I have both Dooney and Coach bags, (A LOT)more Coach than Dooney though. It's what you really like, for example right now there is a Dooney Zebra bag that I am in LOVE with but no Coach that I'm interested in at all. I mean if you like Dooney and want to get a Coach who cares its not like the Dooney police are going to come after you
Afterall its YOU that will be using the bag not your in-laws.
