Help me pick my first Dooney!

[HookedOnDCL1]

I'm finally going to buy a Dooney and Bourke purse on this trip after years of eyeing them. But I'm having trouble deciding on a design!!

I quite like the Alice and Wonderland but not sure it will be available in stores at WDW when we are there at the end of August?
I also really like the Mickey thru the Years and It's a Small World. And also the Cruise line one (available at the Dry Dock store). Love Disney cruises.

See my dilemma? I can only choose one. Which would you choose?
Alice
Mickey
Small World
or DCL?

(Being from Canada I can't use the Shop app nor do I want to pay the exorbitant shipping and duty fees to order from the Disney store online. So, I guess it ultimately depends what I find the in the stores when I'm there.)

Although I have to say, they are all very cute - I did go with IASW because I think it is the most visually interesting. With all that said...I really the the Beauty and the Beast one.

I also voted for IaSW! I saw the design and immediately fell in love! You can't go wrong with any of them though

I really love the IASW one but it doesn't come in a letter carrier so if it was me I'd get Mickey Through The Years.

I really liked the IASW one when I saw it in person, but had already bought a Haunted Mansion one at MK the day before.

As an FYI, the Market Co-op in Disney Springs has a lot of the Dooneys including the DCL ones.

I have a princess satchel and wallet, tinker bell letter carrier and wristlet, it's a small world pouchette and wallet, haunted mansion letter carrier and the beauty and the beast tote bag. I love them all but IASWs coloring is beautiful! I vote that one! (I'm ordering Alice Monday though- so I'm assuming that one will be beautiful too!!)

I voted for Mickey Thru the Years but I also like IaSW as well. I have never really looked at Dooney and Burke purses (but maybe I should!) I know they are very popular, esp on the Disboards and I am wondering what makes them special? Other than the cute prints, of course. I always like to have a nice purse! Hey, my birthday is in a few weeks...

I have Mickey thru the years LC and the iasw pouchette and wallet... they are both beautiful prints so I would go with whatever color scheme you tend to wear most (for coordination purposes!). Im expecting all three BatB styles in the mail today and I cant wait. I dont think I will order the alice but it looks lovely, but who knows if it will even end up in the parks, they are so vague about it. Happy shopping!

I think I would go with the IASW, I just love the vibrant print! As a fellow Canadian, I completely understand how frustrating the duty/shipping is on the DS. Yikes! Usually adds $50 US to my total. I am heading down to Disney on Sunday and plan on buying myself a new bag to celebrate my birthday. Currently I have the sketch backpack, sketch wristlet, white and green Tink wristlet, brown leather sketch LC and the HM satchel. I love them all!!!

Are you going over to the outlets on your trip? While I typically never leave the bubble, I may make an exception this trip to check out what is available there. Happy shopping!!

Wow, you have a lot! Jealous - LOL!

Love hearing all you replies and votes!!

Hmm, hadn't thought about going to the outlets - do they have Disney merchandise there? (I see you have a nice collection as well! )

 

[JennaDeeDooDah]

I'm dying for the Mickey Through the Years shopper so that's the one I vote for.

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

I am in the minorty as ever lol but I just love the DCL ones! Also the HM ones would have got a vote from me if you had listed them.

 

[disneymom0104]

I just received a Mickey Through The Years as a birthday gift last month- it is super cute! That was before the IASW one came out and I probably would have chosen that because I love all things IASW, but the colors of Mickey Through The Years suit me better anyway! Really you can't go wrong

 

[suse66]

They do! The Disney Character Warehouse on either Vineland or I Drive has Disney Dooneys and some Vera and Harveys as well. The stock varies and I know it is recommended to go early. I really want to check it out. Beware, Disney Dooneys are addictive!

 

[jeepnjudy]

Mickey, Mickey, Mickey...I'm not biased really!

 

[ImDMous]

I ordered the BatB tote and am going to order the Alice also, but I think those are shopping app only, not in stores. I'd get the Mickey! I like to get purses that remind me of events so I would only buy the DCL designs when I was on a cruise, but that's just me.

 

[loves to dive]

I have a number of them, we won't go into how many because I'm thinking of maybe going to D&B rehab somewhere. I think for your first one, I'd go with Mickey, he's classic. Note I said first one, beware they are addictive. I tell myself every time I go that I don't really need another one because how many does a girl need. Evidently one more than a girl already has. In my defense, I also have a number of none Disney D&Bs.

 

[ImDMous]

Amen to this^^^ I started with one, thought that would be fine. All my previous purses are from Target, I don't need a purse that costs more than the cash in my wallet. Uhmmm, yeah.. Apparently I do because now I have 4 with 2 more on the way.
