Default Dooney & Bourke Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch

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 (shown), Red, Fuchsia, Purple, Ivory, and Black. It retails for $295. Find it at Dooney & Bourke: Home. You can also find Dooney & Bourke at Macys

I like clutches, just not this clutch. The blue color is really pretty, but the yellow trim just doesn't do it for me.

Oh and for reference: when emma roberts attempted to design bags for dooney

I like the shape of the bag, but I could definitely do without the lion head and the trim.

Why did they have to ruin such a pretty bag with that awful gold trim.. And the lion head on the buckle.. Seriously?

You know, I don't know why the trim looks so yellow in the pics. It's really more of a metallic gold.

The white is actually kind of pretty.

I'm not crazy for these clutches, but I think the white version is nice.

Like the shape and size, but everything else

they should've called it The Oz Clutch

Maybe if my sign was a Leo I'd be crazier about them.. but definitely the best I've seen from Dooney in a while!
