Tip For All You Disney Dooney & Bourke Fans

[DisneyPrincess21]

Just wanted to let whoever doesnt know, you can buy the Disney Dooney & Bourke products they sell at WDW through Disney's mail order company. When i was at WDW in december they were all sold out of the wristlet so i called wdw mail order company on my way home and placed my order. They were on backorder at the time but i was put on a waitlist for when they were back in stock. You dont get charged till it is shipped out to you. I get mine by UPS today! I am so excited

I got the original white one. They are the same price you would pay if you got it in the park $45

Where can you see them? Is there a Disney
site that shows them? Thanks!

[Rekenna]

I emailed the mail order group-maybe I can get one-I am interested in the black Mickey Mouse silhouette one. So we will see. Thanks for the tip!

You can find pictures of them on the different website's, you can also search for them on ebay.
Mine is white with different colored pictures of cinderella's castle, chesire cat (from alice and wonderland) tinkerbell, the rose from beauty and the beast. And it has the little pink db heart charm clipped on the side.

Mine only took a little less the a month to actually receive it, and that was during Christmas time shopping, so it shouldn't take too long for you.

My two passions are Disney and D&B. I never considered a marriage of the two until recently. I never carry my bags in the park so I'm not sure I'd buy a Disney D&B bag, but the idea of the wrist-let is intriguing. Thanks for the heads-up.

I have always loved dooney & bourke bags but could never afford one. So when I saw the Disney & D&B wristlet I was super excited. It was my first D&B purchase and I love it.

I have a Mickey Mouse wristlet that I bought at WDW a few years ago, but this is soo, I just have to have one! I love the purse & tote to though! I toold DH, any of the above would make a nice birthday present!

[Disneyatic]

Would someone mind PM'ing me the phone number for merchandising that I could call to see about getting on the waiting list for one of these awesome bags?? I found some on ebay, LOVE the black tote with the Mickey's! But would like to see if I could get it directly from Disney.

I would appreciate the info!

[Rekenna]

Sorry, I'm not sure how to PM, but the number is 407-363-6200.

Have fun!

I really didn't like the way the white D&B purse looked online, but when I saw it in WDW, I fell in love with it. I actually found the wristlet first in MK, and bought it on our first day in WDW. I got 10% off with my AP, so that saved a little. I went back later in the week to get one for my friend for Christmas, and they were sold out...EVERYHWERE. I called WD Merchandising, and they couldn't find it anywhere. Bummer.

Then, later in the trip I was shopping at Summer Lace in the Grand Flo, and saw the purse. They had 8 or 9 of them, so I got one. Again, saving 10% is a nice little bonus. They were sold out the next day!

I saw the black wristlet in the MK at the end of our trip, and they were more expensive than the white ($49 vs. $45), and I didn't like it that much compared to the white one.

The only gripe I have is for a $150 purse, the handles are junk. They got dark quickly from the natural oils in my skin, and from hand lotion. I tried to gently clean them (like I do successfully with my other leather and man made purses), and they got worse. Oh well, it doesn't stand out too badly since your eyes are drawn to the design on the purse, but I expected much better quality. I just don't like using the strap. I hate using shouldn't straps on purses that have very structured and noticeable handles. It just doesn't look right.

Their vachetta leather is supposed to age with sunlight and the natural oils of our skin. That's how they promote it and it sounds like that's the leather they used for this bag's handles.

Yeah, but when you have very light tan handles, a dark spot where you hands hold the handles looks gross. It looks like you never wash your hands.

I honestly didn't even realize they were leather. The felt like cheap vinyl. Oops.

I can always clean my other leather purses with a mild cleanser and water, or water alone. The D&B leather is kind of junky, IMO. Vachetta is basically unfinished/untreated leather. It should develop a deep honey colored patina over time, but my handles are just looking dirty, not just darkened. They would have been much better off just making the handles out of the same material as the body of the purse.

Since the purse is mostly man made material, and only the handles and trim are leather, I thought the entire thing was man made (again, because the leather trim seemed so fake). I grabbed one of my Chlorox wipes to clean one of the handles first, and it got worse. I then tried only water on the other one, and it got exactly the same way. Luckily they improved slightly when they dried, but still looked like they did when I started. I didn't realize there was a super special way to clean it, or that they used leather that was so delicate and rare.

I just read about how to clean Vachetta leather, and basically, it's futile. Apparently now my patina will get much darker than the honey color that should naturally occur if you basically never touch it.

While I still love my purse (a little less than before, though), this is my first and last D&B purse. For that large amount of money, I shouldn't have to handle a purse like it's a delicate flower or something. It's a PURSE. I'll stick to Jessica Simpson and Steve Madden.

I have not purchased one of their bags that has vachetta leather so I have no first hand experience. After hearing about what's happened with your bag, I won't even bother. I do have a handful of DB bags and their treated leather is WONDERFUL. I just love the bags so much I hate to see someone give up on them, but I totally understand your hesitation.

[Disneyglamour]

OMG this is the first that I've heard about this!! I'm going to have to check it out! How cute!!
