dooney and bourke disney bags

[collegejunkie]

i've become a little obsessed with them. if you have one, which one do you have and please tell me about it

i would like the medium or large sketch tote and the white balloon wristlet. the bag is available at the disneystore.com, but the wristlet is sold out. any idea on where to get one? the ones on amazon are at least $20 over the disney price.

I have a bunch of them. What do you want to know?

There are a bunch of fellow D & B fans that participate in a thread under the Theme Parks community. I am too dense to try and link it. Check it out!

Try checking ebay. I have gotten a couple of pretty good deals over there.

i really like the sketch medium and large totes and the balloon white wristlet. how do you keep them clean? i have other d&b white bags, but i can definitely see myself using these far more than any of my other bags.

do you have anyone on ebay that you trust for sure to buy from? there was a good deal on the medium tote when i checked a few hours ago, but i'm usually hesitant to buy anything used.

i wish they'd make shoes in the sketch design. i'd be all over those

Here is a link for aplace you can check out. I myself have the 40th anniversary bag and the princess wristlet. https://yourwdwstore.3dcartstores.com/search.asp?keyword=dooney&search=GO

Great thread!

I LOVE my wristlet. I have the original pattern with a blue background. I have dumbo and a tea cup on the front and the castle on the back. Its such a high quality product, and its a little burst of disney in my day. I keep a vera bradley card holder inside it, along with chapstick and my inhaler and I use it as a wallet within my larger purse.

Have you held any of the bags? They're heavy even empty! Keep that in mind when you're looking at sizes (and if you tend to carry a lot of stuff!)

I am saving up so that when we go to WDW in late October I can go to the Disney store at DTD and possibly buy the large Mickey Balloon Tote. The black one with Mickey balloon heads all over it. It is the biggest one I can find that isn't a weekender duffle bag. I'm not sure I would trust to buy one off Ebay. As well as they can make knock offs of D & B bags nowadays I would worry it is fake. Because if Disney is going to charge me $325 for the purse I want, how can the guy on Ebay sell it to me for $185? I don't trust it.
I don't know if it still this way but when I bought my other D & B purse years ago they had little tags in them with the certificate number of the purse, like a registration number inside the purse that the fakes didn't have.

I saw lots of the white balloon wristlets at WDW in all the stores that carry D&B. Call the merchandise phone number and you can order it!

I just got back from WDW about a month ago and bought the black D&B balloon barrel handbag. I love it!!!! I've gotten tons of compliments on it.

All of mine are real. They all have numbers, however D & B originally would not accept registrations on them. Now, you do get registration cards with them. I have heard that if you call them now, they will register the older edition purses. I have gotten a couple used ones for really good prices. I also think some people sell them for lower prices because they buy them at a discount (AP, Disney visa discounts, etc....)

I have the med white sketch and the white princess. The handles do get dirty and don't really want to come clean. So far, the main part of the purses have stayed pretty decent and I use mine quite a bit. I will agree with the pp, the purses are heavy.
