I bought a Dooney & Bourke for $275.00 a few years ago. It's my winter D&B.
I also have a summer D&B that is lighter in color, and smaller.
I bought one through D&B's internet site 2 years ago, it was a dark brown w/dark brown matching trim. I bought it on a whim, and only used it probably about 5 times, and ended up not caring for the style.
I got to talking w/a co-worker who also likes D&B and she said she had one that she didn't use for similar reasons, and we traded!
You can get some great prices through D&B's website. After loading the first page, click onto specials. I got a $110.00 wallet for $40.00! And the brown purse I mentioned above sold for $225 at the stores, I got for $65.00!
