My new Sorrento dressed up!
I just got this off white Sorrento 30 with pockets during the I Love Dooney FIREWORKS sale and it arrived super fast!!
I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Sorrento, but I am really happy with it for the $$ I paid … all in with tax and shipping she came to $150.46. I would definitely not pay regular price or even the regular sales price for a Sorrento as it came with some sloppy glazing, a small scuff (luckily on the back) and a small scratch on the metal Dooney patch. It’s going to see wear anyway so I’m fine with keeping it as is. And I have been wanting something white for a while now. I would usually wait for a light colored mini or micro Florentine to become available, but when I saw the sales price on the Sorrento, I thought the leather style might be a better option when dealing with maintenance and cleaning up marks and staining/color transfer anyway. (And at this price, if it gets some stains, it won’t hurt my heart too much!)
It is a bit larger than I hoped—lots of volume in this bag!—but when it’s not filled up, I can push the sides in to give it a slimmer profile look. This one is about 13” across the bottom, and I’m used to carrying something in the 10-11” width range so it definitely feels a little grand. But I LOVE the exterior pockets!! I really like an exterior pocket on my bags for my phone when shopping and with this one I can easily slip my iPhone 17 Pro with case in the back pocket (though the phone is longer than the pocket depth, so the top inch or so of the phone sticks out).
Here she is dressed up in two looks. I really like the dinosaur look (charms from Amazon)! I will probably mostly wear it with that. I really love the Toy Story charms but those charms make a lot of clunking noises and make the bag feel extra heavy. On its own, the bag isn’t a bad size or weight, but it is about the largest bag I’m willing to carry anymore. It’s a bit of a behemoth next to my Micro Florentine. I do like the strap that came with it—it seems comfortable to wear, though I may use a webbed strap on days where I am carrying it a lot.
Hope these details help anyone on the fence about ordering a Sorrento during this sale. I say go for it!
