New! Haunted Mansion-Inspired Dooney & Bourke Bag

[MrsDuck]

I have a bag already but if they release a purple lined bag (what I always WANTED it to be), I may have to get one... DH will be grumpy.

Well here's a surprise: Neither the Disney Store or Parks Merchandise were any help. They didn't even know about the picture changing.

Buuuuuuuut...
ANYONE WHO HAS THE BAG ALREADY: Please read this! The lady at the Dooney and Bourke office says if I give her a style number, she will be able to see if they are still producing the bag. It should be a number that starts with a "D" and would have been on the tags or a card that came with the bag. If you still have the tag please tell us the number!

I have the bag and just looked at the card inside the zipper section, here is the info on the card:

Style Color
E820H BL 32384 65360853


I hope that helps!

Just to add, I would LOVE to have purple inside. When I got the bag (and I was on cloud nine for days! ), I said I didn't know why it was red instead of purple. Although, unlike others, I have had no problem with the red lining. I will be very tempted to get the purple as well...

The Style number on the tag in my bag is E820H color is BL. This is followed by two other numbers. 32384, then 65367750. Not sure if this helps - this was the info I found on the registration card (which I apparently never sent in).

$1800 is extremely tempting. Of course, mine is used, so it wouldn't get that much. What I really would love is a matching wallet.

I still have the tags, but there aren't any numbers that start with a "D". The style is E820H BL and the item number is 400007854505. Hope this helps!

I'm one of the ones who had issues with staining. My white Columbia coat (which cost almost as much as the purse) keeps getting stained every time I reach in my bag, even after 3 months of daily use. I'm wondering if D&B would allow me to exchange my bag for one of the new purple ones???

Keep in mind that the last number, the long number, is likely the serial number of your personal bag. Going by everyone's posts, looks like the numbers we need to be concerned with are E820H BL and 32384.

Ugh, that's awful. Mine seems to have stopped to a point. If I rub something against it (just tested with a piece of paper), it will stain. But it seems to take some effort.

Has anyone else had problems with the black flaking off? I don't know how else to describe it. I can take a picture and try to post it this weekend. It's almost like the pattern is just painted over white. When I first got it, I noticed a few spots on the bottom of the bag where there were some white flecks almost. I thought maybe I'd brushed it up against my car and gotten dirt on it. But it really seems like it's more the pattern coming off. I've noticed a few other spots - I guess from where I banged it against something. I'm pretty careful with this bag and I've never had any of my other Dooney's do this. On the other hand, this is the only dooney I own that is black.

I think you're right. But there's also a bag ID number on a tag that's sewn into the lining. A lot of numbers for one bag.

I'd LOVE a matching wallet! Ah!

Mine had a few white spots on it when I got it. They were very minor, and didn't really bug me too much. Although, I have started to notice the underside of the straps are sort of flaking/cracking, for lack of better word. They almost look fuzzy, like fleece. I swear they didn't look like that when I got the purse. I never understood why one side of the straps was left unfinished like that. For the money we paid, I would think the quality should be a little nicer than that. This is the first purse I've ever paid more than $20 for, and honestly I'm not impressed. Don't get me wrong, I love my purse....I just wish the quality would be a little more representative of the price I paid.

My straps look like that, too. This Dooney has gotten more use than my other bags, so I can't really compare. But my other large purse has the rolled straps (not sure if that description makes sense), so I don't have the ragged underside. I love the purse, too, but completely understand your disappointment.

I admit I didn't have the shape memorized, as it was for my wife, it just seemed different. But, teh quality issues are very disconcerting.

Also, for those thinking of selling on eBay. Remember the number one rule. DO NOT sell anything on ebay you aren't willing to just give away. Especially a bag with defects. Someone can buy it, say it is defective, and they want the money back. They then send you an empty box back, with a tracking number, and ebay refunds their money, plus they keep the bag.

It happens ALL THE TIME. And for something with a 600% markup, I would never sell it on ebay.

If your bags are under a year old they still fall under the D&B guarantee and will be repaired.

 

[focusondisney]

I love mine too, but $1800 is pretty tempting...

NO, I shouldn't, I mustn't ...


Kidding! I do love it and I haven't had any problems with the red either, although I don't really own anything white that would rub on it. It is a HUGE bag though, way bigger than I thought from the pictures. Keep that in mind if you're waiting to buy one.

Don't get too excited about the $1800. The bag is listed for that, but it's been there for weeks. So while someone is selling for $1800, nobody is buying for $1800!

 

[magentarhps93]

Thanks! Maybe I heard "D" and she said E. I will call and ask tomorrow.

Also I'm one of the few people who really liked the red. At first I was thinking of just swapping with someone who wanted a purple with the red BUT perhaps they fixed more than just the lining on the new product? So maybe I'll stick with the purple.

Also thought: The E... number might only be fore the bags with the red lining, the purple may have a different one. I'll try see if I can speak to anyone a little higher up who might have relatively some idea of what's going on.

It *did*sell on ebay a few weeks ago for like 938 something. It was listed with the $35 cosmetics bag you get from the website. That's an entire family of WDW tickets!

 

[DisFam95]

Is there a new version of the HM Dooney w/ purple cotton lining?

 

[DisFam95]

I was also told by the cast member that supposedly next year they will be coming out with 2 new bags with the same print but who knows what size or style.

This was dec 2013


So May is a big Disney/Dooney anniversary event with the release of new bags and styles. Hopefully they have redone the bag in purple (what everyone wants anyway) and has been busy producing enough for a bigger release.

I'm not prepared to be waking up in the middle of the night for the next 2 months checking on this!

That's a lot of money

does anyone know the size of the new haunted mans. d&b handbag?

It'll be the same as the old one- it's a carrier bag, so it's pretty big. I'm on my phone so I can't get the dimensions from the web page.
