able to go anywhere for a long time. I think Micro is as small as I can go...it is super cute and holds quite a bit. No plans for a Nano, but someday I would like to try a Mini. TFS
Ty for such a great review
I have a cross body in natural that is leather lined. I love it.
Thank you.Best review on the mini.What are your thoughts on the nano? The micro is cute but is there a big difference if I already have the mini?
I love my Dooney Flo! She's my fave. What are your thoughts on Kate Spade leather bags?
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
I watch your videos on smells I want to thank you for that I am using the coffee grounds lol I am trying to get rid of smoke smell
Those bags are gorgeous and the colors are everything! They do look heavy though.
I have a medium, it's almost 15" wide and the opening is around 12" wide. I double the strap and wear it on my shoulder, it's a bit heavy but not too bad.
These pocketbooks are pretty
Been watching for a while. I bought my first dooney the year I had my son. It’s been a couple years already, I got the small Florentine satchel in the color slate and I love it. Now, I’m seriously considering the micro. I just can’t decide on the color. I’m stuck on three: ecru, natural and red. Any how, thanks for all the info on this gorgeous bag, I’ve learned a lot over the last couple years. 😊
I have the red Florentine and the natural. I always suggest the natural just for the sheer fact that it darkens up and shows the patina that develops over time the best IMO. The red is gorgeous too!
I really appreciate this video! Also.. is that the coach Harmony bag by your YSL bag?
Nope! That is a Coach Edie 42 in plum and this one has a whipstitch detail on it
I am going to get the micro I think that the right size last year when I first brought last year
Great video. I luv the quality of those D&an satchel bags! It’s helpful to know that the shoulder straps are not as comfortable when they are not doubled.
Great comparison and thanks for doing this! I'm on the hunt for a nice bag for my realtor and the Florentine satchels are so pretty. The Dooney site seems to only have the 'micro' and 'nano' so I'm guessing those are a lot smaller?
Do you have a Dooney outlet near you? You might be able to find the other sizes there. If you don’t have one nearby, you used to be able to call some outlets and they would ship the item to you. I think the micro is actually only 1” smaller than the mini so it might be pretty similar. The nano is pretty dang small.
@@MamaBeech Thanks so much for the tip! I ended up getting her a Marc Jacobs tote but the satchels are right up my alley so the Micro might work well for me. Thanks again and great videos!
I brought one last year in a small it was too big for every dang bag but I have used it
Love this comparison!! Have you happened to compare the Mini DB satchel to Coach’s Rogue 25, and the Small satchel to Rogue 30? I’ve been eyeing DB satchels but figured that they may be too similar to the Rogues which I love. Thank you.
No I have not! Another great idea! Thanks for it!
P.s. similar staple bag status and great quality (leather and construction), totally different layout and strap situation. Definitely recommend having both, but I’m an enabler 😉
I have a nano black I have a Hunter green in medium.
Do you know the actual weight of the bags?
Great video, gorgeous bags! Thank you! 🤩
Yay! Thanks for doing the comparison! Dooney is having a sale and I think these bags are in the sale! I think I want the micro!
Pull the trigger! I did on the large (after a comparison video on the large and regular from Pecan Tanned Beauty) and I am SO happy with my choice! The bag I received is STUNNING-100% smith and the smell of the leather is amazing! I chose the large cause a too small opening aggravates me.
I love Mama Beach! I feel like I could hang out with and have the most wonderful conversations about our mutual love of handbags! ❤️
@@stephenmayo8489 I’m seriously considering it! But I would have to go with a smaller bag cause I’m only 5’2 and big bags drown me. Except for certain totes… hehe 😜 so I just might grab me one. Question now is… what color?
@@claudiacervantes5379 oh yeah, a large bag would overwhelm you. I went for the large cause I’m 5’8” and could stand to lose a few so if I do a too small bag, I feel like Chris Farley doing fat guy in a little coat. Lol! As for color, I always love the natural cause it darkens and shows the patina the best IMO. Black is also stunning and the most forgiving since it doesn’t show water spots. However, any Florentine bag color you go with I’m sure will be stunning! Florentine is my favorite leather, even among more luxury brands like Louis Vuitton. Good luck on your hunt and I hope you find the perfect bag for you!
Ps. If you are stuck on size and/or color, I advise to order both using Klarna so you aren’t paying full price up front, get them, and that way you can see them in person if you don’t have a Dooney store or outlet near you. Then just do a return of the one you decide against. 😉 just a thought.
These are so cute! Can you let us know where you bought yours from and the price? D&B have so many retail channels and always seem to be on sale.
For rare colors like these, you have to search resale sites like ebay, Poshmark, and Facebook. If you are looking for a neutral color, check ilovedooney.com or your local Dooney outlet. You can even call some outlets and they may ship to you.
i agree even on my medium size, the opening could be better and bigger.
I wish they would release more colors in the mini. Becoming a little frustrating. I do loathe the strap !
❤❤❤
Do they make a fake version of this bag? I see them on marketplace all the time for like 150 and above but I don't want a fake version.
Do you have any Micro’s or Nano’s yet? My favorite is the Micro 😊
Not yet! They are so adorable though. I’m glad you like the micro!
Have you seen the Bluetooth wallet
Are you alright? Haven't seen a video from you in a long time.
Yes! Just posted one. Update: ua-cam.com/video/u4sOUo6uULg/v-deo.html
Hey! do you sell your bags?
I do! You can always send me an email or DM on Instagram if you’re interested in something. Contact info is always in the description box of my videos
@@MamaBeech ok do you have the bags displayed? Or how do l get to pick what l like?
The largest size is the 'Large'....
They’ve changed how the sizing works in the 2.5 years since I posted this video.
The weight difference is negligible. The Mini weighs 2lbs 4oz, the Regular weighs 2lbs 10 ozs.
The nano has a terrible opening.
