How does Dooney rank with you?

I use to respect them equally with coach and such, but when they started making all that doodle crap and the tattoo bags I knew it was over. The only decent looking bags that they had made in a while was a lovely suede hobo, but they started discontinuing it before you could order one.

I think they are still searching for what they want to be, so some of it appeals to me and some (like what you showed above) does not. They used to just be big ugly heavy boring duck-themed leather bags (imho) so I think if they can just find something more modern and nice w/o being too "teeny-bopper" they will be okay. I buy at least 1 or 2 Dooney bags each year, and I've never been sorry. My favorite ones are the logo bags in the darker contrasting prints, and the solid colored leather bags.

i see what you're saying. i have the heart bucket bag. i got it when they first started making "teeny" stuff, but i still think that particular style is cute.

some of their bags are okay. but i think they are targeted towards middle highschoolers, so not my style.

haha LV GIRL you stole the words right out of my mouth haha. I know arent they aweful looking. However, I like the Nile Collection. also what about the Bolero? I admit I didnt like it at first, but now. hmm kindof unique.

the bolero? say it's not so. the bag looks like some kind of puppet!! the nile bag was nice though, i've never seen that before. more stuff like that and they might make me a believer again.....hmmmm

hahaha i dont know what it is about it. I guess the bag's image grew on me. This Bolero is no longer the unsightly bag in my mind, but now a creative yet unique and very different bag. Will is sport one? NO! but if i had a younger sister i would buy it for her :)

i'm assuming you do not like this younger sister very much.

I guess its okay. I like some of there handbags but not that Tatto. They should design more handbags that it really looks elegant and it will stand out in the crowd.

I like the TATTOO bag but I am into tattoos, saw the tartan on a grandmother in the supermarket yesterday nice colors but no; D&B not one of my favs way overpriced for the quality

Personally I like the Alto line & All Weather Leather.They come in handy on rainy days when I don't want to get my LV's or MJ's soaked.
I'm glad there are some cute alternatives for young ladies that cant afford higher end bags.:)

Jennifer · August 11th, 2006, 03:09 PM

I see what you are saying kitty. I hate getting the leather on my louis vuitton's wet

Addict2Handbags · August 26th, 2006, 09:08 PM

The only D&B that I like is their All Weather Leather, other than that I have to be 12 to like it.

D&B isnt in my league it is just too childish for my taste

VivaLaJuicy · September 15th, 2006, 09:23 PM

At first i thought D&B was ok... but now... they just arent! I dont like any style at all!
