Dooney Moon
I love love love all the gorgeous spring designs that are springing up from everywhere, and I especially love Dooney & Bourke’s new stuff.
The purse pictured is called the Moon Bag, from the Dooney & Bourke Signature Quilt collection.
It’s classic Dooney & Bourke goodage with an adjustable strap and pockets inside and out, fully lined and with leather trim.
It comes in a bunch of delicious colours, but I chose this banana yellow one because it reminded me of that scene in <i>Grease</i> where Doody tells Frenchie she looks like a "beautiful blonde pineapple!"
What a movie. What a purse!

Buffalo Bourke
Fresh from Dooney & Bourke’s new Spring collection, this is the Buffalo Mini Zip Top – a lovely little leather handbag with leather trim, silver hardware, one inside pocket and a brassy Dooney & Bourke sign on the front.
The best thing about this purse – and this is the best thing about Dooney & Bourke purses in general – is how big the colour selection is. I can’t imagine a person turning away because they loved the style of the bag but just couldnt find a colour to suit them.
The pink and white purse pictured is a favourite, but there are plenty more – the new Buffalo collection is just gorgeous.
Go start your spring in style!

Dooney Cowgirl
Dooney & Bourke have come over all cowgirl on us with this lovely purse from their New Leather collection.
It’s the Medium Zip Top bag, made of leather with an adjustable strap and zip closure. The front of the purse has the Dooney & Bourke logo stamped into it fairly discreetly.
The whole frontier look of this purse is extremely charming – it’s nothing close to being the girly girls’ purse we usually expect from Dooney & Bourke. It just goes to show that they really do have something for everyone!

Crocodile Style
It’s so easy to forget that Dooney & Bourke have whole ranges and purses that are different from the cutesy and colourful bags we expect.
As adorable as the Hearts or Tartan purses are, it’s really nice to see something from the other end of the spectrum – like the bag pictured.
It’s the Large Slouch from Dooney & Bourke’s Croco collection – a beautiful crocodile-style shoulder bag with an adjustable strap and a small silver "D&B" sign on the front.
If you’re the type to stray away from anything vaguely resembling hearts or flowers this Valentines, then this right here is the gift for you.
Later, Alligator!

Dooney Tattoo
This delightful addition to the Dooney & Bourke collection goes by the rather fetching name of the Tattoo Heart Banana Bag.
It’s made of a leather/cotton combo with a very sheer layer of vinyl to give it that slighty shiny quality – the lining is leather, and it has a chain handle.
The design is very similar to the classic Hearts collection — at least, from a distance it is. Up close it is very different, with the tattoo look contrasting beautifully against the white background.
Altogether an extremely cute, sexy little purse that can just be stared at and stared at and stared at…

Dooney McBourke
This is an extremely good-looking little bag — so good-looking that I had to say something about it.
Dooney & Bourke have a whole line of purses with this tartan print — this one pictured is called the North/South Bucket Bag. Made of a cotton/leather mix with plaid twill, this tote is simply brimming with character.
It’s like Burberry crossed with the Blue Man Group — quality and fun with lots of vibrant, joyous colour and energy.
Och aye, away wi’ ye!

Bon Voyage
This is one of the most gorgeous pieces of luggage I have ever seen. Ever.
It’s the Hearts Rolling Trunk from Dooney & Bourke — a big, old-fashioned type of suitcase that belongs in movies where trains are leaving stations amidst clouds of smoke and couples are frantically kissing each other goodbye.
What’s not so old-fashioned about it is the recognisable Dooney & Bourke Heart design — you’ll have no problem spotting your suitcase among all the rest with those bright, cheerful hearts adorning the trunk.
It’s worth going on vacation just to have an excuse to show this off… absolutely adorable.

Crayon Candy
I don’t think I have ever wanted to hug a purse more in my whole life.
You’ll know that that’s saying something, if you’ve seen some of the almost unbearably cute purses we’ve featured here on ArmCandy. But this particular purse pictured is in a class of it’s own.
It’s the Mini Barrel Satchel from the Dooney & Bourke Hearts collection: the outside material is a hardy white cotton with leather trim, with a heart charm. The lining is eggshell-blue and the outside print is exactly what you see — bright, cheerful crayony hearts, childish and vibrant and happy.
I love this purse for that very innocence and charm — it’s just the most adorable, sugary little thing in the world.
Your (inner) little girl wants it now!
