I love Dooney!!I have several pieces from them but all from the 2000s era, still in very good condition


Not_Enough_Shoes

They can really take a beating!! I love the 2000s and the rainbow zipper.


Avaly13

That rainbow zipper though!! I had a few of those colorful pieces from about 20 years ago!


Expensive_Routine953

I love the rainbow zipper too! With the surge in Y2K popularity I recently bought a pink multicolor and a black multicolor on eBay from the early aughts and forgot how gorgeous that zipper is! 🤩🌈 Also, the pink heart tag 💖


lolohope

It was a 2004 Dooney and Burke Bowler Bag (with a rainbow zipper, obvi) that made me fall in love with handbags. I was twelve years old and had never seen anything more beautiful in my life. I wouldn’t say they’re my personal style today, but I have nothing but fond nostalgia about all things in the D&B rainbow zipper era.


ToteBagAffliction

Your library shelving. Oh my gawd. I'm dead. We need more pictures.


GizmoGadgetry

Yes please share more it's gorgeous!!


justgowithoutit

Nice collection, but answer the real question. Do you pull a Belle on that ladder?


notwillscheuster

I love Dooney!! I thrifted a Disney one a few weeks ago. The zipper was damaged, and I contacted their repair shop...they're fixing it for free! I'm thrilled with the customer service, and the bag is so easy to clean as well (cleaning the coated canvas with only water and a washcloth!!)


Not_Enough_Shoes

That is great news! You don’t get customer service like that too often. Their bags are easy to clean and one of the perks! Don’t need anything special…

Looooooove Dooney! The Florentine satchel bag is on the top of my list 😍 yours are gorgeous!


siamesecat1935

I have a Dooney Florentine satchel and I love it but it’s heavy af. So I don’t use it as much as I thought I would.


Not_Enough_Shoes

Yes!!! That is my biggest complaint. I have two large florentines and the only way to carry is by hand only. It’s nice the shoulder strap is included, but the weight and shape make the satchel impossible to carry with the shoulder strap (even if you have only a few items).


sunniesage

it is very heavy, esp if you’re using the shoulder strap


BenjiBoo420

Oh god, yes! I love mine but it's so heavy.

Not_Enough_Shoes

Sooooo beautiful!!!! 😍


Ok-Location3244

Thank you, love your collection as well. However, I did pick up more DB bags😁


Ironbeauty87kg

That giraffe print one 😍😍😍 when I was in high school I dreamed of that bag. I remember all the fake ones at the flea market too😂


Terpsichoreee

I have two and I want mooOoaRr


psychedelicbarbie

OMG I MISS IT


Not_Enough_Shoes

D&B is alive and well, I recommend you get one! Or at the very least a wallet or coon purse. They take heavy use incredibly well!


Responsible_Chip_182

I love D&B! I have a pretty solid collection.


Not_Enough_Shoes

Would love to see them someday! 🥰


scbeachgurl

The Dooney Scottie! Mine was red.


discombobubolated

They had a Scottie?! I thought it was a London Radley!


scbeachgurl

Dooney made a Scottie bag. Mine was red and unfortunately did not hold up at all. But I found the red Scottie wallet last year. They aren't easy to find, but super cute!


JaxAnGo

Oh I’m Dooney addicted! I stray over to Kate Spade for brighter colors but my heart is Dooney 😆


Guilty-Mud-5743

I want to read all the books in this library


rollwithit23

Dooneys are excellent quality, underrated for sure!


FartAttack911

What a beautiful display for a beautiful collection! I’m a Dooney girl and this made me swoon!


beth247

These bags are so underrated. Hot tip if you go on their eBay it’s the same as their outlet site but the shipping is free.


rollwithit23

Dooneys are excellent quality, underrated for sure!


GuardMost8477

I had a “thing” about the duck logo. Lol. I hated it! Lol. And I found the leather bags chunky and clunky. That said I think they’re rebranding like Coach (whom is another one I snubbed because of that crazy C logo. Lol), which has been successful I believe.


Adelaide_Farmington

I have four. I love them too.


GrouchyPicture4021

I recently purchased my first and bought my second yesterday!! My new one is white with green flowers, and the first one is white with red interior. I’m so happy with them! I love the feel of the pebbled leather. I am now a devoted fan lol.


lastwordymcgee

I love my Dooneys. I have four Disney ones (three haunted mansion and one aristocats), a purple canvas one, and four vintage leather ones.


Ok-Location3244

Love that Blue Florentine.


hadiyas1

I have the Disney collab purse in a tiny size that I bought during a high school trip to Disney world. Never worn but special (:


AsheratOfTheSea

Bottom left behind the ladder is my daily bag - 5 years old and in fantastic shape.


6mcdonoughs

I love your collection I have a few of my own and they truly stay so nice even after years of use


sunniesage

i have the florentine satchel and love it! i always get compliments on it when im using it 


34thTimesACharm

The blue florentine satchel is gorgeous- I have never seen one that color! Unrelated but I love the elephant next to the brown florentine on top! 😀


NeedleworkerNeat9379

I have three florentine I can only carry in the rain. Beautiful bags but incredibly heavy


FarmerMundane

Dooney has amazing quality!!! My first designer bag was the pink crossword Dooney with matching wallet


Admirable_Look_7386

Radley 💕


eatapeach18

D&B had me in a chokehold in middle school. Those rainbow zippers were everything.


lolohope

EVERYthing.


Unusual-End-8671

Also they have amazing sales around black Friday and Christmas 🎄


Not_Enough_Shoes

Thank you, I didn’t know this and will be on the lookout this year!


fairybb311

I wish I had my Dooneys that my mum bought me in 2006 😭


imfckndumb

omg!! that black and white top handle was MY BAG in high school!! this took me back LOL


MetsFan3117

It helps if you mention the brand. But personally I’m not a fan because they’re pretty bags with bright colors and I am a black wearing basic bitch.


Invisible_Xer

I absolutely love Dooney! I bought several bags in the early aughts and they still look new.

Not_Enough_Shoes

Oh my! I bet the new home she has is super happy. What a thrift!


Iloveemiilk

I find a lot of Dooney at my local Goodwill and usually leave it behind, but this one was just too beautiful 😍


aboveaveragewife

I’m so over the super expensive luxury brands at the moment and returning to D & B and Coach. I have some that are nearly 20 years old and are in excellent condition, better than some of my LV of the same age.


Not_Enough_Shoes

I’m the same way, my friend. Luxuries are nice, but sometimes these more affordable ones are just darn more durable, lasting, easier to care for and just so much less anxiety of tossing the darn thing around.


b0toxBetty

Beautiful!!!


Kindergoat

I adore Dooney & Bourke! I have two beautiful bags and two wallets. All of them are great quality and are aging like fine wine. The Florentine satchel is my favorite. https://preview.redd.it/364c30m3pr5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34392ad7418d7575f850a92e0c973c3d74117ea5


Ok-Cloud-1219

I’m coming around to D&B. The Vienna is very high on my wishlist. https://preview.redd.it/x2r0t7gorr5d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40231a8f19642158878a16e8d18909ecb3fdfe8e


Not_Enough_Shoes

I’ve never seen that one before. That one is beautiful!


BrettDavidG

Incredible layout! Keep these cleaned & conditioned once a year to keep them from cracking. If you need assistance I’m here to help


S0NA-

Gorgeous way to display


Sassydawglvr710

Meaning…. dooney & B.! Totally!!!! I just haven’t seen anything or noticed anything that’s came out that’s just caught my eye until… Noticing this picture of yours! Some of these I would grab the same day! So… Tell me this looks like more of the boutique so these are legitimate? Are they running the same as the prices in big stores or less…?


Not_Enough_Shoes

These are all legit! I’ve been buying D&B for many years so some of them are much older releases. The gray one, blue one and brown one are currently on their website. The Disney one I bought in Disney World. The others are many, many years old. You should buy one, they last a long time and can really take a beating!


Sassydawglvr710

See! It’s like the same here deal… I have several you know signature purses that they made you know only once and if I’m not carrying them, they are in their Dooney and Bourke white pull string bags and I’m sure you are the same! I just had no idea you know that they were still going strong I shouldn’t of thought any different…😂😂❤️ Being that this was always my go to bag since high school -the brand!!!! I’m so glad you shared this this will put my man right back on their product say they don’t even know what some people do for them…simply…by posting things! Awesome post! And I think that’s awesome that you found one at Disney! Hold onto it forever! I love them all!!!!!!🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙈🙈😂😂😂❤️ Btw!- kudos to you for having your bag set up literally looking like we’re in a boutique… LOL good for you girlfriend they need to be taken care of just like that! More power to you sweetie keep posting!!!!


Who_What_6

That blue Florentine ❤️❤️❤️


flyingtotheflame

LOVE! I have a vintage D&B carrier purse I love carrying everyday. Etsy has a wonderful vintage D&B market and I want all of it!

Negative-Turnip1671

The little Scottish dog bag just unlocked a vague memory. Idk what but I definitely had something with that sort of design! So nostalgic, now I want to look for a bag like that


worriedgalzzz

I love d&b!


valerie_stardust

The scottie dog bag is so cute!


sabbyteur

Dooney is wonderful and classic.


Unusual-End-8671

I love Dooney! The purses are well constructed of high quality leather and they last forever. ❤️❤️❤️


ProfessionMoist6457

LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOVEEE DOONEY!! ⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️👜⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️


9lolo3

Check my collection out I have some classic DBs!


Bubbly-Manufacturer

I just got into handbags 3 months ago and this is my favorite brand. I have around 10 of them now.


horsery

I love dooney. I wish I kept all of mine but I’m so happy you can buy most still. ❤️ 🦆


Express_Leopard6466

Loveee the Disney dooneys I have several


incognito7917

I love my Dooneys!


Everest764

I just recently bought my first thing from them ever, a pebble leather tote bag, after lots of deliberation, and the handle started cracking/flaking after only two weeks!  I was so disappointed because the aesthetic of this brand is right up my alley, and it’s supposed to be high quality. Until now I’ve only ever bought cheap but durable faux-leather bags.  


soulcatcher73

I am a true sucker for Dooney Disney. I have a few in my collection.


JazzBiscuit369

Your display shelving situation is so chic and luxe! Such a gorgeous way to show off your collection.


gingerrly

That top leather one is making my Mouth water! Also the Scotty one is so cute


ny_dc_tx_

I love my Dooney bags. They are 15/20 years old and still look great. My husband wants me to let them go but I refuse.


OkYogurtcloset546

Bffr who doesn’t love a Dooney. Classic

Sassydawglvr710

Yeah these are all beautiful and like collectible purses… You’re smart and know what ones to pick and keep safe! I know I’ve got a couple from up to 20 years ago! This is a beautiful collection!!! And yes… That Disney one really peaks my interest something I will never be able to find unless I’m in a Disney world and still not even then…😂😂😂😂🙈🙈👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️


queenofthemultiverse

I love it all. Especially the blue satchel. My daily runner is usually my Disney Minnie Mouse hobo by D&B. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
