I have lurked on this thread since the very beginning....so I want to join the group, say hello, and tell you all that..
my name is Patty, and I am a disney dooney addict!
I got my first dooneys back in January with a 20% AP discount...I was only going to get a wonder tassel until a CM came in and told me the significance of the sketch #1, so I got the cindy too!
I went back in May with full intentions of walking away with a faces bag, but after looking at them, I couldn't bring myself to purchase one...the quality didn't seem to be as sturdy and I read on here that someone's strap had fallen off (on a tonal) and it turned me off. I was tempted by a Harvey bag as well, but DH didn't like it and I was iffy so I let that one go as well. I am, however, totally in love with the DL 55 messenger and I am patiently waiting for them to add it to their website (I figure they would be stupid not too, so I'm trying to be patient)
Anyway, the important part that I wanted to share was that I spoke to a manager at TrenD back in May and asked her about future styles. She never mentioned the new color sketches that are out now, so this release was a surprise to me, but she said she had seen concepts and photos of all kinds of merchandise with the sketch print, ranging from umbrellas to sneakers. Just wanted to add fodder for the fire girls...I meant to break that news earlier but I can't log on with my phone (I read updates on this during my commute) and I kept forgetting at home/work....
Just want to thank all you ladies for sharing your love of disney and fine handbags!!! I take comfort that I am not alone!
