    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

      No way, never in a million years. The yellow piping just doesn’t match to me. Oh and that lion thingey – yuck.

    • tbf’er dior

      lol @ you girls in tbf. The emma bag was probably the worst bag dooney ever came out with.

    • Brandy

      The pink with the yellow isn’t as bad as the others. That one I will consider getting my daughter for xmas..

    • Isis

      They tried…

    • Cindy Krause

      I think this bag is really cute.

      Brandy, this is on my daughters Christmas list as well, she likes it for whatever reason, just not me.

    • Lizzie

      I kind of like the bag, but what is with that super fake-looking picture of Hayden? I know she’s not a great model, but there wasn’t a better pic than that?! they really need to get rid of her and get someone with actual creativity…

      I actually really like this bag and the piping reminds me of the older DB bags. I like any sort of well done insignia so I completely disagree with BB. The lion’s head makes this clutch special :) .

      Haha, that link to the emma bag is just awful. lol

    • Alissa

      Now that’s classic ! You’ll use it forever.

      I love this bag so much and I really want one, but I was it had some handles. How am I going to carry this thing all day?
