Dooney & Bourke Exclusive Canvas Tote - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

VivaLaJuicy · May 12th, 2008, 08:26 PM

How does the All-American brand Dooney & Bourke rank with you bagistas? Some people find their handbags to be fun and unique, while others simply dislike the brand all together. For the past couple of years, Dooney & Bourke has been criticized for releasing incredibly awkward designs on their handbags and accessories. Bumblebees, Candies, Texas, and Miami are a couple of names of the not so popular designs by Dooney. For quite some time now, I was really looking forward to seeing a plain and normal looking handbag, and recently, the brand finally released one.

Meet the Exclusive Canvas Totes by Dooney & Bourke. These simple totes lack those wacky designs Dooney is known for, yet they seem great to take to the beach or on a picnic. Although they are “good” different, they are also quite boring! That boring plaided pattern just doesn’t do anything for me. Yes this tote is available in a wide variety of hues, but I just can’t imagine myself spending even the low retail price of $120 on one of these bags. What do you ladies think? Would you wear this bag, or is this line simply another Dooney & Bourke letdown?

... still a pass for me

But it does look way better than some of their other lines.

If the colors were a bit bolder, maybe it'd be better?

I like the new linear DB better:

It comes in Beige, Brown, Blue Jeans, Navy, or Purple... all with gold trim.
