Dooney & Bourke Disney Purses!
 

I got an e-mail from Disney Store today and had to check it out. I am not a big purse person but I do and have carried the same Dooney & Bourke black cabriolet purse since 2001 and it still looks brand new. If you go to www.disneystore.com and type in Dooney into the search - they will come up. If they had made black one with just the Mickey head icons, I would buy one in a heartbeat! The ones that they have for sale are a little over stated for me but I still think they are cute. With that being said, if I received one as a gift, I would defintely carry it - it is DISNEY after all!!!:yes:

I saw a woman at WDW in January with one of these. Not being a purse expert, I didn't know what Dooney and Bourke was :blush:.... I was just astonished by the price. It was actually my boss who guessed the brand when I described it. I don't know if I'd actually carry this around (if I could even afford it!), but I love the classic Mickey images on this one.

Carol - I like that one and I like the brown - I just would like it in black. My purse was a gift from a friend that passed away in car accident in 2008 - so I can't/won't change it out. I will say that my Dooney & Burke purse has not only been my only purse since 2001 but my job up until the end of 2007 was 75% travel and it withstood all of that travel and shows no sign of wear and tear. I also think that I am trying justify the cost of these purses, just in case I have to have one! ;) However, one of these purses could feed my family for a week!!!

Along with being a Disney diehard, I'm a purse addict. It's not my fault, it's inherited from both my mom & grandma (there's a story for a layout. ;)) So, when I was at Disney I caved and ended up getting this bag (the pattern on my bag is a little more subtle.)

and this wristlet

I looked through all the wristlets to find the perfect pattern, so you perfectly see the castle & that it says Disney. I should take a pic of it. I did have a Disney Visa discount, so that helped sway me ;) and they weren't the expensive ones, either.

I am a huge D&B addict! LOL
I want one of the Disney Cruise line D&B bags.

Ooh, I saw this ad when it came out. I'd love to get one of these, but I don't have the $$. Oh well.

Yeah i've been wanting one of these since i saw they came out as I too am a purse addict.....there i've said it!! Hehe. Will just have to save up my pennies. :)

I had to look around the internet after I received the e-mail from the Disney Store - I guess they were released in the parks last year and they are NOW available online. I also checked out ebay - but they are more expensive on ebay than the Disney Store. I suppose those ebay prices will go down now that your don't have to visit a park to get one.

Oh yea, when they first hit the parks, there were people going crazy to get them! They were calling Disney, and able to order them that way. But there were only a few of them, so OTHER people were getting angry because the parks were sold out. And then of course they were showing up on ebay. ;)

Oh my gosh, I have seen the multi pattern doonies and think they are great, but I have never seen just the black and white mickey faces - Soooo stinkin cute! I would never get it for myself. Maybe I will tell my mom that's what I want for my birthday :innocent:

:wave: Hi, my name is Donna and I have a Disney D&B addiction.
"Hi Donna"

I generally don't believe in buying expensive purses. I like to buy a $20 one, use it for a couple seasons (either Spring & Summer, or Fall & Winter) and then get another one. But these D&Bs are irresistible to me for some reason. I have the wristlet that Heather has

and the DCL wristlet (thank you to my super good friend who went on a cruise in July)

and the medium tote.

And you know what? If I had the money right now (and knew a very generous person willing to help me again) I'd get the DCL tassel tote too!

I want the cruise line medium tote really badly!
Hopefully I can get my sister to get me one next time she goes on the cruise. :)

When I go to WDW in 10 days....I'm not sure if I should get a purse or book a bounceback offer for next September!!?? What to do! What to do!

PURSE!! I wish I could justify buying one - but instead I have to pay tuition and activities for the children!!!!! My nine year old daughter offered to take a month off from school so that I could buy one!:lol2:

lol....that was so nice of her to offer! :lol2:

BOTH
Oh okay now i realized you havent put that as an option
humm purse, then book a trip later :yes:

My fiance has promised me the white sketch medium tote bag for my 22nd birthday in November!! But now I see they have this cute princess one too!! What to do, what to do!?!?

And I really like these colored wristlets...I am debating if I want the wristlet and something else instead of one of the bags..too many decisions!! I'd get the pink one of course :) ....

I have this bag, and I wore it at Disney back in January, you will not believe how many compliments i got, it was SO much I felt uncomfortable and felt it attracted too much attention!

Cool. Now this could give me something to look for when we go early next year.

I did a layout about my D&B bags :) I posted it in the Souvenirs thread, but thought I would share it here too :)

Heather - that is a fabulous layout! I saw a medium Sketch today in person. I went to a uniform sale at our school and a woman had one. I didn't know her and I just went up to her and checked out her bag. The medium one is huge! I can't imagine the size of the large. In pictures, it looks so busy. But in person, I absolutely loved it!!! I am going to cave and ask for one or buy one for myself for my 40th Bday which is next month...

DH bought me the Medium Sketch on our last day of vacation!
 

I thought that my DH would surprise me with a Medium Sketch for my 40th Birthday. He bought me a Sony Alpha33 instead. I love my new camera and took over 4000 pictures over the course of 8 days at WDW. On the last day, we went to Downtown Disney and I finally got my purse! I love it even more than I thought I would. It is soooooooooo pretty and fun! I am now thinking about getting the black one with balloons...

Yay, I'm glad you got your purse Jennifer!! And a cool new camera. :)

I just got this one in the mail from disneystore.com It's way smaller than I thought it was! If I work at it, I can get my phone into it (granted I have a big phone). With the sale, it only came out to about $20 (plus shipping).. it's worth the price I paid, but can't see paying full price for it.

Carol,
That's was a good price...I'll have to check and see if they still have any left...It looks like my Coach one and that's about all I can get in mine, besides my lipstick...I used mine on our Disney cruise...
