Dooney & Bourke 40th Anniversary Bags

(I'm having a hard time justifying the price. It must be the Social Worker in me.)
But it is so adorable.
I have the original Sketch Bag from 3 years ago (I think). It is made of a vinyl material and the handles are leather. Yes it is VERY durable. I, too, am a social worker and was "sick to my stomach" when my husband purchased it for me at DTD (after seeing and REALLY wanting one at MK the day before). I have a lot of purses, mostly Vera Bradley. I use them for a season, then put them in my closet and rarely ever get them out again. I LOVE my D&B Disney purse. I bring it out every summer. I am so proud to carry it! It reminds me of the Happiest Place on Earth. I am sure that you will carry it for years to come too. I think because they are so unique and hold special memories. Plus, what a great graduation gift.....congrats to you !

Question for you ladies...do any of you have the wristlet? I really want one for my park going goodies (I refuse to carry a real bag, but these are too cute), but I need to know about how big it is. Would my iPhone fit in there?
Thanks all!

I have ! Not the zipper one- the snap one. Fits my iPhone, a clear lanyard pouch with my tickets and money, and lip gloss. Do we really need anything else?!

LOL! No, I don't think we do. Sounds about right.
I have both a zip one and a snap one, and the zip one is a bit larger, but like Christine said, the snap one is perfect for those few necessities. I honestly do feel like my belongings are a little more secure with the zip one though.
Just a note on all these Dooney bags, and Christine hopefully will comment as well. If you like the tiny dotted texture vinyl (how these bags have been since they were introduced), get them now! Christine and I discovered last night that it seems they are doing away with that and instead it will be lined texture. Not a huge difference, but noticeable for some.

I'm so excited this will work as my park bag. I used to be a pack mule, but dice the intro of bag check, I've lightened up a lot to save time. I'll have to check out the zippered ones too... I do like the idea of added security.

Have they switched the 40th anniversary bag to the new style/type. I am going in May for a quick 24hr. trip and one of the bags is on the top of my shopping list.

I'm SO glad you found one Christine!

These were taken with my iPhone, so I am not sure they show the difference very clearly, but here goes!
Here is the original "matted" finish:

I need to bite the bullet and get the 40th one in the original material.

I like the old style better. I hope they still have it in May. I guess that could decide which style I get. I'm torn between the messenger or the crossbody.

I don't think these will be around for long...if you want one, get it now! My mom carries it everywhere and she constantly gets compliments.

Dooney & bourke 40th Anniversary Bags
I got my bag today
It's the Medium Kristen. I LOVE it!!!! I can't wait to start carrying it tomorrow. I am just so excited that I wanted to share my news
My friend brought it back from MK, Uptown Jewelers . If anyone is wondering it is the 'dotted matted' version.

I'm not positive because no one has confirmed this, but it looks like "coated cotton". This is a technique that D&B uses often. I don't have a coated cotton bag from D&B but I've seen them in the stores. When I saw these bags at Disney, they appeared similar. From what I understand, coated cotton is extremely durable. I LOVE my D&B bags!

You girls are a BAD influence. I just spent the last hour looking at these bags on the Disney Store site and on eBay.
I've narrowed down my choices. Now I just need to decide to bite the bullet and cough up more money for a purse than I have in my whole life.
They are so cute though!
