It's lovely. </p> <p>I am wearing a vintage Coach crossbody these days, too. I don't care if it doesn't look current. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719614 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:28:59 +0000 Carole 719614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rae, and Gaylene, I guess I'm vintage too! Yikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719537 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:29:25 +0000 rae 719537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please wear it! It is classic and satchels are indeed big right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719531 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:23:31 +0000 Gaylene 719531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With a little buffing, this bag would be an exact copy of some of the bags I've seen recently in the stores. I've also started using some of my 30 year old Coach bags this year; the company has recently re-issued the style but now calls them "vintage". That probably applies to the bag owner in this case as well! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719500 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:52:02 +0000 Carole 719500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, Echo and Deb, it feels so good to know that this bag hasn't been taking up valuable real estate in my closet for nothing!</p> <p>Mary K, we can be DB bag color twins.</p> <p>Claire, good point. Yes, a little modern element should do the trick. I'm thinking it might even look ok with the outfit I wore today and my leather moto, just thinking outloud.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719482 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:30:03 +0000 Anonymous 719482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not funky at all either. Don't feel like you need to funk it up, but maybe just wear it with something modern for some contrast against the classic style of the bag. I just wish I had kept my Coach bag that I got tired of. It was still in great shape, but I felt it looked dated (about 5 years ago) and passed it on. You were one smart cookie to keep this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719474 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:25:04 +0000 MsMary 719474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!! USE!!! I am a lifelong lover of Dooneys and have a shoulder bag in those exact colors that I have in current (if admittedly infrequent) rotation. LOVE that satchel!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719432 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:46:56 +0000 deb 719432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will never go out of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719414 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:16:38 +0000 Echo 719414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vintage Dooneys are workhorses that almost never need to be retired (unless terribly abused). Definitely buff this one up and wear it! They style looks current and the bag itself looks great. Score from the back of the closet!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719375 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:39:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 719375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would use this in a heartbeat!

I'm in the Portland/Vancouver area, too. Funny about daughters using the bags. I will have to keep my eyes open for that. Thanks for your positive comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719353 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:21:28 +0000 K. Period. 719353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely give it a leather treatment (maybe clean and condition with some Lexol) and start wearing it again. As JR said, this type of bag is fabulous because the patina says, "I've always had great taste." It is totally on trend now. I've been seeing lots of women in their late teens and 20s here in Portland carrying what are clearly their moms' old D&amp;B bags. Fabulous. I even took out my 20+ year old Coach cross body bag recently and have been wearing it around because it looks so perfectly on trend and current. What fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719330 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:49:06 +0000 Carole 719330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire- thanks! Lucky daughter, the apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it? My style isn't too funky, but I can give it a twirl!</p> <p>Shabby and Sylvie! I'm so happy to have hung onto something I can actually use, that never happens to me. Yipee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719323 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:45:12 +0000 Sylvie 719323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear, wear, wear! How lucky that you have this bag. It is definitely in style right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719315 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:41:45 +0000 Anonymous 719315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for buffing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719313 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:40:56 +0000 Carole 719313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, dark brown almost black...hmmm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719312 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:40:42 +0000 Anonymous 719312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter thrifted a bag in this style recently and dyed it burgundy, leaving the trim brown. But for you, that might be a crime because this bag is so nice! I agree that you should try wearing it again. Maybe with a funky outfit, and see how you feel. I want to hug your hubby for buying you that bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719310 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:40:04 +0000 catgirl 719310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's dark brown?

Yay!</p> <p>Una, actually it is dark chocolate brown and light brown. Thanks for the thumbs up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719303 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:34:42 +0000 catgirl 719303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's completely current in my eye - classic, and it's trendy navy too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719302 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:33:29 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 719302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! Bring that bad boy out and use it! I love D and B bags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719300 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:32:24 +0000 Carole 719300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Firecracker. Out comes the polish!</p> <p>JR-You make excellent points and hubby will be delighted to see me get some more use from this bag. I think he forgot I had it and I'm sure he'll remind me over and over again, that he "paid more for that bag than my first car", yada yada yada! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719285 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:24:40 +0000 JR 719285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seeing bags like this all over the place in stores now. It's the perfect time to bring it out again. It doesn't need to look brand new. The patina of use says "I bought good enough quality to use this for years." Think of all the distressed furniture and clothing they sell that mimic years of use.</p> <p>And the bonus is the warm fuzzies your hubby is bound to feel. That alone is worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719278 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:19:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 719278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Buff it up and trot it out! Such a classic, and to me it looks current again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-put-this-back-high-up-on-the-shelf-db-bag#post-719271 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:15:56 +0000 Carole 719271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband bought this Dooney and Bourke bag for my birthday almost 20 years ago, I haven't worn it in ages and ages but because he spent more on it than his first car (seriously) I have hung onto it all these years. It seems satchels are making a big come back but maybe this is beyond redemption. Obviously, it needs a little buffing.... </p>
