New! Haunted Mansion-Inspired Dooney & Bourke Bag

[tarak]

Well, I didn't get an email response (wasn't expecting one this soon). But when I got home, there was a package waiting for me. I got the green and red lining combo. I do love the green. The red is the only thing that gives me pause. I'll ponder things and decide whether I want to send it back for purple.

Hmm. This does seem somewhat strange, since the scuttle is that the new bags will have the purple lining. I like the green as well, but like you I'm not sure about the red/green combo. I can't recall what parts of the combo bags have the red lining. If it's just the lower part inside with the flap/tassels/pockets green, you really won't be hit with the red so much once you load it up with items. If you do decide to keep it, you'll have one of the super-rare purses.

The suede on the tassels and the top of the bag is green. The rest is red - inside of the bag, both side pockets. It's mostly noticeable on the pocket without the flap. If I'm carrying it, you won't really see the green. I do wonder, though, if the regular D&B bags with that combination of suede and lining weren't selling and they retrofitted some to replace the defective bags. Like we're so crazy to get our hands on one, we'll just keep the odd replacement.

The funny thing is that on Saturday, I saw a woman with the regular D&B Smith bag (the white one). I was really tempted to ask her what the lining looked like but i thought she would think I was nuts so I kept to myself lol Crazy Bag Lady lol that's when i looked up online to see what the lining looked like and noticed it was different. So maybe they switched it because it was selling so good..... haha wishful thinking...

LOL. I would have been tempted, too. I have a friend who was able to get one of the purple lined bags. I'm still debating what to do. At the end of the day, it's a purse. An expensive purse, yes. But it's not like the fate of the world hangs on whether or not I keep it. I'm leaning towards keeping it. I think I'm more annoyed at not having been asked "do you want the green/red combo, or would you rather wait and get a purple one when we have more in stock." It seems like that would have been a reasonable question to ask customers.

I completely agree. if they said they would contact us they should have asked! Silly People!

I can't remember if anyone has mentioned this (it's a loooong thread!), but another lady further embellished her bag with the Haunted Mansion skeleton key sold in the parks (the one with the bat wings/logo). It looked kind of cool, so I went ahead and snagged one off Ebay, since we don't have a trip planned in the near future. I don't think I'd keep it on all the time, but I thought it would be fine around Halloween.

I was just on the Disney Store site, and the HM bag is listed on both the D&B page and the HM page (they weren't there the other day). It's currently showing sold out, but maybe they're going to have some available soon.

That is a super cute idea! If I am ever able to get one of these bags, I think I would like to do that too!

Checked this morning, and it's not on either page now. They do have some other new HM items, though.

They added it yesterday morning. I usually check every morning but yesterday I just didn't and I could kick myself. By the time I got on they were sold out. They randomly add them to the site, no particular day, but from what I hear it's mostly in the early mornings. 1 or 2am. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I want one of those bags so bad and I'd like the most correct information!

Many people on this thread had luck in the early morning hours of a Monday.
They haven't been added in about 3-4 weeks so I think I'll set my alarm this Monday around 2am and hope for the best
Good Luck Everyone!

I ordered mine around 6:30 a.m. or so (EST) on a Monday after Disney Alli (thank you!!) posted on this thread they were available that morning. If it hadn't been for receiving email notification of her post, I probably would have been out of luck because they sold out fairly soon after that. I'd definitely suggest checking as early as possible. I think it's great everyone on this thread is keeping each other posted.

Let's hope for some big time pixie dust that they have a better grasp of inventory demands when they add the new items this fall. This has been insane!

Been checking the Disney website for this bag, but I never see it on there. Is there a place that I can purchase it when I go to WDW in October? I'm not a status bag kind of girl, but I really love this bag.

 

[2010_Bride]

OMG I give up! It's 2:50am and the bag has been online since at least 2:10am. The button says "add to bag" but it won't add. I've tried pushing it like 20 times but nothing will add or show in my cart
This is soooooooooo frustrating!!!!!

I can't even get it to show up online

 

[4HOLIDAYS]

I cant seem to ever find in online at the store website! I am going to wdw in 3 weeks. Will it be avail there? Has anyone actually seen it in ANY shops, or just online?

Were you ever able to make the purchase? It's showing sold out now.

Are they're just holding all the inventory until the fall because this plan of releasing a dozen or so for sale every couple of weeks is crazy. I'm hoping they do this print in several different styles of bag for the new Haunted Mansion store. This bag is a little big for me, but so help me if it ever ends up on a bucket style bag!

Nope
Each time I hit the add to bag button a bar came across the screen saying it seems to be sold out.
I refreshed the page a few times until after 3am hoping somehow it would add it, but it never did.
I look like a zombie today! This is the last time I set my alarm in the middle of the night for this bag. Like others have said, hopefully there will be more stock in the fall when they roll out their line of HM bags.
