5 Reasons Why I Only Carry Dooney & Bourke!!!

[@lynndupree1205]

Just something absolutely yummy about that horse-y, outdoorsy, yet totally sophisticated Dooney look! The contrast topstitching, the chunky gold hardware, the adorable little feet on the bottom. ❤ Some orher things I love about D&B,,, the ladylike way a Dooney sits up straight instead of slumping over, the fold-down rolled leather handles that last and last through years of wear, and of course the well designed interior of each bag. I always compliment another Dooney sister when we meet, because after all, a quality bag speaks more about her than any other part of her outfit!

[@dooneygirl77]

Yassss! Well stated!

[@deliaesclavon7441]

There's nothing better than the Dooney & Burke Handbag

[@dooneygirl77]

Yasssssss!

[@LoveMyBrad]

Yesss! I only carry Dooney, nothing better!

[@CamilleenPointe]

I worked in a clothing resale store, and I was impressed with the quality of Dooney & Bourke. Some of the more expensive luxury and designer brands weren't necessarily well made.

[@creativecrane]

I’m 24 and I have loved Dooney & Bourkes for over 10 years! I got my first crossbody at 13! Glad my generation hasn’t realized the quality of them yet 😉Love this video! TFS!❤

[@dooneygirl77]

You have awesome taste! Thanks for sharing!

[@kaydublin5164]

Holy smokes😮, I’ve never seen such a lovely collection.😊

[@RB-gt8bf]

Dooney girl here and discovered this in my mid 50's. I only own 7 Dooney's but that is enough because they are work horses that look better as they age! Thank you from this older sophisticated lady! BTW I have one Coach bag my late parents gave me over 20 years ago. She is my vintage bag with sweet memories of my late parents attached.

[@dooneygirl77]

🤗🤗🤗❤️

[@Kheekhai]

Im 30 and i really love D&B bag.. i love the quality and craftmanship and knowing that they are made in us.

[@DesertGal]

Hi @Kheekhai & @dooneygirl77 I checked my Dooney Brenna Gretta just now and mine says it’s made in the Philippines? Are there certain models made in the US or should I check each bag as I shop? Thank you Melissa

[@ursularhoward3626]

I grow on Dooney & Bourke bags since the 70's that was my first handbag was Dooney & Bourke my parents give me as a birthday gift

[@rikeshafoster]

I can’t remember if I’ve responded already or not 😂 I’ve been a Dooneynista since my high school days in the mid-late 1990s. My mom bought my first two. I’ve owned a few other brands, but they don’t hold a candle to the quality and craftsmanship of Dooney. Years ago I had a Florentine tote that I got water stains on the 1st time I wore it. I swore I would never buy another one. Fast forward to this year, and I decided to try the Florentine out again after seeing the awesome sale the website had. I am in love! The softness, the smell, the hardware…just exquisite! The other brands wished they could!! Now I own 6 Florentines! I own pebble, Saffiano, AWL and Sorrento leather Dooneys as well and all of them are beautiful! But that Florentine is breathtaking ❤ Thanks for sharing this video and I look forward to more content!

[@dooneygirl77]

Florentine is my favorite! Thanks for your lovely comment! Enjoy your Dooneys!

[@aliciacraig7637]

I’m a Dooney girl as well. That is all I carry, has been the case for years. I bought my first Dooney as a senior in HS and have been hooked since. Their quality is simply unmatched ❤

[@fancifemarie1770]

Girllll!!!! I can smell your closet through this video🤤😍!!!! That's the first thing I do when I get my new DB bags...SMELL THEM! Your collection is beautiful!!!❤

[@naztava5888]

Haha, love that fresh leather smell 😌

[@Judy-dq6kl]

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!

[@SimplySheilaB]

Wow, what a collection 🥰😍

[@lisasaims3007]

Brahmin is fantastic too & holds up very well

[@SuzWhat]

I agree. There is nothing like a Dooney. I buy/carry a few other brands but Dooney has my heart. Thanks for sharing the eye candy. Peace and Love...SuzWhat ☮️💛

[@peggyharrison3764]

I am 54 now and have been buying Dooneys since I was 16 and will love them till the end. You have an AMAZING collection and I was fanning myself when you passed the $600 beauty. WOW. I lean more toward the Disney line and the Vintage at this point but some of the new ones catch my eye.

[@Wilma.Flintstone]

I'm so jealous of your collection, it's gorgeous!

[@cheryl9715]

I got my doony bag for $35.00 at second hand store with the dustbag!! LOL I didn't even know it was a designer bag, till someone at work told me how much it was worth, more then 8 years ago it was worth more then, $1000.00. Have no idea what its worth today, its a nice dark green alligator, they don't make this one anymore.🐊🐊🐊 I just love this bag❤❤❤.

[@mitchellsims624]

My husband found a Dooney & Bourke Willow Tote 24 for $40. 😂

[@ginacook1208]

Dooney Girl here.. I only buy Dooney.. Your collection is very very impressive!!!

[@joshainsworth1540]

Beautiful collection!! Very impressive

[@lindap7719]

Oh my Lord, your collection is phenomenal!!! I couldn't agree with your 5 reasons more. I looked at bags at Saks yesterday. For $1150 and up, the bags didn't hold a candle to Dooney quality. Others can have those bags. I'll stick with Dooney. 🌻

[@Sweetnesssharon]

You got me beat.. I have about 40 Dooney and bourke bags.. gotta step up my game! lol 😊😂

[@dooneygirl77]

40 is a good number!

[@Annes.Archives]

Love your Dooney and Bourke collection!

[@shandaclemmons2839]

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!!

[@tinkerbell8334]

Enjoyed your review.. Turning 50 on Friday and hopefully receiving my red satchel DB as one of my gifts only my 5th DB I will own and most expensive headed to me ..Loved your collection 😍

[@jacquelinemckinney4147]

I also have the faux croco large crossbows bags in 4 colors and large pebble leather tote bags in 10 colors to match some of my many other dooney purses. I love them all. I also own most high end luxury name brand expensive bags but you are correct in that the quality of a Dooney leather bags beats the others hands down. I lived this vlog. I would love to see you style the bags with your every day fashion choices and also special occasion fashion. I think that would be fun to watch. God bless 🙌.

[@brittascharmsandbeads9057]

What a fantastic collection ! 😍 And such great organization, love your color coordinated shelves ! 🤗

[@ALLara]

Omg! Your collection is so nice 😍 😍 love me some Dooney. 100% agree with you about D&B bags

[@DREAMCATCHER33316]

Great collection I cut up poster board to lay across my shelves so lines won’t go on bags with these shelves

[@Jan.S]

Wow! Gorgeous collection!! I need to see that gold shimmer bag!

[@hippiegypsygirl]

All the light blue bags are stunning! Your collection is insane! How do you even afford so many, and keep them so organized too!

[@beatrizguerra7655]

Your collection is STUNNING!!!!

[@Playgrl966]

I love dooney and Bourke too but I have strong attachment to the it bags and charm bags from the mid/late 2000’s

[@sheRoyals]

Ohhhh ❤what is that first bag you showed with the white and tan leather?

[@djking247]

Such a beautiful Dooney collection. Tfs your reasons and sharing your beautiful handbags

[@diogenes7047]

Very impressive collection, and I love how you are able to store them, easy to see and pick one out!

[@sayfonhkunsak9141]

Wow I love your collection 😊they are amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing

[@mrsseasea]

Back when I started carrying D&B around 2000, I bought a push lock over shoulder bag. The long pointy thing that locked into the square lock broke off……..this was 5 years into my carrying it. I contacted D&B. And they sent me a box to return and they replaced that part! For free! I agree, this was the only time I had to use the repair service but definitely A+ service.

[@dooneygirl77]

That's why I love Dooney! I have had a similar experience with a handle.

[@LaGiaGarcia]

What a lovely collection you have! This is an absolute dream.😍

[@Blaqbudafly]

the fact that they are all color coded 🙌🏾💰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brigitw5867]

Thanks for sharing! I did not know all of this about Dooney and Bourke. Makes me love their items that much more! I’ve got kids and am rough on handbags so I need something that can handle the wear and tear. Other brands just don’t hold up!

[@anitasfavorites4821]

Yes indeed, Dooney & Bourke is an excellent brand! It’s so enjoyable seeing all your Gorgeous Dooneys🤩

[@brokewithexpensivetaste]

I'm really beginning to understand just how much quality Dooney and Bourke is and so I've been adding more and more to my collection. I do like Coach but the quality isn't the same and a lot of times it's a lot more expensive.

[@dooneygirl77]

I agree!

[@lynndupree1205]

Well said! Every now and then, I shop the other so-called high-end bags too, but they just don't look substantial enough, simple yet elegant enough, or well made enough compared to D&B. Dooney's contrasting hand-stitched sewing shows the excellent construction of each bag, and the rolled leather handles give longevity to them! I can always tell by her handbag, whether a woman has real taste!

[@Katydid1]

​@@lynndupree1205 Handbage and shoes as well.

[@ThroughTheHaze]

I love Dooney & Bourke as does my mom. They go on sale too. Just subscribed to your channel!

[@mimipeq3000]

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 :)

[@christinestansberry9868]

I agree 💯. Back in the day I couldn't afford them, but now I consider myself a collector. Didn't know about the trade in program. Thanks again.

[@tanyabell9316]

Neither did I. I'm going to look into that program

[@andrealester614]

I love my sooner bags as well and been carrying them since age 25. I am 52 now so I love them.

[@cdiannelopez9082]

I love dooney! My collection isn’t as big but I have a little bit lol! My first Dooney was bought as a gift when I turned 15. My parents paid a lot of money back then. I still have it and I’m 47. The purse and the coin purse looks great! I need to wipe them down and stuff with paper like you have yours! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@TerasBoutique]

Wow 🤩 I I’m just looking at all the beautiful colors and bags wow 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼love your collection sweetie

[@juneslyfe]

WOW!! What a beautiful & extensive collection👜👜👜 gorgeous! 💃🏾💃🏾 I too love D & B quality. I’ve grown my collection since 2020. I love the quality. TFS🫶🏾 New subbie!!

[@teeturner2798]

I love love love my Dooneys. But my one gripe is that I feel they don't have a lot of good convertible shoulder style bags like the coach Parker style. I would love it if they would do some chain strap styles in their alto or florentine leather. The alto leather is so yummy to me.

[@deanvillarante3261]

Oh sister! I remember seeing one of your videos some time ago and then I rewatched this particular one and just yesterday, I got myself my first Dooney! 😍

[@dooneygirl77]

Awwh! Which one did you get?

[@joanna9242]

Your totally right about the quality. I have Fendi and Salvatore Ferragamo bags and they are not the same quality as a Dooney bag.

[@melindamcclain835]

You have a very nice collection. Dooney & Bourke are high quality and craftsmanship for the price.

[@shaejolpc]

I just purchased my first DB over a LV and I don’t regret it….

[@dooneygirl77]

Awesome!

[@VintageSac]

Love your collection and how it’s so color organized 😊 I’ve always been a Dooney fan, but recently started moving back to it from other brands. The styles may not be as exciting, but you know the leather is going to last a lifetime.

[@BatesPhotography]

Just got my very first Dooney today! Anyway, I really LOVED seeing your collection! Great video! ❤️

[@dooneygirl77]

Awesome! Enjoy!

[@cosmeticsandpurseswithevelyn]

Oh my God! That has to be the BIGGEST nost remarkable purse colle rion Ive have ever seen in all of my life! Totally AMAZING 👏😍 New Subscriber here 🤩

[@jacquelinemckinney4147]

I love my Dooney's as well. I have the zip zip's on every color in pebble leather and faux ostrich. I also have every color of the top of the line florentine leather satchels.

[@YankeeinTexas812]

Your reason #2 is all the reason you need lol.. nice collection!! 😀

[@DazzleMe77]

I absolutely agree with everything you said! I love that you’re faithful to the brand. I really like them as well! Thanks for sharing!!

[@no1bratnaustin]

I’m so jelly of your collection! Love them for you!

[@MrsQuesFavoriteThings]

Love your collection! Your organization is top notch! TFS!

[@shellegriffin]

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❤

[@dooneygirl77]

I’m really embarrassed by my collection! I only shared because my daughters talked me into it!😂

[@conniepleasantnails]

😳 Wow, how many bags do you have your collection is beautiful ❤

[@dooneygirl77]

236😫😂

[@conniepleasantnails]

@@dooneygirl77 I can tell you’ve been collecting for a while because I see some styles I have never seen before. Storage is a serious problem for me. I live in a very small condo and our closet is super small. I just ordered the Dooney Hobo 26 in Florentine leather to get my collection going. I have to carefully pick these pieces. I’m going to work on possible updating our closet insert to accommodate our things. I had fun watching you show your collection. Happy New Year ✨

[@1limitless156]

Girl!!! All I carry is Dooney and Bourke as well. They are THE BEST quality, stay looking beautiful, and so very lady like. We're not walking down the street carrying the same boring bag as everyone else.

[@dooneygirl77]

Great minds think alike!!!

[@momobaby42]

Dooney's quality is amazing! I received my first Dooney when I was 20, I'm 53 now and it is still in great condition ❤

[@no1bratnaustin]

Girl! You shocked me with the second closet!

[@dooneygirl77]

😂

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.

[@akemim9434]

Wow, beautiful collection!

[@monique00z]

Your collection takes my breath away.I own a small collection.I love the Multicolored purse toward the end where can I purchase my own also what is the name of the bag?

[@dooneygirl77]

Thanks! The bag is Multicolor Tessuta.

[@sandreawhite7534]

Beautiful collection.

[@hannahdoonie2237]

I absolutely love your collection. I've just started buying D&B. And your right not many young persons will be interested. But quality beats trendy.

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

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.

[@dooneygirl77]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I’ve been told I sound like Kenya! Ironically I’m in Atlanta!

[@Nishmonique]

In Florida Dooney is carried by all ages. My 15 year old owns 3 crossbody dooney’s and a tote. She can’t even resist Dooney and she’s a coach girl. Love your collection! TFS

[@dooneygirl77]

That's cool! I'm in Atlanta and you don't really see that.

[@terriberrens2144]

What a beautiful collection ❣️😍

[@Stanleydragonjr]

Always loved Dooney. Amazing quality they look new 20 years later. Love my Florentine. Looking for a bucket bag next. ❤❤

Beautiful collection Tfs 🥰🙏🏾👸🏽

[@tonip2910]

Great collection!! Dooney has the greatest quality hands down.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dooneygirl77]

I totally agree!

[@creativitybycarilyn6634]

I agree!! I have a few other brands, but rarely reach for them. Love your organization. TFS

[@TGChandbags]

TFS! Didn’t know about the $200 rebate policy. Would love a closer look at some of those bags!

[@joanne9359]

Hi! Thank you for this video, Dooney’s are the best! I have a Tessuta too, and I love it. Thank you for sharing your awesome collection!

[@dooneygirl77]

Hey! Thanks for watching! The bag you are inquiring about is a Sydney Maxi Quilt Satchel.

[@user-dianejcml]

I feel the same wY about my Dooney bags! Oh wow beautiful beautiful collection you have! The Tessuta... sigh 🤩 ❤❤

[@kelseyrhee4004]

i love how color coordinate your bags are! and i’m sure your kids don’t want one of those lol

[@dooneygirl77]

Too funny!!!

[@zackattackzack]

I agree ☝️ I promise you will not regret a official bag ❤

[@gg9669]

I haven’t purchased from Dooney since I was a teen in college when they had all the multi color bags. I had them all 😂. When those bags were no longer popular I left the brand. I’m 37 now and just started looking at the brand again. I Love the Alto line. I’ve got about 12 items on my wishlist. Really excited about my little reunion with Dooney.

[@LisaSoulLevelHealing]

We were a dooney and burke family 🙂 excellent quality, great seasonal bags. We were from Las Vegas, i feel it like its a west coast bag.

[@dooneygirl77]

Wow! I’m from Atlanta, so it’s not a West Coast thing!!!😂😂😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jarzolina5238]

awesome collection!

[@mdjncbrl1370]

I have few dooney and bourke bags that im starting to collect most are vintage, and i love all of them, the quality is superb. Im asian so i also follow the art of saving. I tried to get it for 15 dollars a piece, which usually a fleamarket deal. In thrift store, they usually charge double or triple on that. But if i like it very much, i sometimes get it even if it's over my budget 😂. I also have some high end designer brands that i collect ( but comparing it to dooney, i think dooney have better quality).

[@beverly80]

Most D&B bags are unfortunately made elsewhere other than in the U.S. You have avbeautiful collection ❤

[@diamondfianko5325]

Yes ma'am 👏 ..love them been Collecting since 1990

[@Minnieshandbags]

TFS!!!! Yes sis tell it! I'm in my early 40's an I've seen Dooney throughout childhood from my mom to my aunties. So it was obvious to me what my favorite handbag brand was going to be. Dooney has amazing quality bags that last the test of time.💚💚

[@leciadavis-phillips6676]

I agree. Beautiful collection. I love Dooney and I have a lot also. They never disappoint. So many silhouettes great leathers, materials, hardware, compartment spaces and accessories. Well made.

[@annwashington471]

I see Dooney is made in china, what some don't realize is that a lot of the designer luxury brands are made in China as well. china has people who are trained and can make beautiful items not just the fast fashion things people know about. Your bag collection is lovely.

[@dooneygirl77]

Thanks for your response!
