Fun comparison! I have WAY more Coach than Dooney, BUT, if someone said I had to pick one purse to have for the rest of my life, it'd probably be my Dooney Regular Florentine satchel in Natural, or my mini in Ivy. The thing I find with Dooney is, there isn't as much trend and excitement, but I will never tire of them. Also, the Florentine leather is unmatched IMO. Yes, it's nice to have a finished leather bag that looks sleek, but there is no question, you're getting the full hide with Dooney Florentine. I find the striations and graining absolutely beautiful. I feel like many of the contemporary bags have leather that is so processed that you could be easily fooled on what grain quality it really is. And the smell!
Oh my goodness this comment is 💯 !! You're so right about Dooney and how timeless it is. Like it's never going to go out of style ever! Super classic! Thanks!
Beautiful bags! I have the mini elephant, navy and ivy. I also have the small in natural. I agree, I would never go larger in this style because of the weight.
I appreciate your comparison video. Thank you for such an honest video about the weight of the bags. So people can be informed about what they are purchasing.
This is my favorite bag! I have the mini in navy and I have the micro in red arriving tomorrow. I had the red nano and it is the cutest thing ever, but I just couldn’t downsize that small. I love the colors offered in the regular size, but, I really don’t want to go up to that size. The mini is just a sweet spot!
Dooney red is delicious and I really want that in the micro, just to have one micro! Or the micro in ecru. Can't decide! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new one!
@@agentbagreviews Follow up on the red, micro satchel. I received it yesterday. It has a few, small, very minor scratches on it. They can probably be rubbed right out, but, there is a significant, 3" one, about 1/4" above the logo!! My eye is drawn to it every time! 😭 I have to send it back. I don't think they'll exchange it. I think it's out of stock anyway. I'll have to try again later. On a side note. I do like the little micro size. It's about 10" wide. For the Florentine satchel, this is probably the smallest functional size I can go. Shoot! So close!
I love using mine with the half strap or the guitar strap that I got on Amazon ,I don’t find it to heavy as long as I don’t load it down with a lot of stuff ,but definitely not for someone with back or neck issues
I have yet to see these satchels in person so this comparison was very helpful! I want one but I haven’t been able to decide on whether the mini or micro will work better. Because I need the option to wear all my bags as crossbody, I will go with the micro. TFS ❤❤
A review of the mini vs the micro would be awesome! Also, if you can remember, possibly places both bags against one of the Marc Jacobs small tote bags would be really helpful! ❤❤
Hi Yota! I would say so. If you want to keep the bag weight closer to the 2 pound mark. I do like the mouth opening of the mini more and the weight distribution may be better on the mini. Bag Hound did a great review between the micro and the mini!
Great review and comparison. I go back and forth if Dooney renaming the sizes helped or caused more confusion 😂 This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
I have 2 regulars, in black and in a dark grey, which I rarely see. My mini is in natural. I love the extra room in the regulars, but they are a bit heavy. With my mini, I find that I have to carry a bit less. I think the Florentine satchel is one of the most well- made bags ever.
The dark grey color would be so stunning to see! Black/black is also so striking! Agree with you. The mini is a great size that still holds enough. Thanks!
@@miraclebub I have done that for the regular Florentine satchel and it works great! The one of the mini gets a little too short though when I do that. I just prefer using the web straps most of the time! 🥰
I just wish you do this video earlier, I found a almost brand new regular satchel in natural on eBay and I am in love with the florentine leather even though I never see any DB bag in Europe. She is on her way. It seems to me that the quality of DB bags are similar to my vintage Coach bags, am I right? Thank you for the review.
I hope you love your new bag! That's interesting you compare it to vintage coach. The leather is super duper thick like vintage coach..and like vintage coach it's buttery!

I love all of the colors that you have! I appreciate you swinging by and sharing!
Thanks for the comparison! I’m so stuck on the black or elephant! I can’t choose!
Both are lovely but the elephant is like a soft milk chocolate. It’s dreamy!
@ I went ahead and got elephant! I can always get the black one later. Thanks! 🩷
You always provide an in-depth review of all the bags you show in your channel. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you dear. Love sharing all of these details to fellow handbag lovers!
These bags are both so yummy - wonderful review my friend❤❤❤
Thank you 🤗 My sweetest friend! (Tied with B)
I thought the elephant was pretty in your other video, but in this one it’s stunning! Something in that color is officially on the list.
It really is! I saw it's still available on the ilovedooney in the regular, micro and mini sizes... :-)
I appreciate your comparison video. Thank you for such an honest video about the weight of the bags. So people can be informed about what they are purchasing.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, for many people, the weight of these bags is what deters them. It can be an issue. Take care!

Love your videos, the mini bag looks so good on you!!
Thank you so much!!
Hi Julie, Beautiful bags! Loved the thorough review. It was really helpful. 🥰🌸🌷☀️
Thank you Miss Ivana! I hope I went through details enough! I'm not the most seasoned collector yet :-)
Super helpful comparison! Finally jumping on the Dooney Florentine bandwagon!!! It was time! 🖤👜🖤
I am so happy for you! You're going to love it!
I just ordered the mini in elephant from ilovedooney. I hope it looks as beautiful as yours.
@@melissa2843 yesss! Will be twins! I hope so too
i am going to have to check out the nano now too omg! Awesome review as always.
Thanks! The nano is a baby!
I love using mine with the half strap or the guitar strap that I got on Amazon ,I don’t find it to heavy as long as I don’t load it down with a lot of stuff ,but definitely not for someone with back or neck issues
Those are both great ideas!
Beautiful bags! The color elephant is stunning! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It’s definitely one of my all time favorite silhouettes as well!
Good morning Julie ,such a great idea for a video as it’s become confusing for people over the last while ☕️
Thank you Frances. I agree, I want to start being more straight forward with people with bags...
I have yet to see these satchels in person so this comparison was very helpful! I want one but I haven’t been able to decide on whether the mini or micro will work better. Because I need the option to wear all my bags as crossbody, I will go with the micro. TFS ❤❤
They are about 1-2” in width difference! I love my minis but don’t own a micro. That bag is next and I’ll compare the two
A review of the mini vs the micro would be awesome! Also, if you can remember, possibly places both bags against one of the Marc Jacobs small tote bags would be really helpful! ❤❤
I want one of these bags Julie but the weight would bother me so maybe the micro for me?
Excellent comparison Julie!!!
Thanks so much!

Hi Suz!! You and Ivana are by far the Dooney Queens and I just love you both and your channels :-)
I love a good old fashion comparison video 🎉
Thank you friend! Super old school vibes
Such a great review!

Have you tried doubling up the strap for shoulder carry? Saw that on another channel.

Which color SLG’s did u decide to match with the elephant mini 🐘🤍
Hi! I would say going with navy accessories or the elephant ones would be best! I tend to not splurge on slgs much, rather I’m a bag buying person!
Great video. TFS💙🩷👜
Thanks for watching!
Great review
Hugs Frances ❤
Aww hugs to you Miss Frances!
The micro is cute but, you cannot pull your wallet out when you need pay for things using credit cards
That’s good to know thank you!
