Dooney and Bourke bags will never live down that ugly duck they had for years! They are such a low-tier company in the world of handbags, who the hell would want to advertise that they own one of these pieces of crap?

Ouch!! This one hurts my eyes. Never wanted a D&B to begin with and the puke green monster confirms that.

I think the bag is really cute, and i like bags with the logo all over it!(just my opinion)

I hate ALL logo bags (and clothing, shoes), even the super high-end ones, but that’s just me. Dooney’s plain leather tassel bags are quite nice.

I have a Dooney and Burke All Weather Leather Sachel, and it’s the type of thing that I use when I’m meeting with clients and I want to impress them with my stodgy professionalism. Although I do have to say, I do love the duck tag. It’s lame, but there’s something so cute contained within it’s lameness. It’s like the Haley Joel Osment of handbags.

dahat!

i think all this negative sentiment is unwarranted. the biggest gripe i can find is that the handles are a bit oblong, but even this adds some interest. In a day and age where everyone and their wife have bags with GG or CD or some other initial slammed allover, its nice to see the designer’s real name. If green isnt your thing, perhaps this thing does suck balls. But for real now, it isnt that bad at all.

Yeah! That’s a really ugly bag.

i seriously dont like DB. and this bag just adds to it. DB tries too hard to get in on the trends.

fugly! i hate dooney and bourke to start with. i hate their logos. i hate how they put their logos all over their bags. i don’t even consider DB as a brand. they are just plain ugly.

Fugly Fugly Fugly. They have taken the brand revitalization thing way too far, going from that unchanging duck logo thick hide style to schizophrenic trend-chasing. Before whether or not you were a fan of their momly, sensible leather goods they had an identity. Now there’s this screaming foolish logo, but it has no meaning, there is no brand identity. The other especially bad pattern was the Murakami ripoff pastel on white background that Lindsay Lohan advertised - just awful!

Ew! No, no nono! Is that YELLOW & GREEN?!?!

Don’t even get me started srtarted on that hideous “It Tapestry” design… spelling out the name is definitely too pretentious, but I like the regular intial logo, like Coach and the “It Bag” from D&B =)

I agree Nikki…sitting and writing about how much you loathe db is lameo too….I own two and I love them…They are durable and great quality. And the duck is cute!! Louis Vuitton is blah, where I live everyone has fakes and acts like they are real. I bet you girls are the same type of people…

i dont see whats so bad about the purse. I LOVE IT!! but like the others said… its just my opinion. i could see some girl carrying that on the beach.. and everyone would say.. wow she must be rich.. but what people dont take into mind that it might not be real.. they think that just because it says “Dooney and Bourke” or “Louis Vuitton” or “Dolce and Gabbana” that its real and that they must be rich. Its all sick.. lol

November 24th, 2005

in my own opinion i think the purse is really cute! Not a color i would usually have a purse in but definitley see myself with this purse. Although the strap is quite large.

For all the terrible comments to see about these bags from everyone, one would think that Dooney never sells them. I can tell you that the green is not my choice, but I have one in brown and it is a really great bag. I looked around for a very long time for a bag that was comfortable and light before I put all my stuff in there. This back is great. I bought it in Williamsburg, VA at an outlet, it’s beautiful. Sorry, you all don’t get it. These bags are very nice.

i love d&b. although this bag in my opinion isn’t one of their greatest. but everyone is different. and for people to sit here and complain about how much they hate it is just stupid. go do something a little more valuable with your time.

I love all of the Dooney & Bourke line. Can’t say I am fond of the lemon yellow/lime green combination though. I own many Louis Vuitton handbags (yes. all real, no fakes here). I own Guccis, again, real not fake. I recently bought one MCM bag (real) and have received many compliments on it. I do not have any Coach or Dooney monograms of any kind and would dearly love to have at least one of each. I am probably considerably older than most of you and believe me, when people see you walking down the street they are not thinking, ooohhh, look how ugly that purse is. They probably do question authenticity because they are very jealous and hope and pray it is fake and you are as poor as them. Nice thing about this is, you know it’s real and screw them if they don’t realize it. You should always carry a designer bag with pride. It is one of the few things I never go cheap or fake on.

hey preppygurl, why dont you believe that that lady might actually have all those purses. ok if your rich it is possible to spend at ton on purses! so maybe you should just shutup and quite calling other people fakes! just because you are jealous that they have expensive does give you the right talk crap bout other people! OKAY? K! so maybe if you quite wasting all ur time righting crap about people on this web page, you might actually have time to go find a job and by your own purse and stop being jealous! ok well thats all for now!

actually i just received that same purse style but in black grey n yellow as a gift from my mom. the purse is spacious n fits a lot of my useless stuff in it. so i was just looking for a site which mentions how to recognize a fake D&B i kno mine is real but i would just like to kno.
as for the DB on the purse i kno Louis Vuitton was the original n i think it sux its soooo imitated now (LV n Gucci n fendi did it with their letters) now every1 does it. but i like it however i would not want to carry a fake brand, id rather get a normal black purse instead of a fake. http://www.myspace.com/_beckaaa_

Hi, well you say you don’t care about these purse labels anymore because you’re ” older, and wiser”. You sure as heck don’t sound old and wise. The way you type in this is atrotious, and all the swearing? It doesn’t make you sound cool lady, just seems like you’re trying too hard. If people like shpwing off the label, Yay Hurray for them, if you don’t, then don’t buy the purse. Otherwise, shut up.

Dooney and Bourke bags are for people who can afford them. everyone has a fake louis. i have not seen a good dooney fake. if you cant afford to pay 200 bucks for a purse then you are poor and seriously need to stop writing on this wall. i personally like coach better but im sick of hearing poor people complain about expensive purses. damn.. burberry purses are atleast 700 bucks. dooney and bourke purses are a bargain and they are cute. so have fun with your generic louis vuitton fakes that you got at sum market. ahahaha

D&B Is Luv!!!

Ok first of Megs or whatever ur name is you don’t no crap and ur mouth is to big for ur brain!! mkay!! If u are so mature and have so much wisdom why are u using words like “FUG”…thats like something 7th graders say…okay!!! yea so stop talking crap about it!! And I don’t consider Dooney and Bourke at the low end of designer brands!! They make good quality purses that people can actually afford! I have 3 D&B purses and they are very nice quality!! They last along time and are easy to clean off, unlike coach purses that are all made out of material fabric crap!!I mean whats the point investing alot of money into a designer purse if it only looks nice for three weeks!! I mean come on…if ur gonna spend alot of money by a good quality purse!! So if u dont like it dont buy it!! If u luv it u
rock and invest ur money and in actual purse that lasts!! Ok so yeah!! So if u want to talk crap save it for someone who cares!! And if u hate D7B its probably because u cant afford and ur jealous and if u can afford but still hate it its because ur so stuck up to be considered high-middle class! okay!! And i dont care if u only wear really expensive designer clothing…big woop!! i wear Hollister clothes and take it maybe they arent that expensive…but they are really cute and affordable preppy cali clothes!! And besides they compliment my D&B purses!! Its like they are meant to go together!! OK well yeah!! I luv all u D&B fans!! MUAH!! ♥much luv!!

I didn’t know that there where purse snobs in the world. People carry what they like. I know that I do. I don’t have this purse but I have 3 others, matter of fact just bought a new one today. The Doodle bag medium sac in white. I guess you don’t like this one either. That is why I am going to be proud to own and carry it.

You women crack me up. I have to laugh at the comments here and the fact that you “girls” are actually arguing about freakin purses and handbags!? I was going to buy a D&B for my wife for Christmas and stumbled upon this comedy while looking. Look at this mess…this is exactly what these designers want you “girls” to be doing. Talking and arguing about who is better. Some of you are too blind to even see that they have you right where they want you. Some of you are such superficial asswipes. Do you really think people think that you are a better “person” because you carry a designer handbag? The whole “I’m better than you” thing just because somebody can afford a designer handbag verses someone who can not, never ceases to amaze me! I can understand wanting quality, that’s why I’m looking, but when you have to belittle others in the process, that is so pathetic and superficial. You never know who the person is or what their situation is, they may be a great person but had a rough past or be in a bad situation. If you actually got to know them you may even become good friends, but you will never know because you judge others too fast on their looks and appearance and how much money they “waste” on designer item after designer item. Most of you clammoring about how many designer bags you have, have probably racked up you or your husbands credit card up to get them. That’s not rich…that’s debt last time I checked and most of you will never be able to afford to pay those cards off. Just because you own a credit card and a designer bag doesn’t mean that you don’t have to still get up for work in the morning. You will. It doesn’t make you Evana Trump just because you try to act like her. Anybody can go rack up a credit card, it doesn’t make you rich. It actually does the opposite in the long run. Many of you probably have trouble finding a man and wonder why…just look at this childishness on this board and wonder no more. As a man…this is exactly why most men don’t want to commit. For those of you who aren’t materialistic…my apologies for this rant, this wasn’t meant for you. For those of you who are…think twice before you act. Have a good day. :)

Hi. I just purchased a Dooney & Bourke all weather leather, briefcase/purse at a yard sale. I was so excited, because I got a great deal on it and it is good condition. How can I tell if it is real?

This is stupid. I really am sorry that not everyone can be born a Canadian heiress like me, but this is terrible the way that you girls talk to each other over a bag. I do not think highly of myself, and no one else should think highly of the social standing. As you should know, just because you’re rich does not mean that you are among America’s snobby elite. It just means you might be among America’s upper middle or lower upper class. I am actually a member of Canada’s upper upper class, in which you must be born into just for your information.

By the way, I choose not to buy designer bags just to seem more important, as you all should know that when you die, you really cannot take your money with you to the afterlife.

I think this bag is UGLY! Blah! YUCK! EEK! i mean like if saw someone far way, in the street with this bag, i’d be like WOW! that’s hideouse! i LOVE dooney and bourke, but this one is just plain ugly. i especially like the “it” collection. does anyone know where to get a brown it bag? online, th eonly options are white or black.

This bags colors are simply too garish. Personally, carrying it I would feel like a billiboard-a free advertisement for the company, a company that actually forced me to pay them to help them sell merchandise. That’s just wrong.

I do own a Dooney and Bourke bag, it is small, and has a very faint barely visible logo, and a lock that states, in a very sophisticated way, unlike the bag above, that it was made my Dooney and Bourke. It has neutral tones and goes with just about anything.

I do not claim to be extremely wealthy, but I do have taste and realize that paying to be a billboard (no matter what logo you’re doing it for, LV,Fendi,Coach) is never a classy move.

Personally, I would definitely prefer a Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Chanel, or Chloe bag, especially since they typically do not make me feel like such a consumer whore.

Delicate touches that suggest brand devotion are fine, but in-your-face-brand-snobbery will never land anyone in the best dressed pages.

I suspect this bag will be sold mostly to eigth-graders with expendable income.

I agree that Dooney and Bourke has reached an all time low with their blatant, classless marketing schemes.

ok i dont think any of u are rich to be honest because rich people dont go around saying oh hey im rich i have tons of money, unless there new money and they blow it all and go broke. and 2nd most of your asses didnt buy your purses yourself your parents did..so ur not the one who is actually “rich” its ur parents and 3rd just b/c u own a dooney and bourke purse it doesnt make u rich i own the large hearts zip tassle and the hearts wristlet and im not rich…not even close..dooney and burke is like the poor peoples designer….by the way…all that said i love my dooney purses lol

I think that all of you are very young and stupid. I noticed that most of you can’t even spell right. If you are “rich” then why do you spell JEALOUS as “jelous”? I don’t think so hun. This purse is cute, I wouldnt wear it but it would look cute on the right girl. I love the dooney and bourke it bagsm the white ones with the colorful db’s all over it. Those are my fave.

I think this bag is very cute. My only concern is that it is lime green, and wouldn’t go with very much. It would be nicer in a neutral tone. P.S. -people that can’t spell shouldn’t criticize others…

Whoa! Whatever happened to “live and let live”?

I stumbled across this old discussion only because I began to search the Internet out of curiosity to see if the IT bag collection are suitable for adults in their 30s and beyond, or are marketed primarily to people in their 20s and below. I have a 40-something friend who carries the Dooney & Bourke large heart tassel bag, which is why Dooney & Bourke caught my attention. On my friend the look works well, and I actually find the heart pattern attractive too. She can “get away with it” in my opinion, but as much as I adore those crayon hearts I don’t feel I can take the same liberty even though I am younger than she. As a result, I opted for a rainbow DB monogram with vachetta trim instead of the crayon heart pattern. Normally I don’t care for monograms, but the rainbow DBs go with anything I wish to wear, and the colors add a hint of casual playfulness that the other monogram bags out there lack. And while I certainly agree that the spring green colors on the Dooney & Bourke purse that started this discussion are a bit limiting insofar as what type of outfits they match, who am I to tell anyone what to buy? If anything was lame, it was the blogger who started this flame war by including put-downs of ANY handbag!

In addition I agree with another comment in which it was pointed out that the LVs and other ultra high-end designs are commonly replicated. By contrast, when I see a Dooney & Bourke, I am less likely to assume that it may be a fake, less likely to assume that the owner can’t afford the real thing, etc, etc. As designer handbags go, Dooney & Bourke is somewhat of a “best kept secret” because it is “designer” but not so obscenely priced as to make me doubt whether someone who is carrying one bought the real thing.

As for the Dooney & Bourke duck logo that some here called “lame” or “stodgy”, it’s just a matter of perspective. Disney can and does market a zillion cartoon characters that even adults will wear on watches, shirts, totes, etc. If Disney can take a rodent — which wasn’t a popular choice when Walt Disney proposed it — and make Mickey Mouse into a cute cultural icon, than certainly Dooney & Bourke’s duck logo can’t be singled out! Look at it another way: If you tell people that something is trendy, and tell them often enough, most people will believe it. If I showed you a monogram purse that you had never even seen or heard of in your entire life you would HATE it. But if I sold that bag for 20 years and priced it at $400 or greater, people would eventually begin to fall all over themselves to buy it — not because it is pretty, per se, but because it shows the world that you have money burning holes in your pockets, and to a lot of people that’s what “designer” purchases are all about.

Toward the end this discussion deteriorated into what the guys would call a “pissing contest”. Gals were challenging other gals about how wealthy they actually are, how they could afford this designer or that, etc. From the juvenile tone of *SOME* of the comments, it didn’t sound as if many adults were involved in this discussion. I have no problem with teen posts, but I sure wish rude people on the Internet would get a clue no matter what age they are. Every time you hurl an insult it just makes the Internet feel like a gigantic junior high school where everyone is insecure and trying to prove otherwise.

Isn’t the whole point of buying designer brands and visiting these fashion sites to help us gals make a sophisticated “statement” about who we are? So why ruin the sophisticated or classy clothing and accessories by adopting an attitude or a writing style that sounds and reads as if it were written by a trash-talking seventh grade dropout as opposed to a well-mannered, well educated adult? I came here off a Google link hoping to answer my question about who the IT bags are marketed to, and if adult women, not just teens or college students, are carrying them too. The closest thing I have to an answer is what would seem like a lot of teenage-sounding bickering under the Dooney & Bourke discussions.

This last paragraph is a friendly FYI to those who are coming up in the world: Education, not clothing or accessories, is the ultimate indicator of economic status. If you’re all “look” and no substance, everyone will know it by the way you write and speak (given away not only by poor spelling and grammar, but your manners and “class”). Bottom line? If you want to LOOK sophisticated, buy the latest designer handbag, the designer jeans, etc. If you want to complete the whole package, however, you’ll want to SOUND and act sophisticated too. That means learning how to spell, use grammar correctly, write complete sentences, and to ignore the Internet trolls who are trying to start flame wars with people who nibble the bait in response to nasty, obscene and rude posts. Courtesy IS class: If you don’t have any class, people will see through you no matter how many designer brands are cluttering your closet. Class: It never goes out of style, and it doesn’t cost a dime. Don’t leave home — or post on the Internet — without it.

I own a DB with just the BD logo, I would never want one with the spelled out name as shown on this bag. I do like the style of this particular bag and it now comes in a nice denim color with just the DB logo. My problem with DB is I do not think the fabric bags are worth the price. The All Weather leather is. The fabric bag I own ( a shoulder sac sloutch type) after only 1 year of use ( and I did not use it constantly) has thread wear on all four corners of the bottom where the corners are sown together. DB should put leather corners on these bags. When one pays nearly $200 for a bag this is not what should be expected to happen. I will NEVER buy another DB fabric style bag. I could have paid $40 for a bag at flippin’ Mervyns and had longer wear on the corners.

Diana- I think the “IT” bags can be carried by everyone, no matter their age. I Have a D&B bag with the rainbow colored d&b’s all over it~ I think that bag anyone could wear.. but as far as the IT bags with the hearts..I’m not so sure..I’ve only seen girls in their 20’s wearing them. Your post was awesome.

haha…i am only 16 and i jusst got into designer purses. i have neverr evver had any interest in purses with the sig. logos on them. i have always thought they were hideous, and simply went straight to the patchwork coach and the colorful dooneys, seeign as they are the least expensive brands (part of me even thinks they have the cuter designs!)–i even find some louis distastful. why not skip the nasty and go straight to cute? seriously, if youre planning on spending money on a QUALITY purse, at least make sure it is attractive, i gaurantee the prices vary only slightly.

Everyone has there own taste. Everyone is an individual person. I love Dooney & Bourke and I also like Coach, Gucci..etc. I am not saying I have all these handbags but I do like them and if I could have them I would. I dont think putting down a certain brand is right. Like I said everyone has there own taste. Imagine if we would all like just the same thing. My taste personally: I prefer Dooney & Bourke to the rest…but that’s me. If you like it ok and if you don’t you don’t but don’t talk bad about it because “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”..in other words what is beautiful to me migh not be to you or just the other way around.

♥me some dooney

WOW! LMFAO @ at the chaos going on in this forum over one simple purse. This is such a shame. I feel sorry for all the girls on here who have nothing better to do than argue back and forth, tit for tat, with strangers that you have never met, and probably will never meet about which designer is better. I don’t like this particular tapestry Dooney, but I like the white multicolor ones, black multicolor ones, black and grey ones, and brown and tan ones. I love Dooney because they have really fun styles. They have something for everyone, young and old. The colorful ones appeal more to the younger crowd, and the plain leather ones are more for older women. Either or, they are all nice and well made.

I own five Dooneys, and I love each and every one of them. But the difference is that I actually bought them myself because I am not a spolied priss like many of the “women” on this forum. I am not rich, I mean, I just graduated from college so I have tons of student loans left to pay off LOL…but why does it matter if someone is rich or not? Having money doesn’t make you better than the next person, and blasting your so-called wealth over the Internet is not cute at all. Especially when you don’t know how to spell correctly. It’s such a shame. No one is jealous of you OR your bags. The bag does not make the woman.

So yes I ♥ DB. You don’t have to like them because guess what? You don’t buy my sh!t so you don’t have a say in it. If you like them, great, if you don’t great. I’ll live. I can’t believe people actually fight over this trivial matter. I mean, it’s only a purse! If you girls put this much effort into a better cause, I am sure it would do the world some good. I came upon this site looking for a discontinued Dooney that I really want to get, but I found a laugh instead.

I may not be rich, but I have good taste. I own lots of designer things because I work hard for them. I buy something because I like the way it looks, not because it’s a certain designer brand. I don’t worry about what other people have to say about what I wear because I wear stuff for ME and not for them. I sincerely hope that you girls have an epiphany and realize that this is silly to fight over. Dooney lovers and non-Dooney lovers should be able to get along. It’s not that serious people. I agree with Jeff a few posts above me.

So all in all, I wish all of you the best. Have a great day girls. God bless :grin:

I used to love D&B but after my recent issue with them I will never purchase another. I got a D&B bag a few years back and I did not use it much. The fabric started to fall apart and so I sent it in to be fixed. I paid $235.00 for the bag and all they wanted to give me was $117.50 for the bag which I had to use to purchase a bag at the same price. The bag that I wanted was $195.00 and they refused to let me do that. I tried to talk to the manager and got no response. This is stupid I should be able to trade in for any bag that I want. If it costs less I’m the one out the money not them. Has anyone ever had this issue and if so did you get it resolved?
