Florentine obsession is real. I've been on a 10 year binge with 15 pieces. The 2 you picked are gorgeous! You'll go from love to obsession when the leather softens and gets that sheen 😍
I'm the owner of 2 florentine satchels in luggage and red, but I do also own other florentine items in different styles, like the dome satchel in black and the Chelsea in chestnut along with matching wallets in black, red, chestnut and luggage florentine. I too love the smell of any type of leather good, but the Italian florentine leather is more invigorating in its leather smell. The florentine leather is so beautiful and supple, but it does have tremendous weight to them. Congrats on your purchases and enjoy the florentine leather!
Me entire office snd hallway smelled like leather that day and even now with the bag in it’s dust bag it still smells like leather in my closet. Forever grateful to be able to carry them! Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely gorgeous bags. This florentine satchel has been on my list for months. I'm hoping I can buy 1 soon. The Dooney and Bourke outlet has it for 40% off and sometimes they have even better deals😁
Some of the UA-cam reviews I saw mentioned they got great deals at outlets. I got mine on sale too so there’s definitely a good chance you can get one at a great price!
I got my two colors I had my eye on. Chestnut & brown tmoro. My next bag is black in the small size. I did have a mini but it was too small for me. This size is perfect! Your bags are gorgeous! That black one is stunning! ❤
Too too gorgeous!! I was waiting for the problem to arise of which to keep, lol, that's the only problem I ever run into with Florentine Dooney and Bourke bags. Soooo happy you are keeping both. You may regretted sending back .It was a great find to find one gently used. These beauties are the light of my closet. Over the years I have collected the same ones in different colors and they are timeless pieces. They will outlive us and yes they get more gorgeous with age. You did an amazing review. I loved your video. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm for this beautifully handcrafted handbag.
BEAUTIFUL bags!! I have loved the Dooney bags since I was a teenager (90’s). I love the Dooney and Bourke Florentine line. I have a couple of them myself and the quality surpasses any of the luxury brand bags I own. I have now gone back to buying only Dooney and Bourke bags again.
That’s great to hear! Dooneys are really meant to last a lifetime. Their Florentine is my favorite also even over coated canvas. Congrats on your recent purchases!
Glad you keeping both, they are beautiful! I recently was looking to this brand, but couldn’t make up my mind on getting one. Than just last week I saw the size mini in natural at Marshalls and I couldn’t believe it! Once I realized it was a real Dooney and Bourke Florentine satchel I bought it and it’s now in my closet. Every time I walk into my closet I can smell the leather from the Florentine satchel and it it’s unlike any other leather bag I own! I love it! Tempted to get another one 😬😅
Love the natural color in the satchel. I had a Dooney and Bourke Florentine shoulder bag and it was beautiful. Have been looking at the crossbody option over the last few years and more recently the Hattie bucket bag. The only thing is the red interior can transfer if you have lighter color accessories. Hope you have a great one !!
The Hattie is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve read in the review section of the DB website that the strap hook tends to pop off a lot and the bar ends up falling to the ground. That’s why I’m a bit hesitant. Great tip on the interior - thank you!!
One of my favorite bags. Beautiful! I had this in the black small. I ended up gifting it to my SIL as it was a bit too heavy for me and it was just sitting in my closet. I have considered re-purchasing in natural in either micro or nano because of the weight. Enjoy!
@@jessyandthebags i am currently awaiting the arrival in the nano in bordeaux! I'm so excited. So i am re-watching all the florentine videos as i wait.
I did! Got it for $149 on ilovedooney! My first choice would have been the natural (natural wasn't included at this price) but i think i'll be quite happy with the bordeaux. Somehow i have cycled back to dooney and florentine. It's so beautiful and such high quality. 😍
@@bagit90 that’s great!! I think you’ll be very happy with it. It’s going to be a lovely pop of color! I picked up the Dover tote in Florentine. I think I’m on a tote kick lately 😂
@@jessyandthebags I know the feeling. I just posted a video recently with some of my older bags with newer accessories. Nothing like a classic bag! Their Labor Day sale started today🫢
I have a major question about the black bag from Dooney vs. the Natural bag from PM/PoshMark. . . The bag from PM has leather piping "overlapping" on the bottom siding of the bag. . . Because you did not show the bottom of the Dooney Black bag ~ Does the black bag have the SAME leather piping OVERLAP from PM??? I want to make sure I'm purchasing AUTHENTIC merchandise from PM. . . Please & Thank you!
Hello! Yes it does overlap the bottom of the bag in the black one as well. If you want to email me at jessyandthebags@gmail.com, I’m happy to send you close up photos of the black satchel.
Dooney and Burk makes the best bags the quality of their bags are top notch and very sturdy living in NYC if a thief tries to snatch my bag guarantee my arm will be with it Lol
I just got my satchel and it's gorgeous and the leather smells great. However, I was wondering how others find the stitching. My interior logo stitching is, to me, sloppy. And the leather lining my larger interior pocket wasn't cut clean. The materials used are top notch, but it anyone else having some issues with the aesthetics of their stitching?
Florentine obsession is real. I've been on a 10 year binge with 15 pieces. The 2 you picked are gorgeous! You'll go from love to obsession when the leather softens and gets that sheen 😍
I want one in white now 🤭 10 years is a while!
Your bags are gorgeous! I have at least 10 of the Florentine satchels. I’ll bet you’ll want more! The addiction is real!
Already looking into getting a red one 😂 thank you!

Thank you! Me too!
Gorgeous! I have the mini satchel in natural, and the small in black, and pale blue. Careful, they’re addicting!
I saw on Poshmark they’ve come in a bunch of beautiful colors. How are you finding the hardware on yours? Does it hold up?
@@jessyandthebags oh, they definitely hold up. I bought my black one preloved, and it’s still gorgeous.
I have the natural and I REALLY want the black! Happy for you to be keeping both!
They’re both equally beautiful!
Such great classic bags. You can never go wrong with this bag in any size and every color. Enjoy!
Thank you!

I think I have an addiction to these bags now! My closet now smells like amazing leather. Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for sharing these. Great video! I just bought the same ones this week: one new and one preloved. So exciting! ☺️💕
How awesome! What colors did you get them in? Excited for you :) I’m still rocking mine.
@@jessyandthebags
I purchased two of them: one and natural and one in black! Love them!
I got the natural florentine satchel last week & the black Sorrento satchel. I love mine, definitely going to start collecting them.
That’s great. Congrats! You’re going to love the Natural color. It patinas over time beautifully.
Easy to see why you had to have them!!!! I've always wanted one of that style. Someday 😊
They’re on sale now I believe for Mother’s Day :)
They both are beautiful!
I bought one off of EBAy in black and I love it! Thanks for the great review
How great! Glad you love it.

Hi! Both your bags are stunning!!I hope you are loving them! Thank you for sharing 😊
Of course. Thanks for watching!!
❤ I recall watching your video at the beginning of the year. I have purchased both of these bags and I love them!!!!
That’s great! Which colors?
@@jessyandthebags the same two colors 😅
@@milliegoins nice!!!

Yes and yes! My closet also smells of rich leather and I love it! Congrats on such a great find!
Lucky you! Love that Florentine leather and your great Poshmark purchase!
Thank you! Still love them to this day.
@@jessyandthebagsI stay on Poshmark.
Gorgeous bag! my favorite is the first bag, is it the color Natural or chestnut? It's the bag I didn't know I needed! Great review
It’s the color Natural 🧡 I came across this on an instagram ad and didn’t know I needed it either! Thank you for the feedback!
Love the natural color in the satchel. I had a Dooney and Bourke Florentine shoulder bag and it was beautiful. Have been looking at the crossbody option over the last few years and more recently the Hattie bucket bag. The only thing is the red interior can transfer if you have lighter color accessories.

@@jessyandthebags Thank you for the heads up about the strap 🙂.Have a great one
Very pretty! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Great videos, beautiful bags - they're both the regular size satchel - 13" - not 15", right?
Thank you for that feedback and yes! These are the regular size, not the 15”.
One of my favorite bags. Beautiful! I had this in the black small. I ended up gifting it to my SIL as it was a bit too heavy for me and it was just sitting in my closet. I have considered re-purchasing in natural in either micro or nano because of the weight. Enjoy!
Those are both excellent choices! It’s such a cute all year bag and the size isn’t too micro or nano
@@jessyandthebags i am currently awaiting the arrival in the nano in bordeaux! I'm so excited. So i am re-watching all the florentine videos as i wait.
@@bagit90 awesome. Congrats!! Hoping you took advantage of their spring sale. I did :)
I did! Got it for $149 on ilovedooney! My first choice would have been the natural (natural wasn't included at this price) but i think i'll be quite happy with the bordeaux. Somehow i have cycled back to dooney and florentine. It's so beautiful and such high quality. 😍

Love your Florentine handbags my fav
My new favs as well!
Wow nice bags, the color of the brown is gorgeous!
Agreed!
My favorite bags I have every color. Just classy and gorgeous.enjoy.
Looking for a blue one now 😍 it’s so timeless and goes with everything!
@@jessyandthebags look on macari
They are both gorgeous bags......welcome to the addiction...lol. Mine started a few years ago ...💛🖤💛
I’m already eyeing one in light blue 😂 thank you for the feedback!!
Very nice! Love them both!
As do I!
Great video! I love these bags! New subbie!

That’s why I loved the satchels. Everything feels so durable.
True😂
Love these bags❤️
They’ve been one of my best buys yet!
Hi these begs are large size?
Hello! Nope, these are the regular. If you look on Dooneys website, it’s simply called the Florentine Satchel (no size reference).
@@jessyandthebags thank you so much
What size are these?
These are the “regular size”. It’s not the large or the mini, and on D&Bs website it is just named The Florentine Satchel.
Very nice
Thank you!

Hi Ay Jay, I just took a good look at the inside of my Florentine satchel and I don’t have those issues. For sure reach out to D&B!
Is the black satchel large? ❤ I need both colors
It’s the regular size. On the D&B website, it’s simply called The Florentine Satchel (with no size reference).
@@jessyandthebags thanks 🙏🏾 a bunch as I’m using your vids as references ❤️
