Very Stylish
I ordered the natural and love the color. This is my first D & B purse, and I do not know why I waited so long to order
one. The Florentine leather is amazing smooth and sturdy. The satchel is constructed to last a very long time. I still need more pockets,
but with the compliments I have received this satchel is a winner.

Good Quality
This purse is good quality leather and excellent workmanship. Absolutely beautiful bag but is way toooooo heavy! If you have any kind of arthritis, joint pain or back issues this is not the bag for you. Unfortunately, the one I purchased is on it way back to QVC :(

The bag was gorgeous, but...
The bag was absolutely beautiful, but much too easily scratched. The moment I took it out of the box, I noticed scuff marks and scratches. I initially thought I had been sent a used handbag. I put it back in the box for later inspection and noticed as I did so that there was another small scratch just from putting it into the box. By no means am I hard on my purses, so I was dismayed that it could be so easily damaged. I will continue to buy D&B purses, but I will stay away from the Florentine leather. It's just not durable enough to stand up to even minimal wear. It was a little heavy, but not enough to keep me from wearing it...it would have been perfect for me since I carry my tablet everywhere I go. As I have stated, the bag was gorgeous...I was so disappointed about having to return it.

Fun, stylish, status bag
My Fiance bought this for me in white as a Christmas gift (not at Q). I must admit, I couldn't let go of my everyday Small Florentine Vachetta satchel. But now the weather is warming up, so I have been carrying this bag for the past week. It is a fun, stylish bag with the Dooney name and quality. It is a little on the small side for me. I can't fit the same items I can fit into my satchel. I cannot put anything more than keys or a cell phone in the front pocket. If I put my glasses in the front, it makes the bag too bulky and difficult to close. The back outside pocket is too snug to get much use. I still like the bag, it is just one of my smaller purses in my D & B collection. It is well made and definitely a keeper!

Beautiful!!
I have this in Natural and it's my favorite D&B purse (though the D&B coated cotton floral print Janine Satchel is very close behind) :-)
This purse is the right size, the Natural color is warm and gorgeous and I love the trim alongside the purse. I can wear this purse anywhere - from going to work, to after work dinners and get-togethers, to weekend shopping and brunches with family and friends. Plus, it so matches my jeans and boots when I'm heading out to ride my horse, very equestrian-like, but still so elegant and well-made. Will be getting this in taupe next!

Awesome!!
I received this handbag in the taupe color last week. What an awesomely gorgeous handbag it is! I love the shoulder strap and the two handles for ease of carrying and it is the perfect size for everyday use for me. My husband happened to be home the day it arrived and he said "you aren't sending that one back"! Enough said...thanks QVC for the easy pay and Dooney and Bourke for the great styling.

Just Fabulous!
The reviews here were spot-on! I've been looking for a bag that's just right for my petite frame. After days of self-deliberation, I decided to pick this style and chose taupe. I was thrilled to see this bag today, it's my first D&B and I have to say, I'm hooked so definitely there will be more purchases in the future. It was packed neatly, with dust bag, and the stitching was superb. The detachable strap is indeed long but I'm more of the satchel/hand-carry type so that's not an issue with me.

LOVE
I received my D&B Florentine Pocket Satchel in Royal Blue today and I just love it. The color is perfect, the pocket in the front is perfect, the stitching is so pretty, the size is just right and what else can I say - it's just perfect. :o)

Returned same day
Handbag came in box just in plastic bag. No tissue paper, shoulder strap attached and outside of bag with no stuffing inside. This was obviously a return. Bad QVC! You need to check your quailty control. This bag was over $300 not $19.99.

WOW!
Purchased in the black - LOVE! I came back and have ordered it in the red - can't wait to get it home! Here's a tip you might try if you want to carry it more like a shoulder bag - just double the strap by rebuckling. I carry mine this way when I want a shorter shoulder bag look.

Bag Beautiful, but too heavy !
I loved my Dooney bag, but after about two weeks carrying it I had too opt to return it because it was just too heavy. The problem is also that it's too wide on the bottom. Another design flaw I think is the strap. Not quite long enough to fit like a cross body, so it ends up hitting awkwardly around the hip, and the strap should be wider for a bag of this weight. But if looks are your only consideration, this bag is a stunner. . .even in basic black.

Surprised
Oh Wow, this was a complete surprise!! After being on Waitlist for this bag, I was so happy to see the UPS man when he delivered it I could have kissed him...until I opened the box!! The entire bottom leather portion of the bag, where the feet are, was not (glued?) or sewn down smooth enough to get the air bubbles out. When I ran my fingers over it, it crackled. It was the same way on the top inside where it's sewn onto the green suede. Also, near that green suede was two areas where the stitching was a little loose. I own many Dooney bags
