Dooney & bourke Disney collaboration part 2

[grumpycd]

Does anyone have a picture of the Sketch Cross Body Bag in Purple? Disneystore.com says that they are available in purple, but doesn't have a picture. They do have a picture of the purple wristlet, but they don't have it available to buy.

My pics are on pg 150

I picked up the 55th Anniversary wallet at WOD yesterday (they were the only store that had it). I checked inside DL and at the Vault and no one else had even seen the wallet at all (although inside the Vault they said other people have asked for it).

I didn't see any of the new designs at all at DLR Oh well, that probably saved me some money, LOL.

I was actually cruising the DD shops hoping to get a look at the new designs in person when I spotted my DL 55 wallet last weekend. I know DL is usually a little behind WDW getting the new designs, but I thought for sure they'd be in by now.

When I checked at WoD early last week they only had one wallet from the initial shipment left. The CM I talked to then thought it would be a couple of weeks before they got more in. Sounds like they came sooner than expected.

I'd love to see a picture of your wallet - or at least get a little description. What icons did you get on and under the front flap? Did they let you have a few to choose from?

That has been pretty hit and miss for me at WoD, but they seem to be getting better lately. I had a CM ready to bring out half a dozen wallets for me to look through... until we found out there was only one left at the time. Or maybe she only offered to bring out so many because she knew it wasn't really an option.

There are probably quite few scattered throughout this thread, but I know finding them can be a chore!

Here's a pic I posted when someone was trying to decide between blue and purple:

I don't know if this is the case with all of the new ones, but some of them are missing the leather trim on the front pocket. Just a heads up.

My pics are on pg 150

Thanks! I just bought it on ebay (the only purple one that wasn't a wristlet, by the looks of things) for $156 including shipping. The placement isn't fantastic, but it's not atrocious either. At least, there isn't too much repetition. It also looks to have the leather trim on it. I'll post pics as soon as I get it!

Are the Princess bags at the parks or are they just at disneystore.com

Oh, my DH already took it from me, LOL. I'll ask him for it back tonight so I can take some pictures. I decided that it was too much money to spend on myself right now but DH knew how much I wanted it and said that if I wanted it as a Christmas present, he would be glad to do it that way. But in exchange, he took it when we got home and put it away (in order to wrap it and place it under the tree for Christmas, LOL). So I have to wait two more months to be able to use it

I know it had the Mickey and Minnie on the front (although one was cut off a bit) and the black plaque that said "Here you leave today and enter the world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy." I didn't have anything special on this one that I wanted, so I only looked at a couple of them. There just wasn't much room for things on the wallet anyway. It does have a full Disneyland on the back, but it is upside down, LOL.

When I was getting the sketch wristlet for my DD, it had to have a full Dumbo on it (her favorite) so that was a bit of a chore because that bag is also so small, LOL.

Your soon to be Christmas present sounds very nice! I'd love to see it, but I understand if your DH has it tucked away already.

I agree that the smaller bags can be tough. Every time I'm in Vault 28 I look through all of the wristlets and only occasionally do I find one I can't live without. Although since I have more than one, it does happen.

Love the bags. I have the black princess satchel and I'm thinking of getting the black wristlet to match when I'm there in November. Can you tell me, are the princess bags still only available at Trend-D's?

That was the only place that I saw them.

Jealous!!! I think the purple one is adorable!

Thanks! Before I found out they had purple, I was strongly considering blue, but purple is my absolute favorite color! I even bought my winter jacket (white with purple accents) to coordinate with it. Upon closer reading, the picture on ebay is a stock picture, not the one I'll be getting. But that's okay, it'll still be awesome!

 

[bellebookworm9]

I was just reading back through this thread and found all the posts from when the letter carriers came out, and how everyone went like this at the $155 price tag. I had to laugh, because I originally thought the same thing, and everyone else I've told thinks I'm crazy. What they don't realize is that I use my purses until they cannot be used any more. The one I have now is a Tinkerbell one from KMart, and it cost about $12. The lining is absolutely destroyed, ergo time for a new purse. And besides, this is probably the only designer thing I'll ever own in my life!

Also, does anyone have a picture of the zipper? I know that seems like an odd request, but I'm just curious.

now that the sketch print is a bit smaller, it is much easier to get good placement! post pics when you get it! im sure its going to be awesome!

I just found this thread, hello all!! I currently only have a white sketch wristlet that I got the last time I was there (thank you Disney Visa for reward dollars when you signed up, lol).

I'm hoping to get an actual purse when I go back down in November. I really like the new balloon design!

welcome to the dooney thread! be forewarned, these dooneys can be addictive! i like the balloon design too. i am looking forward to seeing them in person on our next trip. be sure to post if you decide on another dooney. it keeps us all going until the next visit to wdw!

Well, I'm crossing my fingers that DD's dad can get her a sketch wristlet today when they go to DTD. I gave him exact instructions on where to get it and what to look for. I'm hoping for an e-mail later today saying that he was able to pick one up for her for Christmas. All he needs to do is have her distracted for a few minutes so he can get it!!!

Hoping for Dooney Pixie Dust!!!

i dont think i like the new balloons not to much, i gotta see them in person.

I think some of the surprise over the pricing was because many of the Disney designs tend to come at a premium even in relation to normal D&B prices.

Example:

Plaid collection D&B letter carrier $145, Disney collection $155

It's even worse with the new peace, love, Mickey bags.
Price on a D&B sport flock Erica is $130, but the new PL&M bag is $150

Prices on some of the other designs are comparable though.


Has your new purple letter carrier arrived yet bellebookworm? I hope you got great placement.
I hope to hear a positive report on the wristlet shopping too WishingMom.

LOL! I was one who was in sticker shock and yet I coughed up the $155. I watched a QVC Dooney show that had LCs and I realized how great a travel/airport bag it would be. They also had tons of purple bags and I fell in love with the color. After that I forgot about the price. I love my purple LC, can't wait to use it in December!

No, I'm still anxiously awaiting it! It was picked up from Kissimmee yesterday, so I'm expecting it tomorrow, Friday at the latest.

I agree, I think it will be great to take to the parks and use as an everyday bag.
