I have both bags as well, and I can tell you the Dooney and Bourke is made with more quality than the Louis Vuitton. It surprised me myself it’s just a better constructed bag.
I have the Speedy 25, but its in the monogram canvas print. I have the exact same black Florentine satchel that you showed in your video, and I really like it. Thanks for a fun and insightful video😊
I have this D&B same color in size lrg. I have a speedy 35 in mono I like them both for different reasons. Choosing one wld be hard. I feel any bag over 200 shld have feet. Thats the one thing I hate about LV u pay all that money but get no feet. Just subbed
The way I see it, that just means it’s made of high quality, durable materials. I just lack it a bit lighter so the weight isn’t as bad on my shoulders.
@@jessyandthebags After this video I am going to purchase the LV Speedy B 25. I do plan on purchasing a DB all-weather leather mini drawstring in blue. They do great colors.
I just bought my first Florentine bag in natural. I really like it! I have lots of LV bags. I treated the Florentine with the apple guard spray to protect from water marks. Thanks for the video!
I’ve never seen the finish on Dooney Florentine hardware chipping off in chunks. They did have a bad run some years ago where it did sort of…tarnish?, but other than that not so much. I do think the hardware adds a lot to the weight, though
Florantine Vacetta leather that D&B uses is the highest grade leather and just gets better in time. It’s the bag to be passed on for generations. No comparison. Also all the hardware on Dooney and Bourke is brushed 24 K gold as stated on their website. The hardware might be chipping on the Dooney if you have both metal clip handals attached to same side of the bag do to rubbing against each other I have the same bag it’s beautiful.
Thanks for the comparison, I do love videos like this. Love both bags, but just prefer the Florentine for its looks. As for the zipper, I think you're absolutely right that the LV is more practical. Maybe you'd enjoy DB's domed buckle satchel, because it looks similar to the slouching satchels, but has a wider opening, more like the LV.
Ooohhh I am going to look into this! Dooney and Bourne has so many styles it’s hard to keep track. Thank you so much for the feedback and recommendation!
Do you find the Dooney florentine to be super heavy? I was thinking of getting one for my laptop and all other things I need to take to work. I am worries about the heaviness
It is a bit heavy, especially after you add in a laptop. The Coach empire may be better for that but if you don’t mind the weight, the Florentine satchel is a GORGEOUS bag!
Yes!!!! I had 8 large ones that I sold because I NEVER used them but kept them because they were beautiful. So much quality leather makes it so heavy. I have 2 regular ones left but if I were to get one again, I would get the mini size

Couldn’t agree more! I always say the Florentine satchel is a work of art - the handles the whipped stitching, the tassels and the interior are just 😍
Love the Dooney Florentine the best! Thanks for the comparison. 🖤
They really are! I was shocked how well it stood up to the ever classic Speedy 🖤
Great video! Dooney florentine is my fave. 🌻
Lovveee their Florentine. The smell and texture of the leather is unmatched.
It’s such a great comparison! i think for being on a budget, the Dooney is the winner. Both are beautiful in their own way!
Couldn’t agree more. I can’t just pick one I have to have them both! Even if they aren’t in the same color. The Dooney is just a work of art.
I have the Speedy 25, but its in the monogram canvas print. I have the exact same black Florentine satchel that you showed in your video, and I really like it. Thanks for a fun and insightful video😊
They are both timeless bags! Even though they’re very similar in design and capacity they can totally stand independent of one another.
Watching your old videos. Love your sweater!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing! Like them both!

Couldn’t agree more! That’s why I will always have one of each in my collection.
Dooney is beautiful bag ,it is heavy because is a fully leather bag.
It is. As long as I’m not carrying it all day for multiple days it’s a nice carry!
Both are beautiful bags! I wish the Dooney bags weren’t so heavy though.
The way I see it, that just means it’s made of high quality, durable materials. I just lack it a bit lighter so the weight isn’t as bad on my shoulders.
This is the video I needed. I love both brands and I am actually trying to choose between these two bags.. Great video.
That’s great to know! I always thought of them as very similar bags.

So correct! Which is why I mentioned the value for the $$ is 100% Dooney and Bourkes. This is such a timeless piece ❤️
Thanks for the Dooney strap trick !!! I hate bags that are too long rolling around my hip like a bowling ball so that trick is excellent !! 6:23 am
Glad I was able to help with that!
Great comparison. I have both and feel the same about both. Love this comparison
Thank you so much for watching! Are you considering in buying one or the other?
Totally paused and rewound your vid to re-strap my Dooney bag!
It’s suuucchhh a great hack. Glad you found it helpful!

@@jessyandthebags thank you!
Great comparison video. Your bags are beautiful! TFS 🤗
Thank you for that feedback and thanks for watching!
I hv both LV in Cognac and DB in Natural
Both very beautiful bags!
I have the Rooney bag I like it but rarely wear it because it’s so heavy
Dooney
It is heavy but I can’t resist taking her out from time to time. I haven’t worn my natural colored one so going to try to take that out more.
Yes!!!! I had 8 large ones that I sold because I NEVER used them but kept them because they were beautiful. So much quality leather makes it so heavy. I have 2 regular ones left but if I were to get one again, I would get the mini size
I have both the only thing cons I have for Dooney&Bourke is it’s very heavy
Agreed!!!
Great comparison. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Thank you Suz! Hope you’re doing well.

Great comparison tfs
Hi Robin, glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching! HNY.
First you should start with what size is the Dooney . Is it small or medium ?
This is the regular size ☺️ if you look it up on their website it just says the Florentine Satchel. Thanks for the tip!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice comparison!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you

Love the LV, worth the $$
Totally!

Hi Nita! Thank you so much for watching! LV will always have a place for my heart but one of my first handbags was a DB. They’re forever treasures ❤️
