Coach vs Dooney

I think both have some really nice styles/colours and both have some scary bags, but that goes for every line of bags. No coach in my closet right now :( , I used to have a gorgeous black one but I used it till it fell apart. I have a Dooney AWL and I love that it can get wet; I walked right through a sprinkler today without batting an eye!
 
I dropped by TJMaxx a few hours ago and saw some Coach bags for sale there. I also saw a few Dooney and Bourke. Somehow, even browsing the websites of both Coach and Dooney I seem to be attracted more by Dooneys because they come in lots of different styles and colors.

Coach has much less variety in styles than Dooney, or so it seems to me. Anyone for or against?


1st off, I LOVE TJ MAXX!!!!:heart: :heart: :heart:
I ve never bought a dooney or coach there..I did just see a coach there. it was a white duffle with gold leather trim..but it was so evening looking so i didnt buy it.

Coach and dooney...I have both...
I love the coach canvas, it holds up real well...Mine shows no sign of wear...I do love my leather handle, it is snake skin:heart:

But if u are going with all leather..Go for the dooney...
Or even a fun ice pop covered bag...Dooney is the way to go...
:wlae:
 
I think that Dooney is appealing to a younger crowd. While Coach attracts a more sophisticated, mature crowd. This is true for certain styles. I believe that the Classic Dooney bags are appealing to an older audience while the Hampton styles and patchwork styles attract a younger crowd. I personally like both for different reasons.
 
I don't know, I really think that I prefer Coach to Dooney & Bourke. I seems that Dooney either has really really small purses, or they have huge ones that could fit a small child inside of them. I also don't like a lot of their prints, I think some look too busy. The bumblebee and Popsicle ones are cute, but a little too juvenile. I also get a little discouraged because I am a big person and Dooney & Bourke tends to have small strap drops on their purses. Plus, I think Coach is a little bit cheaper. But, to each it's own. I will say that I prefer Dooney and Bourke over Louis Vitton and other such designers.

Lets Duke it out girls! :boxing:Coach or Dooney?
 
I like Coach better, but I think the OP is right to point out that Dooney has more variety than Coach. Coach does recycle the same styles year after year, but I like to think of them as classic and tried and true rather than repetitious. I think Dooney's variety actually turns me off to the brand a little bit - it seems like no style sticks around long, esp. now that AWL is gone. I don't want to pay 300+ for a bag with no staying power. Plus I just like the leather on Coach bags better, and I'm a fan of leather bags.
 
I like dooney better than coach. I wanted to like coach so much because so non-monogrammed styles are decent. Their prices have increased quite a bit these past years, and I don't think their quality has improved proportionally. For the current price on some of their bags, I always ended up buying a premium designer bag.
 
im not going to lie to you ladies...

I am fond of both Coach and Dooney, i own a couple of bags from both of em. Couldnt live with out em.
Though i will admitt that i bought a dooney first.
I go crazy for both of them :graucho::yahoo:
 
I'm not a true devotee to either brand, but I much prefer Coach to Dooney. I will not carry a bag from a brand you can buy on a home shopping network :push: Even on a lot of their leather bags they find it neccessary to add some gaudy detail- overall I think Coach shows more contraint. The only Dooney I've ever really been able to stand is the leather hobo with a clip across the front.
