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 and Bourke offers many wonder selections from card cases to wallets and coin purses to shoulder bags.
