    I compare these to the small Senreve bags, but for 1/2 the price. They carry by hand like those and are a similar size. I like these more for their old world quality and rich details. The florentine leather though is too easy to scratch, and they don't rub out that easily - I tried with my logo lock hobo in florentine. Now these are my scratches, made easily with the slightest fingernail graze, but I still have to deal with the problem. The Amelie, which I really like, is the only florentine style I would ever bother to get again because of this sensitive leather. I hope you get the navy!

      Florentine is so pretty, but definitely easy to scratch. The bag came with those scratches, and I couldn't rub them out! Unfortunately, I had to return, which stinks because I really like the bag. That navy one is still calling my name lol!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Melissa!

    Beautiful! I just got my Amelia in the mail today from Dooney and mine is also scratched. I agree, the bags should come to the buyer without scratches. I am going to reorder in a diff color and send this one back.

    Apple brand conditioner will help remove the scratches. My black Florentine arrived that way and I conditioned it and buffed out the scratches. The thing is, they don’t always arrive baby smooth from Dooney. I’ve had an over textured Florentine arrive. The rest have minimal texture but if you get a super smooth one it’s great. I would keep it

    • @JenniferMartinez
      @JenniferMartinez  3 роки тому +1

      This one was definitely a disappointment, especially since it was the second one I’d gotten from Belk. I ended up returning it 😑
      TFW!

      I have another bag like this and you can literally lick the tip of your finger and buff out the scratches.

    This review was awesome! The Dooney website currently has this bag on sale for $213!! I was going to purchase it in red but then your review made me realize it’s bigger than I want and the non detachable strap was a deal breaker for me. 😩 thanks for saving me a couple hundred bucks! The search for a red bag continues….

    • @JenniferMartinez
      @JenniferMartinez  3 роки тому

      Thank you so much, Claudia! I really liked this bag, but just couldn't handle the scratches.
      I feel your pain about the red bag - it's not easy to find a really good red one!! Good luck 🙏☘

    This is the bag I kept in chestnut...so cute called Small Amelie Tote. The clasp is called a Logo Lock. I believe the Amelie comes in 4 versions. 1 size smaller called mini, 1 size bigger called Large Shoulder Amelie has two thick rolled shoulder straps and no adjustments. I returned cuz wouldn't stay on my shoulder. 2 sizes bigger version called Large Amelie satchel and I think the only version with removable crossbody strap with dog leash clasps. I've used my fingers and micro cloths to get scratches off of an Outlet purchased scratched bag. If I get very deep discount I will attempt to get scratches out. I massage the bag while watching TV if it's badly scratched and usually buffs out. TFS

      Thank you, Carilyn! I tried to massage out those scratches, but it just didn't work. I really do like that bag, though. Such a cute silhouette! Thank you for watching!

    Florentine in natural scratches so easily. What probably happened is that you got a return.

    Thanks for doing this review. I like the style but was hesitant because of the front hook. I’ve heard some stories about it. I love Belk but they are horrible at describing bags lol They actually had a dreamer 21 listed but it was actually a regular size dreamer smh. TFS🤗

    • @JenniferMartinez
      @JenniferMartinez  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, girl!!! I think they must be horrible at describing lots of things. I was looking at a fragrance sampler, and the description said you were getting .50 oz. of each fragrance (which is nice!), but the box pictured showed you get .05 oz!!! VERY different lol. Thank goodness I caught it. Actually left a review, which I rarely do...
      Thank you for watching, Mo!

    So sorry you had a bad experience with Belk shipping and quality assurance. The buffing helps but for deep scratches its hard to see a difference. Thanks for mentioning my channel.

    I know a lot of women love the florentine leather. The look, the smell, etc. But for me, I know I would not enjoy what they call patina. I like patina on my antique furniture, not on my clothes or bags. I'm glad Dooney offers most of their bags in leathers that do not scratch, but I wish they would offer ALL of them in sturdy, non scratch leather!
