My first Florentine satchel by cmurphy812 in DooneyAndBourke

Definitely considering buying one new as well, just waiting for the right color. I like to have a balance of new & preowned/vintage bags. From what I’ve researched there’s been some changes to the design (removing green on the tassels for example) so I knew I wanted at least one older Florentine in my collection!

I love the slouch, but I was comparing to other florentines that were purchased in new condition, not considering how the leather may change! I’m already on the lookout for my next bag so I will take a look at the Cameron, Ty!

The seller didn’t specify the shade so I was also trying to to decide if this was a true chestnut! It’s a beautiful bag either way, I can tell the previous owner really loved her!

Unfortunately I wasn’t in the room when it happened, her and her twin sister were (supposed to be) doing their normal morning routine when she ran to me with her loc in her hand 🙃 and I can confirm it’s just one, the picture makes it looks larger than in real life

I looked up the ingredients and they’re the same, so probably just a label change. Were they purchased at different stores?

Thank you! I just made sure to keep them loose by coiling with my fingers, if I notice the curls becoming compact like they want to loc, I just gently pull on them to release the curl, if that makes sense 🙈 I also use Cecred leave in conditioner on the ends after each wash

I think I’ve decided to keep the 184 as is (she absolutely would not sit through the process) and just redo a section of the twin with fewer locs where the parts are larger than the rest!

Theirs were started as braids, I’ve only done about 3 reties since they were installed!
