Dooney & Bourke

Dooney & Bourke

Dooney & Bourke was found in 1975 by Peter Dooney and Frederic Bourke. They launched their namesake in South Norwalk, Connecticut. The pair began with two introductory products: surcingle belts and classic suspenders. In 1981, Dooney & Bourke moved into the handbag business with the release of the Tack Case and the Equestrian Bag, both of which are made from bridle leather.

Today Dooney & Bourke offer many variations on the classic handbag including their rich leather Florentine bags.
Florence Italy is known for its fine leather work and these stylish handbags fit right in with that tradition. They are available as satchels or hobo bags, although you can also find a lovely Florentine coin purse.
Dooney & Bourke handbags are available in leather, patent leather, nubuck and canvass. Nubuck is something like suede, although nubuck is made from the outer side of the hide, while suede is made from the inner side. Nubuck is a great material to use for handbags, like the Dooney & Bourke Nubuck Collection Zip. Which is a crossbody bag that's made of nubuck with polished leather trim. It will easily hold your wallet, sunglasses, mobile phone along with a small cosmetics case.

If you love finely crafted traditional handbags and accessories, Dooney & Bourke offers many wonder selections from card cases to wallets and coin purses to shoulder bags.

Dooney and Bourke Signature

Add some 70s nostalgia to your style with this classic 1975 Signature satchel from Dooney and Bourke.  Made from canvas with the Dooney and Bourke logow with fine leather trim, it will easily hold your pocketbook, glasses, phone and even a magazine or two.

This classic satchel which harkens back to the early days of Dooney & Bourke is available from Zappos.com for $210.00.  Why not spoil yourself with an early Christmas present? If you are too young to remember the build up the the bi-centennial of the United States in 1976, then... well... I hate you. Regardless this bag would look great.

What the heck is "nubuck?"

Written by Bag Idiot
Tags: Dooney & Bourke

The word of the day is "nubuck."

I'm not ashamed to admit that I had no clue as to what nubuck was until I did some quick research. No, its not some new fangled synthetic material meant to imitate buckskin. It's specially treated leather, similar to suede. Suede is made from the inner side of a hide, while nubuck is made from the outside of the hide. The hide is sanded until it becomes a surface that is very soft to the touch.
