She also uses one to carry her paper work and such back and forth to work, and when that bag is full...that sucker is heavy! But the straps are still in tact!

I'd go with a D&B or my other love Coach :)

Btw the Juliette your looking at is insanely gorgeous. I love it in purple!!!!

How did you know that purple is my fave??

Haha I love purple too!!!

Question: Does D&B have bag cleaner out? Like how Coach has cleaner you can buy for their bags?

If not, does anyone know how to clean a D&B?

^ I don't know own any D&B or Coach but I've seen enough to know they are pretty similar in material, right? Couldn't you use the Coach cleaner on you D&B bags?

Thats what I was thinking of doing, but I'm just a litte "iffy" about doing that. I don't know :)

I carried Coach many, many years ago. Then I switched to Dooney. I bought quite a few bags, wound up giving most of them to my daughter, but I still have some vintage pieces from back then and a couple of the more current leather bags. Then I switched back to Coach. From there I went to Louis Vuitton and pretty much carry LV now. On a shopping channel,(QVC), I saw a Dooney & Bourke show that featured the commemorative pieces that Dooney is bringing back. I fell in love with the commemorative satchel they were showing. It's shaped like an LV Speedy, so I ordered it. It arrived today and it's wonderful. It is AWL in Tan. I think it's definitely a classic style and will last forever. Being AWL, I don't have to worry about carrying it to work if the weather isn't so great. It's really a great bag!

Thats awesome. I'd love to see pictures. I saw the D&B anniversary special on QVC a few weeks ago. I absolutely love their new leather bags and the designs. Right now I've got my eyes on the Small Odine bag, I'm trying to find one, if not I'll just keep saving up to buy it off the site.
