When I see closets filled with so many purses, especially the really good looking leather ones, which is my favorite material on a purse, I don't think I could ever leave those closets until either I pass out from the smell of the leather, or the purses themselves "impress" me well. Only real purse lovers know that a collection of leather purses like these are trouble waiting to be encountered. I can only imagine. A leather purse obsession like this is literally the answer to my prayers. 😂🌩️🔥😍💦🤩🖤
For the last 25 years I have only carried Dooney just because of those reasons. Once you carry a Dooney there is no other bag that compares. I have probably 150 and stopped buying but after seeing your collection you have inspired me to buy more. There is nothing I like better than going to my purse closet every day and seeing which one I will carry for the day. The other thing is they never ever go out of style. So you can spend the money because it won't be wasted. I love your collections, especially the blues!
Your amazing collection helps me to be more at peace with the size of my collection. Every so often I will ask myself if I’m a collector or hoarder. That usually happens when I’m looking for space for the newest bag family member. I recently added two more❤
I see young pre-teens and early teenagers sometimes carrying a small Dooney but more than likely it was a gift from a parent, aunt or grandparent providing her with a ‘good’ first real handbag. But you are correct. Maybe late twenties on up carry Dooney and Burke. I’ve been buying more of them lately. And fellow handbag lover here and might I add, your closet and handbag collection is quite impressive. I really need to figure out more handbag storage options.😕. New to your channel. I’ll be checking out more of your content.🙂. Also, did anyone ever mention to you that you sometimes sound a lot like Kenya Moore? I was thinking your voice was familiar then it dawned on me that you sound a lot like her to me anyway.
Dooney & Bourke is an American luxury leather goods brand founded in 1975 by designer Peter Dooney and entrepreneur Frederic Bourke in Norwalk, Connecticut. Originally a men's supplier of belts, suspenders, and ties, the company now specializes in handbags and small accessories.
It’s a wonderful thing that their American made some people get so caught up in foreign made products , and they have a hard time getting in touch with the manufacturers, but that’s a wonderful thing Being made in America when people always talking about Italian leather and they going to pay for it too it’s still a cow it’s just over in Italy 🇮🇹 . Now Just letting you know, I am a senior citizen I should’ve said a platinum senior citizen, and I’ve been carrying Dooney and Bourke for me years, the quality to me is still better than the quality of other those overpriced handbags. They still keep their integrity after so many years. The quality is still amazing the bags take a lick and keep on kicking like a Timex watch. I don’t know if you owe enough to know that old commercial, but they last long time with everything being an equal of course if you be an idiot and just do great damage eventually it will wear out but I mean just regular wear and tear on the bag they have a high endurance, while still keeping up with the times, even if they didn’t the quality of the material I totally enjoy even if I get it used the quality is still nice, I’m not always so much in the price of the bag, if I can find one online in the thrift store, I’m cool, because the material no matter what material they use from vinyl, to whatever it’s gonna be made nice, Why pay thousand dollars for a handbag because of a name and it doesn’t stand up with time, My friend a few years ago I mean maybe not a few 30 years ago before my children was born. She paid close to $4000 for a Louis Vuitton. She had to keep taking it back to Nordstrom’s to get it fixed., I didn’t understand why she just didn’t go get her a Dooney and Bourke, but she was so caught up in the brand name that she couldn’t see, and then cry about to have an Italian leather. A cow skin is a cow skin. Whether is in America or in Italy just because the cow is in Italy. Now I have an Italian bag it’s still cowhide, so why doesn’t make a difference what location the animal is in to make the bag better, It’s the making of the bag and that’s why once again I standby Dooney and Bourke. The quality is still amazing. After all these years they still going strong with the quality of their bags no matter what material that they use it could be canvas it could be vinyl or leather is will be made in constructed very well , no matter where I get the bag from from hand down to on sale to thrift store, it still will be made! So that’s why I’m a Dooney and Bourke , Lady have been and will always be I don’t get caught up in all these other handbags they come that are popular and everybody’s buying them spend 4000 $10,000 for them and it’s still leather, I may come the same cowhide unless it’s crocodile or alligator or ostrich or lamb skin and baby lamb skin is even softer, I understand the price is different, but I enjoyed Dooney and Bourke, and always will be, my mom passed away a few months ago, and as I was cleaning out her closet, I found her old school, timeless, leather handbag she never even talked about Dooney and Burke, needless that I say, no one else seem to be concerned about the bag, and no one fault over it, so I just took it, because I knew exactly what it was, it was still intact still beautiful you could tell she didn’t use it that much, but it was still a kickback purse from way back in the day still timeless still a classic and that’s one of the bags I carry with me all the time since she passed I had no idea she had this bag in her closet or I would’ve asked for a long time ago, she had other handbags in her closet, but none of them compared to the quality of this bag , beautiful leather black perfect for any occasion, She also has some coach bags. I got them too, but they don’t impress me as much as a Dooney and Bourke, when I saw that one, I was so happy 😁.. so you are correct Dooney and Burke it’s not the trend right now, but who cares I don’t allow the trend to sway me you see that was Fashion is all about, you embrace it someone else see it and they’ll go. Oh that’s what we’re doing again now and they catch on but even if they didn’t these handbags of priceless., or out of style I like the idea that they still sell well and no matter what the Dooney and Bourke purses are still in the game. They even went through the coronavirus and still came out kicking. The company wasn’t shut down because they still sell extremely well they stand on their own! So I’m a Dooney and Burke lady for life because they stand the test of time in the quality is amazing!! and they’re not a fashion fad and they’re not a gimmick! There are legit timeless classic Purses. They like the old buildings that are landmarks , you can’t touch landmarks once the city approve it as a landmark you can’t touch it you can’t tear it down only if they allow you to because they have stood the test of time there classics, Their landmarks Dooney Burke purses are a landmark timeless! P.S. you have a beautiful! And you’re right, not all these high bags come in amazing colors and have a variety of colors and material. I really enjoy doing Dooney and Bourke Patent leather !!
You dropped the mike on your collection video. I had to subscribe! A subbie asked the name of my vintage fuschia hobo , I wonder if u can look at it and name it. Let me know.❤ and yes the altos are a dream, especially the larger ones, perfect for long meetings at work.
Wow! Love your DB collection and the colors and styles. YES Dooney’s are the best ever on the planet. My favorite brand since 1992 and still rocking with them! TFS 😊❤
Dooneys are "work horse" bags for me. I can fill my Dooney with things I probably shouldn't and can sometimes be hard on my bags, these bags are durable, quality bags and lovely!!
these days yes, they aren't trendy to the young bucks no more. But I got my first Dooney bucket shoulder bag in signature print when I was 25 yrs old. It was up there with the Coach hype. The quality has been always impeccable! I am 40 now and just feel the call for collecting Dooney again.... It was one of my first love and I am coming back to it :)
Because they are great company with amazing quality leather. I honestly think some of the Dooney & Bourke leather bags are better than these thousand dollar bags that are out there. My favorite bags in my collection are Dooney & Bourke. They’re mostly vintage but still.
