Old and dated

Am I the only one who thinks D&B handbags should be carried by women who are 70 and over?

I tried to sell several at a local consignment place...Clothes Mentor (a franchise place).

They wouldn't take the satchels with the D&B logos...said they were out of date and wouldn't sell! I had a black on black one and a brown with tan letters.

I was shocked!

But they did take two Basso coats - a full length faux mink and a short rosette jacket. The girl at the store loved them!

Sorry but the tsv doesn't scream over 70 to me.

It's dated and ugly also, looks like a bag from the 60s

Funny, I never thought of my hobo lock/logo in aqua for a 70 year old. I was carrying it today in Macys and 2 ladies stopped me and commented on it and they were young.

The color makes it a young style?

I have to think it is the style too. Any 70 year old would be overwhelmed by the bag. To me that bag screams cool.

Ok, you are from a younger generation. Everything old is new again.

Enough with the ageism! Last time I looked, there were no signs on clothes or handbags that said which age should wear/carry them. And not everyone under 70 is cool!

Funny how every time I carry my Florentine Domed Buckle Satchel in Chestnut, someone wants to know where I got it and says "it's a nice purse." Thought I literally was going to have to sell it to the Pharmacy Tech at Wal-Mart one day as she went nuts over it, but the best part, "I ain't 70 yet!" Even if I were I would carry what I like, what suits me and my personality, not what someone who couldn't sell some purses thinks, or anyone else for that matter.

OK, I'm over 70 and there are plenty of D&B's I just don't like. I don't need someone running a secondhand shop to tell me no one wants to buy them. I don't want them either. Why else would I try to sell them!

Are you sure you are not referring to Vera totes? I have seen DB in spreads in Instyle! Classic, beautiful bags. I have only seen old people and very young with the Vera bags.

Good taste in fashion and handbags has no age limit. The Today's Special Value tote, for example, could be carried by a woman of any age. No bells and whistles on that bag is what makes it a classic. It will be in style through the life of anyone who buys it. Good taste does not go out of style.

I agree. But I do think Dooney can be overpriced on the non all-leather bags. And there's just something about the word "satchel" that reminds me of my grandmother's generation.

Many of the styles aren't for me, but I do love my Flo bags.

I didn't realize there was an expiration age on handbags??

The answer to your question......

NO!!! I do not think D & B bags old and dated. These bags can be worn by anyone (except perhaps you) and any age.

Enjoy your canvas backpacks, girls... If fine leather bags are only for those of a certain age, then I guess there are awful lot of women out there who are a lot older than they appear to be...

Just a couple of years ago I felt self conscious carrying my Dooney bags because they were so popular with teenagers. Thought I was too old for them (I'm in my forties). But because I carry what I LOVE it didn't stop me. Was carrying the QVC Dooney pocket satchel in teal and got a compliment from a male teacher in his thirties saying ""That's a nice purse."" His wife is a teacher at the same school and she must have filled him in. The same day my friend's 23 year old niece zoomed in on the same purse and said she loved it. I think Dooney and Bourke appeals to many ages.
