Dooney & Bourke Disney collaboration ~ part 4

[mrsap]

Thanks for sharing this info! And mrsap, I love your new sketch tote, great placement of Mickey/Minnie and the Disney World banner!

Thanks so much!!! The Sketch pattern is so pretty!!! These bags really are nicer in person than online!!

PS- To anyone looking for the coupon, had lunch at Pecos Bill's Cafe today at MK and received a 20% off coupon. Just check the bottom of your receipts!

I was at MK over NYE and decided to finally pick up the wallet! I wanted the smaller bag with the cross body strap and handles but I decided to think about it more and maybe get it in May on my next trip.

I picked this up at Uptown Jewelers. I didn't totally love any of the patterns, but this had a full Minnie and a Mickey Bar on the front! The slots for cards and money are definitely odd, too short for two cards or flat money, but too long for just one. I normally don't carry a lot of cash on me so folding it in half isn't much of an issue.

(The wallet on top is a cheapie on from Hot Topic that I got last month for $7.99!)

Does anyone know if the WDW Vintage Park Icons Dooney & Bourke bags have been retired? I havnt been able to find many in the parks, and they only have one style available online (which is currently on sale). I recently got the letter carrier style of the bag, but I've got my heart set on getting a bigger version too. Thanks!

I haven't seen any mention of the 2 new styles: body parts and disneyana released in December, has anyone seen them in the parks?

I went on NYE to MK and did not see anything different than what is offered online, but since it was such an insane day and busy week, maybe they were out of stock!

so glad to have found this thread!

I have been obsessing over the D&B bags ever since I found out about them like 3 years ago... we're going back to DW in two weeks and I'm trying to figure out if I will have enough saved to get one!! eep.

Miracle of Miracles! I clicked on an email link from the Disney Store and was lead to the D&B page. The Tinkerbell 1/2 marathon bags were there I got the sachel and cross body bag. Lots of $$ but I am so happy with my purchase. They came yesterday (and are marked sold out already). WHEW!

 

[Zooshoveller]

I'm thinking about getting the HM crossbody pouchette. How short can the strap be adjusted? I really want a purse I can hold in my hand and I think the tote might be too big.

Can anyone give an update as to which styles have been available at Disneyland lately?

 

[Gryhndmom]

Online disney store has the new blue print Disneyana tote from WDW along with the multicolor prints. Gonna hold back on navy print since I got the multicolor WDW tote which I like better.

 

[ellisin]

Online Disney store now has Haunted Mansion satchel and weekender bags in stock. (I'm waiting for the letter carrier style).

I just purchased the brown Sketch leather crossbody. I was just wondering for anyone that has this bag and uses it often, does it hold up well. I read some not so good reviews. I am still at Disneyland and can return if I find out it won't hold up. Thanks

Hi - I am obsessed with the Disney D&B bags. Anyone have any ideas of where to get older bags from the Marathons other than ebay? TIA

If you Facebook, try the Dooney group as I have heard of others getting bags that way. I know eBay can be high from some sellers and I have found that if you wait a few months prices tend to drop as demand drops off. Sometimes you can score a bag that has been used just a couple of times and looks new at a great savings from even the original Dooney Disney price. Good luck !

morning all, it has been ages since I was on here, and I wanted to say HI to everyone... I will be heading down for Flower and Garden and was looking at the bags, has anyone heard good or bad about them? The bicycles pattern?

My neighbor just got back from WDW and bought the bicycle pattern and said it really looks better in person.

 

[dredick]

So here is my question: should I just buy a bag off eBay now or chance not getting one I like when I go down in June? Last trip everything I had picked was sold out.

I would say it depends on what pattern you are looking for and if you want a certain placement. For example, the new beach pattern could get you a better placement of goofy vs. Mickey and can vary from bag to bag. Also, if you are a DVC or AP holder you can a discount by showing your card when you buy in person. I have both waited and bought on eBay for various disney patterns.

Well, I jumped the gun and bought one it is the Disney Sketch Crossbody Satchel by Dooney & Bourke. They had only used it once BC they didn't like the placement. I liked it BC the dooney tag on the front center had fireworks around it. I wasn't concerned where the characters landed. I got the purse for $130 with shipping.

My purse came today and I'm very happy with it. it was a EBAY purchase, and honestly, you can not tell it has been used at all. For $120, it is a great way to start collecting Disney Dooney's! I do like the placement. I like the focus on the fireworks! i can't wait to take it to Disney next weekend!
