I tortured a leather bag! (for good measure)
Ойын-сауық
Welcome to my review of the Dooney & Bourke All-Weather Leather Crossbody 22! I put this bag through rigorous tests to see if it lives up to its waterproof and all-weather claims.
In this video, I subjected the bag to rain, sun, snow, and ice water to test its durability. This process usually ruins regular leather, but I wanted to see how this "All-Weather Leather" would hold up.

Glad you like them!
The original All Weather Leather bags were made in the USA. The leather on those bags was actually thicker and the hardware was solid brass. They were also unlined like vintage Coach bags. Like so many companies though, the bags are now made overseas to save on costs. Still a quality product though!
I would like to see you deconstruct one of their Florentine leather bags. I've had my eye on one of their satchels for a while now.

I have that bag and love it! One complaint that people have is that it is heavy. It is a heavier bag than my other ones, especially since I carry a lot of stuff, but the bag is very very nice!

Yes! That’s why we love it!
Btw, I also live in DFW. Laying the bag on the car's hood in the dead of Summer was the biggest test of all. The fact that it survived the hood's 150° is what REALLY proved how amazing the leather is.😂
D & B bags aren’t so trendy, but they’re solid and quality, especially the vintage Made In America ones. I have several, both recent and vintage, and they’re both classy and absolute workhorses. I’d rather have “all go and no show” rather than vice versa, myself, if I had to choose.
Would love to see you deconstruct a Dooney and Bourke Saffiano bag, and compare it to Prada and Michael Kors.
I've had 2 of their bags for 30 years and they are beautiful. The bucket bag looks new and no other brand compares to it.
These vintage D&B all weather bags are some of the best I've ever had the pleasure to touch and hold in my 30+ years collecting bags. D&B are basically unknown here in Northern Europe, the ones I bought from the USA wouldn't be worth anything here if I tried to sell them, noone cares about them. Mine are all black pebbled leather, all weather.

Sir, because of you, I just bought a bag from Rebecca Minkoff. And now I am looking in the website of Doorney and Bourke.😂
2:13 you should take a look at the other line that the Dooney founder created - Henry’s Leather Co. Their Henry’s Crossbody bag is a close dupe to the Hermes Evelyn. On the archive of the Henry’s website, the pebble grain leathers come from Les Tanneries Roux, and they use palladium hardware.

Great video! My first bag was a Dooney in the 90’s so the brand will always have sentimental value. I would love reviews for Tory Burch quilted, Mulberry and Kate spade quilted.
Love my Dooney and Bourke bags. I have some vintage that still look fabulous.
please do FLORENTINE SATCHEL BAG!!!!!!! I have never clicked on a video so fast lol!!!
Thanks for covering this! Their leather quality tbh is amazing.. one of the most amazing leathers in handbags i have ever felt. I own a few and they have been with me for 8 years.. tbh the quality of their works are more impressive than so many “luxury” brands
My favorite handbag brand for over 30 years now!
I was so excited when I saw this pop up! I’m especially excited to see it deconstructed and put to the test. I knew it was a great brand. This is what the website says about the hardware. Vintage double 24k gold and black gold plated hardware, at a 0.25 micron thickness. A thicker plating would probably raise the price point a bit. Thanks for the very informative look into Dooney & Bourke. 😁
I have a couple of D+B bags. One of them is from 1985! Still holding up beautifully the other one is a newer one from a few years ago- like new! Dooney bags last forever!
Wow you went all in on D&B ❤ It’s one of my favorite brands I love the natural Florentine the best !

The quality checks can be more hit and miss with modern dooney but it’s still a good brand for the price point
I love your voice! Thanks for sharing your lovely *gtdupe* bag / wardrobe collection :) I actually love how you store your collection and definitely an inspiration for me in my future home
I’m so happy you made this video! I have a few vintage D & B bags! It’s to know they’re as good as I knew they were!
Love these videos! Terrific personality! ♥️
Dooney is known for their All Weather Leather. It's so crazy how they have perfected it so well that it has minimal finish while STILL being "weatherproof." But, yes, their dust bags are some of the worst on the market!😂😩 Thank you for doing a Dooney review! PLEEEASE review something from their Florentine collection. It's full grain, vegetable tanned leather.
Hi 👋 Tanner fellow Texan Here!! I’m not surprised but I am relieved 😅 us Dooney lovers say the same about the dust bag but I would rather have a great bag at a great price than a fancy dustbag. It keeps the dust off anyway 😂 justbFYI they source a lot if their leather from Italy but their Alto Collection in particular is the one that is actually made in Italy and reflects the price. I have been a Dooney lover since I was in highschool when I could not afford it and finally I have well let’s just say several 😏 it’s an excellent brand I am so glad you did a review on a current bag and I am sooo happy it past the test. To me Dooney is beyond luxury. THANKS FOR REVIEW and evil 😈 Tanner you were a blast. BTW I’ve been watching for a long time this one got you me to subscribe. 😉 👛🛍️🚢🙏🦆
You should do a Dior bag! There’s a huge scandal involved with how they mass produce their items. Your price analysis is very spot on with the pricing of these bags!
I had a few D&B bags, but gave the last one to a friend a few months ago. I loved them all, but needed space for a couple of newer bags, and know that after 20+ years, I got my use out of them. Besides, the forest green hobo bag, which came with a change purse, was a great bag-but its lack of structure made it impossible dor me to find anything. This is a me problem, not a bag problem. There was a while there in the 2000s when D&B had some It bags, but I always put them in the Coach category before they hit it with the Tabby. Simply american leather brands with a ton of variety and bags that wear extremely well.
Injecting humour and slice-of-life moments: such a nice touch Volkan, this might help broaden your appeal to a wider market! And, as usual, kudos to a fantastic review of an item from a well-respected but currently not very popular brand!
Another great video! You're reigniting my passion for bags... so much that I went back to my cupboard just now to see what I have held on to. I found a vintage mulberry chilling with some radley bags and a dkny vintage canvas bag. I sold them on, but I had a handful of cowboys bags, they're fairly popular out here in the Netherlands. Their older models were made out of really thick, heavy hides. Hence why I sold them, they were just too heavy for me. Would you consider taking a modern cowboys bag apart Tanner? I would love to see what you think of them! They don't fall under the category 'luxury' but are they good value for money?
Thanks alot tanner!! For giving us such a honest review :)

PSA: if you have a quite old Dooney that’s faded a little, don’t apply pigmented leather cream to it, as the excellence of the All-Weather Leather will come back to bite you! The leather won’t absorb the color and it will look blotchy and bad. Ask me how I know… 🤦🏼♀️
The Dooney and Bourke Florentine leather collection is vegetable tanned Italian leather. It’s one of their higher end lines and the construction and hardware quality are a step up overall. Since you have said that you love a good natural leather finish, you should take a look at those.

I remember Etienne Aigner having a great reputation over 30 years ago, but I’m always concerned about what happens to a brand when it’s founder dies and I couldn’t find any info that indicates that the brand remained in the hands of family or anyone committed to maintaining the brand’s quality. I have an Aigner bag that’s over 30 years old. It’s a structured leather bag in tightly woven leather that looks like raffia. It’s a classic design and it’s in excellent condition. The bags I saw on the brand’s website looked like they’re inspired by the current trends and outside of bearing the classic Aigner horseshoe logo, none of the bags gave off classic Aigner vibes. But the times do change.

@@wannabe41 Agree completely. I was a huge fan in the past, but the brand has changed hands several times and now they've dropped the Etienne part and are just going by Aigner. I even have some questions about their "story" as well, and the pricing is way more than what it ever was in the past, even with inflation. That's why I suggested them, I get fakery vibes big time.

Try their higher end line- Henry’s. It’s supposed to have palladium hardware
It is possible to make aniline leather just as waterproof. Triple tanned, chrome, mineral and veg combined with high density oil and waxes and pfte stuffed at multiple stages. There is also russia leather if all natural is wanted. Finishing the leather with pigment is just a cheap practice that has no place in quality craftmanship. Also considering the bad QC of this bag i would not call that price multiplicator justified. Thanks for letting us know to avoid it though!

I would like to understand more about the craftsmanship and leather quality of the brand Balenciaga, particularly their edge finishing, stitching, and leather quality. There's very little testing or information available on these aspects.

@@HauteGemsDallas Really? In fact, the advertising incident that caused a stir is already a thing of the past as of 2022. I don't quite understand why some people still consider it so important. As far as I know, the brand Balenciaga always incorporates elements that may be satirical into its designs or advertisements. I think that particular ad, although not very dignified, could also have been intended to satirize certain things. You may not know, but unlike in Europe and America, there wasn't such a huge wave of protests in the Asian region. Although there was an impact, sales in the Asian region have continued to steadily rise after the designer's apology. This also proves that consumers in Asia actually don't mind this controversy as much as you do.
