Talking about someone with baggage. ;-)

Seriously though, they've held up amazingly!

Oooh they’re great!! Nice taste, those bags are very timeless. Also I love the brown-green colour way D&B favours!

What's the style/name of the front black and brown one? I was given a hand me down years ago and didn't realize it was a BIFL brand. I can't find this style on their website.

I collect vintage Dooneys and have that same buckle satchel. Those ducks are built to last!

This was the “it” bag at my school in the 90s and tbh I’m still kinda bitter that I never had one. I own many nice bags now and have thought about buying an old worn dooney to throw around as a show of dominance.

I have the green bucket and the other green one in ivory; the bucket I was given in the 90’s for my own after thefting a caramel satchel (which was already years old at that time) out of my mom’s closet because Dooney was the In Brand then. One drawstring bag later and I thought I was some hot shit.

I have many vintage D&B now, but those two are still in the rotation. These are so nice and you will pass them down in your turn! The AWL Dooneys are hardcore BIFL, with the newer non-AWL styles also contending. So nice.

I have a few nice bags that have seen *heavy* use but I regularly clean and condition them. They look just like this. If you care for your BIFL items, they don't just last. They'll look great too.

Anyone know if they are still made in the US? Coach's quality absolutely tanked once they outsourced production

My mom has 2 she has been carrying for over 20 years and they're holding up shockingly well.

i agree with you, but in this picture even the stitches in the shoulder sling are pristine. i just dont think this is a case of a well taken care of collection but someone's collectors items.

a quick glance at op's posts shows shes a soon to be married 20 something as well, so shes not the original purchaser which reinforces my collectors items hunch.

I have a D&B purse that looks brand new too. They really are high quality bags.

Great stitching, easy to wipe down. And they hold up a lot of abuse.
