Dooney & Bourke - Handbags for All to Enjoy

Just in recent years Dooney & Bourke have made a major comeback from being a brand for the more mature crowd to being a brand that young girls and women of all ages enjoy wearing.

I see more of the colorfully designed handbags adorned with the name more than ever. These have become especially popular with the young and hip crowd. You'll see mostly the high school and college level girls wearing this design. Not to say that the mature crowd doesn't like this look. It's playful and fun and who doesn't like to have fun every once in awhile.

The bags look more sophisticated now that they are in more subtle and earthy tones. Now it seems these handbags are bringing the younger crowd towards developing a liking to them as well. I remember when I was a girl I didn't like my mother's handbag because it was brown all over. It didn't have any color to it. Now, browns and cremes are all I wear in the fall and winter. Funny how things change.

These handbags have become some of the most popular around. The handbags that were once not so popular, like the hobo handbags, are now being made with a more fashionable look. They look younger and more stylish.

Even the crocodile prints with eccentric colors have the handbag scene blowing up with popularity. I don't particularly care for this style, but I see them more often being carried by women over forty.

Prices range from $100 to $300 for most styles. The more expensive handbags are still fairly priced, ranging from $300 to $500. You can find cute
Dooney & Bourke handbags and other products in high-end department stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor or Nordstrom. Here's a little secret...look for coupons from these stores in the newspapers around the holidays to get 15%-20% off most items. That is when I get to shop for my goodies. My husband gets excited when he sees the savings, too!

Speaking of saving money...did you know that you can buy designer label products online? There are online stores that sell the top of the line handbags and offer discount prices for new items. Ebay is an online store that offers a vast selection of designer products, all discounted. They also have live online auctions where you can bid on a new or slightly used handbag and walk away with the bag of your choice for just a fraction of what you planned to pay. That handbag that you would pay $300 for in the stores, you could end up only paying $150 for online. It's no joke!

So, the next time you are window shopping online, like a lot of people like to do, when you decide to buy, try buying your next handbag online and see for yourself the huge savings. You'll be glad you did.
