Default All about the Dooney
I couldn't find a thread anywhere for Dooney & Bourkes, I guess their just not as popular as other designer bags.
So here let's post our Dooney & Bourke Collections, from bags,wallets,and accessories, to clothings,umbrellas,and rainboots! Also post question you have about D&B or great deals and sales you've found. Post pictures of what you carry in your D&B. Everything Dooney

This is my show case below. (I used to have 7 D&B's but I had to sell them on eBay to make a little extra money for college. I'm sad though that I had to I kinda miss some of them.)

Dooney & Bourke
Signature IT barrel bag ( my absolute favorite)
Signature IT coin purse
Florentine Vacchetta medium zip around wallet.
Small red leather coin purse
Signature yellow flap wristlet

Large Bubble Bee Duffle Bag
Signature Bags


With the Signature IT barrel bag, that bag is my lucky charm! About a year ago I was carrying that bag and my family and I went to the Mummers Parade which is held in our town every October. We parked in a church parking lot sponsored by the Boy Scout Troop where we park every year. I left my bag in the car and stuffed it under the passenger side seat. When the parade was over we headed back to the car and my mom said "be careful theres broken glass all over the ground" well when we looked up the Back door to the passengers side was busted out...someone had broken into our car and took my purse... only my purse. My brother had his iPod sitting in the console between the back seats. He must have done a hit,grab, and go! I was devasted!!! We went back the next day to look around and I could find anything. About a week and a half later we got some call from a guy that lived down town saying his wife was out in their yard with her kids and noticed something white in their bushes. MY PURSE!! We met him that day to get it. My dad offered him a reward, but he wouldn't take it, he was just glad to see it returned. My wallet was still in it but my license,credit card,and paycheck from work was gone! Along with my iPod,sunglasses, and the little bit of change that was in my wallet. Apparently the person her stole it didn't realize that my bag was worth $175.00, but I lucky to have it back. So thats why it's my miracle/lucky bag!!!

What an AWESOME thread!!! In fact, I see that we have the same coin holder! I have it in Brown T'Moro! And I love your florentine vachetta wallet! Very classy!

I love the IT stuff, but I hate that it yellows over time, I wish they would fix that!

Well I will post my collection in the next couple of days! I have a couple alto bags, coin holder, and a key chain to show!

Great idea for a thread! Dooney doesn't get the credit it's deserved!

Omg! I'm so glad it's not just mine then! I hate that it's turned yellow, maybe it's from using it too much, I don't know, but it's frustrating!!!

Oh my and I just looked at the picture and it's hideous looking the yellowing is so obvious. But yes D&B does deserve some credit on this forum, they have amazing stuff, and I love them because they are a little more affordable than other designer bags.

I just bought a Victoria tote in the sport duck pattern. I wanted something roomy, casual and inexpensive and it fit my criteria perfectly. Plus, I think the quality is just as good as Coach. I'm pretty impressed with it so far.

Default These are my dooneys, I love them
I love dooney because its bags are practical and durable. Dooney bourke makes some beautiful bags, you just need to look at its entire collection to find them. I don't buy expensive bags becuase I think some mid-priced handbags such as dooney bourke, fossil fifty-four and brahmin are just as good in quality as some of the high end bags.

I do not have any but I have always loved that letter carrier. I always liked their styles and the leather. I think people will have something to say about every line of bag. I agree with Midlander about the mid priced bags and even better finding them at TJM. I have beautiful bags but I do not display them because they are not your, what some would say "high end" but they are leather and great quality. I will take pics of my bags one day.

I'm soooo excited about this thread. I love Dooney and Bourke!! I will take some pics of my collection and try to post them soon. I agree the quality of their bags is great and they are not as expensive as other brands.

I have to laugh! I just got this Dooney from QVC to use for work: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/v....A45875.cc.143

It arrived today and I took it to work and I thought the women were going to mall me for it! They were SO impressed with this bag and mind you, I've carried Prada, Jimmy Choo, LV and a few other high enders and they never even gave them a second look! But the big D wowed them and amazed them.

I've always liked Dooney and I have a couple of their all weather leather pieces and I'd not give them up for anything.
