Sellaio Collection-FIA $695 top pick…. |
jack Studios/NYC
A Dooney& Bourke media preview is a highlight on any editorial calendar---!
Right off-we give two big thumbs up to adding some Fall 2014 color in our accessories wardrobe -bumping up the staple black or browns…for the muted and deeply vibrant jewel tones we saw…different interpretations of green (
hunter, kelly, ivy, forest), blues (
navy, denim midnight, sky) and grays
(smoke, dark)...
Another noticeable continuation---less bling, more refined luxury handbags…that fantastically show off the quality of the materials.
Premium leather goods by this American company are a value, we think. It will be clear to D&Bs faithful as well as new customers ---that the selections pictured here ---are tops in quality and design. Plus-carry-alls -depending on selection-have high end trims and features: like interior cellphone and zipped pockets, sturdy lining, a key hook…and finishes like protective feet and enduring metal hardware...
Of special note-every Dooney&Bourke handbag is durable. It truly amazes us how much stuff we cram into our haulers by this label.
