These bags are gorgeous. I like the option of the different sizes. I can recall when this silhouette only came in one size. I am thinking of getting a small size. Thank you for this share ❤👛👜💄👝
@@jkayeworld650 I love my “Small” size. Sometimes I don’t need that much room & it’s easy to carry. I love this silhouette, too! I want the other 2 tiny sizes I don’t have but not sure which color yet. 😆 TFW! 🥰
I actually really appreciate this especially since the Dooney site isn’t always accurate with descriptions and measurements. All beautiful bags but I have to say I’m a bigger fan of the 12”. I typically keep one Dooney tote for my bigger carry days (to carry a water bottle & hoodie) so a bigger handbag would have to have really ease of access and so I see why you prefer the larger bag. 😊
@@conniepleasantnails YES! My favorite handbag would have enough room to carry my MacBook, planner, makeup bag & possibly for a light sweater. 🥰 TFW! ❤️
I just found this video, and I want to let you know how much I appreciate it. I sold my large satchel, and now I regret it because it was the 15” in elephant. I didn’t realize the difference in size with a newer ones, so this video really helps me research to find another large satchel. Thanks again.☺️💕
So glad this was helpful! I wish I knew also before I went to the D&B Outlet Store b'coz I may have thought about the 2nd hand market or had more time to process buying the newer design. 😆 Sorry to hear you sold your old Satchel....I "NOW" can really appreciate my old Satchel since D&B has changed things. TFW. 🥰
I had no idea 😮I have the largest size in natural I purchased from Dooney and Bourke 8 years ago . I absolutely love it but you can tell on your video size slightly different . Also I saw on another video the older bags have an engraved logo on the inside of the metal zipper pull RIRI zippers which are high end luxury bag zippers. On the newer bags in a video it didn’t have it engraved but not sure if it still is RIRI and just not labeled. The bags are still absolutely beautiful though ❤
@@rosannaanisi4642 oh, I haven’t looked at the zipper pull on my new Large Satchel…..I’ll have to check that out. I know many brands are going through quality issues because of cost control but the consumers suffer ‘coz the products aren’t as good compared to the older ones. TFW. 🥰
Thank you I ordered a Large Satchel and called Dooney about the size. 😩 The agent confirmed the smaller L size. Smh. I called before I saw your detailed Great Video. I suggested to Dooney & Burke to please make the Original Large Satchel Handle drop length: 5.5". H 9.5" x W 6.5" x L 15". I found an Original in Great condition on Poshmark.
Oh yay! I'm glad you found the one you want eventually. Sorry you ended up having to deal w/D&B regarding the smaller size. I wish they would fix it. 😆 I'm sure it made some people happy that said it was too big. TFW. 🥰
Hello I came across this discovery when I purchased the Fucshia large size 2 months ago from Dooney and Bourke online. Talk about a huge let down!!!!!!!!!! The bag overall felt cheap, the tassels were shorter and the biggest let down was the size. To return the bag would have been a huge hassle so I kept it. I have not used the bag yet. Let’s just say as much as I love this model I will no longer add to my collection at least not from the the site. I would like a piece in the Florentine natural but will have to purchase from the preloved market. Thanks for sharing.
Awe, so sorry you had a surprise, too, like I did. 💔But you're right, ordering it online is more of a let down than being at the store like I was and making a decision to buy or not. You could probably call the outlet stores and ask b'coz the San Antonio, TX had the black-black in the older Large 15in version that I could have purchased but it wasn't as pretty as my Large 14in on this VID. Maybe these stores might have the Natural color Large 15in. More than likely, D&B will phase out the Large 15in at the stores, too, once they sell out. I hope you find the Natural Large 15in for your collection one day. TFW & sharing your experience. 🥰
I followed you the whole way through, girl 😂. I don’t know what that says about either of us. I saw a few videos where people bought the large fuchsia and the noticed the size difference so I was aware. I haven’t purchased a large/medium satchel in a while though. I was entertained by the video and I hope you love your new satchel. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Glad you followed the craziness of the name changes. 😆I may have seen a couple of VIDs that possibly mentioned 14in but I never really listened to that part, maybe I was just admiring the bag so much & didn't remember. 😆 Ya know, I think I'll still love her anyway......but maybe not as much as my original. muwahahahah! TFW. 🥰
Interesting! I wasn't aware, because that size is WAAAAY too large for me, so it's completely off of my radar.😂 However!, the tmoro regular (previously "Small") Flo Satchel that I purchased recently is a whole 1½ inches smaller all the way around than the typical Flo regular Satchel.😮 It's almost the length of Mini, but taller. I thought it was simply an anomaly, because it has other differences than other regulars, but now I'm wondering if Dooney is shrinking the Satchels across the board.🤔 Thanks for sharing! This was thoroughly done and enjoyable.😁❤️
Oh wow! You could be right b'cz Dooney never even said anything on QVC VIDs whenever they were talking about the Large Satchels that it was smaller in size....so maybe the "regular a.k.a. small" is next. YIKES! Glad you enjoyed the VID. Thanks for sharing your experience w/your recent purchase 'coz I was wondering that exact thing about the regular.....so far on Dooney website, they still have it at 13inches....but it could change before the yr ends. LOL. TFW. 🥰
It really is. Especially 'coz I like BIG bags. Maybe some didn't mind 'coz they like the change. I still think it's important to shout it out. 😆 TFW. 🥰
YES! I couldn't believe it at the store and still kinda in shock but I wanted this info out here for anyone considering the Large. I mean btwn the regular and large now, it's not a big diff. Back then, you could somewhat justify the diff in pricing.....but now??? Hmmm. LOL. TFW. 🥰
I've seen lots of videos on the size difference. Including my own😂. Sorry you haven't seen those videos. I think it may be because they were so heavy. Yours is beautiful. Don't be mad 😍
Awe, ty, she is gorgeous, I have to agree D&B did good. I actually had to go back to your VID after editing mine bcz I remember seeing yours, but, the mention of the size diff was so quick that I guess I didn't remember that part. I just was admiring your bag. 😆 Yours is a beauty, btw! TFW. 🥰
I believe I will definitely keep her; she is a beauty for sure. But I probably won't get another Large Florentine Satchel again due to the changes Dooney has made. I might get one of the smaller versions if anything. 😍
Hi, thank you for the upload. Yes, I knew it was 14" L bc the Dooney website described it as such. But compared to the 15", I would have preferred it, too. When I received mine, (I had to call the store and order), one of the tassels on either side weren't sewn. It almost unraveled on me. Fortunately, I had leather glue and did just that, but oh my goodness! Because it was the final sale AND bought via call, I couldn't return. If you're displeased and still able to return her, do that. She's a beaut nonetheless and has a story to tell (pre 2020 and post...).
@@bellelvbelieve oh no, I’m sorry about your bag experience. 😢 I am still using her; I’ve switched out but got back in😆 I will still enjoy her I think; we shall see. TFW & sharing your story. 🥰
How interesting! I’m glad I got all of mine before this mess 😂 The old large/new medium was always way too big for me, but for people who need the space, the shrinkflation is disappointing. Did they give a discount for the missing inch? I THINK NOT 😂
Muwahahah, right?! They won't give a discount for that missing inch! But it was still on sale, she was beautiful & I had already waited 2 yrs to finally get her. LOL. I'm still gonna love her though, like all my babies. TFW. 🥰
It's a shame. I agree, that green suede inside does add a special touch. My Florentine Large Hobo doesn't have that lining but my tiny Florentine front pocket crossbody does.....which I never understood why they put it on the tiny bag vs. the larger more expensive one. hahahahaha. TFW. 🥰
It depends on how recent you mean to compare the old "medium" was. I know my VID was kinda confusing 'coz of all the "name" changes D&B made. 😆 But to answer it plainly, no, they are different in size; the older is bigger. TFW. 😍
Sadly, yes. It's like the products in the grocery stores now, they increase the price but it comes in a smaller package than prior yrs. 😢 I'll still love her though; small but she is a beauty nevertheless. TFW. 🥰
I have both 13” and 15” satchels. I use 15” one for travel,if they downsized the large one, I personally wouldn’t buy a 14” satchel and for 1” less I might put up with my regular satchel.
IRK? It's kinda sad, I hope D&B goes back to the original 15". I have been enjoying this black Satchel, don't get me wrong, I LOVE IT but I do miss the extra room, a little. 😆 We'll see the longer I have it, I can determine later. Thanks for stopping by. 🥰

YW. TFW. 🥰
Can I ask where you purchased your black Florentine large satchel?
At the San Antonio, TX Dooney Outlet. 🥰
Also, a lot of the Florentines do not have the green inner linings. I thought that’s what Florentine bags are known for.
It's a shame. I agree, that green suede inside does add a special touch. My Florentine Large Hobo doesn't have that lining but my tiny Florentine front pocket crossbody does.....which I never understood why they put it on the tiny bag vs. the larger more expensive one. hahahahaha. TFW. 🥰
Is the large black Florentine the same size the medium/regular used to be?

Probably inflation. A couple of inches of leather per bag could add up.
