Dooney & Bourke Handbags & Purses

Browse recent Dooney & Bourke bags below:

New to the scene over at Zappos, Dooney & Bourke handbags! One little fabulous essential that caught my eye is the Nylon Triple Zip Flat Cosmetic Pouch from the new Summer 2009 Sport Duck Collection, the Fabric Line.

Details: This spacious nylon pouch will keep all your little personals neatly organized. Features 3 separate compartments: one main one on the top which is zipper protected then two front exterior zip pockets for the little stuff. The interior is lined with hot pink material. Now for the most important point, dimensions: 7 1/4″ wide x 1/2″ deep x 5″ high.

The price.. ready to be blown away. A thrifty thrill, the Sport Duck Purse retails for only $30!

The pouch above is the little accessory to the new Sport Duck collection, bags freckled with the silhouette of a sleepy mallard duck. To be honest I don’t think this style is that bad on the Large Overnight Duffle style. It has a sort of vintage vibe to it, which I draws me in. And the price is ridiculously reasonable – only $148!

Side Note: It is very rare for me to actually come out posting about a D&B style that I like. When I think of the brand the first image that comes to mind is cartoon sketched, color crayoned bags from the Grafic Line, which is obviously targeted towards the preteen market. I’m in my early (come tomorrow, mid) 20’s, with a taste for designer items. So you wont see me prancing in my Prada Pumps down the street in a Dior Dress with a Dooney Bumble Bee or Candy Wrappers bag on arm. It would never happen.

However of course there are other styles, such as the more classic Leather Line, for those who simply don’t like cartoon images. Like for example the Dooney & Bourke Calf Large Zipper Pocket Sac.. simple, functional as a perfect day bag, comes in some stylish colors and most importantly there is no crayoned in graphic images. By the way, it’s currently on sale for only $185!

Patent leather is always fun especially if there’s a large variety of colors to choose from. Too bad I’m not brave enough to carry the style. I’ve always admired Bagista’s who sport large colorful patent bags, but as for myself, I just can’t seem to pull it off. So the glossy bag trend isn’t for me, but what about a small leather accessory? I think a small good would feed the patent leather crave and how perfect would one of these be. Nice job Dooney & Bourke on creating the Patent Framed Coin Purse; they’re actually wearable, cute and not tacky! I’ll admit they’re pretty simple as they do resemble any typical framed pouch, but the fact that you get your choice of color out of fifteen shades is great. Fuchsia, Plum, and Cherry would be the ones that stand out the most or you can always play it safe and go for classics of Black, Brown, and White. Measuring in at 4.25″ x 1.25″ x 3.25”, you can find these little pieces carrying an awesome price tag of only $45! Anybody else a fan of Dooney’s coin purse?

Dooney & Bourke Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch
No offense to Dooney & Bourke, but their designs have been so far off the handbag radar lately that they might as well not even exist. Why? Well, quite frankly, they are just plain ugly. Plus they are way too kiddie looking for the hardcore bagista. I understand that the company wanted to explore other markets, but why not make some normal looking bags that adults can appreciate? So when the original Hayden bag was first introduced, everyone at TBF was surprised by how non-Dooney like it was. Of course it wasn’t a show stopper by any means, but it was way better than the bag Emma Roberts designed! And now it looks like our friend Hayden Panettiere has gotten her creative juices flowing again. Meet the Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch. It’s not too bad looking, in my opinion, for a Dooney bag. But I can’t picture myself actually buying it. I like the shape and the contrasting trim. But what it up with the lion head? Apparently it is meant to represent Hayden’s astrological sign (Leo) and it’s 24kt gold-plated too boot! Personally, I would prefer the clutch without such an embellishment.

The Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch is available in Royal Blue, Red, Fuchsia, Purple, Ivory, and Black. It retails for $295. Find it at Dooney.com. You can also find Dooney & Bourke at Macy’s

Dooney & Bourke Large Multi DB
Remember Dooney & Bourke’s “It” collection, you know, the one with the multihued miniature “DB” logo which made its debut months after Takashi Murakami’s infamous Multicolore line for the French luxury brand Louis Vuitton? OK… the long question with excess information was unnecessary; as I’m pretty sure you gals know what I’m talking about. Whether you owned an “It” piece or if you despised the line from the beginning, you must admit, they were pretty darn popular for quite some time. As you can see, the All-American brand is not done yet, as they’ve released yet another rainbow logo line, meet the Large Multi DB. I can’t claim to hate it, as I myself own other logoed designer pieces, but Dooney has got one really boring design going on here. The font, the repetitive hues, and the way the DB’s overlap is pretty much tacky, there is just no way I can like this design. Ladies, what’s your imput? If you dig this line, you can find a wide range of handbag silhouettes to fit your taste with prices ranging from the $100-$200+, pick your price! Or as I’ll suggest, just wait until they hit the sales rack.

Dooney & Bourke Sweetheart Purse Line
The symbolic heart has got to be American Brand Dooney & Bourkes favorite symbol to doodle onto their products. Do you all agree with me? Just picture most of Dooney’s colorful accessories and you’re sure to find a heart symbol on it somewhere. I wonder if it’s brought back by popular demand or simply a case of designer-block, but may I introduce to you Bagista’s the latest hearts design by Dooney & Bourke, meet the Sweetheart line!

I apologize to any Dooney & Bourke fans, but I can’t help to wonder what is wrong with its staff? Why can’t they seem to put down the box of color pencils and design something more sophisticated? They have such a strong company and the capability to hire actual designing artists. Until now, I speak for myself when I say that I’ll just sit back and see what else Dooney will apply to their goods. Although I honestly think I’ve seen it all. As for the “Sweetheart”, they’re not horrid, but just something I would never consider buying or wearing. Maybe if I belonged to the early teens crowd I’d be a fan, but other than that, I’ll keep my distance from this line.

Dooney & Bourke Exclusive Canvas Tote
How does the All-American brand Dooney & Bourke rank with you bagistas? Some people find their handbags to be fun and unique, while others simply dislike the brand all together. For the past couple of years, Dooney & Bourke has been criticized for releasing incredibly awkward designs on their handbags and accessories. Bumblebees, Candies, Texas, and Miami are a couple of names of the not so popular designs by Dooney. For quite some time now, I was really looking forward to seeing a plain and normal looking handbag, and recently, the brand finally released one.

Meet the Exclusive Canvas Totes by Dooney & Bourke. These simple totes lack those wacky designs Dooney is known for, yet they seem great to take to the beach or on a picnic. Although they are “good�? different, they are also quite boring! That boring plaided pattern just doesn’t do anything for me. Yes this tote is available in a wide variety of hues, but I just can’t imagine myself spending even the low retail price of $120 on one of these bags. What do you ladies think? Would you wear this bag, or is this line simply another Dooney & Bourke letdown?

Patents: Pick Your Style, Pick Your Price
Patents! It’s the so-called “new” fashion trend for spring 2008. So what does that mean? Be on the look out for patent coats, shoes, accessories, and (of course) handbags. Most likely, every store in the mall and every boutique downtown is going to be littered with patents.

Do I like patents? Sure, I do! Who doesn’t like patents? Somehow patents just make every color look more delicious. Red patent reminds you of a shining red apple and blue patent reminds you of the deepest, blue ocean. Just simply being patent can make all the difference in what would otherwise be a “boring” bag. I can’t imagine I’m the only one that feels this way, otherwise patents would cease to exist. But nope, they have been holding on strong season after season. Why not just say that patents are a classic now and call it good?

So what do I have pictured above? Well, I thought it would be fun to show patent bags from two different price ranges. I swear I was trying to find bags that were comparable in size and appearance, so please forgive me if something looks a little off! So whether you’re in the mood for a tiny clutch or a super-sized tote, you are sure to find one that’s just perfect for you in patent!

Exotic Collections by Dooney & Bourke
During my last visit to the DB website, I was very surprised to discover some great new lines featuring exotic skins and a few new handbag styles. Usually, my stay over in Fuglyville (dooney.com) is always shortened by some new disgusting and far from appealing line of handbags. But this time, I was actually quite impressed with two new lines that I saw, which are the Ostrich and Croc Bags collections. Since I am totally in love with these exotic skins in particular, there were a couple of bags that I would actually buy from them. Also, colorful and bright exotic materials are definitely a hot trend for warmer weather.

The first collection that I saw was the Ostrich line. It includes about six different handbag styles and seven colors to choose from. My favorite one is the Cinzia Bag, shown above, in either camel, mustard or fucshia. Though, I wish there were more color choices for this line. But I love how the shape of this bag is simple yet creative with two small slanted pockets in the front. It comes in three different sizes which are small, medium and large. For me, I’d probably opt for the small size, which is actually roomy and measures 12″x 5″x 18″. And for a price of $295, I definitely think this bag is worth it.

The second and last exotic line is the embossed Croco collection. I’m such a sucker for croc handbags, whether the skin is faux or not, so my opinion is probably biased. This line is older but Dooney added about six new styles with plenty of shades to choose from. The one that caught my attention was the new Sara Bag in lilac (featured above), sky blue and red. Again, I love the two slanted pockets in the front and also the tote style of this purse. The only drawback on this one for me is the top magnetic snap closure as I prefer a zippered one. But I think I’d make an exception for this bag. The price borders $400 ($375 to be exact) and I’m not too sure if i’d spend that much on a DB bag. This is one that I’d have to see in person and decide then.

See the new Ostrich and updated Croc collections by Dooney & Bourke at any one of these online stores: Macy*s, Nordstroms, and Dooney.com
