New Dooney Bourke Pattern due this summer

[Melanie]

So what do you guys think?

Not loving it initially, but it may grow on me. The black background is a plus for me though.

I'll tell you what I love about it...the dark handles. You can't go wrong with that. I still prefer a bag that zips and it doesn't look like this does. Maybe they'll introduce a zipped bag with this pattern.

I agree with you on the black background, but also on the pattern. The letters are not my thing.

[buzznwoodysmom]

Don't like it at all.

Did anyone see the Marathon bag from this year? It was a blue and green color combo. I LOVE that one. Might have to find one on ebay.

I'm with you Mel, not loving it!

Denise, I bought the letter carrier and I carry it EVERY day. Love the pattern, love the style, love the colors. I love it! I wish I'd bought the bigger one as well. If they sell it again at the Disneyland Half this fall, I'm grabbing it.

One of the reasons I love the marathon bag so much is the reason I'd consider this bag as well...the dark background. I will never again purchase a Disney Dooney with a light background. Haven't had good luck.

I like the dark background and handles, but don't like the print much...I may change my mind, but it just doesn't speak to me.

I'm in agreement with everyone else. Love the black but not the pattern. Too bold and crayola crayon-y for my taste. I do like the little flap in the front (great place for the cellphone) and that they added Minnie heads in the pattern as well.

I'm with every one else. Not in love with it, might like it better in person....but I'm not swooning.

[MNNHFLTX]

I agree about the black background/accents--looks very sharp! But that's the best they could do with the pattern? Too cartoonish. I wish they would do a pattern that is a bit more sophisticated. (I sound like I know something about Dooneys, huh? Lol!!)

This! I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but that's it....too Crayola Crayon for me too. You hit the nail on the head!

On a side note, I like it better than the Vera Bradley next to it.

Oh yes, definitely! Just not my thing at all.

I like it but don't love it. Once I see it in person, I can make a better judgement. My favorite is my black-and-white cartoon mini barrel bag. It's a tight fit for my stuff but I love it!

On that Vera Bradley side note, I saw them in person - I liked the black much better than the pink. The pink is too busy for me - Mickey and Minnie seemed to get lost in the print.

[GusNJacque]

It's cute--but not an "oh my gosh I have to have it." I am intrigued by the Vera's. I do like the black one better though--not a big pink fan.

[Disney Doll]

I like the new Disney Dooney and I haven't been a fan of most of the designs they've come out with. I have one of the sketch print bags, but haven't really cared for the others.

Hate both Vera's though. Both patterns are too busy for me.
