There might be a scratch or light wear on the brass or a tiny scuff or stain on the leather. May have faint signs of use (will be noted specifically in description) but is almost new. All bags are pre-owned but the bags in this category do not appear to have been used.

You can always buy authentic Dooney & Bourke bags on our website. That coupled with a broken zipper really puts the value of this bag quite low.

The main value of a vintage Dooney & Bourke bag is the condition: cleanliness, no damage to stitching, no broken or missing parts, no odors.įrom a quick view of the bag you sent, I see that there is also a missing shoulder strap, missing leather thongs on at least one end of the bag, and quite a bit of wear to the exterior of the bag. If, however, it is one of the interior zippers, it might not devalue the bag quite as much as some people might not mind using the zipper pouch as just a slip pouch, leaving the zipper permanently open. If you tried to sell that bag on eBay, for example, you’d likely not even get a bid. That’s because few people want to take the time and effort and invest the money to send the bag back to Dooney & Bourke for repair. If two similar satchels were in about an 8 out of 10 condition and the one with the functional zipper was worth $150 retail the one with the broken zipper would be worth $25 or less. If it is the main zipper, I’m afraid it devalues the bag by quite a bit. Since most of the bags like this have one or two interior zipper pouches, I wasn’t sure which was broken on yours. You don’t mention if the broken zipper is the main zipper which closes the bag or an interior zipper. Can you tell me the bag’s worth since the zipper is busted? I have tried some tricks to fix it myself, but to no avail. I, unfortunately, did not read the description closely as this bag’s zipper doesn’t work. Tip: Just a heads-up, Mother’s Day is May 13 this year, so if you’re still in search of that perfect gift for mom, think Dooney & Bourke and consider your problem solved.I have purchased a vintage mini satchel similar to what you have in a post from jin the taupe and brown from another site. Special Note: Creative Director for Dooney & Bourke, Ian Ray, will be on hand from 2–5 pm for a special appearance and signing of these new collections. So make plans now to stop by Disney Vault 28 on May 12 and pick up some of this year’s must-have accessories from Dooney & Bourke.

I asked Susan what her favorite icon was from the print, and her response was simple: “ Sleeping Beauty Castle, because it was created first and really set the tone for how the rest of it would lay out.” When it’s said and done, there’s almost something magical when you think about it that way.Īnother collection that I’m excited to see first-hand, and debuting the same day on both coasts (at TrenD at Walt Disney World Resort and at Disney Vault 28 at the Disneyland Resort) is “Buttons”… which fellow author, Erin Catalano, will be sharing more details on in the coming weeks. “From the attraction, character and icon choices to the distinct color palette, it really gave us a great opportunity to incorporate a lot of detail into such an intricate design.” “The word ‘Retro’ is certainly the best and most accurate way to describe this collection,” says Susan Foy, Disney Design Group Graphic Designer. The Retro collection, which will remain exclusive to the Disneyland Resort, is sure to be a hit with Disney Parks guests. This new line will be available in a variety of popular silhouettes including a wristlet, mini barrel, tassel tote, satchel and letter carrier as well as an iPad case. Well, West Coast Dooney & Bourke collectors and Disney fans, the wait is over, because we just got the scoop on a couple of new collections set to debut May 12 at Disney Vault 28 at the Disneyland Resort. A few weeks back my friend and fellow Disney Parks Blog author, Erin Catalano, gave you a sneak peek at the newest Dooney & Bourke collections that sent people running as part of Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend, and of course setting sail on the Disney Fantasy in order to add another exclusive piece to their own personal collections.
