Beauty and the Beast Dooney & Bourke Bag Release Date IS TODAY!

[Delgado]

Since you have the others: is this good leather? Do you like the bag, details wise? Has it worn well? Which sizes do you have? Which one do you like best?

I am SO TEMPTED. My coach purse got stolen last November. I need a small cross body. But I've never owned a dooney and haven't seen any of the Disney ones in person!!!

I hadn't owned any til I bit the bullet and bought the B&B crossbody letter carrier. I bought the dumbo ones then too because I liked them and had such an ordeal trying to get the B&B when it was in stock. I have used the B&B since I bought it! It's the best purse I have ever owned. I used to use coach and Vera Bradley. It has stood up to my everyday wear and tear. It's been soaked in the rain and been fine, which I was needlessly worried about until it happened and it was fine. I've accidentally dropped it and scrapped it on the ground, no scratches at all. It's so durable but feels so fantastic. The more I use it, it wasn't as stiff and looks even better than when I bought it! The strap is also gets more and more comfortable as I wear it. The brown leather around the corners shows a bit of fading from being thrown around (and I mean a bit if I didn't know what it looked like when a bought it I wouldn't notice).
I constantly get compliments on it. I genuinely love it so much I haven't even used the other purses. The wallet I bought in march which I have used everyday since the very beginning of march and it's fantastic as well. I've jammed it full of crap and didn't have any issues with the zipper or anything.

I also used to have an issue with neck and shoulder pain from straps on purses. I haven't had that with dooney. Idk if it's the smaller strap or what but I'm not complaining.

I really can't recommend the Disney dooney collection enough!

Ah, sweet, a fellow purse abuser. I was half afraid you might be the kind of person who buys one to display on a bookshelf.

Letter carrier size wise: what do you feel that you can easily fit in it? Paper pack book? IPad mini? Do you think it looks good both "dressed up" and "casual"? I don't tend to do two different purses for the summer. I have a large satchel for winter, this would be spring/summer purse.

My current issue with this seasons leather coach is that they are a) really small or b) really big or c) ugly or d) did I mention ugly??

Lol @ ugly! I've been there! The letter carrier is actually in my opinion the perfect size. when I first got it I thought it would be smaller and was kind of disappointed l. turns out I carry a lot of crap. easily fits a paper back book. Easily fits an iPad in it. Not a mini but a full one and it has an otterbox on it. And it still zips. When I start adding my bottle of water when the iPad is in there it gets iffy on if I can close it. But with the ipad OR water bottle, dooney wallet (those things aren't small), eos lip balm, travel lotion from bath and body works, pens, bottle of ibuprofen, iPhone 7PLUS with otterbox, and countless other small nothings like hair ties or a million receipts it still zips. And like I said gives me no issues carrying it on my shoulder or crossbody.
I love it too much to sit it on a shelf and dust it..I also really hate dusting so that sounds awful. I try to treat it nice but with two small kids the purse is in for a rough ride day to day.

I'm telling you if you are that tempted you should do it. You'll be kicking yourself later when it's sold out and some a hole on eBay wants to sell the one they bought for $500!
True story, the B&B bags were robbery on resale. I missed out in august because I couldn't make up my mind. I almost bought used off eBay for almost 400 dollars! But I was like I can't do that it's just crazy. I waited and finally the app showed the letter carrier restocked one day and I grabbed it soooo quick, lightning speed I tell you.

And looks amazing dressed up or down. People don't even notice what I'm wearing they always look at the bag!
