Dooney & Bourke Disney Purses!

Disney Baby · 05-13-2010, 06:57 PM

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!!!

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

.... 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.

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...
