I didn't think I was going to like this bag, but I ended up loving it! Finally Dooney made a usable bag with outside zipper pockets and a zip-top closure. Everything feels very secure. I put my car keys in one, and items I need to get to easily in the other. The inside zip pocket is large and can hold many small items, and my cell phone does fit in the cell pocket. The leather seems very durable and is already softening up. I got a medium wristlet to match the sage color bag and hooked it to the key clip for things I need to bring up quickly. It's large enough to fit in a lot of things, but doesn't overwhelm my 5'4" petite frame nor is it too heavy. I especially love how comfortably it fits on the shoulder. The sage color goes with a lot, but I'd like to get another one in a neutral color. My only complaints are, I wish they wouldn't make the bottom corners point outwards because the corners will wear quicker, and I wish it had more inside pockets. Other than that, it's a fabulous bag and my favorite Dooney since the all-weather leather. Please make it in some pastel colors for spring, for those of us who don't care for bright colors. And as always, Zappos service was excellent. I had the bag the very next day, less than 24 hours later!

I can not tell you how much I love this bag! I just ordered "Taupe" and I already have 3 other colors of the same bag (black,brown & sage). For me, being 5'7.5"-5'8" this bag is perfectly sized to meet my daily needs & isn't too big. I agree with other Zappies (Donna, from Clarksville, GA) that it is stiff and doesn't seem to slouch and the initial smell of the bag is off, but after a couple days of use its perfect. I couldn't be more please with my bags. Not to mention the service from Zappos is perfect!

My experience with this bag mirrors almost exactly the review from Donna of Gainesville. I saw Palomino on sale and quickly got one. I was extremely disappointed when I opened my package and took my first look at the bag, but decided to give it a try anyway. Boy, was my first impression wrong! I am now so pleased with my bag that I went ahead and got it in another color. I may buy it in a few more! And no, Donna from Gainesville, you are not the only one that thinks that Palomino is a perfect bag for fall! I completely agree!

I had wanted this bag in Palamino for so long, so when it went on sale, I quickly grabbed one up. When my bag arrived I was so disappointed. I hated everything about it except the beautiful color. The height of the bag was insane, the short strap was awkward, the zippers stuck, and the bag smelled horrible. I was heartbroken, but I wanted to love this bag so badly I decided to give it a try. When I loaded my stuff into the bag it immediately looked good, and when I first put it on my shoulder it felt great. It has now been four weeks, and I am in love with it! The leather softened and slouched, making the strap just the right length, the zippers worked themselves out within days and now glide smoothly, and the bad textile/chemical smell dissipated in about two days. The bag is beautiful and so classy looking. I will absolutely buy it in another color, Navy I think. Also, I read every review of this bag I could find on many websites, and every single person who said they bought the Palamino, said they bought it for summer. I bought mine for fall. I think this color is perfect for the season. It is the exact color of a beautiful fall leaf and looks so good with my jewel tone sweaters. I can't believe I am the only person who thinks this. Palamino color just looks like fall to me. Love my bag! You get a lot of bag for your money with this one.

This is a very comfortable, stylish bag. Overall I like it very much. However, the leather is very stiff so it doesn't crush down as much as I would like. The strap is a little bit adjustable, which is good because I lengthened it about an inch. Also this bag had a very strong chemical smell when I opened the package and it took a few days to air out. This is my first Dooney & Bourke so I don't know if this is normal. I expected a nice rich leather smell like my Fossil bags. The outside pockets are very convenient for cell phone and keys.

I do love the bag, great color (calf I think) and it is roomy and not too heavy. I use a little wristlet inside and carry essentials. Two drawbacks: lack of shoulder strap makes long term carrying difficult (with 2 little ones I need my hands free), and the two-part strap tends to catch on things and bend, not comfy. Otherwise, the bag is great!

I love Zappos, the best online shopping site period. That said, this Dooney sac is not for me. Consider a different style if you are a small person. I'm just under 5'3" and small framed. This bag was huge on me; it hung from my armpit to mid-thigh, and it's quite heavy. It weighs 2.6 pounds empty on my postal scale. The color was very pretty, and the leather was good quality, but I can't imagine anyone filling this bag and then hauling it around all day. For me, the bag would have to be made in a type of parachute material to be light enough in this size. Also, the top of the bag, where the main zipper is, is not designed well; it sticks up under your arm instead of taking on the dropped shape of most hobo/sac styles. The leather seems too stiff to allow the top of the bag to fold over as is shown in the pictures. Perhaps it would soften in time. I still like Dooney bags, just need a different style. If you're tall and can carry off a very large weighty bag, you might enjoy this one; just not a good match for someone petite.

We all know that Zappos is great! Thank you, Zappos, for your quick response to my order. It arrived in less than one Day. This handbag is my love. I have six colors. Most of my handbags are from Dooney. You cannot beat the quality for the price. And, the Calf Medium is the perfect size for the money. It is roomy. The front pockets are great! I purchased the two zipper cosmetic case to put receipts in. The handbag holds up very well. Simply a great style!

Great handbag! I ordered the medium in black and it is plenty large enough. Great size for everyday use as a handbag and also large enough to use as a handbag/tote and hold things like book, water bottle etc. Plan on buying another one, but just can't decide on what color! Too many choices! As always, great Zappos service can't be beat. I give this handbag 5 stars hands down!

This was my first purchase from Zappos and I am sold, both on their merchandise AND customer service. I have bought Dooney's for many years from either their website, local department store or from home shopping channels. Zappos has a much better selection, better prices, much better customer service as well as better shipping! This bag is my new favorite. Very roomy, classic design that will be used for many years to come. I purchased the black and I liked it so much that I came back and bought a green one as well. The quality of the leather is fantastic. Don't be afraid of the strap drop length--after just a couple of wearings, the leather softens up to slouch down and give ample room over the shoulder. Beautiful bag. I would like to come back in the spring to get the bone color as well.

If you buy Dooney and Burke quality will never be an issue. The same is true for this bag. Let me make it clear that this is a big bag, even though it says it is medium size. I happen to love big bags. So it is great for me. The leather and craftmanship are first rate and the bag is easy to handle and carry. Plenty of room inside for all you need to carry. I am very happy with my purchase.

I love this bag. I needed something that could take me from soccer mom to professional woman day-to-day as I work professionally outside the home 3 days/week and meet with high profile clients. It is the perfect size for that and the outside zippers and inside zipper are great for organizing. I get compliments on it constantly. I got it in the yellow, but will probably buy it again in a darker color for winter. I love that it has one strap instead of 2 and the weight isn't bad at all.

I am a frequent shopper at Zappos. It never ceases to amaze me that I can always find what I want, reasonably priced and delivered the next day! I was happy to find this Dooney and Bourke Sak in the Green on sale. How great is that? The medium size will hold most anything you wish, fits nicely on the shoulder with a shorter drop that allows better control of the purse. The color is a perfect shade, the leather is soft and will get better with wear. The strap is stylish and substantial; There is nothing I don't like about this bag. I hope to get another in Palomino.

First of all I have to say that Zappos gives the very best service. Second, I love Dooney and Burke purses and this one met up to all my expectations. The leather is great and the sage color goes with everything. The zipper pockets in front are great for keys and cell phones. I might even get the same purse in black and would certainly go to Zappos for this or any Dooney and Burke purse. I LOVE ZAPPOS.

I just started a new job and decided to treat myself. This is the first 'designer' handbag I've every bought. I did my research and chose this one in the end because: Classic shape! Trends will eventually go out of style, but this bag will not. The sophisticated style! This bag simply looks expensive because of the quality of the leather and the gold hardware. The solid color makes it very versatile, too. Comes in so many colors! I am instantly attracted to anything purple, but the red and blue and green options made it a very tough decision. Medium size! I'm short and petite; this bag, though extremely roomy, doesn't overwhelm my stature. I am absolutely in love with my bag (I chose purple in the end). It is eye-catching, envy-worthy, and will last me forever. My first designer purchase may be my last.

I have been looking for a purse like this for months. I just love it. Its even better looking than the pictures. I needed a purse with compartments on the outside, but not to hard to get into. Still the purse had to be durable and stylish. Well, this Dooney more than accomplishes that.

I ordered this bag in both blue and sage. I loved both colors, but decided to keep the blue. The blue is beautiful! It's not navy, it's lighter/brighter and gorgeous! I find the straps on Dooney & Bourke's tend to be short, but this one is adjustable and can easily be made a bit longer in two places. It works great for me! It's large and roomy inside and although you have to push the top portion down to make it sag like in the picture, it's easy to do and it stays that way. I love it and would definitely recommend it!

Stunning Bag. Love it! This is my first D&B bag, but certainly won't be my last. The quality is top notch. The Red is gorgeous! I had to let out the strap fixtures and buckles as far as they would go to get the shoulder drop. This is a BIG bag, not really much like a medium sized one. The listed dimensions seem incorrect. Can't imagine ever needing anything larger. I plan to get another color.

I love this bag! The leather is absolutely gorgeous - soft and the color is beautiful. I have it in black. I hope Dooney comes out with other more earth tone colors in the fall in this bag. I’ve seen the bag in the brighter colors (pink and blue) and they are beautiful, but I wouldn’t use them year round. The ONLY thing I would change about this bag is I would make the strap a little bit longer, but even with that, it’s still a fabulous bag.

This D&B is very nice, very roomy. The leather is superb and looks like a super expensive bag, but the price is reasonable. The zippers are stiff like other reviewers have mentioned, but this will work out. The inside storage pockets are too small for a blackberry, but the outside pocket works much better, they are larger and good for access. Overall, beautiful bag can't wait to buy another. Great service from Zappos!

Coming back for my second color with this fab Dooney purchase. It's a great unstructured type of bag, leather is beautiful, and the medium size is about as much as one could handle. You can stuff a TON in here. You absolutely do NOT need to order the "large" size, unless you're thinking of this as some type of luggage. Despite the size it is fairly light weight for a nice quality leather-- lighter than Dooney's vachetta so it’s easy to carry. I had the hot pink, which, despite its name, isn't an in your face hot pink. It's a gorgeous all year deeper/darker pink, but not childish. Highly recommend this if you are someone who needs a larger bag for work or your outings.

This is a beautiful bag, very roomy and sturdily made, as is to be expected from Dooney and Bourke. This is my primary summer bag (I bought it in white) and I love it! It is very large for a medium, so I would recommend that you buy this size, as I think the large one would be way too large, unless you are a larger person. I am 5'2" and weigh 115 lbs., so this is large on me. But I wanted a large bag and this one fits the bill just fine. My daughter has this same one in black. We are both the same size. She loves hers as much as I do mine. You can't go wrong with this bag!!
